小鸡渐渐长成公鸡,热衷打鸣。菲比接受将受精卵植入子宫的手术;由于费用高昂,小弗兰克和爱丽丝仅能负担一次手术,所以菲比感觉压力巨大。莫妮卡、瑞秋和钱德、乔伊打赌,谁了解对方更多。于是罗斯设计了问答游戏,赌注不断攀升:如果女孩们赢,鸡和鸭就必须送走;反之,如果男孩们赢,双方就得交换公寓。

1. challenge extented 发出挑战 

在Ross的撺掇下,Joey和Chandler决定与Monica和Rachel打赌猜Monica包里的物品。Ross用了两个短语促成这场赌局。

challenge extended 发出挑战 

challenge accepted 接受挑战


Joey: Oh yeah? Ross, how many items left in that bag?

Ross: Five.

Chandler: Okay, ten bucks says that we can name every item in that bag.

Rachel: How many guesses do you get?

Joey: Six

.Ross: Challenge extended.

Monica: Deal!

Ross: Challenge excepted.

2. fork it over 递过来 

当Chandler和Joey赢了Monica, Monica付钱的时候,Chandler连续用了几个短语来炫耀自己的得意。fork it up 

fork it over 把某物递过来(通常指没收或者归还)字面含义是用叉子挑过来

例句:They stuck a gun in his ribs and made him fork over all his money.

他们把枪顶住他的肋骨,逼他把所有的钱交出来。


Joey: Okay, the last thing…

Chandler: Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh! (Whispers something in Joey’s ear.)

Joey: No-no, not for like another two weeks.

Chandler: I got it! Scotch… tape. (They’re right.)

Ross: How did you know she would buy scotch tape?

Chandler: Well, we used there’s up last night making scary faces.

Monica: Aww, man!

Chandler: All right! Ten buck! Fork it over! Cough it up! Pay the piper! Gimme it.

3. cough up 被迫支付 

Chandler得意用词之 cough it up 

cough up 勉强说出,被迫支付

I'll have to cough up $10,000 a year for tuition.

我将必须勉强支付每年$10000的学费。


4. pay the piper 不得不付钱,不得不面对 

Chandler得意用词之 pay the piper 

pay the piper 美国俚语 指明知道价钱高还不得不付,也可以指承受某种行为的后果.

例句: After fooling around for most of the semester, now he has to pay the piper and study over vacation.

整个学期瞎胡混,后果就是假期得学习。


5. scare the bejesus out of sb 把某人吓坏了 

在了解问答大战中,Chandler最害怕的竟然是Michael Flatley.

bejesus 老天(非正式说法)scare the bejesus out of sb 把某人吓坏了

 Michael Flatley. 爱尔兰舞舞王。Riverdance大河之舞,Lord of Dance王者之舞和Celtic Tiger凯尔特之虎的创始人。他可以上半身不动,每秒钟踢腿28次,创造了吉尼斯世界纪录。在全世界范围内掀起爱尔兰踢踏舞狂潮。


Ross: According to Chandler, what phenomenon scares the bejeezus out of him?

Monica: Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance!

Ross: That is correct.

Joey: (to Chandler) The Irish gig guy?!

Chandler: His legs flail about as if independent of his body!

6. lightning round 抢答环节 

在Ross的主持下双方的比赛到了lighting round的环节。

lightning round 闪电轮

其实就是比赛中的规定时间内抢答环节


Ross: All right, we have a tie. Luckily, I have prepared for such an event. (He opens up an envelope and holds up some note cards.) The Lightning Round!

All: Ohhhh.

Ross: Thirty seconds, all the questions you can answer.

Monica: You guys are dead, I am so good at lighting rounds.

Chandler: I majored in lightning rounds. All right, we’re gonna destroy 

7. rile sb up 把某人激怒 

Chanlder用把小鸡赶出房子做赌注,Rachel让把鸭子也算上,Joey说鸭子招你了?它有不叫。Rachel说he gets the other one all riled up.

rile sb up 把某人惹恼,激怒



Joey: What do you have against the duck?! He doesn’t make any noise!

Rachel: Well, he gets the other one all riled up.

Joey: Look, we are not gonna…

Chandler: (interrupting) All right, hold on! If you win, we give up the birds.

Joey: (shocked) Dah!! (Chandler motions for him to calm down.)

Chandler: But if we win, we get your apartment.

Joey: Oooooh!

Monica: Deal!

8. standard shotgun rules 猎枪原则 

在挑房间的时候,Joey说

Standard Shotgun Rules. 猎枪原则。

意思是先下手为强,谁先说出来谁先得。这个起源是美国孩子坐汽车抢座位,汽车前排的座椅可以叫shotgun.所以当一家人出游的时候,有人先喊shotgun,那他就有资格坐这个座椅。


Joey: I call Monica’s room!

Chandler: You can’t just call Monica’s room.

Joey: Sure I can, standard shotgun rules, I’m sight of the room and I called it.
