Friends the TV Show Friends is a popular TV show that is made up of ten seasons from 1994 to 2004. I've seen a lot of people recommend it to English learners. Its standard American accent, idiomatic oral expressions and full presentation of American daily life makes it a good material not only for learning American English, but for knowing about American culture as well. Beyond all these, the show itself is funny enough and worthy of watching. Here is some notes I took after half-day watching: decaf n. 无咖啡因咖啡 bridesmaid n. 伴娘 strip joint n. 脱衣舞酒吧 turn on v.t. 使感兴趣 dear dairy moment 甜蜜时刻 cave-in n. 塌陷 convertible 有活动摺篷的汽车 virgin n. 新手 opening line n. 开场白 go out with me 和我约会 mashed potatoes n. 土豆泥 tater tots n. 炸土豆块 slap in the face n. 打脸，羞辱 for your information n. 提醒你一下 I said something i didn't mean 讲了一些错话，for apology I'm don't want to start the new year with you if I can't finish it.
