: are working on some more furniture.]

: with a hammer and it collapses.)
: Ross: That only took me an hour.
: Chandler: Look, Ross, you gotta understand, between us we haven't had
: a relationship that has lasted longer than a Mento.

感覺六人行的編劇們似乎很愛吃曼陀珠?

這邊用曼陀珠形容感情長度,

第八季Joey接受雜誌訪問時又拿曼陀珠搞笑,

這讓我忍不住想像八年來編劇們的桌上是否常有曼陀珠相伴.....

: You, however have had the love of a woman for four years.
: Four years of closeness and sharing at the end of which
: she ripped your heart out, and that is why we don't do it!
: I don't think that was my point!
: Ross: You know what the scariest part is?
: What if there's only one woman for everybody, y'know?
: I mean what if you get one woman- and that's it?
: Unfortunately in my case, there was only one woman- for her...
: Joey: What are you talking about? 'One woman'?
: That's like saying there's only one flavor of ice cream for you.
: Lemme tell you something, Ross. There's lots of flavors out there.
: There's Rocky Road, and Cookie Dough, and Bing! Cherry Vanilla.
: You could get 'em with Jimmies, or nuts, or whipped cream!
^^^^^^^^^^
美國人幾乎人人都愛吃冰淇淋,

而且口味千變萬化,顏色更是繽紛燦爛什麼都有,配料也是種類繁複.

我個人覺得最神奇的是餅乾糊口味(cookie dough)

不過我覺得餅乾糊很神奇,老美也覺得我們的紅豆/綠豆/芋頭冰很神奇:)

Jimmies就是五彩糖花,又叫Sprinkles:

: This is the best thing that ever happened to you!
: You got married, you were, like, what, eight?
: Welcome back to the world! Grab a spoon!
: Ross: I honestly don't know if I'm hungry or horny.
: Chandler: Stay out of my freezer!
: [Scene: A Restaurant, Monica and Paul are still eating.]
: Paul: Ever since she walked out on me, I, uh...
: Monica: What?..... What, you wanna spell it out with noodles?
: Paul: No, it's, it's more of a fifth date kinda revelation.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
這邊說到"第五次約會"是一種比喻法.

美國人約會有個不成文的模式,大概是像這樣:

第一次約會吃飯,散會時輕輕吻別

第二次約會吃飯看電影,散會時正式接吻

當然不一定都是照這個模式,

總之就是談話內容與肢體接觸都是一次比一次深入,

大概都要到第三次約會以後才會談到小秘密之類的事情.
: [Scene: Monica's Apartment, Rachel is watching Joanne Loves Chaci.]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Joanne Loves Chaci"是美國影集"Happy Day"的續集,

就像"Joey"是"Friends"的續集一樣.

而"Happy Day"就是有Fonzie的那個影集--

幫Phoebe接生三胞胎的醫生心心念念的就是這部!

看來編劇對Happy Day也有很特殊的情感....

: Priest: We are gathered here today to join Joanne Louise Cunningham and
: on TV Charles, Chachi-Chachi-Chachi, Arcola in the bound of holy matrimony.
: Rachel: Oh...see... but Joanne loved Chachi! That's the difference!

: [Scene: Ross's Apartment, they're all sitting around and talking.]
: Ross: (scornful) Grab a spoon. Do you know how long it's been
: since I've grabbed a spoon?
: Do the words 'Billy, don't be a hero' mean anything to you?
: Joey: Great story! But, I uh, I gotta go,
: I got a date with Andrea--Angela--Andrea...
: Oh man, (looks to Chandler)
: Chandler: Angela's the screamer, Andrea has cats.
: Joey: Right. Thanks. It's June. I'm outta here. (Exits.)
^^^^^^^
有些月份名可以當女生名,

January,April,May, June在美國都頗常見
