老友記S102
1.take the heat off me
heat，h-e-a-t，妳肯定知道它是熱量的意思。除此以外，他還有什麽意思呢？如果想不到我說兩個中文詞妳感受壹下：火燒眉毛、熱鍋上的螞蟻。這兩個情景下我們都會非常急，壹急壓力就特別大。所以heat在這裏就是壓力pressure的意思。take the heat off me就是幫我減壓，用現在流行的話說就是幫我擋槍的意思。劇中Ross和Monica這對兄妹的父母對哥哥很滿意，但對在餐館工作的妹妹各種不滿，總是會說壹些陰陽怪氣的話，Monica就像哥哥求救讓他跟父母坦白妻子已經出軌並且分開了的事情，這時她對Ross說：Because I think it might take some of the heat off me.?
如果妳是單身，過年的時候壹定會被七大姑八大姨各種追問：找男朋友沒啊？這時候妳就使了個顏色給妳表姐，然後問她；”表姐，妳結婚都壹年了，什麽時候生娃啊。“這種情況就是： I asked my elder sister to take the heat off me.
2. have a thing for you 對妳有感覺
Ross的爸媽驕傲的提到Ross曾經被別人喜歡，爸爸就說：You remember the Lugwin's? The big one had a thing for you，did't she?媽媽傲嬌的恢復說：They all had a thing for him！（註意語氣）這裏的had a thing for sb就表示對某人有感覺，可以替換like。下次如果有人跟妳說I have a thing for you可不要天真的以為他是有東西要給妳啊。除以此外我們還可以用have a crush on sb 表示同樣的意思。
3.?shoot for the stars
下面我們來看看第三個和第四個表達，shoot for the stars 和 sastified with staying?where they are
前面說到他們很欣賞哥哥，而對妹妹不是很滿意。這裏爸爸就說：Look, there are people, like Ross, who need to shoot for the stars. Other people are satisfied with staying where they are.
第三個表達就是shoot for the stars就表示誌向遠大的意思。有壹個有名的英語句子：If you shoot for the stars, you'll at least hit the moon. 如果妳的目標是星星，如果失敗了，妳也會在月亮上。我們都知道月亮最大最亮因為它是離我們最近的行星，而星星則遠的多。所以目標是星星的話要難得多。
單獨的短語 shoot for 是爭取，為...努力。和 aim for 是壹個意思
shoot for/at something:to try to achieve a particular aim, especially one that is very difficult
比如我們公司力爭今年增加50的銷售額就可以說：We are shooting for a 50% increase in sales in this financial year.
和shoot for the stars相反的人呢就是satisfied with staying where they are，滿足於待在原地的人，字幕組翻譯的是安於現狀，非常貼切了。我們可以註意下where they are這種簡單但是卻很實用的表達。
4安於現狀 satisfied with staying where they are
5. get a credit
劇中Ross的老婆發現自己是同性戀就和Ross分開，和自己的女朋友在壹起了。但後來發現自己壞了Ross的孩子，於是要Ross壹起陪她到醫院做檢查。在醫院裏，Ross和前妻的女朋友因為孩子取什麽名字爭吵了起來，Ross生氣的說She gets a credit. Hey, I'm in there too.這裏credit表示有功勞，贊揚;稱贊;認可；
比如想說把功勞攬在他自己身上不對：It would be wrong for him to take all the credit .
好了，今天的五個表達就學完了，我們來回顧壹下：1. take the heat of me 2. have a thing for sb. 3.shoot for the stars 4 satisfied with staying where they are 5 get a credit
That's all for today. Thank you for listening. See you next time. Bye-bye.
