《Friends》S01E01 老友记英语学习笔记6:第一次独立生活是很困难的

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, everyone is sitting around the kitchen table. Rachel's credit cards are spread out on the table along with a pair of scissors.]

-Rachel: Oh God, come on you guys, is this really necessary? I mean, I can stop charging anytime I want.

天呀,各位,这真的必要吗?我随时都可以停止使用的,

-Monica: Come on, you can't live off your parents your whole life.

你不能靠你爸妈过一辈子

-Rachel: I know that. That's why I was getting married.

我知道,这就是为什么我要结婚

-Phoebe: Give her a break, it's hard being on your own for the first time.

别逼她,第一次独立生活是很困难的

-Rachel: Thank you.

谢谢你

-Phoebe: You're welcome. I remember when I first came to this city. I was fourteen.

不客气,记得我第一次来这个城市,我才十四岁,

My mom had just killed herself and my step-dad was back in prison, and I got here, and I didn't know anybody.

我妈妈刚自杀,我继父进了监狱,然后在这里我不认识任何人

And I ended up living with this albino guy who was, like, cleaning windshields outside port authority, and then he killed himself, and then I found aromatherapy.

然后我和一个在港务局,给人擦车窗的白化病人住在一起,最后他也自杀了,然后我找到按摩这份工作,

So believe me, I know exactly how you feel.

所以相信我,我完全了解你的感受

(Pause)

-Ross: The word you're looking for is 'Anyway'...

你想说的话是..总之….

-Monica: All right, you ready?

好了,准备好了吗

-Rachel: No. No, no, I'm not ready! How can I be ready? "Hey, Rach! You ready to jump out the airplane without your parachute?" Come on, I can't do this!

不不不,我没准备好,我怎么能准备好?“嘿,Rach! 你没带降落伞就跳出飞机了?”不要这样,我做不到!

-Monica: You can, I know you can!

你行,我知道你行

-Rachel: I don't think so.

我不怎么想

-Ross: Come on, you made coffee! You can do anything!

来嘛,你会泡咖啡!你能做任何事!

(Chandler slowly tries to hide the now dead plant from that morning when he and Joey poured their coffee into it.)

-Ross: Come on, cut. Cut, cut, cut,...

来吧,剪掉,剪掉,剪掉,剪掉,剪掉,

-All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut... (She cuts one of them and they cheer.)

cheer: 欢呼,剪掉,剪掉,剪掉,剪掉,

Rachel: Y'know what?  I think we can just leave it at that.  It's kinda like a symbolic gesture...

Monica:  Rachel!  That was a library card! 

All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut..

Chandler: (as Rachel is cutting up her cards) Y'know, if you listen closely, you can hear a thousand retailers scream. 

(She finishes cutting them up and they all cheer.)

Monica: Welcome to the real world! It sucks. You're gonna love it! 

[Time Lapse, Rachel and Ross are watching a TV channel finishes it's broadcast day by playing the national anthem.] 

Monica: Well, that's it (To Ross) You gonna crash on the couch?

你要睡在沙发上吗?

Ross: No. No, I gotta go home sometime. 

Monica: You be okay? 

Ross: Yeah. 

Rachel: Hey Mon, look what I just found on the floor. (Monica smiles.) What? 

Monica: That's Paul's watch. You just put it back where you found it. Oh boy. Alright. Goodnight, everybody. 

Ross and Rachel: Goodnight.

(Monica stomps on Paul's watch and goes into her room.)

Ross: Mmm. (They both reach for the last cookie) Oh, no- 

Rachel: Sorry- 

Ross: No no no, go- 

Rachel: No, you have it, really, I don't want it- 

Ross: Split it?

分开?

Rachel: Okay. 

Ross: Okay. (They split it.) You know you probably didn't know this, but back in high school, I had a, um, major crush on you.

你大概不知道我在高中时,我曾经暗恋过你。

Rachel: I knew. 

Ross: You did! Oh.... I always figured you just thought I was Monica's geeky older brother.

我总想你认为我不过是莫妮卡的书呆子哥哥。

Rachel: I did. 

Ross: Oh. Listen, do you think- and try not to let my intense vulnerability become any kind of a factor here- but do you think it would be okay if I asked you out? Sometime? Maybe?

你是否认为如果抛开其他不好的因素,我能偶尔约你出去吗?有时?有可能?

Rachel: Yeah, maybe... 

Ross: Okay... okay, maybe I will... 

Rachel: Goodnight. 

Ross: Goodnight. 

(Rachel goes into her room and Monica enters the living room as Ross is leaving.) 

Monica: See ya.... Waitwait, what's with you? 

等等,你怎么了?

Ross: I just grabbed a spoon. (Ross exits and Monica has no idea what that means.) 

我刚“抓住了勺子”!

Closing Credits

[Scene: Central Perk, everyone is there.] 

Joey: I can't believe what I'm hearing here.

我真不敢相信我的耳朵。 

Phoebe: (sings) I can't believe what I'm hearing here... 

Monica: What? I-I said you had a- 

Phoebe: (sings) What I said you had... 

Monica: (to Phoebe) Would you stop? 

Phoebe: Oh, was I doing it again?

All: Yes!

Monica: I said that you had a nice butt, it's just not a great butt.

Joey: Oh, you wouldn't know a great butt if it came up and bit ya.

Ross: There's an image.

Rachel: (walks up with a pot of coffee) Would anybody like more coffee? 

Chandler: Did you make it, or are you just serving it? 

你煮的还只是端过来而已?

Rachel: I'm just serving it. 

All: Yeah. Yeah, I'll have a cup of coffee. 

Chandler: Kids, new dream... I'm in Las Vegas. (Rachel sits down to hear Chandler's dream.)

Customer: (To Rachel) Ahh, miss?   More coffee? 

Rachel: Ugh. (To another customer that's leaving.) Excuse me, could you give this to that guy over there? (Hands him the coffee pot.) Go ahead. (He does so.) Thank you. (To the gang.) Sorry.  Okay, Las Vegas.

Chandler: Okay, so, I'm in Las Vegas... I'm Liza Minelli-
