Oh, y’know what?

But it’s absolutely your decision. (Gets up.) More tea?Ross: Yeah sure.Emily: Earl Grey?Ross: Huh? Yeah, fine, invite whoever you want.5. go into labour 分娩 Rachel决定不去Ross的婚礼，给自己找了一个借口就是照顾即将分娩的Phoebe. 她说 Y’know she’s gonna be pretty big by then, and she needs someone to help her tie her shoes; drive her to the hospital in case she goes into labour.go into labour 分娩，这是一个委婉语，例如怀孕的委婉语就是 in her family wayMonica: (seeing the decision) Nooooo. You’re really not going?Rachel: Yeah. It’s just gonna be too hard. Y’know? I mean, it’s Ross. How can I watch him get married? Y’know it’s just, it’s for the best, y’know it is, it’s… Y’know, plus, somebody’s got to stay here with Phoebe!

(He leaves.)4. loose cannon 不顾后果的人 Joey说Charlton是一个loose cannon. loose cannon 我行我素,不顾后果的人     loose是松散的意思，而cannon是指大炮。 Loose cannon的来历是几百年前当人们在海上作战时，他们往往在船上放好些大炮，每一座大炮放在一个带四个轮子的平台上。 在战争间隙的时候，船员们用很粗的绳子把这些大炮栓住，不让它们随便移动。可是，当风暴来临，这些绳子在风暴的冲击下断了以后，大炮就会在船甲板上到处滚动，会把那些不幸就在大炮旁边的船员轧死，这比真正的敌人还要危险。      现在， loose cannon的意思和打仗并没有什么关系。人们把loose cannon用来指一个失去控制、无视权威、打破常轨的人，这种人往往会伤害和他自己站在一边的人。例如，有些美国政府官员在重大问题上擅自采取行动，也不向总统汇报。国会议员就把这些人称为loose cannon。Joey: How ya doin’?Charlton Heston: Who in the hell are you?Joey: I guess you wouldn’t believe me if I said I was Kurt Douglas, huh?Charlton Heston: Put some pants on kid so I can kick your butt.Joey: No-no-no, no, no, wait. You see, I’m an actor, Joey Tribbiani, I’m doing a scene with you today, and well, I stink.Charlton Heston: (shocked) You’re in this picture?Joey: Yeah-yeah, I’m one of the cops that won’t work with you ‘cause you a loose cannon. Anyway, look, I’m really sorry, but I stink!5. lost cause 败局已定的事情 Chandler觉得自己不可能到达第三阶段，所以他说Phase Three is a lost cause. Lost cause 是指败局已定的事情。They do not want to expend energy in what, to them, is a lost cause.他们不想把精力投到他们认为注定不会成功的事中去。Chandler: Okay, look, I’m gonna have to ask you all to leave.Monica: Come on! Chandler!Chandler: Look, forget it. We tried, but Phase Three is a lost cause, Okay? Those strippers were insanely hot, and I couldn’t picture myself with any of them. (Sits back in disgust.)

That doesn’t make me sound too good does it?Rachel: I don’t even know how I would go about it.Joey: Oh-oh-oh-oh, how I do it is, I look a woman up and down and say,"Hey, how you doin’?"Phoebe: Oh, please! Joey: (to Phoebe) Hey, how you doin’?6. pan out 有结果，成功 Chandler向Ross和Joey讲明自己判断女友出轨的理论后，Joey说There’s a lot of theories that didn’t pan out。pan out 有结果，成功例句：You can’t always expect things to pan out each time, can you? 你不能期望事情总是一帆风顺的呀！Script:Joey: Dude, tell me she actually told you this.Chandler: She did not have to tell me, I saw the play, and there was no heat.
