That's how she paid for all my dance—karate lessons.6. doodle 乱画，打发时间 Rachel被Ross画了满脸，说自己是一个human doodle. Doodle 有两层含义，一是漫不经心的乱写乱画，二是闲逛，打发时间Rachel: What?!

Okay! (Picks up a blue sweater.) Okay, here's something, here's something blue and new.Monica: You're so efficient. I love you!Chandler: Let's go! (Starts to leave.)Monica: No-no-no!

1. push one's buttons 故意的激怒某人 Phoebe对Ross生气了，但其实她自己也不知道是为什。她说Ross的时候用了这样一句话That guy can push my buttons.Push(press) one's buttons 故意的激怒惹恼某人。 Don't push my buttons. 你可别惹我「buttons」是表示「惹某人生氣的按鈕」，也就是你明明知道做什麼、說什麼會讓某人生氣，又偏偏去做、去說；而且，這些事情可能別人覺得沒什麼，但對這個人而言就是挑釁的行為。因為這個慣用語有「A 了解 B 的情緒弱點」的意義，所以也經常用「A really knows how to push B's buttons.」的方式來表達。Phoebe: (after he's gone) I am so sorry you got caught in the middle of that. I didn't mean to be so out there. I am furious with him!Chandler: Wow umm, calm down.Phoebe: I'm trying, but man that guy can push my buttons!Monica: Why are so mad at him?Phoebe: Look, I don't wanna talk about it.

Hey, you've traveled a lot right?Phoebe: Yeah, I've been around.3. tic tac toe 三连棋游戏 Phoebe给Joey规划去维加斯的路线，南北两条路都不行，Phoebe给出了奇怪的原因。说路上有一只会玩tic-tac-toe的小鸡。Tic tac toe 三连棋游戏，两人轮流在一有九格方盘上划加字或圆圈, 谁先把三个同一记号排成横线、直线、斜线, 即是胜者。4. back to square one 回到原点 同一个对话，按照Phoebe说的，Joey还是不知道该走哪条路，所以说back to square one. Square one 原点，起点。back to square one 回到原点，重新开始。Joey: Okay, so-so which route should I take the northern route or the southern route?Phoebe: Ooh, if you take the northern route there's a man in Illinois with a beard of bees. Joey: Great! Problem solved!Phoebe: But on the southern route there's a chicken that plays tic-tac-toe.Joey: Well, back to square one.5. heinie 屁股 在这集里Phoebe和Ross算是杠上了，Phoebe骂Ross fat ass, 事后道歉时说了这样一句话。You have a tiny sweet heinie.

1. out on a limb 处于危险境地 Ross在许下新年愿望的时候说I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no divorces in '99!Out on a limb 是一个实用的短语，在美国口语中经常出现，意思是“处于危险的境地”，“脆弱”。limb在这里并非指“肢体”，而是“树枝”（tree branches），当你on a limb（爬到树枝之上），树枝随时可能折断，处境的危险不言而喻。该短语其实属于一种比喻性表达。实际上，go out on a limb在日常用法中逐渐衍生出一种新的含义，那就是“taking chances”（冒险）所以这里Ross的意思就是我就大胆地许下这个愿望，99年不再离婚。Ross: Y'know what? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no divorces in '99!Rachel: But your divorce isn't even final yet.Ross: Just the one divorce in '99! Y'know what, I am gonna be happy this year.

1. a.k.a 也叫做 老友记第100集有两个名字The One with the Triplet aka The One Hundredth a.k.a的意思是also known as 翻译成“也叫做”2. in good hands 在可靠人的手里 Phoebe的医生说You are in good hands. 你会被照顾得很好 in good hands 在可靠的人手里Ross: Hello.Dr. Harad: Hi! Phoebe, I'm Dr. Harad, I'm going to be delivering your babies. I want you to know, you're gonna be in good hands. I've been doing this for a long time. I'll be back in a minute to do your internal, in the meantime, just relax because everything here looks great. And also, I love Fonzie. 3. Fonzie的典故 菲比的医生反复提到Fonzie.看到网上也有好多人在问这个关于Fonzie的问题,看来有必要解释一下。Fonzie又叫作Fonz，他是1974-1984年播出的著名情景喜剧中的一个主要角色。Fonzie在剧中总是穿着皮夹克，骑着摩托车。他有着特定的招牌动作和语言–打着响指, 嘴里说到“Ayyyy”，然后翘起大拇指。剧中Fonzie还有一个特点，就是他深受女孩子们的喜欢。所有这些使得这个角色成为了Cool的代名词。在另一个衍生剧中Fonzie和Mork是对头所以后来Rachel说她喜欢Mork，对医生是莫大的打击。因为美国人对这些角色烂熟于心，所以能够达到很好的喜剧效果。就像郭德纲说于谦的媳妇长的像李逵我们会笑一样，外国人就不会觉得好笑了。4. steal one's thunder 抢风头 Joey因为肾结石的原因时不时也喊疼，Phoebe认为他这是在抢自己的风头，于是对弟弟说he is stealing my thunder. steal one's thunder 不是抢雷声而是抢某人的风头Ross: Hey, where are Monica and Rachel anyway?Joey: Oh, a couple of nurses asked them out.

