刚看完最后一集，之前又跟着电视回顾了以前的很多镜头，有点感慨

偶的英语一般般，口语更烂，一直想提高可是觉得没有非常好的方法，只好用这种笨方法学学他们本国人是怎么说的。照这样看真的很慢，偶又不时偷懒，最好大家都来讨论或者写下自己的学习体会，互相借鉴。

看了看了。。。上周刚刚看了一个录像带。。。还可以，谢谢。。。。

Monica: I mean, why should I let them meet him? I mean, I bring a guy home, and within five minutes they're all over him. I mean, they're like- coyotes, picking off the weak members of the herd.
over：在。。。之上。朋友们对她的男友诸多挑剔

Paula: Listen. As someone who's seen more than her fair share of bad beef, I'll tell you: that is not such a terrible thing. I mean, they're your friends, they're just looking out after you.
As someone who's seen more than her fair share of bad beef
Paula and Monica都是厨师，用坏牛肉来比喻不好的人也是很形象的说法，我见过的的坏人比你多多了
Monica: I know. I just wish that once, I'd bring a guy home that they actually liked.

Paula: Well, you do realise the odds of that happening are a little slimmer if they never get to meet the guy..

于是Monica让男友Alan来家
[Time lapse, Alan is leaving.]

Monica: (to Alan) Thanks. I'll call you tomorrow. (Alan exits, to all) Okay. Okay, let's let the Alan-bashing begin. Who's gonna take the first shot, hmm?
好了，你们可以开始bash了，bash：批评
(Silence.)

Monica: C'mon!

Ross: ...I'll go. Let's start with the way he kept picking at- no, I'm sorry, I can't do this, can't do this. We loved him.

All: Loved him! Yeah! He's great!
;)没想到大家喜欢他，真不容易啊牛人

Monica: Wait a minute! We're talking about someone that I'm going out with?

All: Yeah!

Rachel: And did you notice...? (She spreads her thumb and index finger.)

The Guys: (reluctantly) Yeah.

Joey: Know what was great? The way his smile was kinda crooked.
crooked: 不老实的
Phoebe: Yes, yes! Like the man in the shoe!

Ross: ...What shoe?

Phoebe: From the nursery rhyme. 'There was a crooked man, Who had a crooked smile, Who lived in a shoe, For a... while...'
nursery rhyme:童谣
(Dubious pause.)

Ross: ...So I think Alan will become the yardstick against which all future boyfriends will be measured.
yardstick:衡量标准
Rachel: What future boyfriends? Nono, I th- I think this could be, y'know, it.

Monica: Really!

Chandler: Oh, yeah. I'd marry him just for his David Hasselhof impression alone. You know I'm gonna be doing that at parties, right? (Does the impression)

David Hasselhoff, a handsome blue-eyed Baltimore native, is one of the most recognized faces on television throughout the world. Named one of "TV's Ten Most Powerful Stars" by TV Guide, and "Most Watched TV Star" by the Guinness Book of World Records, he is also one of the busiest. Hasselhoff is not only the star and an executive producer of the hit syndicated series Baywatch, but is also a director, an accomplished singer, and popular international recording artist. Moreover, he has added 'Broadway star' to his long list of achievements.


Ross: You know what I like most about him, though?

All: What?

Ross: The way he makes me feel about myself.
