看老友記Friends學英語 第一季第四集
【劇情介紹】
瑞秋收到了自己的第一筆工資，她一開始非常興奮，可是拆開工資單一看自己收入只有一點點兒，大家夥兒卻又都安慰起她來。
Rachel: Look-look-look-look-look, my first pay check! Look at the window, there's my name! Hi, me!
Phoebe: I remember the day I got my first pay check. There was a cave in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed.
Monica: Wow, you worked in a mine?
Phoebe: I worked in a Dairy Queen, why?
Rachel: God, isn't this exciting? I earned this. I wiped tables for it, I steamed milk for it, and it was totally—(opens envelope)—not worth it. Who's FICA? Why's he getting all my money? I mean, what- Chandler, look at that.
Chandler: (looking) Oh, this is not that bad.
Joey: Oh, you're fine, yeah, for a first job.
Ross: You can totally, totally live on this.
Monica: Yeah, yeah.
Ross: Oh, by the way, great service tonight.
All: Oh! Yeah!
(They all get their wallets out and give generous tips.)
Guys: Hockey!【口語講解】
1. Look at the window 瞧這個小窗口！
爲什麼信上面有小窗口，看看你們家電話單子之類的信封就知道了。
2. I worked in a Dairy Queen 我在DQ做啊。
現在大家都知道DQ是冰激凌店，當年看老友記的時候還以爲是牛奶坊咧。
