老友记精校版第1季 第13期:参加助产培训班(1)

 　　Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it.

　　你们男生不懂的是，对于我们而言，亲吻和其他任何部分一样重要。

　　Joey: Yeah, right!...Serious?

　　没错！当真？

　　Phoebe: Oh, yeah!

　　喔，当然。

　　Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.

　　你想了解的一切全在初吻之中。

　　Monica: Absolutely.

　　没错。

　　Chandler: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, you know? I mean it's like the standup comedian¹ you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.

　　对我们而言，亲吻就像是开场。你们知道吗？就像是Pink Floyd出场前，你得耐着性子先看完单口相声。

　　Ross: Yeah, and and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's just thatthat...that's not why we bought the ticket.

　　对，而且我们并非讨厌单口相声，只是那不是我们买票的原因。

　　Chandler: You see the problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again,y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic...basically² just trying to stay awake.

　　然而问题在于，演唱会结束后，不论表演有多精采，你们女生总还想再看单口相声。明白吗？我的意思是，我们在车里，努力地冲出塞车区，主要是为了保持清醒。

　　Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian.Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.

　　好吧，那么提一个建议：叫单口相声再度上场。否则下次你们就会发现自己只能坐家里独自听唱片。

　　Joey: (pause) Are we still talking about sex?

　　我们还在谈论性吗？

　　Ross: No, it's good, it is good, it's just that mm doesn't she seem a little angry?

　　不，这样很好，这样很好，只是她看起来难道不是有点生气吗？

　　Marsha: Well, she has issues.

　　她有麻烦事。

　　Ross: Does she?

　　她有吗？

　　Marsha: She can try to live with "Mr. hey I'm Evolving³".He's out banging⁴ other women over the head with a club, while she sits at home trying to get the mastodon smell out of the carpet!

　　她可以试着和"有染先生"生活在一起。他在外头乱搞女人，而她却待家里设法去除地毯上乳齿象的气味。

　　Ross: Marsha, these are cave people. Okay? They have issues like: "Gee⁵, that glacier's getting kind of close. " See?

　　玛莎，他们是穴居人，好不好？他们关心的问题是：天呐，冰川愈来愈接近了。明白吗？

　　Marsha: Speaking of issues, isn't that your exwife?

　　谈到麻烦事，那不是你前妻吗？

　　Ross: (trying to ignore her) No. No. Marsha: Yes, it is. Carol! Hi!

　　（试图装作没看见）不，不是。是的，就是。你好，卡萝。

　　Ross: Okay, okay, yes, it is. (waves) How about I'll, uh, catch up with you in the Ice Age.

　　好吧，好吧，是，是她。我会到冰河期去找你怎么样。
