nursery rhyme n.儿歌 童谣
There was a crooked man
莫尼卡的男友阿兰受到了大家的好评，乔伊说他的笑容扭曲得很可爱。菲比就引用了一段儿歌，说：“曾经有一个扭曲的人(There
was a crooked
man)，他有一个扭曲的笑容，他生活在一只鞋子里……”事实上，这是西方流传已广的儿歌《鹅妈妈歌谣》，不过，菲比
将引文全部引错了，原文是“走在一条一英里(Mile)长的扭曲道路上”，而不是“扭曲的笑容(Smile)”；歌中人生活在“扭曲的小屋子里”，而不是生活在鞋子里。所以大家听菲比这么一说都有点困惑。但这可能不是菲比的错，或许是菲比的妈妈一开始就教错了，还记得菲比曾经以为某部关于狗的片子真的是喜剧收场吗
