OPENING CREDITS

[Scene: Rachel and Monica's, Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel are eating breakfast.]

ROSS: I have to say Tupolo Honey by Van Morrison.

RACHEL: Nooo Way! The most romantic song ever is The Way We Were.

PHOEBE: See, I-I think that one that Elton John wrote for, um, that guy on Who’s The Boss.

Tupelo Honey L The Way We Were，Who’s The Boss:老友们在谈论哪首歌曲是最浪漫的。罗斯说是爱尔兰民谣歌手范·莫里森(Van Morrison)的《土波罗蜜(Tupelo Honey)》，而瑞秋则说是影片《往日情怀》当中那首同名主题曲《往日情怀(The Way We Were)》。 菲比则提到了埃尔顿·约翰曾经为九十年代早期红过的电视连续剧《妙管家(Who’s The Boss)》中的演员托尼·丹泽(Tony Danza)写过一首歌，众人惊问，那是什么歌曲?菲比就唱了起来：“抱紧我，托尼·丹泽(Hold me close， Tony Danza)。”原来，这完全是菲比把歌词听错了，埃尔顿·约翰确实写过一首叫做《飞燕舞者(Tiny Dancer)》的歌，里面的歌词有一句是：“抱紧我，飞燕舞者(Hold me close，Tiny Dancer)。”/ See, I-I think that one that Elton John wrote for, um, that guy on Who’s The Boss. What song was that, Pheebs? (singing) Hold me close, young Tony Dan-za: Actually, Phoebe is talking about Elton John’s hit song Tiny Dancer in which real lyrics go “ Hold me close, young Tiny Dancer.” However, as a freaking funny gal, she sang the song “ hold me close, Tony  Danza”  on purpose, because she joked Tony Danza who is a famous US actor starred in TV series: Who’s the boss (妙管家)
 
RACHEL: What song was that, Pheebs?

PHOEBE: (singing) Hold me close抱紧我, young Tony Dan-za.

[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe and Rachel are there]

PHOEBE: Yeah, oh, Princess Leia and the gold bikini, every guy our age loved that.

[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey is watching Wheel of Fortune, the puzzle is showing _oun_ Rush_ore.]

[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey is watching Wheel of Fortune, the puzzle is showing _oun_  Rush_ore.]: Wheel of Fortune is  a television game show originally  devised  by  Merv  Griffin, and  which runs  in  local editions around the world. Mount Rushmore is well known for its 60-foot sculptured busts(雕刻半身像)of  Presidents  George  Washington,  Thomas  Jefferson,  Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to represent the first 150 years of American history.

[Chandler enters]

CHANDLER: Hey!

JOEY: Wheel!

CHANDLER: Of!

JOEY: Fortune! This guy is so stupid. (yelling) It’s Count Rushmore!!

count n.伯爵/Wheel of Fortune,Mount Rushmore：乔伊在电视上看他喜欢看的电视游戏节目《幸运之轮(Wheel of Fortune)》，里面有一个填宇游戏是猜“拉什莫尔山(Mount Rushmore)”，这是刻有四位美国总统巨大头像的国家公园。不学无术的乔伊还说电视里的人真笨，连“康特·拉什莫尔(Count Rushmore)”都答不上来。当钱德勒后来告诉他没有什么“康特·拉什莫尔”时，他还振振有词地和钱德勒说：“那在山上把自己的脸涂成和总统一样的那个人是谁?”显然，他居然认为拉什莫尔山上的人都是人扮的。可是，乔伊，哪里有那么大的人呢?还得一动不动?

CHANDLER: You know, you should really go on this show. All right, listen, I got three tickets to the Rangers tonight. What’d ya’ say?

JOEY: I say, ‘I am there!我一定要去‘ Cool! Aw, is Ross going to?

CHANDLER: No, Janice.

CHANDLER: You know, I may be way out on a limb here, but do you, do you, have a problem with Janice?

I may be way out on a limb here :limb可以解释为“人的肢干”或“树的分支”，我们知道树的分支离树的主干越远，它的承受力也就越小；如果你不幸正挂在枝头，也就是out on a limb, 那就表示你的处境不妙，有点孤立无援的意思。本句话可翻译为“我现在的处境有些不妙”。（way就是“有些、相当”的意思）。/You know, I may be way out on a limb here, but do you, do you, have a problem with Janice: out on a limb means to be in an exposed or dangerous position with little chance of retreat(v.撤退 逃离)

JOEY: No, Yeeees. God, how do I say this. (walks into the kitchen, Chandler follows closely, he turns around and gets startled). Oh, hi, you know that girl from the Greek restaurant with the hair (holds his hands up to signify she has big hair)?

signify vt.表示 意味/big hair爆炸头

CHANDLER: Ooh, that girl that I hate, eww, drives me crazy, eww, eww, oh!

just a lot to take令人难以忍受/Look, I don’t hate Janice, she’s-she’s just a lot to take, you know: To put up with; endure or tolerate

CHANDLER: Well, there you go.

JOEY: Oh, hey. Come on man, don’t look at me like that, she used to drive you nuts before too, remember?

CHANDLER: Well, I’m crazy about her now. I think this could be the real thing. Capital ‘R’! Capital ‘T’! (Joey stares at him) Don’t worry, those are the right letters.

capital adj.大写的

JOEY: Look, what do you want me to say?

CHANDLER: I want you to say that you like her!

JOEY: I can’t. It’s like this chemical thing, you know. Every time she starts laughing, I just wanna (grimaces and tenses up) pull my arm off just so that I can have something to throw at her.

tense up紧张

CHANDLER: Thanks for trying. (grabs the ticket and starts to leave) Oh, and by the way there is no Count Rushmore!

JOEY: Yeah, then-then who’s the guy that painted the faces on the mountain? (Chandler gives him a look like ‘You stupid idiot!’)

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Rachel and Ross are entering]

ROSS: How could you have told her?

RACHEL: Ross, I didn’t think it would that big of a deal.

ROSS: Look, that was supposed to be like a private, personal thing between us.

RACHEL: Were both of those Joey?
