Mr．"The glass is half empty" 有这样的一种比喻“如果有一个只装了一半水的水杯，乐观者认为‘水杯有一半是满得’悲观者则认为‘有一半是空的’”，这就是“pessimist”和“The glass is half empty.”关系的由来。 CHAN说的“Mr. "The glass is half empty."”确实等于pessimist（悲观主义者）的意思 Ross: Today's the day Carol and I first.. consummated our physical relationship. (Joey is puzzled.) Sex. ..You know what, I'd better pass on the game. I think I'm just gonna go home and think about my ex-wife and her lesbian lover. consummate v. 圆房 完婚/pass on v.不去 Ross: Alright, alright, maybe it'll take my mind off it.

FICA abbr.Federal Insurance Contributions Act (美国)联邦社会保险捐款法/ FICA:瑞秋拿到了第一张工资单，意外地发现金额很少，而且一个FICA的家伙拿走了她的很多钱。其实，这是从来没有工作过的瑞秋不了解情况，FICA并非是哪个人，而是根据联邦保险法案(Federal Insurance Contribution Act)规定员工必须交纳的社会保障金和医疗保险金，它可以占到收入的百分之七左右，对低收入者影响较大 Kiki: And while we're on the subject of news.. (She holds up here finger to show off her engagement ring and they all scream again.) on the subject of adv.谈到...时 涉及...时 Joey: Leetch spots Messier in the crease- there's the pass!

But we can prep the guy! tweezers n.镊子/prep vt.使(病人)准备接受手术 使准备好 Phoebe: No, Jack and the Beanstalk beanstalk n. 豆茎/Jack and the Beanstalk:瑞秋后悔自己离家出走，菲比则用《杰克和魔豆(Jack and the Beanstalk)》的故事劝慰她。这是著名的西方童话：杰克用一头牛换了三颗魔豆，妈妈生气地将魔豆扔出窗外，第二天魔豆长得高入云霄，杰克爬上魔豆，从巨人那里偷走了金币和会下金蛋的母鸡。菲比的用意是告诉瑞秋，虽然你放弃了牛，但你得到了自立生活的魔豆/In this simple but ever popular tale, the hero Jack, a poor widow's feckless(adj.软弱无用的) son, sells their cow for five magic beans, which his mother angrily throws away. By next day, their stems reach up to the sky; climbing up, Jack finds the castle of a man-eating giant, whose wife befriends(vt.帮助) and hides him. Three times he steals magic golden treasures; the third time he is discovered and the giant chases him, but he chops down the beanstalk and the giant dies. Phoebe: Yeah, right! See, he gave up something, but then he got those magic beans. And then he woke up, and there was this, this big plant outside his window, full of possibilities and stuff.. And he lived in a village, and you live in the Village.. Village:Phoebe在罗列jack和rach的相同之处，jack住在一个真正的村子里，而纽约的住宅区大多也都叫Village，（Greenwich Village，East Village，West Village），这在Phoebe眼中也是相同点 Chandler: Listen, it's kind of an emergency. Well, I guess you know that, or we'd be in the predicament room. (The receptionist glares at him.) predicament n.尴尬的处境 困境/predicament room尴尬病房 Ross: (jumping to his feet) Look, I don't wanna make any trouble, okay, but I'm in a lot of pain here, alright? My face is dented. jump to one's feet马上站起来/dent v.使凹下 Rachel: (miserably) No, no, that's not what we ordered...

Prior to joining ABC News, he was a senior political adviser to the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of Bill Clinton and later became Clinton's communications director.He is married to actress Alexandra Wentworth, with whom he has two daughters/George Stephanopoulos: Friends 第一季在美国播出时，是一九九四年，当时是克林顿当总统，而George Stephanopoulos就是那个时期克林顿政策顾问的名字。George Stephanopoulos是克林顿总统时期白宫负责政策和政治运作的总统高级顾问，后离职去哥伦比亚大学教书，他是希腊移民，长相俊俏，算是常上新闻的热门人物。所以在这段之前的对话，Monica还一直追问送比萨的小弟，那人是否长得像地中海地区的人，当她确定那人的长相之后，就感到非常地兴奋。 Monica: (leaping off of the couch and runs up) Wait! Did you say 'G.Stephanopoulos?' Pizza Guy: Yeah. This one goes across the street, I must have given him yours. Oh, bonehead, bonehead! bonehead n.笨蛋 Monica: Wait, was this a small mediterranean guy with curiously intelligent good looks?

Aloysius Snuffleupagus, more commonly known as Mr. Snuffleupagus or Snuffy, is one of the Muppet characters on the long-running educational television program for young children, Sesame Street. He resembles a woolly(adj.羊毛的) mammoth, without tusks(n.长牙) or (visible) ears, and he is a friend of Big Bird. He attends Snufflegarten and has a baby sister named Alice/这里Rachel是一时口误，竟然把政治人物George Stephanopoulos念成Georege snuffleupagus。而在美国家喻户晓的儿童节目《芝麻街》内，Big Bird一直幻想出来的好朋友，就叫做snuffleupagus.，但它不是人，而是一只可爱的大象 Monica: Yeah. I think you have to draw him out. And then when you do- he's a preppy animal. draw sb out v.让某人出来/preppy n.(大学)预科生(=preppie) Ross: Little louder, okay, I think there's a man on the twelfth floor in a coma who didn't quite hear you... in a coma adv.在昏迷中 Monica: Okay. Okay, I got one. Do you remember that vegetarian paté that I made that you loved so much? paté n.肉酱 鱼酱/vegetarian paté n.素食酱/Phoebe是素食主义者，Monica曾经谎称给她做了个“蔬菜pate”,其实里面掺了鹅肉。这对Phoebe来说是个很大的打击。就好像有人请穆斯林一起吃肉，而且是牛肉，结果他们实际上给回民吃的是猪肉，这对他们来说是种亵渎 。 Chandler: Oh, I thought you were great in Silence of the Lambs. Oh come on, admit it! All things considered, you had fun tonight. all things considered adv.全面地考虑 Ross: (to the kid) Oh yeah? Well, I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever—(to Chandler)—can't do it. (to the kid) Listen, give me back my puck.

No rough holding in my ER! rough holding n.粗暴的行为/ER n.emergency room。
