Ross: No! No! I’m not! It’s-it’s-it’s perfect! I mean it’s better than you just-just moving here, ‘cause it’s us together forever, and that’s-that’s what I want.
Emily: We’ve only known each other for six weeks!
Ross: Yeah, I know, so what? I mean, who’s-who’s to say? Does that mean we-we can’t do it? Look, huh, I was with Carol for four years before we got married and I wound up divorced from a pregnant lesbian. I mean, this, this makes sense for us. Come on! I mean, on our first date we ended up spending the whole weekend in Vermont! I mean, last night I got my ear pierced! Me! This feels right. Doesn’t it?
Emily: My parents are going to be really mad.
Ross: Is that—are you saying yes? Is that yes?
Emily: Yes.
賞析
當(dāng)Ross提出結(jié)婚這個(gè)想法時(shí)，Emily說他瘋了，因?yàn)镋mily與Ross才相識(shí)了六個(gè)星期。Ross覺得相識(shí)的時(shí)間并不是個(gè)問題，他和前妻Carol在結(jié)婚之前可是相處了四年，最后Carol都已懷上了Ross的孩子，可他們還是以離婚告終，因?yàn)镃arol是個(gè)同性戀(Look, huh, I was with Carol for four years before we got married and I wound up divorced from a pregnant lesbian.)。結(jié)婚可是兩個(gè)人的事，所以Ross說：I mean, this, this makes sense for us. make sense 是個(gè)常用的詞組，sense作為名詞的解釋之一就是“意義”，因此 make sense就表示“理解”，“…有意義”，比如：Read this and tell me if it makes sense. 這個(gè)詞組還常常以這樣的形式出現(xiàn)，it makes sense (for somebody) to do something，如：It makes sense to save money while you can.
Ross又接著說服Emily說他們的第一次約會(huì)感覺就很好，結(jié)果兩人跑到佛蒙特州共渡周末去了(Come on! I mean, on our first date we ended up spending the whole weekend in Vermont!)。end up 和先前出現(xiàn)的wind (wound) up 意思差不多，都表示說事情最終以什么樣的一種方式收?qǐng)觯皇莈nd up的結(jié)果往往出人意料，而wind up 的結(jié)果則往往不如人意，例如：
You know you're going to wind up in court over this.
He came round for a coffee and we ended up in bed together.
最后Ross說一向循規(guī)蹈矩的他居然會(huì)為了Emily去穿耳洞（got my ear pierced!），這足以說明他們之間所存在的感覺。Ross的一番話真的是打動(dòng)了Emily，她終于說了Yes。
