Monica: What you guys don’t understand is, for us, kissing is as important
as any part of it.
Joey: Yeah, right!…….Y’serious?
Phoebe: Oh, yeah!
Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.
Everything you need to know is in that first kiss：
几个好朋友在一起聊性的话题，Monica 说男人不懂接吻的重要性，Joey 根本不屑一顾，于是 Rachel 说了这样一句话，意思是：初吻可以让你明白一切。
Monica: Absolutely.
: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y’know?
I mean it’s like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd
comes out.
sit through v. 耐着性子看完(或听完)/Stand-up comedy is a style of comedy where
the performer speaks directly to the audience, with the absence of the
theatrical fourth wall. A person who performs stand-up comedy is known as a
stand-up comic, stand-up comedian or more informally stand up. It is usually
performed by a single comedian, and usually with the aid of a microphone. The
comedian usually recites a fast-paced succession of humorous stories, short
jokes (called “bits”), and one-liners(n.俏皮话), which comprises what is
typically called a monologue(n.独角戏), routine or act. Some stand-up comedians
use props(n.小道具), music or magic tricks in their acts. Stand-up comedy is
often performed in comedy clubs, bars, colleges and theaters. However, there is
no real restriction on where it can be performed. Many smaller venues hold
“open mic” events, where amateur comedians can perform comedy before a live
audience, offering a way for the performers to hone(v.磨练) their craft and
possibly break into the business. In North America, many comedy clubs feature
the now-iconic brick wall as the backdrop(n.背景幕) for stand-up performances.
Pink Floyd are an English rock band that initially earned recognition for
their psychedelic(adj.迷幻的) rock music, and, as they evolved, for their
progressive(adj.革新的) rock music. They are known for
philosophical(adj.哲学的) lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art,
and elaborate live shows. One of rock music’s most successful acts, the group
has sold over 200 million albums worldwide and an estimated 73.5 million albums
in the alone.
Ross: Yeah, and it’s not that we don’t like the comedian, it’s that…
that’s not why we bought the ticket.
: The problem is, though, after the concert’s over, no matter how great the
show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again, y’know? I mean,
we’re in the car, we’re fighting traffic… basically just trying to stay awake.
Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next
time you’re gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.
word of advice 建议如下
Joey: (pause)….Are we still talking about sex?

他在外头用棍子痛击其他女人的脑袋，而她却坐在家里想方设法地让野象闻到地毯的味道。这话什么意思？有点让人莫名其妙。好像是想说两口子不合拍，但是感觉这样理解理由也不是很充分，为什么打的是 other
women，而不是 other men。茫然……
这里该是 Masha 和 Ross 调侃的一段话，没有什么特殊含义，可是 Ross 却非常较劲儿，居然真的和 Masha 讨论起来究竟那些 Mannequin 所代表的原始人的烦恼起来，还说他们应该真正担心的是冰河世纪的到来……真不接风情，还好这时候 Carol 来了，解了 Masha 的围。
Ross: Marsha, these are cave people. Okay? They have issues like ‘Gee, that
glacier’s getting kinda close.’ See?
gee int.惊讶时所发声音/glacier n.冰川 冰河

lack of language had imposed on the child, who blossomed as she learned to
communicate, are staples of American folklore(n.民间传说). What is less well
known is how Keller’s life developed after she completed her education: she
became a radical campaigner for workers’ rights and an advocate for many other
progressive causes.

functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of space operations; its
purpose was to perform test flights in the atmosphere.Originally, had been
intended to be refitted(v.改装) for orbital flight, which would have made it
the second space shuttle[n.(往返于地球和太空站之间运载人和物资的)航天飞机] to
fly after . However, during the construction of , details of the final design
changed, particularly with regard to the weight of the fuselage(n.机身) and
wings. Refitting for flight would have involved dismantling(v.拆除) the
orbiter(n.人造卫星) and returning the sections to subcontractors(n. 分包者)
across the country. As this was an expensive proposition, it was determined to
be less costly to build Challenger around a body frame (“STA-099”) that had
been created as a test article. Similarly, was considered for refit to replace
Challenger after the latter was destroyed, but Endeavour was built from
structural spares instead.
