you do it.

Ross: (picking up a book) Hey, hey, Yertle the Turtle. A classic.

Yertle the Turtle: Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories is a picture book
collection of three stories
by Dr. Seuss. It was first published by Random
House Books on April 12, 1958, and is written primarily in
anapestic(adj.抑抑扬格的) tetrameter(n.四音步句). The story “Yertle the Turtle,”
among Seuss’s most notable, is widely recognized as condemning fascism and
absolute power, and the despotic(adj.专制的) ruler Yertle is meant to
parallel
Adolf Hitler/剧中罗斯看的一本书——经典童话作品《乌龟大王亚尔特》Yertle
the Turtle 是知名儿童小说家苏斯博士(Dr.
Seuss)的名著。是讲海龟王 Yertle 让海龟们堆起来成它的王座,结果最后倒下来的故事。乌龟大王亚特尔為了掌握更大的權柄,统治更宽阔的领土,于是他命令属下的乌龟叠罗汉,将他给抬高,他以为只要他极目所及之处,尽是他的领土。所以,他不断的想要超越他人,也因此,叠罗汉越叠越高。最后,他更妄想超越月亮,想不到因低曾的一只乌龟打了一个喷嚏,整个乌龟王国就全盘瓦解了,而跌得最重的正是乌龟大王亚尔特,亚尔特正是苏斯博士对希特勒的讽刺。

Susan: Actually, I’m reading it to the baby.

Ross: The uh, the baby that hasn’t been born yet? Wouldn’t that mean
you’re… crazy?

Susan: What, you don’t think they can hear sounds in there?

Ross: You’re not serious, I mean, you really… you really talk to it?

Susan: Yeah, all the time. I want the baby to know my voice.

Susan: Yeah, yeah, all the time.

Ross: Really?

Susan: But um, we just refer to you as Bobo the Sperm Guy.

Bobo the Sperm Guy:man who is used for sexual purposes only.(can also be used
to identify an anonymous sperm donor)

[Scene: Monica and Rachel’s, everyone is there but Rachel.]

Ross: Look, if she’s talking to it, I just think that I should get some
belly time too. Not that I believe any of this

belly n.腹部/belly-time 胎教时间/“Not that I believe any of
this”,这是一个强调句型,相当于 I don’t belive any of
this,Ross 一方面不想让 Susan 一个人独享同胎儿亲近的机会,另一方面又非着重强调他是个 PHD 的身份,不相信这一套。在托福考试听力部分也常有这种用法。比如 M:I
hear the hocky game was packed. W:Not an empty seat in the house!Just standing
room
only.第一个人说:“我听说曲棍球比赛爆满了。第二个人回答说:“场地里没有空位置了,只有站的地方。”,这里第二个人说话时也把 Not
着重强调。

Phoebe: Oh, I believe it. I think the baby can totally hear everything. I
can show you. Look, this will seem a little weird, but you put your head inside
this turkey, and then we’ll all talk, and you’ll hear everything we say.

very much like to butter your head.

Rachel: No, not even close. Forget Vail, forget seeing my family, forget

Monica: (insistently) No, here’s your mail.

Rachel: Thanks, you can just put it on the table.

feast, you got your tomato soup, your grilled cheese fixin’s, and your
family-size bag of Funyuns.

grill v.烧 烤/fixing n.调料/grilled cheese fixing n.烤起司配料/family-size
adj.适合(足够)全家用的/Funyuns is the brand name of an onion-flavored corn
chip
introduced in 1969. The ‘chips’ are ring-shaped, like onion rings. They
are a product of the Frito-Lay Company. They were named “Funyuns” by professor
and copyrighter, Jim Albright, after it was disovered that the first choice of
name for the product, “OnYums” had already been taken. Funyuns are deep-fried
rings
of enriched corn meal-based material that are coated(v.涂上一层) with
pungent, pale yellowish, onion-flavored powder.In 2006, the “window cutout”
showing the actual product inside the bag was replaced by a photograph of the
product, falling in line with the design of the rest of Frito-Lay’s product
line. The big-bag Funyuns was one of the last Frito-Lay brands to completely
phase out(v.逐步淘汰) the “window cutout”.
1969 年百事可乐的菲多利推出的 Funyuns 牌洋葱味小食品。需要指出的是,百事并不只是生产饮料,在 69 年就提出了。“你们的生活丰富多彩,百事的产品同样丰富多彩”的广告主题。这点国内的朋友可以了解的要少一些。Chandler 因为父母在感恩节那天宣布离婚,从此之后 Chandler 就对所有的宗教色彩节日反感,于是 Monica 给他装了西红柿汤、烤奶酪以及一些小食品给他。

Rachel: Wait, wait, , this is what you’re havin’ for Thanksgiving dinner?
What, what, what is it with you and this holiday?

: All right, I’m nine years old.

: Ok, who wants light cheese, and who wants dark cheese?

Ross: I don’t even wanna know about the dark cheese.

Monica: (holding sandwich) Does anybody wanna split this with me?

Joey: Oh, I will.

Phoebe: Ooh, you guys have to make a wish.

Monica: Make a wish?

Phoebe: Come on, you know, Thanksgiving. Ooh, you got the bigger half.
What’d you wish for?

Joey: The bigger half.

: I’d like to propose a toast. Little toast here, ding ding. I know this
isn’t the kind of Thanksgiving that all of you all planned, but for me, this has
been really great, you know, I think because it didn’t involve divorce or
projectile vomiting. Anyway, I was just thinking, I mean, if you’d gone to Vail,
and if you guys’d been with your family, if you didn’t have syphilis and stuff,
we wouldn’t be all together, you know? So I guess what I’m trying to say is that
I’m very thankful that all of your Thanksgivings sucked.
