《老友记》经典口语第4讲

【场景一】

Central Perk,本次聊天主题是Chandler和Janice的分手问题。
Joey: Why do you have to break up with her? Be a man, just stop calling!
Phoebe:You know, if you want, I'll do it with you.
Chandler: Oh, thanks, but I think she'd feel like we're ganging up on her.
Phoebe: No, I mean you break up with Janice and I'll break up with Tony.

【场景二】

洗衣房成了Ross和Rachel第一次约会的地点(根据Chandler的分析,这就是一次date),此时的Rachel的确有些spoiled,居然不会洗衣服...
Ross: Rach, have you never done this before?
Rachel: Well, not myself, but I know other people that have. Ok, you caught me. I'm a laundry virgin.
Ross: Uh, well, don't worry, I'll use the gentle cycle. Ok, um, basically you wanna use one machine for all your whites...
