1. it rains cats and dogs 倾盆大雨
Rachel形容昨晚的大雨是pouring down rain.倾盆大雨。
形容倾盆大雨还可以说It is pouring outside. 外面下着倾盆大雨。 还有一种说法是It rains cats and dogs.
Monica: So? How did it go with Joshua last night?
Rachel: Well, I didn’t see Joshua last night, but I did punch a girl in the face.
Monica: What?
Phoebe: Why?
Rachel: The whole night was horrible, it was pouring down rain, and when I got there, there was no Rachel Green on the list, but there was a Rachel Green.
2. get clocked 被脸上打一拳
Rachel说她揍了一个人I clocked her. Clock 在口语里指往脸上打一拳punch in the face.
get clocked = get punched
Monica: So you hit her in the face?
Rachel: No, she was already in, but then this big bitch behind me tried to steal my umbrella, so I clocked her. Ohhh! I can’t believe this, all I wanted was a few hours outside of work to see Joshua, so he can go ahead and start falling in love with me.
3. put out 熄灭
看到旁边的客人吸烟，怀孕的Phoebe 对旁边一个客人说You have to put that out 让他把烟熄掉。
Put out 熄灭，扑灭等于extinguish
Phoebe: Oh, no umm, hi, that-that, you have to put that out, ‘cause I’m pregnant.
The Cigarette Smoking Guy: (No, not the Cigarette Smoking Man from The X-Files.) Well, maybe you and your baby should go to another strip club.
Phoebe: Ha-ha, it’s not my baby, ha-ha-ha! (He leaves.)
4. loose cannon 不顾后果的人
Joey说Charlton是一个loose cannon.
loose cannon 我行我素,不顾后果的人
loose是松散的意思，而cannon是指大炮。 Loose cannon的来历是几百年前当人们在海上作战时，他们往往在船上放好些大炮，每一座大炮放在一个带四个轮子的平台上。 在战争间隙的时候，船员们用很粗的绳子把这些大炮栓住，不让它们随便移动。可是，当风暴来临，这些绳子在风暴的冲击下断了以后，大炮就会在船甲板上到处滚动，会把那些不幸就在大炮旁边的船员轧死，这比真正的敌人还要危险。
现在， loose cannon的意思和打仗并没有什么关系。人们把loose cannon用来指一个失去控制、无视权威、打破常轨的人，这种人往往会伤害和他自己站在一边的人。例如，有些美国政府官员在重大问题上擅自采取行动，也不向总统汇报。国会议员就把这些人称为loose cannon。
Joey: How ya doin’?
Charlton Heston: Who in the hell are you?
Joey: I guess you wouldn’t believe me if I said I was Kurt Douglas, huh?Charlton Heston: Put some pants on kid so I can kick your butt.
Joey: No-no-no, no, no, wait. You see, I’m an actor, Joey Tribbiani, I’m doing a scene with you today, and well, I stink.
Charlton Heston: (shocked) You’re in this picture?
Joey: Yeah-yeah, I’m one of the cops that won’t work with you ‘cause you a loose cannon. Anyway, look, I’m really sorry, but I stink!
5. lost cause 败局已定的事情
Chandler觉得自己不可能到达第三阶段，所以他说Phase Three is a lost cause.
Lost cause 是指败局已定的事情。
They do not want to expend energy in what, to them, is a lost cause.
他们不想把精力投到他们认为注定不会成功的事中去。
Chandler: Okay, look, I’m gonna have to ask you all to leave.
Monica: Come on! Chandler!
Chandler: Look, forget it. We tried, but Phase Three is a lost cause, Okay? Those strippers were insanely hot, and I couldn’t picture myself with any of them. (Sits back in disgust.)
