老友记精校版第1季 第107期:气球飞走了(8)

Ross: Ok, Mom never hit.

好吧，妈妈从不打我。

Phoebe: Ok, all done. Monica: What, Phoebe, did you whip the potatoes? Ross needs lumps!

好了，搞定了。什么，Phoebe，你搅烂了土豆吗？Ross要吃块状的！

Phoebe: Oh, I'm sorry, oh, I just, I thought we could have them whipped and then add some peas and onions.

噢，很抱歉，噢，我以为搅烂了以后，可以加一些豌豆和洋葱。

Monica: Why would we do that?

为什么我们要那样做？

Phoebe: Well, 'cause then they'd be like my mom used to make them, you know, before she died.

嗯，因为我妈都是那样做的，你知道，在她去世之前。

Monica: Ok, three kinds of potatoes coming up.

好吧，第3种吃法出现。

Rachel: Ok, goodbye you guys. Thanks for everything. Oh, sorry! Oh, sorry!

好了，大伙，再见。 感谢你们。哦，抱歉！ 噢，抱歉！

Chandler: The most unbelievable thing has happened. Underdog has just gotten away.

最不可思议事情发生了！underdog刚刚逃跑啦！

Joey: The balloon?

那个气球吗？

Chandler: No, no, the actual cartoon character. Of course the balloon. It's all over the news. Right before he reached Macy's, he broke free and was spotted¹ flying over Washington Square Park. I'm going to the roof, who's with me?

不，是真的卡通人物。当然是那个气球！电视全是它的新闻。走到美西百货的时候他断线了，后来在华盛顿广场公园上又被发现了。我要上屋顶去看，谁跟我一起？

Rachel: I can't, I gotta go.

我不去了，我得赶飞机。

Chandler: Come on. An 80foot inflatable dog let loose over the city. How often does that happen?

来吧。80英尺长的充气狗在城市上空游荡。这样的机会有多少？

Phoebe: Almost never.

恐怕不会再有了。

Monica: Got the keys?

拿上钥匙

Rachel: Ok.

好吧

Carol: Anytime you're ready.

任何时候只要你准备好了。

Ross: Ok, ok, here we go. Ok, where am I talking to, here?

好的，好的，开始。这里吗，我得对着哪里说？

I mean, uh, well, there is one way that seems to offer a certain acoustical² advantage, but...

我的意思或许某个地方更容易让宝宝听到，但是 ...

Carol: Just aim for the bump³.
