第五十三篇

在上一篇中我们讲到Rachel想知道Joey在约会时会有哪些moves, 现在就让我们来听听：

Joey: Oh alright. Umm, well, okay, I usually start by having a bottle of wine sent to my table from a fan.
Rachel: Oh my God. And that works?
Joey: Well it does when you combine it with, "This is so embarrassing, I just want to have a normal life!"
Rachel: Oh, you poor little famous man.
Joey: Oh okay, how about this one. I was gonna wait until the end of the night to kiss you, but you’re so beautiful…I don’t think I can.
Rachel: Oh my God! Wow! That was fantastic, I almost leaned in. I really almost did!

【世博视角】

Joey是个演肥皂剧(soap opera)的小演员，虽然没啥名气，但这个特定的职业还是会让一些女孩子对他感兴趣的，而他也十分善用这个优势，比如在约会时他会让人以影迷的名义送一杯酒过来（I usually start by having a bottle of wine sent to my table from a fan.）也真亏Joey想得出这种伎俩，不过Rachel在惊奇之余还有些怀疑，女孩子们真的会吃他这一套？于是她问Joey：Oh my God. And that works? work这个词相信大家都知道吧，不过当你要表示某种方法行之有效时，你会不会想到用它呢？

光让人送一杯酒过来可能还不是十分有效，所以Joey每次还要说上这么一句："This is so embarrassing, I just want to have a normal life! （这真让人受不了，我只想过普通人的生活）" 怎么样，此话一出非同凡响吧？不过这话骗骗别的女孩子还行，Rachel可是太了解Joey了，所以她有些戏谑地回应说：Oh, you poor little famous man.(名人难做啊)。Joey一看Rachel对于这招不怎么感冒，又来一招更绝的，只听到他充分发挥演员的本领，深情款款地说到：I was gonna wait until the end of the night to kiss you, but you’re so beautiful…I don’t think I can.(我本打算到最后才吻你的，可你如此美丽，让我情不自禁)。听着听着，Rachel像着了迷似的，居然有点向Joey凑了过去，然后忽然醒捂道：Oh my God! Wow! That was fantastic, I almost leaned in. I really almost did! Rachel差点就凑上去等着Joey吻她了！
