場景介紹

大家聚在Central Perk討論“sex”的話題，Monica說男生不懂kiss的重要性，Chandler、Ross和Rachel用比喻表達了自己的觀點，一臉懵逼的Joey莫名有點萌(๑‾ ꇴ ‾๑)

今日內容

Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it.

你們男生不懂，對我們女生來說，親吻和其他任何部分一樣重要。

Joey: Yeah, right!.......you serious?

沒錯！你……認真的？

Phoebe: Oh, yeah!

當然！

Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.

你想了解的一切都在初吻中。

Monica: Absolutely.

沒錯。

Chandler: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, you know? I mean it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.

我覺得對我們來說，親吻就像是開場表演，就像平克·弗洛伊德出場前，你得耐著性子先看完單口喜劇。

Ross: Yeah, and-and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's that-that... that's not why we bought the ticket.

對，我們並不是不喜歡單口喜劇，只是那不是我們買票的原因。

Chandler: The problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again, you know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically just trying to stay awake.

問題在於演唱會結束後，不論表演有多精采，你們女生總還想再看（單口）喜劇。我們在車上，奮力殺出車陣，只是拼命讓自己別睡著。

Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.

是哦？給你一個建議：叫單口喜劇演員再度上場，否則下次，你們只能獨自坐在家中聽唱片。

Joey: Are we still talking about sex?

我們還在談論性嗎？

重點表達

01.as important as

as important as和……一樣重要

as+形容詞/副詞+as和……一樣……

比如：

as interesting as和……一樣有趣

as strong as和……一樣強

as quickly as和……一樣快

eg:

The presentation of food can be as important as the taste.

食物的外觀和味道同樣重要。

02.pretty much

pretty much幾乎，差不多

eg:

This letter pretty much describes my situation.

這封信差不多描述了我的處境。

03.stand-up comedian

stand-up comedian單口喜劇演員

stand-up comedy是talk show的一個分支，兩者在語言的幽默、風趣、逗笑方面有相似之處，但是現今很多人會把這兩者混為一談。

stand-up comedy和talk show的區別：

stand-up comedy是單口喜劇，通常是一個人站著表演，一個人一個麥克風站在臺上講段子，講單口喜劇的演員一般兼具創作和表演能力。美劇《了不起的麥瑟爾夫人》的女主就是stand-up comedian（單口喜劇演員）。《吐槽大會》、《脫口秀大會》這類節目其實也是stand-up comedy。

talk show指的是訪談類的視頻或音頻節目

，主持人是節目的靈魂，知識儲備量大且幽默能接梗。《金星秀》、《艾倫秀》這類就屬於talk show。

04.sit through
