107 停电
纽约全城停电。钱德碰巧被困在一间24小时ATM自助服务厅里，
名模吉儿碰巧也被困当中。
钱德有心无胆，空欢喜一场。
其余五人呆在莫妮卡和瑞秋家。
丑陋裸男点了很多蜡烛。
罗斯决心向瑞秋表白时遭到一只猫的攻击。
瑞秋和菲比替猫找寻主人，遇到“怪人”海先生（他将在今后的剧集中出现）。他声称他就是猫的主人，但显然他在撒谎。
原来猫的主人叫保路，是这栋楼里居住的意大利大块头男人，他不大会讲英语。瑞秋和保路一见钟情，打得火热。

光明节与九座烛台:光明节为期八天，约在每年十二月初，是为了纪念当初犹太祖先夺回耶路撒冷圣殿，当时在圣殿献灯的灯油，原本只能燃烧一天，最后却燃烧了八天的奇迹。犹太人会从光明节第一天起，在九座烛台上依次由右至左，一天插上一支蜡烛，直到第八天八根蜡烛一起为止，而中央的蜡烛则是专供引火之用。过节期间，亲友都会团聚一堂，目睹点燃烛火并一起祷告。而Joey 把这些具有宗教意义的烛台点燃，只为了应付停电之需，跟它本身神圣的意义形成强烈的对比，所以Ross 才开玩笑称他为“犹太教士（拉比）”Rabbi。

(They all look at the window, grossed out***, then flinch in pain.)

OK, senior year of college... on a pool table.常常在英语角碰到人介绍自己时候说是Grade one or two之类的，其实大学几年级有更地道的说法，freshman->一年级，sophomore->二年级，junior->三年级，senior->大四，研究生是postgraduate,博士生是phd，还有人往往介绍自己直博了，个人认为如下说法比较合适:be nominated to be a phd candidate directly,在有些学校介绍硕博连读的网页上，还有如下表述direct-promotion program for PHD diploma..还常常有ABD来代表在读的博士生或者准博士。值得注意的是国外大学一般很少有授予硕士学位，不像国内。
All: Whoooaa!
Ross: That's my sister.
Joey: OK... my weirdest place would have to be... the women's room女厕所 on the second floor of the New York CIty public library.

Ross: Probably. But you know, I'll tell you something. Passion is way overrated激情被过度重视.
overrate v.对……估价过高/ Passion is way overrated:Rachel说了自己对于Passion的看法，Ross认为她过高估计了Passion,什么是Passion?Passion是一种非常强烈的感情，炽热的激情，不仅仅是喜爱，也可以是憎恨、厌恶。例如：He's been known to fly into a passion without warning.意思是他以动不动就发火而闻名。Way overrated,overrate对什么估计高了，前面加上一个way，就是估计的过高了的意思，way这里作副词，表示远远地、大大地。记得在《Sleepless in Seattle》里面，出现了一个way stupid，意思是太蠢了，蠢的够可以。
Rachel: Yeah right.
Ross: It is. Eventually, it kind of... burns out. But hopefully, what you're left with is trust, and security, and... well, in the case of my ex-wife, lesbianism. So, you know, for all of those people who miss out on that passion... thing, there's all that other good stuff.
