Barney: All right. Let's meet your new doppelganger. Or should I say doppel banger.

Ted才發現最近大家對他說的話都有玄機啊!!!!!

[The Bar - Lily/Barney/Robin/Ted]
Wendy: And here's your water, in case you're dehydrated, Ted Mosby.
Ted: Ah, ah, very funny, Wendy. Now we know you watch porn. (She leaves) This Ted Mosby must be getting kind of famous.
Barney: Hmm. You're not wrong. (He looks on his phone) According to the web site, of the far superior Ted Mosby... he's been in the business three months, and he's made 125 movies.
Robin: Wow. That's 42 movies a month. Who is he, Jude Law ? Right ? He makes a lot of movies. I mean, not so much lately, but maybe, like, two years ago, you couldn't go to a movie without...
Ted: Shh.
Barney Oh, hey, look, check it out. Ted Mosby did an interview in Adult Video Weekly.
Ted: Adult Video Weekly ? Oh, no...

[Flashback - The Apartment - Ted/Lily/Marshall]
(The phone ring. Ted pick up the phone)
Ted: Hello ?
Leonard: Hi, I'm looking for Ted Mosby. It's Leonard Ross from AVW.
Ted: Oh my God ! (To Marshall and Lily) AVW ? It's architecture vision weekly. (To Leonard) Wow. I've been reading your magazine since I was a little kid.
Leonard: Well, that's a bummer. Anyway, I'm calling to interview you about your latest project.
Ted: Well, I don't want to say it's my project. I mean, I'll be working with at least three partners.
Leonard: Oh ! Group scene. Always fun.
Ted: Yeah. Yeah. I'm really looking forward to it. I mean, I know they're gonna ride me pretty hard but they're great guys.
Leonard: Guys ? Oh, wouah, there's a scoop.
--
.dehydrate:脫水
呃,因為Ted Mosby是個porn star嘛,所以要常常補水哦^_<

.Jude Law:裘德洛,英國演員,曾獲英國電影和電視藝術學院獎及奧斯卡金像獎提名。

(不過他髮線越來越高倒是真的,放張年輕點的照片好了XDhttp://goo.gl/kr6Lej)

指:真糟糕,that’s sucks ( http://goo.gl/avIN78 )
如果說:He’s a bummer,就是指某人很掃興。

Barney: Don't wait up.
Robin: Guys, guys, guys, check this out. Ted Mosby porn star's bio says his hometown is your hometown. Shaker Heights, Ohio.
Ted: What ? Okay, this is getting creepy. Who, who is this guy ? I gotta find him.
Robin: Well, it's your lucky day. He's gonna be signing autographs tomorrow night in Manhattan at something called the Adult Video Expo.

Marshall和那間公司的老闆用餐。

[At the Restaurant - Marshall/Jeff]
Marshall: You can really taste the beef in that lobster.
Jeff: Right, listen, I know we're only here to screw over my client, who quite frankly deserves it... hum, but I gotta be able to tell the guys upstairs I gave you the spiel, okay ? So, first up, starting salary. (He gives him a paper).
Marshall: Okay. Here we go. This is the big number that's supposed to impress me and... (He looks at the paper) whoa, that's a BIG number.
Jeff: There's also a signing bonus, uh, use of a company car, expense account, blah, blah, blah. Hey, by the way, turn around and wave to Patrick Swayze.
Marshall: Hey, I'm going to, uh, try to remain cool. But you know Patrick Swayze ?!
Jeff: He's a client. Who do you think bought us this wine ? (To Patrick) Crazy, Swayze. Cheers, buddy.
Marshall: Okay, no. Jeff, this is all very impressive, but I just don't think that...
Jeff: Listen, I know, I know. You are not gonna be tempted by big numbers and fancy perks. You're gonna do the noble thing, take the low-paying job at the NRDC, live off you family money.
Marshall: Family money ?
Jeff: You do have family money, don't you ?
Marshall: No, hum, not that I know of. I do have an uncle who owns a, a pretty successful bait shop.
Jeff: NRDC. No family money. Hum. So you don't plan on having kids ?
Marshall: Actually, I want to have four kids.
Jeff: Well. New York public school make a lot of parents nervous, but the kids who walk out, walk out proud.
Narrator: He was surely doing a tough decision. Now, kids, when I'm faced with a tough decision, I like to make a list of pros and cons. Marshall knew all cons. (We see the list. Pros : Money, Security, Swayze. Cons : Evil.) But there is one thing he didn't know, a big guy live in a pros con.

