【117】The One With Two Parts, Part II
本集简介：
莫妮卡带瑞秋上医院。买保险，所以她和莫妮卡身份互换——要约会她俩时，情况变得复杂化。瑞秋认为应坦白她们的身份，莫妮卡坚持要保守秘密，两人争吵，结果在两位医生前互曝其短……

1.Rachel: Well, alright, then, forget it.  Might as well just go home. 好，算了。我们还是回家好了。
might as well: 不妨，最好，might as well + do something
例:
It is chilly outside. I might as well stay at home. 外面冷飕飕的，我还是最好呆在家里吧。

2. Joey: Oh, man. What're the odds of that happening? 哦，天哪。这种事发生的几率有多少？
odds: 机会，可能性；
由odds拓展开，学习有关它的一些短语：
odds and ends: small objects of different types which are not very valuable or important; 零零碎碎的小东西；也能看到报纸或者杂志会用这个词组来作一个栏目名称。
例：I had the whole house cleaned out except for a few odds and ends that you might want to keep. 我把整个房间都清理干净了，除了一点小东西你有可能需要留着。
by all odds：without question and beyond doubt 毫无疑问地
例：By all odds they should win. 毫无疑问他们应该会赢。

3.Joey: What can I do? Look, I don't want to do anything to screw it up with Ursula. 我能做点什么？我可不想因为任何事情把和乌苏拉的事情办砸了！
screw up: to make a mess of something 把事情办砸了。
screw 原意是指螺钉，作为动词的screw up，在这里是指把事情搞砸了，是在口语中很常见的一种表达。
例：I screwed up the game. 我把比赛搞砸了！
    I screw up all the time. 我总是把事情办得一团砸。

4. Chandler: Man, if you tried something like that on my birthday, you'd be starin' at the business end of a hissy fit. 如果你在我生日那天做出这样的事，那你看见的就是一个刚受过气的人。
stare at: 凝视、盯着看
business end: receiving end承受方。business end表示起作用的那一头，即是（工具与武器）与握端相对的那锋利的一头。
例：Never hold a gun with the business end. 拿枪不要拿枪口那一头。
hissy fit: a short-lived temper tantrum 临时来的脾气。常用词组有have a hissy fit, 相当于throw a tantrum 发脾气。
例：Look at that little boy. He's having a hissy fit! 快看那个小男孩。他正在发脾气呢。

5. Scenery: Ross stands in the doorway, holding a box, but everyone is too keyed up to notice that it's him. (场景) 罗斯站在走廊里，手里拿着个盒子，但是每个人都太兴奋了，以致于没有注意到他。
keyed up(about something): to be excited or anxious 兴奋的，紧张的
例：Why are you so keyed up about nothing? 你为何无事而乐？
    I was keyed up over the test results. 我对测试结果颇为担心。

6．Rachel: (as Monica) Yeah it is, mostly because I get to boss people around, which I just love to do. （装作莫妮卡）是的，最重要的是因为我能将人呼来唤去，这是我喜欢做的。
boss people around: boss这里作动词，表示指挥、呼号施令。
例：All she could do is bossing us around. 她只会让我们忙得团团转。
