英语PK台 第753期:《老友记》900句(69)

 地点：钱德勒和乔伊的公寓（原莫妮卡和瑞秋的公寓）

人物：钱德勒，乔伊，菲比

事件：菲比孕后忍不住想吃肉，可是心里又非常愧疚，在她陷入两难境地纠结之时，乔伊决定代替菲比吃素。

Chandler: There’s a Phoebe on my sandwich!

钱德勒：有个菲比在我的三明治上！

Joey: Phoebe, what–what are you doing?

乔伊：菲比，你在干什么？

Phoebe:I can’t help it. I need the meat. The baby needs the meat.

菲比：我忍不住，我需要肉。孩子想吃肉。

Joey: All right look, y’know how when you’re dating someone and you don’t want to cheat on them, unless it’s with someone really hot?

乔伊：好吧，你知道你和别人交往时不能欺骗她们，但除非遇见特辣的，对吧？

Phoebe: Yeah, totally!

菲比：对，是这样！

Joey: All right. This is the same kind of deal. If you’re going to do something wrong, do it right!Feel better now?

乔伊：好的，同样的道理，既然你已经决定破戒了，那就吃点儿好的吧！现在感觉好点儿了吗？

Phoebe: Yeah, but at what cost? Six more months, three meals a day, I’m gonna eat like, millions of cows. Mommy cows, daddy cows, baby cows. No, I’ll never eat baby cows. No veal¹! But veal.

菲比：嗯，可是，这要付出多大的代价啊？6个月,一天3顿肉,我会吃掉，成千上万头牛。牛妈妈，牛爸爸，牛宝宝。不，我绝不会吃牛宝宝的！死也不吃！（想了想）尽量不吃！

Joey: Hey, what if I said, I could even things out for you, meat-wise.

乔伊：嘿，要是这样呢：我做些事帮你扯平，肉方面的。

Phoebe: What?

菲比：怎么做啊？

Joey: Well, I eat a lot of meat right? Suppose until the baby’s born I laid off it. No extra animals would die, you–you’d just be eating my animals.

乔伊：我总是吃肉，对吗？假设到孩子出世前，我戒掉肉，那么就没有额外的动物会死掉，你就相当于在吃我的动物。

Phoebe: Joey, I can’t believe you would do that for me.

菲比：乔伊，我不敢相信，你会为我这样做。

Joey: Absolutely! I could be a vegetarian². There’s no meat in beer, right?

乔伊：当然能！我也可以做一个素食者啊。不过，啤酒里没有肉的，对吧？