Ted終於見到另一個Ted了!
--
Ted: There he is. Come on, let's go.
Barney: Why do I get so nervous around celebrities?
Ted: Hi, Ted Mosby. I'm Ted Mosby.
Fake Ted: Ted Mosby, it's you.
Ted: Have we met?
Barney: Mr. Mosby, it is an honor to meet you, sir. Starney Binson. Barney Stinson. Damn it.
Fake Ted: We have met. My real name is Steve Biel. When I was in fourth grade, you were in ninth, and, and one day I was out behind the school and a bunch of seventh graders were just beating the crap out of me.
Ted: Oh, yeah, I remember. That was you?
Steve: Yeah, but you pulled them off me. You told them to go pick on someone their own size. I vowed right then that when I made something of myself, I would honor you somehow.
Ted: So you took my name and starred in Welcome To The Sex Truck?
Steve: Yeah.
Ted: Yeah, listen, Ted, you got to stop using my name. I, I'm trying to make a career as an architect.
Steve: Architect, huh? You mean like a sex architect?
Ted: What?
Barney: Yeah, you know, you're on to something. That would make a great title of a film. Ted Mosby, Sex Architect.
Steve: You know, I'm actually looking for a new project to shoot next Friday afternoon.
Ted: Yeah, listen, isn't, isn't there some other way you could honor me? With all due respect.
Steve: Wait, you're not mad, are you? Oh, man, I knew it. My father said, "Just plant a tree in Israel. " I'm such an idiot. I guess I thought you'd be psyched.
Ted: I am. I am; it's just I feel a little guilty because I'm not the one who saved you that day. The guy who actually saved you was named Lance Hardwood.
Barney: Lance Hardwood, yeah.
Steve: Really? You know, you might not know this, but, in my business, that's kind of a killer name.
Ted: Yeah, I guess, I guess it is.
Steve: I can see the poster now. Lance Hardwood, Sex Architect. Starring Ted Mosby.
Barney: I love it.
--
.vow:
誓言
像是wedding vows就是結婚的誓言。(http://goo.gl/sCBNrV)
這個網站有一些參考哦~http://weddings.about.com/cs/bridesandgrooms/a/vowwording.htm


.with all due respect:
以對你該有的尊敬。 due就是應有的。
通常在”With all due respect, ”後,都會講一些比較冒犯、直接的話。
這張圖(http://goo.gl/PZzjiQ)下面的註解很令人玩味,它說:Nothing respectful ever comes after "with all due respect..." XD



.Lance Hardwood:
Lance除了當人名「蘭斯」外,也指長矛。
而Hardwood,如果字面上翻就是硬木頭。
所以,很適合當porn star的名字囉XD

Ted交了新女友-Blahblah XDDDD
這裡Barney介紹了hot-crazy scale哦~
--
[flashback to 'one hour earlier,' Barney, Robin, Ted, Marshall and Lily enter MacLaren's]
Ted: She's gonna tell some bogus story about a cooking class because she's embarrassed we met online.
Marshall: Ay, Chihuahua.
(Everyone sits down at booth)
Ted: What? There's no stigma anymore.
Robin: Oh, there's a stigma. That's why people always say there's no stigma anymore.
Barney: So, she's hot.
Ted: Oh, she's gorgeous.
Barney: Then she's crazy.
Ted: No she's not.
Barney: Ted, the only hot girls that troll the Internet for dudes are crazy, hookers or dudes.
Ted: OK, she's not crazy, she's not a hooker, she's not a dude. Though there's this guy I pass on my work every day who's all three, scares the crap out of me.
Barney: There's no way she's above the line on the hot-crazy scale.
Ted: She's not even on the hot-crazy scale. She's just hot.
Robin: Wait, hot-crazy scale?
Barney: Let me illustrate. (Barney draws with his finger in the air a 90 degree angle as a graph)
A girl is allowed to be crazy ... (Barney writes the word 'crazy' on the x-axis of graph)
... as long as she is equally hot. (Barney writes the word 'hot' on the y-axis of graph)
Thus, if she's this crazy, she has to be this hot. (Barney draws an 'x' on the graph)
If she's this crazy, she has to be this hot. (Barney draws another 'x' up and to the right of the first 'x')
You want the girl to be above this line (Barney draws a line at 45 degree angle)
Also known as the Vicky Mendoza diagonal. This girl I dated, she played jump rope with that line. She'd shave her head ... (Barney draws circle in 'crazy' part of scale)
...then lose ten pounds. (Barney moves his finger to the left into 'hot' part of scale and draws another circle)
She'd stab me with a fork ... (Barney moves his finger higher up on the 'crazy' side of the scale and draws another circle)
... then get a boob job. (Barney moves his finger to the left into the 'hot' side of the scale and draws another circle)
I should give her a call. (Barney reaches into his jacket inside pocket)