I thought it was really sweet at first, but now I think he's just trying to steal my thunder.5. goof around 不务正业，随便玩玩 因为吃醋Monica和医院的男护士聊天， Chandler赌气说和Monica只是goof around. goof around 本意是不务正业，消磨时间，在感情上上指不认真，随便玩玩Chandler: (spotting her) Oh-hey-hey-hey! There you are!Monica: Umm, listen there's something I think you should know.Chandler: Oh, is this about you-you dating the nurse? Yeah, Joey already told me, and I am so-so fine. I mean, you and I we're just, y'know, we're nothing, we're goofin' around.Monica: Umm, actually I was about to tell you that I was, I was going to get out of it, but hey, if we're just goofing around then uh, maybe I will go out with him.Chandler: Fine! Maybe I will too6. feel sb out 试探，摸清 菲比舍不得刚出生的孩子让瑞秋去探探弟弟的口风，看他们是否愿意分一个孩子给她。菲比说feel them out. Feel sb out, 试探出，摸清Rachel: Okay, Phoebe, honey, you gotta be kidding. I mean, you know you cannot keep one of these babies!Phoebe: Why not?! Maybe I can, you don't know!Rachel: Yes! Yes! Yes, I do! I do know! Frank and Alice are gonna want to keep all of their children!Phoebe: Maybe not! Y'know? Seriously, three babies are a handful maybe they're y'know, looking for a chance to unload one of them. Listen, I-I hate to miss an opportunity just because I didn't ask! Y'know?Rachel: Phoebe, no! This is, this is insane.Phoebe: Oh, just ask him!Rachel: Me?!Phoebe: I can't ask him! Do you have any idea how inappropriate that would be?! All I'm saying is just talk to Frank. Okay? Just, y'know, feel him out!Rachel: No! Forget it! I am not gonna ask Frank to give you one of his kids!!Phoebe: You're right.(There's an awkward silence then suddenly Phoebe gets an idea.)Phoebe: Tell him it's for you.7. on a clock 赶时间 Phoebe催问Rachel有没有跟弟弟谈分给她一个孩子的事情，听到Rachel还没有谈，就说I am kind of on a clock here. On a clock 指时间有限，时间在流逝Phoebe: (To Rachel) So did you ask him?Rachel: No, I haven't had a chance to be alone with him yet.Phoebe: Well, I'm kinda on a clock here.Dr. Harad: (laughing) Oh Fonzie.Rachel: Y'know who I always liked? Mork.8. girlie 女孩子气的，女性化的 Chandler吃醋Monica跟男护士约会于是戏弄男护士girlie。girlie本意是女性化的，女孩子气的，但用来形容男性意思和sissy一样，娘娘腔。

I felt like such an idiot! I mean, it's all my fault! And you know why, because I make very bad decisions.Chandler: Oh that's not true.Rachel: Yes it is! It is true! I went, I went after Ross in stupid London.Phoebe: London is stupid! Stupid!4. bum sb out 使某人烦恼 听到朋友们老是聊伦敦的事情，Phoebe不高兴了说bum me out 烦死我了。 bum sb out 使某人烦恼，使某人恼火Phoebe: (entering) Hey!Rachel: Hey!Joey: Hey, Pheebs!Monica: We got out pictures back from London. (Shows her one.) Here's all of us at the Tower of London.Phoebe: (Grabs the pictures) Oh! Here we all are! Yeah, there's Ross and Joey and you and me. (She picks up a magic marker and draws herself in. Monica can't watch.)Chandler: All right, y'know what, we've been talking about London too much haven't we?Phoebe: No. I'm sorry. It's just 'cause I couldn't be there.

I make your decisions and I say, "I'm not fired!" Ha!Rachel: Well… 7. roll the bones 瞎聊，闲扯 老友们要一起去Atlantic City，和拉斯维加斯齐名的赌场城市。大家喊着let's roll some bones.
