At 02:24 Chandler said a girl got whacked on street last night. Whack, as a verb, means strike or beat somebody or something vigorously. It can replace these two words commonly used in our spoken sentences. e.g She whacked that robber with her handbag. When playing tennis, we can say he whacked the ball over the net. But whack, as a noun , has got many other usages.First, it can reprensent the sound of a heavy blow. Second, it means 'attempt'. I am going to have a whack at it. Third, it means 'share'. Trump's usually not satisfied with doing his whack as president. Whacked can also help to substitude tired and exausted. I am absolutely whacked.
At 03:19 Joey answered 'I am pretty tired from lugging the trees around.' Here lug means drag or carry something with great effort. If you live in a building with elevator, you are gonna have to lug your heavy suitcase up the stairs.
At 03:30, Phoebe showed her being against those innocent trees being cut down in their prime, but Joey argued that those trees are fulfilling their life purpose by making people happy. Do you believe such inference from Joey? The word fulfil can be used in many chicken soup ,meaning 'bring something to completion'. Is Trump going to fulfil his promise after elected? Is the psychologist able to fulfil the prophecy? Second, it means satisfy. Will your new job fulfil your expectations? How do you train your kids to fulfil the conditions of entry to a university? A successful deal requires both sides to fulfil the terms of a contract. Third, it means 'obey fully'. A father should fulfil his duty and obligation to take care of a new life. A soldier must fulfil chief's command any time he is summoned.
At 04:34, Ross said it must be kinda neat for you. Here neat means an informal usage of 'fine,excellent' in American English. That is a neat car, movie ,idea.
At 08:44, there's a very useful phrase which we can bearly use in our daily lives. It's ‘put somebody down for sth’ which means write down sth that sb is willing or wishes to buy or contribute sth. Ross is helping the little girl whose leg was broken to sell the cookies to get to the Space Camp and Ross forcibly sold five to him when Joey said he needed just one. What he's doing is to put Joey down for five. Have you ever coerced your friends into buying something to raise money for charity which they are reluctantly paying? Such dilemma is facing everyone around. Since the internet fund-raising program ‘diandichou’ ,developed by Tencent Charity aimed at helping hundreds of thousands people who suffer serious illness without being able to afford the prodigious expenses for medical treatment has gradually established and become a common tool through wechat moments, many people have received requests from their friends to donate a certain amount of money to give a hand to the friend's friends or relatives. How much you are willing to contribute relies on how much you care about your friends, not your friend's relatives instead.
At 12:28 when Monica asked Ross to put her down for another box of Mint Treasure, Ross said 'I am cutting you off'. It means to stop the supply of something to sb, because he does not want Monica to eat way too much cookies to gain tremendous weight again.
At 19:55 I got deeply moved when I saw Monica and Joey brought all the dead Chrismas trees home to make Pheobe happy. It may sound ridiculous to feel sad over the idea that each tree has got a life, but Americans learned how to respect anyone's thoughts though it appears ludicrous. Have you had any similar moments in your life? Have you neglected other ppl's preposterous thoughts or carefully preserve them?
At 22:04 Despite failing to go the camp, three boys fashioned their own version to fulfil this girl's wish. That's one of the sweetest moments bearing witness to American's spirit that I admire. Space camp must be intriguing, but a temporary failure can be compensated by our own hands no mention you can have another whact at winning the opportunity of visiting the camp next time.
