英语PK台 第744期:《老友记》900句(67)

 地点：莫妮卡和瑞秋的公寓

人物：莫妮卡，菲比，瑞秋，乔伊

事件：与男生们互换公寓后，莫妮卡发现家里有个开关不知有何用途，于是她开始了锲而不舍的寻找。

Monica: Done?

莫妮卡：好了吗？

Phoebe: Yep!

菲比：嗯！

Rachel: Hey!

瑞秋：嗨！

Joey: Hey! What's up?

乔伊：嗨！你们在搞什么？

Monica: This switch thing has been driving me crazy. So I turned it off and checked every outlet¹. Now, four of them don't work, which means, one of them has to be controlled by the switch. So, I plugged in things in all four of the outlets² that-that make noise, so that way, when I turn it on I just follow the noise and find out which one it is.

莫妮卡：开关的事情都快把我逼疯了，于是我把它关掉，仔细检查每一个插座。现在发现有4个插座不能用，也就是说，这4个插座中，有一个肯定是受那个开关控制的。于是，我把每个插座都插上能发声的东西，所以当我打开那个开关的时候，顺着声音，我就能知道它是控制哪个插座的了。

Joey: I bet³ I stopped listening before you did.

乔伊：我保证在你之前我就没有在听她讲了

Rachel: Y'know, you-you also could've used uh, lamps and then followed the light.

瑞秋：其实啊，你，你也可以用灯呀，然后顺着亮找。

Monica: Yeah, well, I'm using noise. Okay. All right! So, is everybody ready? Here we go. I hear something! I hear something! Where is it?

莫妮卡：是啊，可以呀。只不过我用声音。好的，好了！大家都准备好了吗？开始了！我听到了，我听到声音了！在哪里？

Rachel: It's coming from Joey!

瑞秋：是乔伊发出来的！

Phoebe: Oh my God, that's so freaky! Turn him off!

菲比：噢，天啊，太可怕了！快把他关掉。
