商志英语笔记

（04年第三篇阅读）When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. "I'm a good economic indicator," she says. "I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars." So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. "I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too" she says.

Even before Alan Greenspan's admission that America's red-hot economy is cooling, （总述）lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves.（分述一）From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. （分述二）For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. （分述三）Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year's pace. （分水岭）But don't sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy's long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.

（整个第二段讲了两句话，分水岭前后。）

Consumers say they're not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. 【（总述）Home prices are holding steady in most regions.（分述一）In Manhattan, "there's a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses," says broker Barbara Corcoran. （分述二）In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. （分述三）"Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three," says john Deadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker.】（分水岭）And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job.

（以上四个句子【】是一个意思：在大多数地区房价保持稳定。这一段的主旨：causes of consumers’ not being desperate in face of the slowdown.）

【（总述）Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. （分述一）Potential home buyers would cheer for lower interest rates. （分述二）Employers wouldn't mind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. （分述三）Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom.】Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan's hot new Alain Ducasse restaurant need to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting.

这是六个人的故事，从不服输而又有强烈控制欲的monica，未经世事的千金大小姐rachel，正直又专情的ross，幽默风趣的chandle，古怪迷人的phoebe，花心天真的joey——六个好友之间的情路坎坷，事业成败和生活中的喜怒哀乐，无时无刻不牵动着彼此的心，而正是正平凡的点点滴滴，却成为最令人感动与留恋的东西。 人物：1、瑞秋?格林(RACHEL GREENE)由珍妮佛?安妮斯顿(Jennifer Aniston)扮演 瑞秋是莫妮卡的高中同学，在与牙医未婚夫的婚礼上脱逃至莫妮卡处。 2、罗斯?盖勒(Ross Geller)由大卫?修蒙(David Schwimmer)扮演 罗斯为莫妮卡的哥哥，于高中时即暗恋妹妹的同学瑞秋，但始终不敢表白 3、莫妮卡?盖勒(Monica Geller)由科妮寇?克斯(Courteney Cox Arquette)扮演 莫妮卡是《六人行》的中心人物，其他五人可以说就是由她延伸出来的。 4、钱德?宾(Chandler Bing)由马修?派瑞(Matthew Perry)扮演 钱德为罗斯的大学同学，因而与罗斯、莫妮卡结识甚久 5、菲比?巴费(Phoebe Buffay)由丽莎?库卓(Lisa Kudrow)扮演 菲比为莫妮卡的旧室友，后因受不了其洁癖而搬走 6、乔伊?崔比昂尼(Joey Tribbiani)由麦特?雷布兰克(Matt Le Blanc)扮演 乔伊与钱德为共租公寓的室友，自然也是莫妮卡和瑞秋的邻居 《电影手册》评价： friends是一部彻底而纯粹的通俗剧的代表，它是一部具有十足纽约风格的情景喜剧。它形成了一个自己的世界，围绕着同一个屋檐下的，6个30上下的男女拉开了故事帷幕。他们在一起，倾听彼此的烦恼和快乐，一起成长和生活，而故事的平衡点，也是最常见不过——6个单身贵族最终将组成三对情侣（此点有错误），这一对称组合加强了全剧的轻松喜剧效果。Friends为我们解析了每天的平淡生活，普通情侣的爱恋或友情体现了逐步系列剧的力量。城市文明异类温柔的疯狂，却又怀有情窦初开的少女梦想，这个从普通生活中得来的灵感。一直推动系列剧向滑稽情节发展。Friends给我们解释了什么是快乐的痛苦，再多一点，我们又会把自己幽闭在这个神奇的世界里。 【Season 1 Index】 Episode 101 : The One Where Monica Gets A New Roommate (Pilot) Episode 102 : The One With The Sonogram At The End Episode 103 : The One With The Thumb Episode 104 : The One With George Stephanopoulos Episode 105 : The One With The East German Laundry Detergent Episode 106 : The One With The Butt Episode 107 : The One With The Blackout Episode 108 : The One Where Nana Dies Twice Episode 109 : The One Where Underdog Gets Away Episode 110 : The One With The Monkey Episode 111 : The One With Mrs. Bing Episode 112 : The One With The Dozen Lasagnas Episode 113 : The One With The Boobies Episode 114 : The One With The Candy Hearts Episode 115 : The One With The Stoned Guy Episode 116 : The One With Two Parts, Part 1

The One With All The Haste Written by: Wil Calhoun & Scott Silveri Transcribed by: Eric Aasen 419 忙中出错 对窗唱歌的男人、家禽的气味以及狭小的空间，都促使瑞秋和莫妮卡想赢回自己的公寓； 她们企图用尼克斯队本赛季的球票贿赂钱德和乔伊，但那两个家伙拒绝搬屋，于是她们另生一计……并再度失败。真是赔了夫人又折兵。 当乔伊和钱德去看球的时候，瑞秋和莫妮卡擅自把公寓换回来了。钱德大加反对，但莫妮卡和瑞秋提出条件，如果让我们在这里住，我们就接吻一分钟。两个男生觉得很值。 罗斯得到一副耳环。 菲比学着织毛衣。 罗斯痛恨和艾米丽聚少离多，想邀她同住……但他口误，向艾米丽求婚；而她答应了。 得知这个消息，大家都很震惊，尤其是瑞秋。 4.19 The One With All The Haste The singing man, the bird smell, and the lack of space drive Rachel and Monica to new attempts to get their old apartment back; when they fail to bribe Chandler and Joey with season Knicks tickets, they try making another bet... and lose again, so they have neither the tickets nor the apartment. However, while Joey and Chandler are at a game, Rachel and Monica switch apartments. Chandler objects but Monica and Rachel offer to kiss each other for a full minute if they can keep the apartment.

