1. push one's buttons 故意的激怒某人

Phoebe对Ross生气了，但其实她自己也不知道是为什。她说Ross的时候用了这样一句话That guy can push my buttons.

Push(press) one’s buttons 故意的激怒惹恼某人。

Don’t push my buttons. 你可别惹我

「buttons」是表示「惹某人生氣的按鈕」，也就是你明明知道做什麼、說什麼會讓某人生氣，又偏偏去做、去說；而且，這些事情可能別人覺得沒什麼，但對這個人而言就是挑釁的行為。因為這個慣用語有「A 了解 B 的情緒弱點」的意義，所以也經常用「A really knows how to push B's buttons.」的方式來表達。

Phoebe: (after he's gone) I am so sorry you got caught in the middle of that. I didn't mean to be so out there. I am furious with him!

Chandler: Wow umm, calm down.

Phoebe: I'm trying, but man that guy can push my buttons!

Monica: Why are so mad at him?

Phoebe: Look, I don't wanna talk about it. Okay?

Monica: Well, it just seems that…

Phoebe: You wanna be on my list too? Keep talking! Has anyone seem my list by the way?

Chandler: Uh, no Pheebs. What's it look like?

Phoebe: Uh, it's a piece of paper and it says, "Ross" on it.

2. I've been around 我是见过世面的

Joey要去拉斯维加斯问Phoebe最佳路线，Phoebe说自己I've been around.

I’ve been around 从字面上看就是我哪儿都去过，也可以引申为我见过世面。

Phoebe: Oh hey Joey! What's up?

Joey: I can't decide which route to take to Vegas. Hey, you've traveled a lot right?

Phoebe: Yeah, I've been around.

3. tic tac toe 三连棋游戏

Phoebe给Joey规划去维加斯的路线，南北两条路都不行，Phoebe给出了奇怪的原因。说路上有一只会玩tic-tac-toe的小鸡。

Tic tac toe 三连棋游戏，两人轮流在一有九格方盘上划加字或圆圈, 谁先把三个同一记号排成横线、直线、斜线, 即是胜者。

4. back to square one 回到原点

同一个对话，按照Phoebe说的，Joey还是不知道该走哪条路，所以说back to square one.

Square one 原点，起点。

back to square one 回到原点，重新开始。

Joey: Okay, so-so which route should I take the northern route or the southern route?

Phoebe: Ooh, if you take the northern route there's a man in Illinois with a beard of bees.

Joey: Great! Problem solved!

Phoebe: But on the southern route there's a chicken that plays tic-tac-toe.

Joey: Well, back to square one.

5. heinie 屁股

在这集里Phoebe和Ross算是杠上了，Phoebe骂Ross fat ass, 事后道歉时说了这样一句话。

You have a tiny sweet heinie.

Heinie在俚语里相当于ass, bottom, 屁股。另外还有德国佬的意思。

Phoebe: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there.

Ross: Phoebe, are you, are you mad at me, or something? 'Cause if are please, tell me what it is I did!

Phoebe: Well, if you don't know I can't help you.

Ross: Well, I don't know.

Phoebe: Well, I can't help you.

Ross: Well, whatever it is I'm-I'm very, very sorry. Okay?

Phoebe: Apology accepted.

Ross: Okay. So we're, we're good?

Phoebe: Uh-huh.

Ross: All right. (Gets up.) I'll uh, I'll see you later, okay?

Phoebe: (quietly) Bye, fat ass.

Ross: ALL RIGHT!! Phoebe now come on! Will you please tell me what it is I did that mad you so mad at me!

Phoebe: I don't know! I don't remember!

Ross: Well if you can't remember, can't we just forget about this?

Phoebe: Oh no, I am mad at you. I know that much. But, I am sorry about the fat ass thing. You actually have a very sweet little heinie.

6. shut down 关闭了

Joey的电影被Shut down

shut down 停止了，关闭了。在口语了Shut down 也有拒绝的意思。

The computer is shutting down. 电脑在关机。

Joey: Hey-hey! Stanley! Hey-hey! You're leading man is here! Let's get to work.

Stanley: Umm, slight change of plans. We've shut down.

Joey: Wh-what?! Why?!

Stanley: It's a money thing, we don't have any.

7. big break 重大的突破

Joey在沙漠里收到了朋友们寄来的气球，上边写着congratulations on your big break

big break. 重大的突破，重大的机遇。

The Grip: Hey pal, are you Joey Tribbiani?

Joey: Yeah.

The Grip: These got left for ya. (He hands him a bunch of helium balloons.)

Joey: Thanks. Congratulations on your big break.
