【句子】Aside from that, the whole evening was pretty much a bust. 【Friends-S2E5】 【发音】[ə'saɪd] [frɒm]/[frɑ:m] [ðæt] [ðə] [həʊl] ['i:vnɪŋ] [wɒz]/[wɑ:z] ['prɪti] [mʌtʃ] [ə] [bʌst] 【发音技巧】aside from不完全失去爆破；pretty美音浊化；much a连读； 【翻译】除此之外，昨晚一整晚都挺没劲的。 【适用场合】 今天节目当中大家可以先看一下视频，视频中有一个这样的画面，Chandler的食指和中指绕在一起，这个其实有关fingers crossed我们之前讲过的。 当你祈祷某件事情可以顺利可以说：Fingers crossed. 那么这里Chandler比划这个动作，说的句子是： Apparently, Stevie and Hootie are like this. 很显然，这俩人关系很亲密。 其实在生活中，如果做这个动作的话，可以用来描述两个人之间关系非常的close很亲密。 as close to each other as two crossed fingers 除此之外，今天说一下这个bust 之前节目中我们讲过一个这样的表达，be busted/get busted “被抓到了吧？！被发现了吧！” 经常用于被警察发现、被家长发现你干坏事。 A person who is busted is caught doing something wrong, esp. caught by the police and accused of a crime. 今天 bust不是这个用法。可以理解成failure 或者flop失败； eg: The movie was a total bust. 那电影？垃圾。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 我们曾经尝试开一家新公司，后来彻底黄了。

【句子】Listen. It was nice to see you.

I just can’t win. 如果我和Phil玩，那Jane不开心。但是如果我和Jane玩，Phil又会嫉妒，我没办法同时照顾到他俩的情绪。 eg: I can't win. If I agree with her, she says I have no mind of my own. If I don't, she says I'm being difficult. 我没招了，如果我同意她的观点，她说我没主见。如果我不同意，她又说我不好相处。 Look, it’s a nice gesture. It is. But it just feels like…charity. 各位，你们是一番好意，确实是这样。但是这样感觉很像是在施舍我们。 nice gesture非常适合对应汉语的“好意”，不要直译成为“优雅的姿势”； I’m gonna pass on the concert. 我想这次表演我不会去看的。 这个其实我们之前在第100期节目中，讲Your words, not mine. 的时候提到过这个句型。 eg: I think I would pass on the dessert. It seems that I’ve gained a few extra pounds lately. 哎呀，我还是不吃甜点了吧，我觉得我最近胖了不少。 pass on什么意思呢？ 很多人知道有传递的意思，但在这里明显不是。 pass (on sth.) to say that you do not want sth. that is offered to you 或者 let something go by without accepting or taking advantage of it 我还是不了吧 eg: Thanks.
