Sara 《听老友记学地道美语》课程 5 & 6 出自 S01E01 (Ross 第一次"约" Rachel)

• Ross: So Rachel, what're you, uh... what're you up to tonight?
• Rachel: Well, I was kinda supposed to be headed for Aruba on my honeymoon, so nothing!
• Ross: Right, you're not even getting your honeymoon, God.. No, no, although, Aruba, this time of year... talk about your- (thinks) -big lizards... Anyway, if you don't feel like being alone tonight, Joey and Chandler are coming over to help me put together my new furniture.
• Chandler: Yes, and we're very excited about it.
• Rachel: Well thanks, but I think I'm just gonna hang out here tonight. It's been a long day.

讲解版

• 「What (are) you up to?」你待会儿要干什么，其中「(be) up to」=「doing」，做某事 / 忙什么，老外很喜欢用. 同样用法还出现在:
  • S01E02 Barry：What have you been up to? 你最近在干什么 //Rachel 去还订婚戒指
  • S02E05 Chandler：What have you been up to? 你最近在干什么 //Chandler 在跟一个女孩聊天
  • S08E09 Ross：What are you up to? //Ross 在问一个多年没见的老同学 Will 你最近在干什么
  • S09E03 Phoebe：So what are you up to these days? //Phoebe 第一次见到她老公 Mike
  • S09E11 Rachel：What have you been up to? //Rachel 生完孩子回来公司，然后问同事
  • S09E14 Monica：What are you up to? //Rachel 让 Monica 带带宝宝，Monica 问她要去干嘛
  • S09E17 Ross：Let everyone know what you up to. //Ross 在介绍 Facebook 的用处
• 「kind of / kinda」出镜率极高的单词, 每集都有 5 个以上, 表示「有一点」
• 「be suppose to do」应该做某事
• 「be headed for」=「going for」去 (somewhere)
• 「Aruba」这个 Barry 每次出场 (度蜜月) 都要去这个地方:
  • S01E02 Barry：Oh, I, uh- I went to Aruba. //Rachel 问 Barry「Why are- why are you so tanned?」, 他说自己跟伴娘 Mindy 去了 Aruba
  • S01E20 Barry：We can, we can go to Aruba! //Barry
  • S01E20 Barry：We'll go back to Aruba. //Rachel 跟 Mindy 一起去找 Barry 问清楚他到底喜欢谁, 他 (看 Rachel 没戏, 就) 对 Mindy 说
  • S01E20 Rachel：What is it with you and Aruba? Do you have a deal with the airlines? //Rachel 无情地吐槽
  • Aruba 有世界上一半种类的 big lizards (大蜥蜴), 所以 Ross 会说「Aruba, this time of year.talk about your- (thinks) -big lizards.」
• 「on the honeymoon」度蜜月, 介词用「on」
• 聊天聊不下去的时候可以用「anyway」
• 「feel like doing sth.」=「want to do sth.」想做某事
• 「alone」仅仅表示一个人的状态, 「lonely」则不仅是指「alone」, 同时还有因为 alone 而感觉「sad」
• 「put together」组装
• 「furniture」家具
• 「hang out」(室内室外都可以的) 待着
• 「long day」(X 天一天) 过得很长, 痛苦的时光会过得很慢, 快乐的时光总是很短暂, 因此可以这么表达

纠音版, 本节课重点: 弱读 / 缩读

• 「(Are) You」→「You」 / 「Y」(常见于非句首, 发音为 ya), 常见例句:
  • What (are) you / y doing?
  • Where (are) you / y going?
  • Who (are) you / y talking to?
  • Why (are) you / y doing that?
  • (Are) You having fun?
  • (Are) You OK / all right?
• 「(be) supposed to be」里「supposed」末尾的 d 是爆破音, 遇到辅音不完全失去爆破, 最终合起来读成 suppose be
• 「time of」连读成 timer've
• 「don't feel like」爆破音失去爆破
• 「come over to」读成 com nou ver d, 特别要注意口语中「to」常常弱读成 d
  • 「go to work」读成 go d work
  • 「go to school」读成 go d school
  • 「go to bed」读成 go d bed
  • 「go to sleep」读成 go d sleep
• 「help me」爆破音失去爆破
• 「put together」爆破音失去爆破
• 「gonna」读成 gene, 音调在此句中弱下来, 强调的重点为后面的单词「hang out」
• 「hang out」读成 han nout, 音调在此句中提上来, 重点强调
• 「It's been a」并不用长读, 读成 It's bin na, 「been」的声音放小, 强调的重点为后面的「long day」
