播出時(shí)間:1994年11月17日
劇情簡(jiǎn)介:因?yàn)槿タ从涡兄谐?jí)大氣球飛上天,莫妮卡第一次置辦的感恩節(jié)大餐燒糊了。喬伊一不當(dāng)心就成了宣傳防止性病傳播海報(bào)男主角。羅斯不甘示弱唱歌給他未出世的寶寶聽。
[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel is confronting her boss, Terry.]
Rachel: Terry, I, I, I know that I haven't worked here very long, but I was wondering, do you think it would be possible if I got a $100 advance in my salary(預(yù)支100美元的薪水)?
Terry: An advance?
Rachel: It's so that I can spend Thanksgiving with my family. See, every year we go skiing in Vail, and normally my father pays for my ticket, but I sort of started the whole independence thing, you know, which is actually why I took this job.
我們都比較熟悉so...that句型,也比較熟悉to do sth so that+從句的形式,這里so that使用方式在口語中也比較常見,也是表達(dá)因果關(guān)系的聯(lián)詞。
Vail:劇中瑞秋攢錢想和家人一起去韋爾(Vail)度感恩節(jié)假。韋爾是美國最著名的兩個(gè)滑雪圣地之一,在丹佛市附近。它的特色是滑雪山坡離市區(qū)很近,從家中穿上滑雪鞋就可去滑雪。此外,它夏天還有音樂會(huì),因此成為美國富人云集的度假勝地。
Terry: Rachel, Rachel, sweetheart. You're a terrible, terrible waitress. Really, really awful.
Rachel: Ok, I, I hear what you're sayin'. I'm with you(我同意你). Um, but I, but I'm trying really hard. And I think I'm doing better. I really do. Does anybody need coffee? (everyone in the place raises their hand) Oh, look at that.

[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel is approaching a customer.]
Rachel: Excuse me, sir. Hi, you come in here all time. I was just wondering, do you think there's a possibility that you could give me an advance on my tips(預(yù)支小費(fèi))?
Guy: Huh?
Rachel: Ok, ok, that's fine. Fine. Hey, I'm sorry about that spill before. (picks up the tip he leaves) Only $98.50 to go.

本集故事就發(fā)生在Thanksgiving(感恩節(jié))的大背景下,這個(gè)節(jié)日始于1621年。那年秋天,遠(yuǎn)涉重洋來到美洲的英國移民,為了感謝上帝賜予的豐收,舉行了3天的狂歡活動(dòng)。從此,這一習(xí)俗就沿續(xù)下來,并逐漸風(fēng)行各地。1863年,美國總統(tǒng)林肯正式宣布感恩節(jié)為國定假日。屆時(shí),家家團(tuán)聚,舉國同慶,其盛大、熱烈的情形,不亞于中國人過春節(jié),在美國甚至比圣誕節(jié)還要隆重,這個(gè)節(jié)日里面,飯桌上火雞(Turkey)和南瓜餅(Pumpkin Pie)是必不可少的菜肴,因此又叫火雞節(jié),這些希望能夠在觀看的時(shí)候慢慢體會(huì)。