.bogus:假的、偽造的

.Ay, Chihuahua(http://goo.gl/wBJo3D)
查到它是一種Mexican Spanish,用來表示驚嘆用的。
而Chihuahua,就是吉娃娃XD


.stigma:瑕疪

.troll:惡作劇、白目(http://goo.gl/p6ZFPx)
在網路用語後常看到。通常也會有種煽風點火、白目的感覺。
troll也是北歐神話的人形精靈,喜歡破壞或惡作劇
troll的字源就是「釣魚」XD
所以如果說good troll,就是很好的釣魚法,使人難以察覺或是無法不讓人回應!



.hot-crazy scale:Barney發明的理論之一XD (http://goo.gl/WfFUK5)



.diagonal:對角線

.stab:刺、捅

Robin: College, good times.
Blah-blah: Oh, I get it. Ted told you I didn't go to college so now you're giving me a cute little backhanded slap.
Barney: Oh, here we go. (Barney claps lightly)
Blah-blah: Well, while you were busy majoring in being freaking beautiful, I was starting my own line of handbags.
Barney: Your own line of handbags? That's crazy.
Blah-blah: These have sold in Japan. Robin, have you ever sold anything in Japan?
Robin: Uh, no, but I would love to buy one of them if ... Where can I get one?
Blah-blah: I don't have a distributor here yet, but thanks for rubbing that in. Why are you trying to undermine me in front of Ted?
Robin: Look, there's nothing going on between me and Ted.
Blah-blah: Wow, that just came out of nowhere.
Robin: No, I'm just saying you don't have anything to worry about.
Blah-blah: I wasn't worried. Are you saying I should be?
Robin: No, I'm saying that you shouldn't be.
Blah-blah: Oh good, 'cause I'm not. Now, Robin, could you just let it go? You're making all of us really uncomfortable.

College students: Chug chug chug chug
(College Marshall is being held upside-down over keg with beer being directly poured into his mouth through spigot)
College Ted: These drunk idiots. Hey, don't drink their two dollar beer. This is a pinot noir from Europe. (College Ted takes College Lily's drink and hands her a glass of wine, College Lily takes a sip of the wine)
College Lily: Oh, it's fruity.
College Ted: Yeah, I cut it with some cranberry juice, it's pretty strong.
College Lily: So, uh, do you have a girlfriend?
College Ted: Yeah. Not sure about the whole long distance thing though. It's like Descartes says, "In order to determine whether we can know anything with certainty, we first have to doubt everything we know." You know?
College Lily: Wow. (College Ted and College Lily start kissing)

.Chug
S01E05時介紹過這個單字。
Chug是用在玩灌酒時,旁邊的人會大喊CHUG CHUG CHUG,就是叫對方灌下去!!!

Robin, Ted: 97, 98, 99, 100!
Lily: 100! We only got to 82 on our honeymoon. (Barney laughs) So, Robin, I've got a guy for you. He's cute, he's funny, he's smart.
Ted: What's his 'but'?
Lily: What do you mean?
Ted: When someone wants to set you up they always tell you the good qualities first but then they leave out their huge flaw.

[flashback to MacLaren's, Barney telling Ted about a girl]
Barney: She's totally hot and really fun. (to himself) But she has a dead tooth.

Robin: I like sports cars but it doesn't mean I wanna push a Ferrari through my vagina
Barney: Shotgun.

