美剧《老友记》中圣诞节的英语 口语对话

　　《老友记》第二季第九集英语 口语对话剧情简介：莫妮卡和瑞秋为了省钱，做了些饼干代替圣诞节小费，支付给报童、邮差跟治理员等等。结果送来的报纸撕裂了，邮包也砸坏了。她们的暖气关不掉了，电工也不修理，她们猜忌他也在为没收到钱而负气。诚然室内温度很高，瑞秋和莫妮卡照样举行了盛大的圣诞派对。

　　罗斯想跟瑞秋重修旧好。他倡导她也列一张他的弊病表。当她真的开了单子，罗斯又对她的抱怨感到怀疑不解。

　　菲比发现她对生父的理解(甚至连照片)都全是谎言。她祖母说切实她生父住得不远，于是菲比带上钱德和乔伊去探访父亲。到门口了她却说，我还没准备好!钱德和乔伊只得在圣诞前夜才忙着节日洽购。英语　口语对话内容如下：
