谁编了这个笑话

  Friends,中文译名为《六人行》或《老友记》是美国正在热播的一个sitcom (即situation comedy)也就是我们所说的情景喜剧。它之所以这么受欢迎,是因为其内容轻松,语言幽默,每每令人捧腹不已。对于英语学习者来说,我们更能从中学到不少地道的口语。现在就请大家和我一起感受其中的乐趣吧!

  第四十四篇

  Ross兴冲冲地拿了一本《花花公子》杂志跑来跟大家说:

  Ross: Hey, you're not going to believe this. I made up a joke and sent it in to Playboy. They printed it! Here, check it out. It's the first one, too.

  Chandler: That is funny. It was also funny when I made it up.

  Ross: What?

  Chandler: I made that joke up.

  Ross: Uh, oh-oh, no you didn't. I did.

  Chandler: Yes, I did. I told it to Dan at work, and he said it was the funniest joke he'd ever heard.

  Ross: Hey, tell Dan,‘Thanks.'

  Chandler: Monica, you remember me telling you that joke, right?

  Monica: No.

  Chandler: Seriously?

  Monica: Well, you tell a lot of jokes!

  Ross: Look, Chandler, it's my joke. But, hey, if it makes you feel any better they don't print the name, so it doesn't really matter who gets credit, right?

  Chandler: Yeah, I guess.

  【世博视角】

  Ross说他编了一个笑话,然后寄给了《花花公子》杂志,结果被选用了(I made up a joke and sent it in to Playboy. They printed it!)。他很兴奋地翻开杂志让大伙来看,还说这个笑话被印在了头条(Here, check it out. It's the first one, too.)check sth out经常出现在口语中,可以表示不同的意思,check这个动词的基本解释是“检查、核对”,所以check sth out就可以表示查验一下某事看是否属实或正确等等;此外,当你看到什么有趣的事情想和别人分享时,也可以用这个表示法,例如:

  I made a phone call to check out his address.

  I hear about a website that sounds interesting, I check it out.

  Hey, check out that car!

  当大伙读了那笑话后都说蛮有趣的时候,Chandler却说那笑话是他编的,于是他和Ross两人为此争吵起来,Chandler赶紧向Monica求证道:“Monica, you remember me telling you that joke, right? (你记得我对你讲过那个笑话,是吧?)”,可谁知Monica却回答了一个No,这下Chandler可急了,连忙问了一句“Seriously?(说真的?)”,通常当我们这么问时就表示对别人所说的话有点不太敢相信,想再确定一下,如:'The job is yours.' 'Seriously?'

  最后Ross对Chandler说反正杂志上并没写明这个笑话是谁写的,所以他们俩也用不着在这儿为“版权”问题而争论不休(if it makes you feel any better they don't print the name, so it doesn't really matter who gets credit, right?),credit这词相信大家都十分熟悉,可以表示“信用”,但除此之外它还可以表示“荣誉”,如:Credit for this win goes to everybody in the team.“取得荣誉”或“赢得赞赏”就可以说get /take credit。

  *本篇所讲到的表达法:

  check sth out

  get / take credit