Barney: I'm going out, buying eye patches. What are you doing to help score chicks?
Ted: OK, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. People with real game don't need eye patches.
Barney: Oh, Theodore... (Barney takes off his eye patch) ...no no no, you can't spell game without me, and me has the best game.
Ted: Yeah, well, I got so much game, I'm Cornish game hen.
Barney: Oh yeah? I'm the New York state gaming commissioner.
Ted: Well, I'm The Game, well-crafted, keep-you-guessing thriller starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn.
Barney: Wow.
(Marshall walks over to Ted and Barney's booth)
Marshall: Wow. You're here and not in stall two.
Ted: Yeah, so?
Marshall: I may have made some wildly inappropriate homoerotic comments to a gentleman wearing your shoes.
Barney: OK, Marshall.
Marshall: Yes.
Barney: Which one of us has more game?
Marshall: Neither of you guys has any game, right, or else you'd be married like me.
Barney: What?
Marshall: If dating is the game, then marriage is winning the game.
Ted: Yeah, if you're playing in the women's league.
Marshall: You're joking. I have mad game, bra.
Barney: OK. One, we agreed not to ever say 'bra' anymore. It was a good week, we had a lot of fun, but it's over. Two, you've been with Lily for eleven years. You're idea of good game is slapping on a Dr. Seuss hat and flashing two tickets to a Spin Doctors concert.
Ted: I hate to say it, buddy, but you're kinda' irrelevant.
Marshall: What? I am not irrelevant. I know tons of stuff. I could help you guys. I don't wanna be left out.

Barney: Ted, you do not have more game than me. By sheer numbers alone, I win. Come on, dude, you've seen my list.
Marshall: Do you guys wanna hear one of my lines?
Ted: First of all, I did not ask to see that list and I am still horrified. True game is about quality, not quantity. And a quality girl would pick me over you any day.
Marshall: Are you a model? That one's good because it's flattering to the girl.
Barney: Ted, I challenge you to a picking-up-girls Olympiad.
Ted: Fine.
Barney: There will be 26 events spread out over 11 weeks. We will travel to a neutral city where a panel of international judges...
Ted: Or we could just choose a girl and the first one to seal the deal wins.
Barney: That's good too. (Barney looks around and sees blonde girl at bar) How about her?
Ted: You're on.
(Ted and Barney shake hands)
Barney: Before we start, why don't we jot down a few basic ground rules? (Barney hands Ted a pen)
Ted: OK, great. Rule number one, no eye patches or props of any kind.
(Barney gets up while Ted is writing and approaches blonde girl at bar)
Marshall: One time I was with this girl and I tried that model line, and I totally got some over-the-shirt boob action at a Just Say No assembly.
Ted: Just stop. You're bumming everybody out. (Blonde girl slaps Barney) Rule number two, this bet is for one million dollars. (Barney sits back down at booth)
Barney: I win.
Ted: How?
Barney: Oh, I slept with her, about a year ago, I just forgot.
Ted: Oh, well, that doesn't count. The bet started the moment we shook.
Barney: I can't sleep with her again. She hates me.
Ted: Oh, Interesting. Look who just took a commanding lead. Now, with you out of the picture, I can take my sweet time.
Marshall: Ted, she's leaving.
Ted: Get out of my way. (Ted gets up quickly and follows blonde girl)
Barney: By the look of those shoes, here comes your bathroom buddy.
(Guy walks over and hands Marshall a card)
Marshall: Look who's got game. (Marshall puts card in his shirt pocket)

