202 Breast Milk

Joey穿着一身牛仔装走了进来。

CHANDLER: Howdy.
CHANDLER: 嗨.

JOEY: Gimme a box a juice. Well, they switched me over to Hombre.
JOEY: 给我一盒果汁。他们把我换到男装部去了。

CHANDLER: Well, maybe it's because of the way you're dressed.
CHANDLER: 可能那是因为你这样的打扮。

JOEY: Or maybe it's because this guy's doing so good they wanna put more people on it. You should see this guy, Chandler, he goes through two bottles a day.
JOEY: 或者是因为那家伙做的太好了,他们要增加人手。你真得去看看那家伙,他一天用掉两瓶。

CHANDLER: What do you care? You're an actor. This is your day job. This isn't supposed to mean anything to you.
CHANDLER: 你在乎什么?你是个演员。这是你的副业。你对你来说并不意味着什么。

JOEY: I know, but, I was the best, you know? I liked being the best. I don't know. Maybe I should just get outta the game. They need guys up in housewares to serve cheese.
JOEY: 我知道,但是我本来是最好的,你知道吗,我喜欢当最好的。可能我应该退隐江湖了,家庭用品那边缺一个切乳酪的。

CHANDLER: All right, say you do that. You know sooner or later somebody's gonna come along that slices a better cheddar. And then where're you gonna run?
CHANDLER: 好吧,就算你这么做了。 迟早有个人会出现切得比你好,你那时再逃到什么地方去呢?

JOEY: Yeah I guess you're right.
JOEY: 我想你是对的。

CHANDLER: You're damn right I'm right. I say you show this guy what you're made of. I say you stand your ground. I say you show him that you are the baddest hombre west of the lingerie.
CHANDLER: 我当然是对的。我说你要让那个家伙看看你不是好欺负的,我说你不要让步,我说你让那个家伙知道你是妇女内衣部最棒的牛仔。

JOEY: I'm gonna do it.
JOEY: 我要这么做了。

baddest=worst,原来是有bad->badder->baddest这一说的,原来我们小学时候就会用这个俚语了,可惜硬是被老师们封杀了。更可笑的是,有时候听到鬼佬说baddest,心里还得意着呢,鬼佬原来也犯这么低级的语法错误啊。以前一直被强调,by bike但是是on foot。可以明明就听到一个美国人说I'm going home by foot。学了十几年英语还不能跟鬼佬交流,这其中的原因还需要多讨论吗?
