英语PK台 第227期:从ABC开始扔掉字幕看《老友记》(47)

 片段一：第23集

事件：医院候诊室，一个女人推着一对刚出生的双胞胎走过

Phoebe: Oh, look, twins. Hi, guys. Oh, cute, cute.

Monica: No fair. I don't even have one. How come they get two?

Chandler: You'll get one.

Monica: Oh yeah? When?

Chandler: All right. I'll tell you what. When we're 40, if neither one of us are married, what do you say you and I get together and have one?

Monica: Why won't I be married when I'm 40?

Chandler: Oh, no, no. I just meant hypothetically.

Monica: Ok, hypothetically, why won't I be married when I'm 40?

Chandler: No, no, no.

Monica: What is it? Is there something fundamentally unmarriable about me?

Chandler: (trapped) Uh, uh.

Monica: Well?

Chandler: Dear God! This parachute¹ is a knapsack! (throws himself over the back of the chair he was sitting in)

片段二

事件：罗斯和前妻卡罗尔的儿子本出生了，老友们温情地逗弄着婴儿。

Ross: Yeah. This is Ben. Ben, this is everybody.

Phoebe: Susan, he looks just like you.

Rachel: Oh, god, I can't believe one of us actually has one of these.

Chandler: I know, I still am one of these.

Monica: Ross, can I?

Ross: The head, the head. You gotta...

Monica: (getting choked² up) Hi, Ben. Hi. I'm your Aunt Monica. Yes I am. I'm your Aunt Monica. I...I will always have gum³.

Ross: Ben, I want you to know that there may be sometimes when I may not be around, like this. But I'll still always come back, like this. And sometimes I may be away longer, like this. But I'll still always come back, like this.

Chandler: And sometimes, I'll want you to steal third, and I'll go like this.

Monica: He is so amazing.

Rachel: Oh, I know. Look at him.

Joey: Ben, Ben, hey Ben. Nothing. I don't think that's his name.

Phoebe: Oh, look, look, he's closing his eyes. Look, he's opening his eyes.

Joey: He doesn't do much, does he?

Ross: No, this is pretty much it.

Phoebe: Oh, look, he's closing his eyes again.
