Ross: No! No! I’m not! It’s-it’s-it’s perfect! I mean it’s better than you just-just moving here, ‘cause it’s us together forever, and that’s-that’s what I want.

Emily: We’ve only known each other for six weeks!

Ross: Yeah, I know, so what? I mean, who’s-who’s to say? Does that mean we-we can’t do it? Look, huh, I was with Carol for four years before we got married and I wound up divorced from a pregnant lesbian. I mean, this, this makes sense for us. Come on! I mean, on our first date we ended up spending the whole weekend in Vermont! I mean, last night I got my ear pierced! Me! This feels right. Doesn’t it?

Emily: My parents are going to be really mad.

Ross: Is that—are you saying yes? Is that yes?

Emily: Yes.

赏析

当Ross提出结婚这个想法时，Emily说他疯了，因为Emily与Ross才相识了六个星期。Ross觉得相识的时间并不是个问题，他和前妻Carol在结婚之前可是相处了四年，最后Carol都已怀上了Ross的孩子，可他们还是以离婚告终，因为Carol是个同性恋(Look, huh, I was with Carol for four years before we got married and I wound up divorced from a pregnant lesbian.)。结婚可是两个人的事，所以Ross说：I mean, this, this makes sense for us. make sense 是个常用的词组，sense作为名词的解释之一就是“意义”，因此 make sense就表示“理解”，“…有意义”，比如：Read this and tell me if it makes sense. 这个词组还常常以这样的形式出现，it makes sense (for somebody) to do something，如：It makes sense to save money while you can.

Ross又接着说服Emily说他们的第一次约会感觉就很好，结果两人跑到佛蒙特州共渡周末去了(Come on! Imean, on our first date we ended up spending the whole weekend in Vermont!)。end up 和先前出现的wind (wound) up 意思差不多，都表示说事情最终以什么样的一种方式收场，只是end up的结果往往出人意料，而wind up 的结果则往往不如人意，例如：

You know you're going to wind up in court over this.

He came round for a coffee and we ended up in bed together.

最后Ross说一向循规蹈矩的他居然会为了Emily去穿耳洞（got my ear pierced!），这足以说明他们之间所存在的感觉。Ross的一番话真的是打动了Emily，她终于说了Yes。
