英语PK台 第202期:从ABC开始扔掉字幕看《老友记》(39)

 地点：咖啡厅

人物：罗斯，珍妮丝

事件：罗斯和珍妮丝这两个伤心人误打误撞在了一起，可后来珍妮丝也受不了罗斯总是在抱怨，要和罗斯分手。

Janice: What is wrong now?

Ross: This isn't what I ordered! Man! Can anything go right in my life? First my marriage falls apart and then…

Janice: I know! I know! And then you lose your apartment! And then you lose your job! And then your ex-wife gets married so fast! And now the coffee—ahh! Ross, we need to talk.

Ross: Okay. Sometimes I feel…

Janice: No, no. I'm going to talk. I believe that the sun has set on our day in the sun.

Ross: Huh?

Janice: You're a very sweet person, Ross. Umm, unfortunately I don't think I can take another second of you whining¹!

Ross: Let–let me make sure I'm hearing this right. You're ending this with me because I'm too whiny²? So you're saying, I've become so whiny that I annoy you, Janice.

Janice: Well yeah!!

Ross: Oh… my… god!
