進階形容詞比較級句型

As great as Friends was, the show still left us hanging a little too often.

六人行有如以往的好看，節目還是一直在吊我們的胃口

基礎被動語態

From relationships that just kind of vanished to issues that were never fully resolved by

從似乎消失的感情，到未完全被這六位卡司解開的疑惑

反身代名詞

the orange couch crew, even the most ardent Friends fans are left asking themselves at

甚至讓大部分熱情的粉絲，不計次數的追了好幾回的劇

least a few key questions no matter how many times they binge the full series.

With so many dangling threads, it's no wonder fans want a reunion so badly.

留了這麼多的未公布的答案，難怪粉絲很渴望有個六人行大團聚

Here are the biggest unanswered questions from Friends.

這裡有幾個六人行尚未揭曉得答案

Throughout the show, we learn most of the characters' middle names.

在整部影集裡，我們得知多數角色的中間名

With Ross Geller, the subject of his middle name never comes up at all on-screen, but

Ross Geller，他的中間名曾未在節目裡出現過

fans later find out his middle name is Eustace.

但粉絲之後發現他的中間名是 Eustace

That leaves just Monica Geller and Phoebe with giant question marks over their middle

這也讓 Monica Geller 和  Phoebe 對他們的中間名

It might not matter so much if not for the fact that the series actively toys with audiences

要不是因為節目一直用這主題在吊觀眾的胃口

In Season 2, we find out that Monica's middle initial is "E."

在第 2 季，我們發現  Monica 的中間名縮寫是『E』

"I was going by it the other day, and I saw that there was a stock with my initials, MEG,

『我前天在路上走著，看到一隻股票上寫著我的縮寫名，

Then in Season 3, Phoebe decides to make up Monica's middle name when she signs for her

接著在第 3 季， 當 Phoebe 在簽收她的沙發時，她決定幫 Monica

As for Phoebe, well, we might never know her middle name, thanks to her twin sister selling

至於 Phoebe，我們沒人知道她的中間名，多虧她的雙胞胎姐姐

We do at least get a brief bit of middle name resolution when she legally changes her name.

在她合法變更名字時，我們至少得知她的中間名是怎麼來的

『認識一下 Consuela Banana Hammock 公主』

Who knew unstated middle names could be such an irritating open end?

誰會知道未公布的中間名可能會是個擾人的開放性問題？

It would take a pretty meticulous historian to piece together all of the details of Phoebe's

即使這會讓柯南般的粉絲蒐集所有 Phoebe 背景的線索

backstory, and even then, it would be wildly incomplete.

但還是會缺少很多塊，無法拼湊在一起

What we do know is that she and her twin sister were raised by their parents' lover, Lily.

我們所知道的是她和她雙胞胎姊姊是由她們的父母的愛人 Lily 所扶養長大的

The girls' birth mother chickened out on raising the twins, and their biological father abandoned

雙胞胎的生母因膽怯而棄養她們，生父則是

Phoebe's step dad ended up in jail, and Lily ended her life, so Phoebe and Ursula were

Phoebe 的繼父最後被關進監獄，繼母 Lily 則是結束他的生命，剩下 Phoebe 和 Ursula

left to fend for themselves in the streets, and it did not go well.

兩姊妹相依為命，但沒有相處得很好

"I spent my sweet sixteen being chased around a tire yard by an escaped mental patient who

『我慶祝甜蜜 16 歲的方式是在輪胎廢棄廠，被一位逃跑的精神病患著

in his own words wanted to kill me or whatever."

追逐著，他便聲稱要殺我或是要對我怎麼樣』

"I was living in a Gremlin with a guy named Cindy who talked to his hand."

『我當時跟一位 Cindy 的人住在 Gremlin，她會跟自己的手說話』

As an adult, Phoebe marries a gay ice dancer to give him citizenship, eventually moves

長大成人的 Phoebe 嫁給了一位同性戀的冰上舞者，幫他成為國民，最終搬到 Monica

in with Monica, and becomes the lovable little weirdo we meet in Season 1.

的公寓與她住一起，變成了我們在第 1 季看到的可藹可親的小古怪

But despite all that twisted history, there are still a couple of stories Phoebe never

儘管扭曲過的過去，仍然還有幾個故事，Phoebe 在節目上沒有透漏

gets to tell on the show, like who she dated in Europe.

"I had a similar problem when I lived in Prague."

『我住在 Prague 時，有類似的問題』

She also refuses to discuss her rap sheet in front of her friends.

她還不願意在朋友面前討論她的案底

"I gotta tell you, I looked at your record, you've done some pretty weird stuff."

『我得要跟你說，我看過你的紀錄，妳做過了些奇怪的事情』

There's also the matter of how she came to stab a cop.

"Someday I'll tell you about the time I stabbed a cop."

『有一天我會告訴你關於我刺傷了警察的事』

In other words, of all the characters' open ends, we really need to get some kind of Phoebe

換言之，所有角色的故事都有開放性 ，我們真的需要做個

Buffay spin-off series going just to fill in all the crazy blanks that are left by her

Phoebe Buffay 的外傳系列，好讓她那些令人產生的疑問的旁白詞

Emma's sake, and… that's about all we get.

一切都是為了他們的女兒，這是我們所知道的

After ten seasons of random teaser hook-ups, all we get is a few moments of Rachel and

在節目整個 10 季的偷情情節之後，我們看到了 Rachel 和 Ross

Ross reuniting before the whole show is over.

But now, it's not clear what Rachel will do for work.

但至今，還不清楚 Rachel 之後會做什麼工作

She'd accepted a job in Paris after hitting a wall at Ralph Lauren and getting fired from

在 Ralph Lauren 工作踢到鐵板，去 Gucci 面試被發現，丟了前一份的飯碗

It's just coincidence that her old pal Mark passes by in just the nick of time and offers
