英语PK台 第138期:从ABC开始扔掉字幕看《老友记》(21)

 地点：菲比的轿车里

人物：乔伊，钱德勒，莫妮卡，菲比

事件：瑞秋和罗斯分手后，邀请除罗斯外的四个好友周末一起去滑雪。大家都为把罗斯一人留在家里感到难过。

Joey: Hey, does anybody else feel bad about Ross?

Monica: Why? Do you think he's still mad at us?

Chandler: Well he's probably more mad since you called him this morning to borrow his goggles¹.

Joey: What? Mine aren't tinted².

Phoebe: Chandler!

Chandler: What?

Phoebe: What does the sign say?

Chandler: Beam me up Jesus.

It's a reference to star trek³. People often quote "Beam me up Scotty."

Phoebe: No, the "No Smoking" sign. There's no smoking in my Grandmother's cab.②

Chandler: Okay, well, then, I–I have to go to the bathroom.

All: Oh!

Phoebe: Please!

Monica: No! No unscheduled stops. You can go when we stop for gas.

Chandler: Oh, come on, there's a rest stop right up there! Come on, I really have to goooooooooo.

"I have to go," is a very childish way to express that you need to use the bathroom. So it's cute. Chandler is saying it sarcastically⁴. He knows how childish he is being.

Joey: Oh, now I have to go!

Since Joey is the most immature⁵ and childish out of the whole group, it makes sense for him to say it seriously.
