【場(chǎng)景一】

New year is coming~,大家都沒有合適的伴侶共度新年,于是Chandler提議6個(gè)人不允許單獨(dú)活動(dòng),而是一起愉快地度過新年,然而他卻……

Chandler: Yeah, 'cause I already asked Janice(估計(jì)沒有人不認(rèn)識(shí)這位MM吧?).
Monica: What?!
Ross: Come on, this was a pact! This was your pact!
Chandler: I snapped, okay? I couldn't handle the pressure and I snapped.
Monica: Yeah, but Janice? That-that was like the worst breakup in history!
Chandler: I'm not saying it was a good idea, I'm saying I snapped!

【場(chǎng)景二】

新年party在Monica的公寓舉行,Ross帶著Marcel(那只有著一張白色小臉的可愛猴子)來湊熱鬧,Monica可是一點(diǎn)兒都不喜歡它...

Ross: Par~~~ty!
Monica: That thing is not coming in here.
Ross: 'That thing'? This is how you greet guests at a party? Let me ask you something, if I showed up here with my new girlfriend, she wouldn't be welcome in your home?
Monica: I'm guessing your new girlfriend wouldn't urinate on my coffee table.
Ross: Okay. He was more embarrassed about that than anyone. Okay? And for him to have the courage to walk back in here like nothing happened...
Monica: Alright. Just keep him away from me.
Ross: Thank you... Come on, Marcel, what do say you and I do a little mingling? (Marcel迅速扔下Ross跑開了) Alright, I'll catch up with you later.

【講解】

1. pact n. 契約，約定，合同

Chandler:I say this year, no dates,we make a pact.Just the six of us- dinner.

2. snap—>snapped v. 猛地吸住，突然折斷，使劈啪地晌，猛咬； n. 猛咬，突然折斷，劈啪聲 adj. 突然的

snapshot 快照，也是來源于snap的突然、猛然之意

在這里，snapped字面的意思是“折斷了”應(yīng)理解為“頂不住壓力了，無法承受了，改主意了，毀約了”之類的意思。

3. mingle—>mingling v. 混合，結(jié)合，交往，往來,與他人一起加入或參加

do a little mingling在這里意思是：融入現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的氣氛，加入在場(chǎng)的人的活動(dòng)中，與大家交流，來往...
