• Monica: Big time!
• Rachel: Want a wedding dress? Hardly used.

讲解版

• 「 it's like」这种 be like sth./sb. 或者说 like 当介词的用法其实很常见, 表示像 XXX 一样, 比如这些地方也用到了:
  • S07E13 Mr. Geller: Your mother's right, I do look like an ass. //Monica 的爸爸把 Porsche 送给她的时候说的
  • S06E09 Ross: It tastes like feet! //大家在吃 Rachel 做的蛋糕
  • S01E17 Chandler: Say you never feel like a father. //待补
  • S01E22 Chandler: I don't sound like that. //Phoebe 拿 Chandler 说话的语气取笑
  • S08E10 Phoebe: Sometimes people may** seem like** jerks on the outside. //Phoebe 在教育小 Ben
  • S10E10 Monica: Hey, you smell like perfume and cigarettes. //待补
  • S01E24 Rachel: Ross, you're like my best friend. //Ross 表白之后, Rachel 的反应. 表示「就像是 XXX 一样」
  • S10E
    • Rachel: No one's been more like a sister to me.
    • Monica: I know what you mean. You're like a sister to me too.//Rachel 要去巴黎之前跟 Monica 告别
• 「big time」在这里可以理解为 very much
  • S03E15
    • Rachel: Ross, do you realize this is the first time in my life I'm doing something I actually care about. This is the first time in my life I'm doing something that I'm actually good at? I mean if you don't get that...
    • Ross: No, hey, I get that, ok, I get that big time.
  • S01E13 Mr. Tribbiani: Joe, your dad's in love big time. //Joey 老爸婚外恋
  • S04E04 Joey: Ah-ha-ha, you guys owe me big time. //欠我很大一个人情哦
  • S05E17
    • Monica: Ok, I freaked out a little.
    • Chandler: A little?! You freaked out big time! //Monica 对确认他们关系很害怕, 从两个人对 freak out 的修饰词也可以看出 big time 能当成 a little 的反义词 (a lot)
• 「hardly used」基本上没怎么用过, hardly = almost not, 但因为本身就带有 not 的意思了所以不能再跟 not 一起用, 同样的用法还出现在:
  • S03E20 Rachel: I actually, hardly notice it anymore. //Rachel 在 Bloomingdale 的老板 Joanna 向她打听 Chandler 的问题 (其实是 Rachel 理解错了)
  • S06E18 Phoebe: I can hardly smell it over here.
  • S10E12 Rachel: Well, look, it's hardly snowing anymore. //外面几乎不下雪了, 暗示 Phoebe 可以在露天举办婚礼
• 「I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves here.」 重点句
  • ahead of 表示在 XXX 前面
  • get ahead of 表示领先
  • get ahead of ourselves 可以理解成「想太多」
  • 同样的用法还出现在:
    • S05E15 Monica: You're a few steps ahead of us. //他们的恋情刚公开, 大家纷纷表示我要当 godfather 啥的
• 「wish me luck」祝我好运吧, 如果要表达这个意思不用 goodluck to me
• 「things」在老友记里很常见, 可以用来弱化语气, 这里相当于「那种东西」, 比如接在自己不熟悉的事物后面

纠音版

• 「like that」爆破音失去爆破
• 「feelings」DJ音标发音： [ˈfi:liŋ], 注意读得稍微长一点, 还要注意 l 在前半段和后半段都被用到
• 「Big time」爆破音失去爆破
• 「ahead of ourselves」连读成 aheada vor selves
• 「go to work」to 读成 d 之后就变成了 go d work
• 「not think about him all day」
  • t + t 爆破音失去爆破
  • think about 连读成 think-bout-im (h 被击穿连读)

  「h」被击穿连读: 即一个辅音与一个以"h"字母打头的单词结合时,[h]音被击穿,辅音与"h"后面的音连读.

  • him all 连读成 (shopping mart 的 mart) imall
• 「get up」 连读成 getup
• 「gonna go get」三个单词都是 g 开头, 注意不要弄混顺序
• 「one of」连起来读成 one nuf
• 「job things」爆破音失去爆破
