　　怎么？跟 Carol那晚也有冰？也有塑料座位？也有四千个火药味十足的匹兹堡球迷？

　　Ross:No, actually I was just saying it looks like we're not sitting together.But now you mention it, there was ice there that night...It was the first frost²...

　　不，实际上我只是想说好像我们的座位没在一起。不过你既然提起了，那天晚上倒真是有冰……那是第一次结霜。

　　Joey:C'mon, sit. Just sit down, sit.

　　别这样，坐下。坐下吧，坐。

　　Monica:You should feel great about yourself! You're doing this amazing independence thing!

　　你应该为自己感到骄傲！你现在独立了！

　　Rachel:Monica, what is so amazing? I gave up, like, everything. And for what?

　　Monica， 这有什么引以为豪的？我好像放弃了一切。这又是为什么啊？

　　Phoebe:You are just like Jack³.

　　你就像 Jack一样。

　　Rachel:Jack from downstairs?

　　楼下的Jack ？

　　Phoebe:No, Jack and the Beanstalk.

　　不， Jack 和 Beanstalk.

　　Monica:Ah, the other Jack.

　　啊，另一个Jack 。

　　Phoebe:Yeah, right! See, he gave up something, but then he got those magic beans.And then he woke up, and this was big plant outside his window, full of possibilities and stuff⁴...And he lived in a village, and you live in the Village...

　　对了！看吧，他放弃了某些东西，但得到了魔豆。而且他醒了后，窗外长出了巨大的植物，充满机会和希望。他住在一个小村里，而你也住在小区里。

　　Rachel:Okay, but Pheebs, Pheebs, Jack gave up a cow, I gave up an orthodontist.Okay, III know, I know I didn't love him

　　好吧，不过Pheebs ，Jack放弃了一头牛，我放弃的是一名牙医。好吗，我，我，我知道，我知道我不爱他。

　　Phoebe:Oh, see, Jack did love the cow.

　　哦，看看， Jack可是爱那头牛的。

　　Rachel:But see, it was a plan. Y'know, it was clear. Everything was figured out, and now everything's just kinda like... –

　　但那是人生规划，一切都非常清楚，都计划好了的，但现在一切都……

　　Phoebe:Floopy?

　　模糊了？

　　Rachel:Yeah.

　　就是。

　　Monica:So what, you're not the only one. I mean, half the time we don't know where we're going.You've just gotta figure at some point it's all gonna come together, and it's just gonna be...unfloopy.
