《老友記》經典口語第4講

【場景一】

Central Perk,本次聊天主題是Chandler和Janice的分手問題。
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.

【場景二】

洗衣房成了Ross和Rachel第一次約會的地點(根據Chandler的分析,這就是一次date),此時的Rachel的確有些spoiled,居然不會洗衣服...
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...

【講解】

1. break up 分手

break up with sb 與某人分手

2. gang up 聯合起來對付，對抗，一般與on連用

3. I'm a laundry virgin 我是洗衣處女；我在洗衣方面是處女(直譯)

我不會洗衣服；我從沒洗過衣服

I've never done laundry before
I've never been through this before

4. gentle cycle 輕柔洗滌