【101】The One Where Monica Gets a New Roommate antique’s NO.1 The One Where Monica Gets a New Roommate 补充介绍一下Friends的官方站点，Url是https://www.sodocs.net/doc/176279373.html,/friends, 如果有什么纠纷，相信那里是最权威的地方查阅了，另外，在世博英语https://www.sodocs.net/doc/176279373.html,发现了一个用Friends学习英语的系列，大家也可以去那里看看。 记得刚开始看时，有个问题总是让我困惑，即为什么每一集（episode）的名字都叫做"The One ****"，后来总算搞清楚了，原来它是the one with... 或者the one where,或者the one which...的意思，有时候甚至简写成TOW,呵呵，怎么样，明白了么？OK,让我们进入正题。 第一集是试播（Pilot），主要情节如下，瑞秋在教堂抛弃未婚夫巴利、逃婚到莫妮卡处。莫妮卡和调酒师(Wine Guy)保罗约会，此君伪装成离婚后一蹶不振的苦命人，靠博取同情来骗女人上床。罗斯婚姻失败，因为他的老婆被证实居然是同性恋，所以情绪低落。乔伊安慰他说，女性的种类与Ice Cream一样多，离婚未尝不是好事。大家一同看西班牙肥皂剧并信口瞎猜剧情。罗斯自高中起即爱慕瑞秋，此刻死灰复燃，提议和她约会，瑞秋答应了。 这一集绝对是整个Friedns的基石，所谓pilot就是如果播的不好，立马cancel的那种，所以无论剧情语言还有表演都非常精彩，这一集里面六个人都露面了，我立马就喜欢上了一脸坏笑的"幼兽"Joey(嘿嘿，一看就是我这种类型嘛)，憨憨厚厚的Ross, 未经世事的Rach, 直爽坦白的"商贩"Chandler,成熟而又略带神经质的Monica,以及童趣无邪的Phoebe…. 以下是我觉得有意思的一些词句，一一讲解。 1． Chandler :So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece?这是Chandler挖苦Paul的话，意思是：他有驼背么？有假发的驼子？ 2． Ross: I just feel like someone reached down my throat, grabbed my small intestine, pulled it out of my mouth and tied it around my neck..这段话是不是很熟悉呀？对，《大话西游》里面一开始孙猴子发狠就是这样子讲的哦，不知道是谁抄袭谁，意思不用我解释了吧，这里Ross用来形容妻子Carol是Lesbian并同他离婚后的心情。 3． Ross:Why does everyone keep fixating on that?这句话很实用，意思是为什么你们总是提起那件事呢？因为Joey又提到了Ross妻子Carol是lesbian的事儿，Ross非常恼火，于是冒出这样一句，我们平常生活中也可以用一下。Remember:fixate on sth. 4． Joey: Strip joint! C'mon, you're single! Have some hormones! "Strip joint"是脱衣舞场的意思，Joey意思是Ross现在虽然很受伤，但是正好恢复单身，可以去脱衣舞场去， "have some hormones"直译就是你要有一些男性荷尔蒙呀，翻译过来就是你该去（脱衣舞场）找乐子去。 5． Rachel: 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. 这句话里面有三个词组需要解释，第一个是turn on,也就是打开的意思，比如turn on the radio,这里是指让某人更兴奋激动的意思，想一想，平时在路上走，这时候有个sexy美女路过，你就可以说:wow,the gal really turns me on.第二个是freak out,这个词组很重要，几乎在每集都能听到，频率高的吓人，看来口语中很实用，在论坛上我看到以下几种解释，觉得不错，a.have an extreme reaction to sth b.act abnormally (under the influence of drugs) c.make sb feel extreme plaesure or unease，也就是表达焦躁害怕不安等情绪的意思。第三个词组是Gravy Boat,这是一个调味汁瓶酱油瓶，常常下面还垫着一个小碟子，非常精美的，所以Rach才说它给她带来的兴奋比Barry还大。 6． Joey: You got screwed.这句话值得记住，意思是你受骗了。 7． Paul: No, it's, it's more of a fifth date kinda revelation.这句语法结构不

商志英语笔记

（04年第三篇阅读）When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. "I'm a good economic indicator," she says. "I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars." So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. "I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too" she says. Even before Alan Greenspan's admission that America's red-hot economy is cooling, （总述）lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves.（分述一）From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. （分述二）For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. （分述三）Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year's pace. （分水岭）But don't sound any alarms just yet.