Ted和那個女孩越來越好了;另一方面,Marshall一直想要有參與感XD
--
[INT. MACLAREN'S: Ted and Barney about to sit down at booth, Ted on cell phone]
Ted: Well, have fun in yoga. (Ted puts phone down to say something to Barney) She's strengthening her core. That's gonna be good. (Ted gets back on phone) Yeah, all right. After a while, crocodile. (Ted hangs up phone) You see this. Game face.
Barney: Whatever, Ted.
Ted: Oh, get this, she plays bass in a reggae band. They're having a show this Friday. How cool is that?
Barney: Oh, does she know that one song? Mm-hm chaka, mm-hm chaka. What's that song called? Oh, right, it's called every reggae song.
(Marshall walks over to Ted and Barney)
Marshall: I am not irrelevant. I ran the numbers. If Lily and I have sex twice a week, which, let's be honest, we all know is being conservative. And we've been together for ten years plus seventeen more times on the honeymoon. Minus the two week drought when I said the checker at the grocery store reminded me of a young Lily. Then we have had sex a total of...wait for it...
Barney: Nice.
Marshall: One thousand fifty-three and a half times...my mom called once. But that's more times than Barney has ever had sex and to your point, Ted, Lily is a quality girl. I win. Lawyered.
Barney: Doesn't count.
Marshall: Totally counts.
Ted: You're right, it counts. It counts as one. You've had sex once. How was it?
Marshall: I still matter.
(Marshall walks away)
Barney: OK, Ted, go win the bet. You have my blessing. She's a wonderful girl. I should know.
Ted: Oh, OK, OK, I see what you're doing.
Barney: We've never shared a woman, have we, Ted? Isn't that funny? You're with her now, I was with her a year ago. You figure for her, that's like 200 showers ago. You gotta ask yourself, Ted, is 200 enough?
Ted: You know what, I don't mind.
Barney: No, of course you don't mind. Just like the second guy to climb Mt. Everest didn't mind getting all the way to the top only to find Sir Edmund Hilary's flagpole thrust into its supple peak. (Ted has a disgusted look on his face) No, I'm sure when you're with her I'll be the furthest thing from your mind. Kissing what I've already kissed. Nuzzling what I've already nuzzled. Going (lowers head slightly and shakes it vigorously) on what I've already gone (lowers head again slightly and shakes it vigorously) on.
Ted: Barney, I'm not afraid of catching your cooties, OK?
Barney: Really? Ted's not afraid of cooties. OK, well then I guess you'd have no problem having a sip of my gin and tonic. (Barney holds out his drink to Ted)
Ted: Fine. (Ted takes drink and brings it up to his mouth and puts it down on the table)
Barney: And I only stirred that with my pinky.

How I Met Your Mother S03E03 - Third Wheel

本集討論...Ted可能可以拿到"Tricycle" belt!!!??? XD

IMDB:
Ted has a chance for a threesome with two women, but Barney and Lily try to sabotage it. Meanwhile, Robin's date also goes better than expected, if only she can find a razor.

Ted突然打電話跟Barney說他將要拿到"THE BELT"!!!
--
[flashback to 'less than half an hour ago,' Barney and Marshall are playing Wii tennis in the living room]
Marshall: Yes, advantage Ericksen.
Barney: Don't get cocky. Wimbledon lasts a fortnight.
Marshall: Fortnight. British words are so cool. Plus, did you know lawyers there get to wear wigs? I wear a wig to work, I'm a jackass.
(Ted enters the living room from his bedroom)
Ted: All right, I'm ready, let's hit it.
Marshall: Can't go. Tournament.
Ted: What? We agreed, I suited up.
Barney: You take too long to get ready
Ted: What are you talking about? I got the low-maintenance, just-rolled-out-of-bed look.
Marshall: Yeah, which takes an hour and a half of waxing, tugging and teasing to achieve.
Barney: And then he starts on his hair. Ace.
Ted: Ha ha ha ha. Look, are we going or not?
Barney: Just go without us, we'll be there in five minutes.
Ted: Really?
Barney, Marshall: Yes.
Ted: All right, going down to the bar and ordering three beers, I'll see you in five minutes. (Ted opens front door to leave. holding up appropriate number of fingers) 3 beers, 5 minutes.
(Ted leaves, Marshall and Barney make strange finger movements mocking Ted's)
--
因為Barney和Marshall在打Wii的網球,這裡開始會有很多英式用語和網球用語。

.advantage
在網球術語中,如果比賽到了40:40的階段,此時稱作deuce,即平手。
此時,兩人需連取兩分,才能拿下那局。
而如果有人在deuce之後先拿下一分,就稱為advantage;像這裡是Marshall advantage Barney.

