フレンズで学ぶ英会話

Hi, guys!

どうも。

Hey, Phoebe! How did it go?

デートはどう？

Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway, and said, "we should do this again."

ダメだわ。別れ際に「またね」って。

What? He said, "we should do it again." That's good, right?

また会うんなら脈ありよ。

Uh...no, loosely translated "we should do this again" means "you will never see me naked."

「またね」は訳すと「裸の付き合いはゴメンだ」。

Since when?

いつから？

Since always. It's like dating language. You know, like, "it's not you" means "it is you."

昔からの決まり文句だよ。「あなたは悪くない」は「あなたのせいよ」。

Or "you're such a nice guy" means "I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you."

「いい人ね」は「私の好みは危ない男なの、グチ聞いてね」。

Or "I think we should see other people" means "ha, ha, I already am."

「お互い、いい人探そう」は「新しい彼できたの」。

And everybody knows this?

それ、常識？

Oh, yeah...cushions the blow.

大人の思いやりさ。

Yeah, it's like when you're a kid and your parents put your dog to sleep and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.

ほら、犬を始末して子供には「田舎に預けた」と。

That's funny, because our parents actually did send our dog off to live on a farm.

でも、うちの親は本当に犬を田舎に送ったよ。

Uh...Ross.

そうね、兄さん…

Oh, my god, Chi-Chi!

僕のチーチーが！

You okay, Phoebe?

大丈夫？

Yeah. No, I'm just, it's, uh.. It's not even worth. It's my bank.

いえ、銀行のせいよ。

And what did they do to you?

銀行が何を？

I'm goin' through my mail, and I open up their monthly statement-- and there's $500 extra in my account.

口座の明細書を見てたの。残高が500ドル増えてた。

Oh! Satan's minions at work again.

また悪魔の仕業だ。

What are you talkin' about? Keep it.

冗談だろ、もらっとけ。

It's not mine. I didn't earn it. If I kept it, it would be like stealing.

このまま取っておいたら泥棒になる。

Yeah, but if you spent it, it would be like shopping.

買い物して使えば？

Okay, let's say I bought a really great pair of shoes. Do you know what I'd hear with every step I took? Not mine. Not mine. Not mine.

じゃ靴を買ったら歩くたびにどんな足音がする？「ネコババ、ネコババ」。

Oh, I can't believe you. You've been so good for three years.

3年も、やめてたのに。

And this...is my reward.

そのご褒美だ。

Hold on a second, alright. Just think about what you went through the last time you quit.

この前、禁煙したときつらかったろ。

Okay, so this time I won't quit.

今度は吸い続ける。

I mean, why should I let them meet him? I mean, I bring a guy home and within five minutes they're all over him.

絶対、会わせない。みんなで集中攻撃よ。

I mean, they're like coyotes. Pickin' off the weak members of the herd.

コヨーテみたいに彼に襲いかかるの。

Well, listen, as someone who's seen more than her share of bad beef. I'll tell you. That is not such a terrible thing.

ひどい獲物をつかんできた私に言わせりゃ、気にすることないと思うけどね。

Come on, now. Your friends are just looking out for you.

友達は心配してんのよ。

I know, I know. I just wish that once I'd bring a guy home they actually liked.

みんなに彼を気に入ってほしいの。

Well, you do realize that the odds of that happenin' are a little slimmer if they never get to meet the guy.

会わせなかったら気に入る可能性はゼロだよ。

Let it go, Ross.

もう忘れろ。

Yeah, well, you didn't know Chi-Chi.

チーチーを知らないくせに。

Okay, let's let the Alan-bashing begin. Who's gonna take the first shot, hmm?

アラン・バッシングね。最初は誰？

I'll go. Let's start with the way he kept picking at.. You know, I'm sorry, I can't do this. Can't do it. We loved him.

僕から。まず彼の癖だけど…けなしようがない、満点だ。

We loved him!

大好き！

Wait, wait, wait a minute! We're talking about someone that I'm going out with?

それって彼のこと？

So, I think Alan will become the yardstick against which all future boyfriends will be measured.

思うに、アランは今後の彼氏を測る物差しになるね。

What future boyfriends? No, no, I think this could be, you know it.

今後なんてないわ。彼で決まりよ。

Really?

ホント？

Oh, yeah. I'd marry him just for his David Hasselhoff impression alone.

結婚しろ。彼は物まねの天才だ。

You know what I like most about him, though?

何より彼は――

What?

何？

The way he makes me feel about myself.

自信を持たせてくれる。

Yeah!

確かに。

Hey, this is so unfair.

不公平だよ。

So, I have a flaw! Big deal. Like Joey's constant knuckle-cracking isn't annoying?

誰にも欠点はある。ジョーイは指をボキボキ鳴らす。

And Ross, with his over pronouncing every single word? And Monica, with that snort when she laughs?

ロスは大げさな話し方。モニカは笑うとき鼻を鳴らす。

I accept all those flaws. Why can't you accept me for this?

なのに俺ばっかり責められてる。

Can you believe it? It's just.. You know what? I just don't feel the thing.

困ったことに私が彼にピンと来ないの。

I mean, they feel the thing. I don't feel the thing.

みんなと違って感じないの。

Honey, you should always feel the thing.

ダメよ、快感が得られない男なんて。

Listen, if that's how you feel about the guy, Monica, dump him!

それなら、さっさと捨てな。

Chandler? It's Alan, he wants to speak to you.

チャンドラー、アランからよ。

Really? He does? Hey, buddy, what's up?

彼が俺に？よう、相棒。

Oh, she told you about that, huh? Well, yeah, I have one now and then. Well, yeah, now.

モニカに聞いた？吸うのは時々だ。今もね。

Gee, you know, no one's ever put it like that before. So, well, okay, thanks.

そう言われたの、初めてだ。分かった、ありがと。

God, he's good.

彼って最高。

If only he were a woman.

彼が女ならな。

Okay. It's about Alan. There's something that you should know.

アランのことよ。知らせとくわ。

Oh, man, there's really no easy way to say this. I've decided to break up with Alan.

言いにくいんだけど、彼とは別れる。

Is there somebody else?

ほかに男が？

No, no, no. It's just.. You know, things change. People change.

違うの。物事は変わるし、人も心変わりするわ。

We didn't change.

私たちは変わらない。
