Joey: What's a matter, Ross? What you're nervous about your speech?

Ross: No! Do you wanna hear it?

Joey: Am I in it?

Ross: Uh, huh. Yeah, right after I thank everyone for giving money to the museum, I sing a song about the wonder that is Joey.

Phoebe: Hello.

Ross: Hey!

Joey: Whoa!

Ross: Wow, hello! You look great!

Phoebe: Thank you! I know, though.

Ross: You see this, this is a person who is ready to go. Phoebe you, oh, you are my star.

Phoebe: Ohh, well, you're my lucky penny .

Chandler: All right, I took the quiz, and it turns out, I do put career before men. (to Joey) Get up.

Joey: What?

Chandler: You're in my seat.

Joey: How is this your seat?

Chandler: 'Cause I was sitting there.

Joey: But then you left.

Chandler: Well, it's not like I went to Spain. I went to the bathroom , you knew I was coming back.

Joey: What's the big deal , sit somewhere else.

Chandler: The big deal is I was sitting there last, so, that's my seat.

Joey: Well, actually the last place you were sitting was in there (points to the bathroom). Soo...

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. Uh, huh：可以说是英文中表示"同意、赞成"用的最多的语气词了。很多同学掌握不好这个发音。张着嘴发成uh-huh，闭着嘴吐气自然而然就成了uh-hum。表示不同意的时候我们通常摇着头说 uh-uh，类似的道理闭着嘴吐气变成um-um。口语中常用的语气词还包括yummy yummy（真香真香），ouch（哎哟），whoops（糟糕），blah blah blah（等等……）等。

2. lucky penny：a penny lying on the ground faced up. Most luck should follow immediately after picking up of it.

3. go to the bathroom：表示去洗手间，也可以用restroom。美国人很少说go to the toilet，toilet很多时候指马桶。当然我们也可以用go somewhere，go pee甚至pass water（传水），take a leak（漏），hit the John等等比较诙谐的说法。

4. big deal：类似咱们中文里说"大不了""了不起的"。这个表达法在口语里出现的频率相当高。比如，"就算他文笔很差，可这有什么大不了的！"就可以说"So this guy couldn't write, big deal!"。说"这件事有什么大不了的"，可以说"It's no big deal."，也可以说成"It's not a big deal."。大家注意这两句话里逻辑重音的位置是不一样的，如果你要强调NO（没什么）这种语气时，最好选前者，因为后者的逻辑重音跑到别处去了。
