Ross: ...So I think Alan will become the yardstick against which all future boyfriends will be measured.
我认为Alan可以成为以后男朋友的丈量标准。yardstick：标准；准绳，后面跟介词of或against,
比如：Is diploma the only yardstick of knowledge?
这里有一个相关短语：
Give him an inch and he‘ll take a yard.得寸进尺。
Chandler: I personally could have a gallon of Alan.
这里a gallon of表示的是一种程度。
Monica: Fantastic! I have one question: How is that possible?
fantastic adj.不可思议
How is that possible? 这个怎么可能的
Ross: Yeah, it's his, uh, innate Alan-ness that-that-that we adore.
Alan-ness ALAN的精神。Ness是个后缀， 在形容词、分词后形成抽象名词，表示 “性质”、“状态”、“精神”、“程度”, Alan-ness就是ALAN的精神。如:bitterness 艰辛, tiredness 疲倦, newness 新奇
innate
[ineit] adj.先天的, 天生的/ adore v.崇拜, 爱慕, (口语)喜爱
Phoebe: I brought you alphabet soup.
Lizzie: Did you pick out the vowels?
alphabet n.字母表[大口elfEbit] / vowel n.元音(发奥音)
pick out v.挑选
Phoebe: Yes. But I left in the Ys. 'Cause, y'know, "sometimes y". Uh, I also have something else for you.这里没有点国外生活的人可能不知道，alphabet soup:母汤是一种罐头汤，里面是切成ABC字母图案的细面条，让小朋友边喝汤边把里面的字母排成单词来玩。而美国儿音背诵元音的口诀是：A, E, I, O, U, sometimes Y. 字母Y是半元音，有时候会当辅音使用，所以Phoebe觉得它不全然算元音，就保留在汤里了，并特意还强调 sometimes Y这个口诀。


Lizzie: Saltines?
……
Lizzie: No, no, I ha-I have to give you something.
Phoebe: Oh, that‘s fine, no.
Lizzie: Would you like my tin-foil hat?
……
Lizzie: ……(To Phoebe) Sure you don‘t wanna pretzel?
这里有一些生词(at least they are new words to me)：saltine：撒盐饼干[sC:l'ti:n]/tin-foil hat：锡箔帽[fCil]
pretzel：一种脆饼干[‘pretsEl]

Phoebe: Okay, alright, you buy me a soda, and then we're even. Okay?
