​[Scene: A Restaurant, Monica and Paul are eating.]

-Monica: Oh my God!

嗯,天啊。

-Paul: I know, I know, I'm such an idiot.

我知道,我是个大白痴。

I guess I should have caught on when she started going to the dentist four and five times a week.

她每周看四五次牙医时我就该了解,

I mean, how clean can teeth get?

我指牙齿能有多干净?

-Monica: My brother's going through that right now, he's such a mess. How did you get through it?

我哥正承受着这种痛苦,一副失魂落魄的样子。你是怎么熬过来的?

-Paul: Well, you might try accidentally breaking something valuable of hers, say her-

你可以偶然地,砸烂她贵重的东西,比如她的……

-Monica: -leg?

……腿?

-Paul: (laughing) That's one way! Me, I- I went for the watch.

这样也不赖!我……我砸烂了她的表。

-Monica: You actually broke her watch? Wow! The worst thing I ever did was, I-I shredded my boyfriend's favorite bath towel.

你真的砸烂过她的表?哇!我做过的最坏的事情是,我撕碎了男朋友最喜欢的浴巾。

-Paul: Ooh, steer clear of you.

那可惹不得你哦

-Monica: That's right.

对啊。

[Scene: Monica's Apartment, Rachel is talking on the phone and pacing.

-Rachel: Barry, I'm sorry... I am so sorry...

Barry,真是对不起。

I know you probably think that this is all about what I said the other day about you making love with your socks on,

你一定认为此事与我那次说的话有关,关于你做爱时,穿着袜子,

but it isn't... it isn't, it's about me,

其实不是,问题出在我身上,我……

and I ju- (She stops talking and dials the phone.)

Hi, machine cut me off again... anyway...look, look,

电话又掉线了,不管怎么样….瞧瞧

I know that some girl is going to be incredibly lucky to become Mrs. Barry Finkel,

我知道某个女孩将异常幸运地成为Finkel Barry太太,

but it isn't me, it's not me.

但那不是我,不是我。

And not that I have any idea who me is right now, but you just have to give me a chance to...

而我现在连我自己是谁都不知道,但你还应该给我一个机会向你……

(The machine cuts her off again and she redials.)

[Scene: Ross's Apartment; Ross is pacing while Joey and Chandler are working on some more furniture.]

你还是停下来吧!

-Ross: That only took me an hour.

我才花了一小时

-Chandler: Look, Ross, you gotta understand, between us we haven't had a relationship that has lasted longer than a Mento.

看啊,Ross,你应该理解,

You however have had the love of a woman for four years.

但你和一个女人相爱已经四年了,

Four years of closeness and sharing at the end of which she ripped your heart out, and that is why we don't do it! I don't think that was my point!

四年的亲近和分享,最后她把你的心都伤透了,这就是我们为什么不这样做!我认为这并不是我的意思。

-Ross: You know what the scariest part is?

你知道最可怕的地方是什么吗?

What if there's only one woman for everybody, you know?

如果每个人只有一个女人适合,知道吗?

I mean what if you get one woman- and that's it?

就是说如果你拥有一个女人,就成了,

Unfortunately in my case, there was only one woman- for her...

不幸的是,她拥有了一个女人…

-Joey: What are you talking about? 'One woman'?

你在说什么啊?“一个女人”?

That's like saying there's only one flavor of ice cream for you. Let me tell you something, Ross.

那就好像你只有一种口味的冰激凌,让我告诉你,Ross,

There's lots of flavors out there. There's Rocky Road, and Cookie Dough, and Bing! Cherry Vanilla.

还有很多中口味,有巧克力坚果口味,曲奇口味,然后还有香草口味

You could get them with Jimmies, or nuts, or whipped cream! This is the best thing that ever happened to you!

还可以和糖条,果仁,或者奶油一起吃!现在是你一生中最好的事情发生了!

You got married, you were, like, what, eight? Welcome back to the world! Grab a spoon!

你难道是八岁结婚的?欢迎来到现实!拿起勺子!

离我的冰箱远点

[Scene: A Restaurant, Monica and Paul are still eating.]

-Paul: Ever since she walked out on me, I, uh...

自从她离开我之后

-Monica: What?..... What, you wanna spell it out with noodles?

难道你想边吃面条边讲出来?

-Paul: No, it's, it's more of a fifth date kinda revelation.

不,不止要和你第五次约会的事情。

-Monica: Oh, so there is gonna be a fifth date?

噢,那么会有第五次约会喽。

-Paul: Isn't there?

你不想吗?

-Monica: Yeah... yeah, I think there is. -What were you gonna say?

不,我想。你想说什么?

-Paul: Well, ever-ev-... ever since she left me, um, I haven't been able to, uh, perform. (Monica takes a sip of her drink.) ...Sexually.

好吧,自从,自从她离开我之后,我一直不能,不能,过性生活

-Monica: (spitting out her drink in shock) Oh God, oh God, I am sorry... I am so sorry...

噢天那,对不起,对不起…

没事

-Monica: I know being spit on is probably not what you need right now. Um... how long?

-Rachel: Oh...see... but Joanne loved Chachi! That's the difference!

哦,看啊,可是Joanne爱的是Chaci! 这就是不同

[Scene: Ross's Apartment, they're all sitting around and talking.]

-Ross: (scornful) Grab a spoon. Do you know how long it's been since I've grabbed a spoon? Do the words 'Billy, don't be a hero' mean anything to you?

“拿起勺子…”你知道我多久没拿勺子了吗?难道“比利,别逞英雄”这句话对你没意义?

-Joey: Great story! But, I uh, I gotta go, I got a date with Andrea--Angela--Andrea... Oh man, (looks to Chandler)

真是个好故事!但是,我得走了,我要和Andrea, 还是Angela, 还是Andrea约会

-Chandler: Angela's the screamer, Andrea has cats.

Andrea是爱尖叫的那个,Angela有猫

-Joey: Right. Thanks. It's Julie. I'm out here. (Exits.)

好啦。谢啦。是Julie. 我走了。

-Ross: You know, here's the thing.