.cocky:臭屁

.fortnight:
英式用法,指兩星期。
Marshall覺得很酷,因為不用說two weeks直接說fortnight就可以表達兩星期了XD

.wig:
假髮,特指英國系統法官、律師所戴的那種。
記得S02最後Lily和Marshall婚禮上,他們要找的那種叫作toupee,兩個是不一樣的哦!
因為這種假髮配上黑袍給人莊嚴、禮儀化的感覺,也是英國司法系統的象徵。很多法官和律師都只有一頂假髮,因為他們認為假髮越舊代表在法律界的資歷越高。
詳細的可以看wiki:http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/假髮

.jackass
混蛋、蠢蛋。
但這裡有種很跩的意思

.tug:用力拉

.tease:梳理

.Ace:
Excellent! very good!
也因為M和B在玩網球,Ace剛好也在網球比賽直接發球得分的意思。
也就是Barney補Ted一刀,兩人覺得整個完勝Ted的感覺XD

Ted一個人在Bar遇到了Trudy。
記得嗎The pineapple incident的那位XDDD
--
[flashback to 'about 2 years ago', Ted and Trudy making out in his room and then back to present scene]
Trudy: I slept with you, then climbed down the fire escape?
Ted: That was you? Kidding. I was super wasted ... that night. These are not all for me. (Trudy sitting at bar, Ted talking to her) No, I was gonna call you but I was so embarrassed.
Trudy: You were embarrassed? I was like, I really like this guy and now I'm climbing out his window. (Ted laughs) And I forgot my underwear.
Ted: Those were yours? I thought they felt kinda tight. Kidding, I don't wear underwear, ladies underwear. Often. Again, I'm kidding.
Trudy: I am so glad I ran into you.
Ted: I know, do you wanna get a ... (Ted gets interrupted by Rachel who just notices Trudy)
Rachel: Trudy, no way!
Trudy: Oh my God, Rachel, how are you? (Rachel and Trudy scream and hug) Ted, this is Rachel.
Rachel: Hi.
Rachel, Trudy: Kappa Epsilon Gamma! Whoo!
Ted: Let me guess, you guys met in prison.
Rachel: No, we're sorority sisters.
Trudy: And best friends forever, all sophomore year.
Rachel: When we weren't at each other's throats.
Trudy: We could be so competitive. But that's all behind us now.
Rachel: (singing and dancing) Hey, mista...
Rachel, Trudy: (Trudy joins in singing and dancing) ... hey mista, stay away from my sista.
Trudy: We have so much catching up do to. (Trudy and Rachel walk away from Ted together)
Rachel: OK, are you going to Stacy's wedding?
Trudy: Oh, it's off, apparently he's into dudes.
Rachel: No! Again? That's like her third one.
Trudy: I know.
Ted: Well, beers, what do you want to do? Stay here, or I know this other place called my belly.
(Rachel returns to Ted)
Rachel: So, Trudy and I got a table.
Ted: Oh, that's cool, I was gonna get outta here anyway, I'm really tired.
Rachel: But I want you to stay.
Ted: Tired of people who fold early 'cause I am wide awake. (Rachel laughs and heads back to her table, Ted turns to his beers and picks them up) OK, guys, be cool.
--
.wasted:超醉
哎喲我找了Barney + wasted,結果居然跑出這張圖啦XDDDDhttp://www.funri.com/img/1ebcf_barney.jpg



.Kappa Epsilon Gamma
這是一個虛構的Sorority,可看一條解釋:

.sorority:姐妹會(http://goo.gl/xYJZ4U)
另一個常見的:fraternities,兄弟會。
我們看到上面他們說的Kappa Eplison Gamma,兄弟會或姐妹會都會有希臘字母命名,所以有些人會稱這類社團為希臘社團(Greek Organization)
雖然有些是課業取向,但多半以人際關係為主,兄弟會只招男性、姐妹會只招女性。
要入會有一定的考驗,通過考驗才能入會,而且這種考試似乎會保密。
可以看看wiki的介紹:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/兄弟會與姊妹會


也可搭配這個影片來看XDDDhttp://forgetfulbc.blogspot.com/2012/03/hd_7804.html

.sophomore:二年級生
學生的話,尤其是高中以後,就可以直接這樣說。
高一:freshman、高二:sophomore、高三:senior
而大學則是在大三插入了junior。
非常實用的英文哦:D
不過也有人提到,這比較屬於美式英文,如果到了英國或其他地方,可能換成first, second, third...等等比較合適。(如果有人確定也麻煩跟我說一下,謝謝:D)

Trudy和Rachel兩人都對Ted很有意思,到底Ted要怎麼辦~~~
--
[Lily enters front door of apartment]
Lily: Well, he's right, it's a dead heat.

