老友记精校版第1季 第78期:停电(5)

Monica: Anybody hungry? We've got a Klondike … soup.

有人饿了吗？我们有Klondike…汤。

Rachel: I've just never had a relationship with that kind of passion¹, you know, where you have to have somebody right there in the middle of a theme park.

我从来没有过那种激情似火的感情。你知道的，就是那种你和某人在主题公园中间那样。

Ross: Well, it was the only thing to do there that didn't have a line.

嗯，如果不排队的话，就只能做那个了。

Rachel: Well, see? I mean Barry wouldn't even kiss me on a miniature² golf course.

嗯，是吗？Barry甚至在迷你高尔夫球场的时候都不会吻我。

Ross: Come on.

不会吧。

Rachel: No, he said we were holding up the people behind us.

不会，他说我们挡住后面的人了。

Ross: And you didn't marry him because?

那你不和他结婚因为…？

Rachel: I mean, do you think there are people who go through life never having that kind of...

我的意思是，你觉不觉得有的人过完了一辈子，也不会有那种…

Ross: Probably. But you know, I'll tell you something. Passion is way overrated.

也许吧。不过我告诉你，人们对于激情过高估计了。

Rachel: Yeah right.

是啊。

Ross: It is. Eventually, it kind of...burns out. But hopefully, what you're left with is trust and security³ and...well, in the case of my exwife, lesbianism. So, you know, for all of those people who miss out on that passion thing, there's all that other good stuff⁴.

就是这样。最终激情都会燃烧殆尽。但是希望留给你们的是信任和安全，还有像我前妻这样，女同性恋关系。所以，要知道，对于那些错过了激情…之类的人来说，还会有很多其他美好的东西。

Rachel: OK.

好吧。

Ross: But, um...I don't think that's gonna be you.

不过，嗯…我觉得你不会那样的。

Rachel: You don't.

你不这么认为。

Ross: Uhuh. See, I see.... a big passion in your future.

呃呃，嗯，我看到…你未来会有非常大的激情。

Rachel: Really?

真的吗？

Ross: Em.

真的。

Rachel: You do?

你确定？

Ross: I do.

确定一定以及肯定。

Rachel: Oh Ross, you're so great.

哦，Ross，你太好了。

Joey: never gonna happen.

永远都不会发生的。
