到底是情圣啊! 最后Joey脸不红心不跳地回了一句：\怎么啦？难道还有什么明文规定不成？（What, like there's a rule or something?）。似乎该理解为难道有什么规定（在这种情况下禁止我追求她）么？
注意：“迷恋上……，爱上……”的几种说法： have the hots for someone/be stuck on someone/have one's cap set for someone/fall for (The door buzzer sounds and Chandler gets it.) buzzer n.蜂鸣器

Ross: Paul the Wine Guy, Paul?
Monica: Maybe. Joey: Wait. Your 'not a real date' tonight is with Paul the Wine Guy? Ross: He finally asked you out? Monica: Yes!
Chandler: Ooh, this is a Dear Diary moment.
this is a Dear Diary moment:西方人写日记一开头总爱写Dear Diary,...... Dear Diary moment也许是讲这个时刻不同寻常，有重要意义，值得写进日记的意思吧。这是一个值得纪念的日子/时刻”的意思。/ohh, this is a Dear Diary moment: when Americans keep the diary(n.日记), normally, the first words they write down must be “Dear Diary”, apparently, Chandler mocks Monica that she is so attracted to Paul with his stereotyped(adj.套用老调的) Chandler sarcastic tone.

Rachel说度蜜月到Aruba,为什么Ross提到 Big lizards.当Rach提到本想去Aruba时，Ross原本想说Rach不能去渡蜜月是太遗憾了，但突然意识到不应该说这些，急忙改口找些其他话题而提到Big lizards，并不是Ross对生物感兴趣。我认为到底Aruba有没有Big lizards无关紧要，只是Ross转换话题的一个借口而已

deadpan n.无表情的脸/Deadpan: a completely expressionless face

hang out here：呆在这儿。朋友之间相处，象FRIENDS他们一起喝咖啡，在MON家聊天之类的，都是hang out。像这样的词组就是所谓的:外国人不认为是俚语的俚语，它们非常通俗，老外每天都在说，而我们在字典上却查不到确切含义。因此，看FRIENDS是很有帮助的。
it' been kinda a long day：完成时态，因为RACH又逃婚，有被老爸骂，这一天过得很痛苦，所以也就很漫长 Ross: Okay, sure.
Joey: Hey Pheebs, you wanna help?

Mento：Mento是曼妥思糖(Mentos)的简称。在钱德勒和乔伊安慰离婚的罗斯时，钱德勒说他和乔伊与女孩的关系从来没有“长过嚼一颗曼妥思糖的时间(lasted longer than a Mento)”；以劝慰罗斯放开一点。 在<我与老友一起傻笑>一书中也有提到：Here Chandler made a comparison of the longevity of his and Joey's relationship to the lasting of Mento,emphasizing the shortness of their relationship with other girls,which acts kinda as a comfort to Ross.
Ross: You know what the scariest part最糟的部分 is? What if there's only one woman for everybody, y'know? I mean what if you get one woman- and that's it? Unfortunately in my case, there was only one woman- for her...
你们知道最可怕的是什么？要是每个人只能有一个女人？我是说，要是你找到一个女人（做另一半）－然后就不能在找了？不幸的是，我这件事里，那个一个女人是给“她”准备的.. Joey: What are you talking about? 'One woman'? That's like saying there's only one flavor口味 of ice cream for you.

Grab a spoon!
you were, like, what, eight是8岁的意思?

Oh...see... but Joanne loved Chachi! That's the difference! ：What Rachel said is funny is because Rachel here was sarcastic about her running away from altar.She was deeply moved by the true love between Joanne and Chachi which leads to a successful holy matrimony,while she and Barry had almost everything but love and that results in her disappointment in their matrimony.So she felt right to have escaped from a doomed marrige with a person she would never love.

Billy, don?t be a hero? mean anything to you? : A hit(n.歌曲) by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods in 1974, written about a young man named Billy who headed to Vietnam War and had to leave his lovely fiancée(n.<法>未婚妻).