[Trudy and Rachel both get closer to Ted]
Trudy: Two.

[Lily continues walking into apartment]
Lily: Neither one is giving ground. I could not tell who was the third wheel.

[Rachel and Trudy both put their hand on Ted's leg]
Trudy: Three

[INT. MEN'S RESTROOM. Ted on cell phone]
Ted: It's a tricycle.
(Barney on phone)
Barney: No way, no way, no way!
Marshall: What's happening?
(Barney passes phone to Marshall)
Ted: It's a tricycle.
Marshall: No way, no way, no way. It's a tricycle.
Lily: Well, I'll just say it right now, all sorority girls are sluts.
Barney: Put him on speaker. So what you're saying to us right now is you have a shot at the belt?
Marshall: Wait wait wait, what belt?
Ted: Barney and I have this running joke that the first guy to actually pull this off would win the championship belt.
Marshall: Oh, so it's a metaphorical belt, right?
--
.dead heat:不分勝負、平手、競爭激烈

.give ground:退縮

.third wheel:電燈泡(http://goo.gl/NzirjQ)
欸英文是從腳踏車的意象來的。因為腳踏車通常只有兩個輪子,所以第三個輪子就代表多餘,也就是中文說的「電燈泡」的意思。
也有人會說:the third arm



.tricycle:三輪車(http://goo.gl/q18jhz)
這裡當然不是說三輪車XD
我們剛說,英文的電燈泡叫作third wheel。不過,如果三個人都很重要呢?就變三輪車了!XD
其實是很委婉的threesome(3P)的意思。
在查這個用法時,其實很多人都提到這是從HIMYM出來的句子,可以顯示HIMYM對流行文化真的超重要啊XD



噢所以回來這集了,這集的標題叫作:Third Wheel
就是因為:
.這集談到Threesome
.這是第三季
.這是第三季的第三集

難道真的有那條belt嗎!!!XD
--
[flashback to Barney removing a large belt from a box]
Barney: Behold.
Ted: You actually bought a belt.
Barney: That's right, it's resplendent.
Ted: It's just a thing we said, we were kidding around.
Barney: I never kid. Remember you said if I ever slept with that girl from Days of our Lives, I'd be the king? Well... (Barney pulls a crown out of the box and puts it on his head)

[back to present scene]
Marshall: Why wasn't I told about the belt? I could go for the belt. If Lily were to die before me, then I could ride the tricycle.
Lily: If I died, I'd just come back and haunt your penis.
Ted: Guys, come on, help me out. What do I do?
Barney: All right, Ted, if you're about to go for the belt, then the bylaws require me to ask the following questions. One, is the aggregate age of all the participants under 83?
Ted: Yes.
Barney: Two, is the aggregate weight of all participants under 400 pounds.
Ted: Yes.
Barney: Theodore Mosby, are you paying these women?
Ted: What? No.
Barney: Ted?
Ted: No. Look, I gotta go. They're gonna think I inherited my dad's imaginary bathroom issues.(Ted hangs up)
--
.behold:你看!!!(http://goo.gl/PJld1p)



.resplendent:燦爛的

.Days of our Lives:
《我們的日子》,美國的NBC電視台製播的一部日間肥皂劇,仍在播的超級長壽電視劇(since 1965),每星期播一次。
《Friends》迷絕對不陌生,Joey也曾演過其中的Dr. Drake Ramoray XDDD (http://goo.gl/A22v9x)



.bylaws:(英國地方自治單位的)地方法

.aggregate:總計

.inherit:繼承、遺傳

Ted帶了兩位女士回家,沒想到進房間卻看到....
--
Ted: What are you guys doing here? I've got, I've got...
Lily: We know, we know, Ted. Well done, this is very impressive. Up top. (Lily and Ted high-five)
Marshall: Yeah bro, up top. (Marshall puts his hand up)
Lily: Oh, don't be gross. (Lily puts Marshall's hand down)
Ted: You guys need to get out of here right now. Please, take the fire escape.
Marshall: No, no way. The other day I saw a pigeon take a crap on it and the whole thing shifted.
Lily: Oh, you can use our bedroom.
Ted: OK, all I need to seal the deal is the Wilco CD...Barney. (Barney picks up CD from Ted's bedside table and snaps it in half) What are you doing?
Barney: I cannot allow Ted to do this.
Ted: Why, why?
Barney: Because the belt is my birthright. You can't claim it before I do. That would be like Jimmy Olsen capturing Lex Luther while Superman watches impotently from the bedroom.
Marshall: But Barney, you've done way dirtier stuff than Ted. You're disgusting.
Barney: I've never ridden the tricycle. I was on the verge last year, it was so close.

