Paul: I know, I know, Im such an idiot. I guess I should have caught on when she started going to the dentist four and five times a week. I mean, how clean can teeth get? Monica: My brothers going through that right now, hes such a mess. How did you get through it? Paul: Well, you might try accidentally breaking something valuable of hers, say her- Monica: -leg? Paul: (laughing) Thats one way! Me, I- I went for the watch. Monica: You actually broke her watch? Wow! The worst thing I ever did was, I-I shredded by boyfriends favorite bath towel. 讲解 在倾听Paul讲述自己被甩的经历时，Monica不时地发出Oh，my God!(天哪!)Wow!(哇!)的惊叹声。英语口语中类似表示惊叹的句子还有很多。如果某天突然遇到多年没有音信的老友，想必你也会这样惊叹道：For the love of Mike，I didn’t expect to meet you here!(老天爷!我做梦也没想到竞在这儿遇见你!)当然你也可以像Monica那样用Oh，my God!(天哪!) Wow!(哇!)，或用I can’t believe it!(真叫人难以置信!)My goodness!(天哪!)Oh，thats incredible!(哦，简直不可思议!)What a surprise!(真出人意料!)Gee!(哎呀!)等等来表达你此时惊讶的心情。 记得前些日子与朋友聊起生活中的奇闻轶事。当听说有人活吞了一只老鼠时，朋友两眼圆睁，脱口而出：What，eat a rat alive?(什么!活吞一只老鼠?)类似的表达方式还有：Oh，no! How dreadful!(哦，不!太可怕了!)You must be kidding!(你一定是开玩笑!)Really?(真的吗?)It cant be!(这不可能!)等等。 女友跟别人好上了，自己却浑然不知。Paul说：Im such an idiot．(我真是个大白痴。)Monica由此想起了哥哥Ross由于跟同性恋的妻子分手而整日魂不守舍，便说：My brothers going through that right now，hes such a mess．(我哥哥正被此事所扰，他真是不可救药的大笨蛋。)mess一词在此并不是指我们通常所理解的脏或乱的状态，而是形容某个人是不可救药的傻瓜或笨蛋。比如说：Honey，I can never follow what you really mean．Im a mess．意思是说：亲爱的，我总不能领会你的本意，我好混啊! 但就像我们一直所强调的那样，任何事都不能枉下论断。前几日正在陪宝宝玩耍的丈夫跑过来喊道：Come on，theres a mess in our babys diapers．(快过来呀，宝宝在尿布上拉屎了。)如果此时你把mess理解成傻瓜，在别人眼里你岂不turn into a mess?(成了不可救药的蠢蛋?)。 经典对白2： Chandler: Look, Ross, you gotta understand, between us we havent had a relationship that has lasted longer than a Mento. You, however have had the love of a
