Phoebe: All right, I'd better go too. I have to go talk to my dad.
Rachel: Ooh, Pheebs, what are you gonna say? Are you gonna tell him who you are?
Phoebe: Umm, no, not at first 'cause I-I don't want to freak him out
Ross: Well, but aren't you pissed at him?! I mean this guy abandoned you! I gotta tell you if this were me, this guy would be in some serious physical danger! (Getting worked up) I mean I-I-I'd walk in there and I'd be like, "Yo, dad! You and me outside right now!" I kinda scared myself.

菲比：好了，我要走了，我得和我爸爸去谈谈。
瑞秋：噢，菲比，你要和他谈什么？你会告诉他你是谁吗？
菲比：不，一开始不会，我不想吓着他。
罗斯：可你难道不生他气吗？这个人可是把你可遗弃了呀！告诉你如果是我的话，这个人可就惨了，我会走进去说: “你，爸爸，我们俩出去解决!”我好像把自己给吓着了。

【世博视角】

说到对某人很生气，你肯定马上会想到说be angry with sb, 或者be mad at sb，但如果你被自己的亲生父亲所遗弃，那么用以上两个表达法是不是就不足以表达你的愤怒之情了？说不定你会想在他身上撒泡尿来解气呢，这就是piss at sb 的意思，piss的本意就是“撒尿”，是一个不太礼貌的用语。此外，我们还可以说piss（somebody）off，例如：

The way she treats me really pisses me off.
It really pisses me off when you talk like that.

男人们一旦被激怒很可能就会想要打架，有的会说“走，我们出去解决问题”，也就是对话中罗斯所说的you and me outside。这句话很有点挑衅的味道，所以万一你要说的话，最好像罗斯那样有点气势，说不定还能唬住对方呢。