[flashback to Barney sitting in a living room with two girls]
Barney: So, ladies, why don't we move this party to a more horizontal location? (Barney leans closer to Blonde Girl and accidentally knocks over wine glass and spills red wine on white carpet)
Blonde Girl: Oh my God. My new carpet. Oh my God, this is a disaster, You get the carpet cleaner, I'll get a towel.
Brunette Girl: OK. (Blonde Girl and Brunette Girl get up)
Barney: I'll get the video camera.
Blonde Girl: Get out!
Barney: OK then.

[back to present scene]
Ted: Let me get this straight. You're gonna trike block me? That is so petty. It's like you're...
Marshall: Tom Petty.
Ted: Tom Petty. You're Tom Petty. (Ted turns around and sees his door open and Lily not in his room anymore) Where's Lily? (Ted walks out of his room to find Lily standing, looking at girls on couch, Ted pushes her into his room) Still looking for that CD, so... (Ted goes back into his room) What are you doing?
Lily: I knew it. I had a hunch about that girl and I was right.
--
.seal the deal:達成協議、完成交易
seal有印章、蓋章的意思,deal則表示交易、協定。以前談成交易要蓋章。
這張圖在玩雙關,因為seal也是海獅~海獅壞壞~~~(http://goo.gl/OZXCw2)



.birthright:生來就有的權利

.Jimmy Olsen:
DC Comics的角色,是超人的好朋友。

.Lex Luther:
DC Comics的超級反派角色,目標是以殺死超人來作為支配世界的跳板。
(原來我看過這個角色!!!PAD最近合作地城XDDD http://goo.gl/6xPnAk)



.impotently:無力的、虛弱的

.verge:邊緣

.Tom Petty:
美國音樂人、歌手。
為何要講到他?
是因為Ted上一句說:"You're gonna trike block me? That is so petty. It's like you're..."
......然後Marshall就很冷接了"Tom Petty"

.hunch:預感

Robin和very cute doctor約會,但她之前為了要矜持點,所以沒有刮腿毛...
--
[INT. RESTAURANT: Waitress stands at Robin's table, Robin looks through brown paper bag]
Robin: Where's the shaving cream?
Waitress: Well, you didn't ask me for shaving cream.
Robin: Well, it was implied. Who buys a razor without buying shaving cream?
Waitress: Well, who doesn't shave their legs for her date?
Robin: Well, who's not getting a tip because of her attitude?
Waitress: Well, here's a little tip for you. Shave your legs before you leave the house, Sasquatch.
Robin's date: Hey Robin, the valet's brought the car around. I thought we'd go back to my place. You in the mood for a night cap?
Robin: Absolutely. I just have to go to the ladies room. I've got TB...tiny bladder. I'll meet you out front?
Robin's date: Yeah.
(Robin walks into the ladies room, puts her purse down on the sink counter and takes out the razor from her bag, Robin props her right foot on the counter and unzips her boot, grabs the soap and pumps it but no soap comes out)
Robin: You've gotta be kidding me. (Robin walks out into the restaurant with her right boot still down, grabs the butter from the nearest table) Excuse me.
(Robin heads back to the ladies room with the butter, props right foot back up on the counter, rubs butter over her right leg and begins to shave, slips and falls backwards)
--
.implied:不言而喻的
意思是說:我請你去幫我買刮刀,你理所當然會連刮泡一起買才對

應該是我第四次介紹這個單字了XD (http://goo.gl/IAoeYS)



.valet:男僕、隨從(http://goo.gl/MLbWFJ)
就是代客泊車的服務生。


.TB:
有很多簡稱,這裡醫師應該是誤以為是Tuberculosis,肺結核
但其實Robin說的是Tiny Bladder,小膀胱
