　　人物：菲比，钱德勒，罗斯，迈克

　　事件：谈论到婚礼所需的巨大花费，菲比决定索性把办婚礼的钱捐出去。

　　Phoebe: The hall, the dress, the food... I-I had no idea how expensive this stuff¹ was!

　　菲比：场地、礼服、食物……我，我完全不知道这些东西有这么贵！

　　Chandler: Yeah it is really pricey. I mean, I freaked when I first heard the numbers.

　　钱德勒：没错，确实很贵。我是说，我第一次听到那个数字的时候都吓傻了。

　　Phoebe: So what did you two do about it?

　　菲比：那你们是怎么做的？

　　Chandler: It was pretty simple actually. I came up with a couple of cost-cutting solutions, wrote out a list and Monica told me to go to hell².

　　钱德勒：实际上很简单，我想出了一些缩减预算的办法，写了个单子，莫妮卡让我去死。

　　Ross: There's no way around it Pheebs, you just gonna have to accept the fact that this is gonna cost you a lot of money.

　　罗斯：没办法逃避的，菲，你得接受事实，结婚确实会花掉一大笔钱。

　　Mike: I heard that weddings are like a 40 billion dollar a year industry.

　　迈克：我听说每年花在婚礼上的钱能有400亿呢。

　　Ross: Yeah, and I'm responsible³ for just like half of that.

　　罗斯：嗯，这里面有我一半的功劳。

　　Phoebe: But really, it does seem like this money could be put to better use.

　　菲比：但是，说真的，这钱似乎能用在更有意义的事情上。

　　Mike: Are you serious?

　　迈克：你是认真的吗？

　　Phoebe: Yeah! Now, how would you feel if we gave all the wedding money to charity⁴ and we just got married at City Hall?

　　菲比：没错！现在咱们来说说，你说咱们要是把所有的钱都捐给慈善机构，然后在市政厅登记结婚，怎么样？

　　Mike: I think it would make me wanna marry you even more.

　　迈克：我觉得这让我更想娶你了。

　　Ross: I've got to say you guys, that's an incredible⁵ gesture!

　　罗斯：我得承认，二位，这可真是高姿态啊！

　　Chandler: Maybe you do that next time you get married!

　　钱德勒：或者你下次结婚的时候也可以这么做！

　　Ross: No, no, no. The next time it's gonna be a Hawaii at sunset⁶. But maybe the time after that!

　　罗斯：不，不，不。下一次结婚得是在日落时分的夏威夷。但下下次或许可以！
