• Rachel: Oh God... well, it started about half an hour before the wedding. I was in this room where we were keeping all the presents, and I was looking at this gravy boat. This really gorgeous Limoges gravy boat. When all of a sudden I realize- (to the waitress that brought her coffee) Sweet'n Low, I realized, I realized that I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry! And then I got really freaked out, and that's when it hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr. Potato Head. You know, I mean, I always knew he looked familiar, but... Anyway, I just had to get out of there, and I started wondering 'Why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?'. (to Monica) So anyway I just didn't know where to go, and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart, but you're the only person I knew who lived here in the city.
• Monica: Who wasn't invited to the wedding.
• Rachel: Ooh, I was kinda hoping that wouldn't be an issue...

讲解版

• 「gravy boat」装肉汁的 (船型) 器皿, Friends 里还有两个用法:
  • S04E13 gravy train = 蹭吃蹭喝
    • Monica: Umm, excuse me, we switched apartments. You can't eat our food anymore, that-that gravy train had ended.
    • Joey: (Holding a turkey leg) There's gravy?
  • 本意为「肉汁」
• 「gorgeous」adj. 超级美的 / 超级赞的, 这个词还用在:
  • S01E12 Phoebe: He's gorgeous, and he's charming. //夸 Rachel 的意大利男友 Paolo 帅
  • S02E08 Chandler: Oh, no. Two women love me. They're both gorgeous and sexy. //Ross 在 Rachel 和 Julie 之间犹豫, Chandler 就贫嘴了一下
  • S01E08 Shelley: Hey gorgeous, how's it going? //用来当代词称呼对方, 说话的这个人是 Chandler 的女同事

  • S01E08 Mr. Geller: Not just restaurants, from our house. //Ross 的外婆经常喜欢从餐厅拿 Sweet'n Lows
  • 这里需要特别说明一下, 一般糖包在比如星巴克都是自助的, Rachel 这里一问显得没有独立生活过
• 「turn on」性奋, 当然也可以用来「打开 (电视)」, 同样的用法还出现在
  • S08E10 Chandler: Honey, I-I know you're in pain right now, but I'm a little turned on. //Monica 脱鞋的时候的呻吟声让 Chandler 有点 turn on

  • S05E19 Rachel: Ok, ok, ok, look, just don't freak out, but I kind of lost it.
