(Barry and Rachel plan to eat out tonight. )
(貝瑞和瑞秋打算今晚去外面吃飯。)
Rachel: I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat.
Barry: How about Chinese food?
Rachel: Not again! I eat Chinese food in the school cafeteria every day.
Barry: All right, I won't be selfish. You can choose the restaurant.
Rachel: I read a good review of that new Italian restaurant.
Barry: I heard it's expensive. Can't we go somewhere cheaper?
Rachel: Come on, it's the weekend! We should do something special.
Barry: Oh, OK. I've never eaten at an Italian restaurant before.
瑞秋： 我餓了，我們去吃點東西吧。
貝瑞： 中國菜如何？
瑞秋： 別又吃中國菜吧！我每天在學校的自助餐廳都吃中國菜。
貝瑞： 好，我不會只顧自己，妳可以選餐廳。
瑞秋： 我看過那家新的義大利餐廳一篇蠻好的評價。
貝瑞： 我聽說那很貴，我們不能去便宜一點的地方嗎？
瑞秋： 拜託，是週末耶！我們應該做點特別的事。
貝瑞： 喔，好吧。反正我以前從沒在義大利餐廳吃過飯。
(Barry and Rachel are at the restaurant.)
(貝瑞和瑞秋在餐廳裡。)
Barry: The photos in the menu are making my mouth water.
Rachel: I'll get a Caesar salad as an appetizer. My main course will be a plate of spaghetti.
Barry: Those sound great. I'll order the same dishes.
Rachel: I'm happy we decided to come here. Hey, what's wrong?
Barry: All these forks, knives, and spoons confuse me.
Rachel: Actually, it's easy. Just remember one thing: start outside, and work your way in.
Barry: That's a good tip! Let's call over a waiter and order now.
貝瑞： 菜單裡的照片讓我口水直流。
瑞秋： 我開胃菜要點一份凱撒沙拉，主餐要一盤義大利麵。
貝瑞： 聽起來不錯，那我要點一樣的菜。
瑞秋： 我很開心我們決定來這裡。嘿，怎麼了？
貝瑞： 我搞不清楚這所有的叉子、刀子和湯匙。
瑞秋： 事實上，這很簡單。只要記住一件事︰由外而內使用。
貝瑞： 那是個好訣竅！我們現在叫服務生過來點餐吧。

Wind Beneath My Wings
Wind Beneath My Wings
(by Bette Midler)
It must have been cold there in my shadow
在我的影子下，一定很冷吧
To never have sunlight on your face
陽光不曾照在你的臉龐
You were content to let me shine. That's your way.
你總是心滿意足的讓我表現，你就是那樣
You always walked a step behind
你總是走在我身後
So I was the one with all the glory,
因此，我一人獨享所有的榮耀
While you were the one with all the strain
而你卻背負著所有的疲憊
A beautiful face without a name for so long
你有著美麗的臉龐，卻一直默默無名
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
甜美的笑容掩飾了痛苦
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
你可知道你是我心目中的英雄？
And everything I would like to be?
是我想要學習的一切？
I can fly higher than an eagle
如今，
我可以飛得比蒼鷹更高
For you are the wind beneath my wings
因為你是我翼下的風
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
也許是不願被人注意到
But I've got it all here in my heart
但我已了然於心
I want you to know I know the truth
我要你知道一切我都明白
( of course I know it )
（我當然明白）
I would be nothing without you
沒有你，我什麼都不是
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
你可知道你是我心目中的英雄？
You're everything I wish I could be
是我想要學習的一切？
I could fly higher than an eagle
如今，我可以飛得比蒼鷹更高
For you are the wind beneath my wings
因為你是我翼下的風
Did I ever tell you that you're my hero?
我可曾告訴你你是我心目中的英雄？
You’re everything everything I wish I could be?
是我想要成為的一切？
Oh I can fly higher than an eagle
如今，
我可以飛得比蒼鷹更高
For you are the wind beneath my wings
因為你是我翼下的風
For you are the wind beneath my wings
因為你是我翼下的風
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
啊！我翼下的風
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high
飛起來，你讓我展翅高飛
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
你是我翼下的風
You, the wind beneath my wings
你是我翼下的風
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky
飛啊！飛向天際
So high I almost touch the sky
高得幾乎可觸摸到藍天
Thank you, thank you
謝謝你，謝謝你......
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
感謝上天，你是我翼下的風
