  在本期“口语角”栏目里,我们请来了欧美电视剧《老友记》(又译《六人行》)中的六个性格各异、风趣幽默的男女主角和大家一起笑说口语。他们的语速较快且使用了一些口语化词语,比如C’mon=come on, gonna=going to等等。请注意模仿说话者的语气,揣摩讲幽默的技巧。
  
  背景1:雷切尔在众朋友的劝服下,要剪掉所有父母给她的附属信用卡,尝试不依赖父母,独立生活。
  
  Monica: C’mon, you can’t live off[靠……生活] your parents your whole life.
  Rachel: I know that. That’s why I was getting married.
  Phoebe: 1)Give her a break! It’s hard being on your own for the first time.
  Rachel: Thank you.
  Phoebe: You’re welcome.
  Ross: The word you’re looking for is “Anyway”..
  Monica: Alright. You ready?
  Rachel: I don’t think so.
  Ross: Oh c’mon, cut, cut, cut, cut...
  All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut...?All: Hey, yeah?Monica: Welcome to the real world! It 2)sucks. You’re gonna love it!
  
  莫尼卡:拜托,你不可能一辈子靠父母生活。
  雷切尔:我知道,所以我才要结婚啊。
  菲比:别逼她了!第一次独立生活是很难的。
  雷切尔:谢谢!
  菲比:不客气。
  罗斯:你现在要说的是“好吧,反正……”
  莫尼卡:行了,你准备好了吗?
  雷切尔:还没。
  罗斯:喔,别这样,切、切、切、切……
  大家:切、切、切、切、切、切、切……
  大家:嘿,好极了—
  莫尼卡:欢迎来到现实世界!它很逊,但是你会喜欢它的!
  
  背景2:罗斯和雷切尔在莫尼卡家里单独相处,他们看上了同一块巧克力饼干。接着,他们之间会发生什么事情呢?
  
  Ross: Mmmm. Oh, no...
  Rachel: Sorry...
  Ross: No no no, go...
  Rachel: No, you have it, really, I don’t want it...
  Ross: Split[分离] it?
  Rachel: Okay.
  Ross: Okay. You know you probably didn’t know this, but back in high school, I had a, um, major 3)crush on you.
  Rachel: I knew.
  Ross: You did! Oh...I always figured you just thought I was Monica’s 4)geeky older brother.
  Rachel: I did.
  Ross: Oh. Listen, do you think...and try not to let my intense[紧张的] vulnerability[弱点] become any kind of a factor[因素] here...but do you think it would be okay if I 5)asked you out? Sometime? Maybe?
  Rachel: Yeah, maybe...
  Ross: Okay...okay, maybe I will...
  Rachel: Goodnight.
  Ross: Goodnight.
  
  罗斯:喔,不……
  雷切尔:对不起……
  罗斯:不不不,吃吧……
  雷切尔:不,你吃吧,真的,我不想要……
  罗斯:对半分?
  雷切尔:好吧。
  罗斯:好。你也许不知道,在高中的时候,我,呃,曾经狂热地暗恋你。
  雷切尔:我知道。
  罗斯:你知道!哦……我一直以为你只是把我当作莫尼卡的变态哥哥。
  雷切尔:我有这样想过。
  罗斯:是吗?听着,你认为……请不要把我紧张的弱点成为任何因素……你觉得如果我和你约会,你愿意吗?或者某个时候?
  雷切尔:好啊,有可能……
  罗斯:好……好,那我可能会……
  雷切尔:晚安。
  罗斯:晚安。

如果你看过史蒂文斯皮尔伯格的《E.T.外星人》,那这部《魔力玩具盒》一定会让你有似曾相识的感觉。两部电影讲的都是几个善良的孩子无意中发现了来自未知世界的物体,并与它们结下很深的感情。然而,它们不属于这个世界,无论我们多么希望能永远和它们在一起,我们还是不得不放手,唯一能做的就是把它们送回到原来的世界。此类电影的主角都是孩子,因为只有这些单纯善良的心灵会毫无保留地爱那些在成年人看来是危险的“东西”。
