Rachel: Oh god. Oh, am I being like a total laundry¹ spaz? I mean, am I supposed to use like one machine for shirts and another machine for pants?

哦，天呐，我就是个洗衣白痴。我想，我是不是应该用一台机器洗衬衣，另一台洗裤子？

Rachel: Well, not myself, but I know other people that have. Okay. You caught me. I'm a laundry virgin².

嗯，没自己洗过，但我知道其他人这样洗。好吧，被你发现了，我是第一次来洗衣房。

Ross: Uh, well, don't worry, I'll use the gentle cycle. Okay, um, basically³ you wanna use one machine for all your whites, Okay, a whole other machine for your colors. And a third for your uh, your uh, delicates, and that would be your bras and your underpanty things.

啊，好吧，别担心，我会用轻柔循环模式的。好，最基本的，你得用一台机器洗你所有白色的衣服，好，另一台洗其他颜色的衣服。第三个洗你精致的衣物，就是胸罩和内裤之类的。

Rachel: Okay, well, what about these are white cotton panties. Would they go with whites or with delicates?

好的，那这些棉质的白色内裤呢？和白色衣服一起洗，还是贴身衣物？
