图说英语：跟老友记学英语口语1.1(10)

Monica:Just breathe, breathe.. that"s it. Just try to think of nice calm things... Phoebe: (sings) Raindrops on roses and rabbits and kittens小猫, (Rachel and Monica turn to look at her.) bluebells野风信子 and sleighbells雪橇 and- something with mittens棒球or拳击手套... La la la la...something and noodles with string. These are a few...
Rachel:I"m all better now.
Phoebe:(grins and walks to the kitchen and says to Chandler and Joey.) I helped!
grin n.露齿笑, 裂口笑v.露齿而笑
Monica:Okay, look, this is probably for the best, y"know? Independence. Taking control of your life. The whole, "hat" thing.
在这些事发生之前，Rachel可是一直靠在她那有钱的老爸身上的，所以Monica 才说：”哎，这可能是件好事呢，你想啊，这样你就能独立生活了。” be for the best 是一个极其口语化的表达法，表示某件事情可能并不像看上去那么糟，也颇有点良药虽苦，其利于病的意思，比如：I know it"s hard for you to leave him, but it"s for the best.
Joey:(comforting her) And hey, you need anything, you can always come to Joey. Me and Chandler live across the hall. And he"s away a lot.
接着号称情圣的Joey也跑来向Rachel表示："嗨，如果你需要什么尽管来找我好了。" 实际上Joey和另一个"老友" Chandler就住在Monica的对门：Me and Chandler live right across the hall. 按语法讲，Joey应该说 Chandler and I…但在口语中用me也是可以接受的，而且Joey为了突出自己而把Me放到了Chandler前面，然后还很暧昧地加了一句"他经常不在家 (And he’s away lot)"。
