Scene 2 ²Ä¤G¹õ
Ross: So, Rachel, what are you up to tonight? Rachel: Well, I was kinda supposed to be headed for Aruba on my honeymoon...so nothing. Ross: Right, you're not even getting your honeymoon...No! no! although Aruba. This time of year? Talk about your big lizards. Anyway...if you don't feel being alone tonight, Joey and Chandler are coming over to help me to put together my new furniture. Chandler: Yes, we're very excited about it. Rachel: Thanks, but I think I'm just gonna hang out here. It's been a long day. Ross: Oh sure, okay sure. Pheebs, you wanna help? Pheobe: Oh I wish I could, but I don't want to.
Somthing about Scene 2
1. Ross asks Rachel what her plan is for the night. He says, "What are you up to tonight? " being up to something can either mean wanting to do something, or having something planed, or just simply, doing something. So I guess what Ross says can be roughly translated as, "so, Rachel, what are you doing tonight?"
2. Rachel was being humorous, she was scheduled to have her honeymoon, in Chinese we call it »e¤ë¡C
3. She says, "I was kinda supposed to..." be supposed to do something means to be scheduled to do something. We can also say, we are supposed to have class in the morning. We are supposed to read this book before the professor test on it. So , suppose to do something.
4. Now the next term we are going to learn today is head for. head for is a very useful term you can use it instead of going to. It means the same th ing. So, when Rachel says that she is supposed to head for Aruba on her honeymoon, she maybe feeling very sad, so Ross wants to comfort her, but he doesn't do a really good job¡Kand the only bad thing about the honeymoon place is the lizard, which no one would pay attention to when they are enjoying the beach and sunshine.
5. At a second try, Ross wants to invite Rachel to his place with his furniture, but Rachel says no. She says that she is just going to hang out there, at Monica's place. Hang out means stay and probably doing nothing productive but being there.
6. Now after that, Pheobe cracks the joke again, when Ross asks her if she wants to help, she says "I wish I could but I don't want to." When we usually reject someone, we would use the phrase, "I wish I could, but ..." The thing after but can be an excuse like, we have something else planned, but just by saying "I don't want to", does not really follow the first part, if we try to translate it into Chinese, it may sound something like this :¡§§Ú¯uªº«Ü§Æ±æ¯à¥h¡A¥i¬O§Ú¤£·Q¥h¡¨¡@'
