The One With the Monkey

110 猴子

罗斯收养一只叫马赛尔的猴子。

六人达成协议，在迎接新年的派对上不带伴侣。

在 Central Perk 咖啡馆唱歌时，菲比遇到两个争吵不休的男人，

经过交锋，她和其中一个开始约会，此人名叫大卫，是个科学家。

两人关系发展顺利，可他接到科研基金，需要赴明斯克工作三年。

大卫不知所措。

派对上除了罗斯，人人都忘了约定，带了伴侣参加；

菲比带大卫，乔伊带着他在百货店遇到的单亲妈妈桑迪；

瑞秋则带来提前飞回的保路；钱德寂寞难耐邀请了珍妮丝；

莫妮卡请来 fun 波比；

罗斯只有马赛尔作伴。

不过，午夜时分每一对都不欢而散。

Ross gets a monkey named Marcel.

Everyone makes a pact not to bring dates to their New Years Eve Party.

up dating one of them: David, Scientist Guy.

Their relationship develops well until he gets offered a grant to go to ,
and doesn’t know what to do.

Phoebe brings David, Joey brings Sandy, someone he met while working as an elf
in a department store;

Rachel plans to bring Paolo, who’s flying in earlier than expected;

snaps and asks Janice; Monica invites Fun Bobby;

Ross just brings Marcel.

However, no one ends up with their date (or monkey) at .

Closing Credits

[Scene: Monica and Rachel’s, time lapse.]

Ross: (Watching Marcel and talking to Rachel) I wanted this to work so much.
I mean I’m still in there, changing his diapers, pickin’ his fleas… but he’s
just phoning it in. Just so hard to accept the fact that something you love so
much doesn’t love you back.

diaper n.尿布/flea n.跳蚤/phone it in v.视作理所当然的 漫不经心(=take it for
granted)[eg:She sang the National Anthem, but she was just phoning it in as far
as I could tell]/phoning it in: 本意是以电话或电话留言的方式传递信息，
后来引申为“报告” 在后来引申为“应付差使，没有真正投入”的意思

Rachel: …I think that bitch cracked my tooth.
