[미드로 영어공부] <굿플레이스> 시즌1 에피소드3 (Part 1/4)

Chidi: So Aristotle was Plato's student. And Aristotle believes that your character is voluntary. Because it's just the result of your actions, which are under your control. For example, right now, you have made the insane choice to ignore the person who is literally trying to save you from eternal damnation[a state of being doomed to eternal punishment in Hell].
Eleanor: No! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm listening. Uh, I just... Are we sure we should be paying attention to these guys? It's like, "who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics?"
Chidi: Plato...

Eleanor: Uh... Coming! Uh, we're just... kissing! And groping[touch gently in a loving manner for sexual pleasure]!?
Chidi: What?

Tahani: Hello!
Chidi: Tahani! Hi. What brings you here?
Tahani: You know, I was just, uh... In the neighborhood! Do you get it, Eleanor? Because, you know, we're all in the same afterlife, so, you know, I'm always in the neighborhood. Do you get it?
Eleanor: And I do, and it's delightful.
Tahani: Anyway, this is for you. Just a housewarming plant. "housewarming gift"[a gift that celebrates moving into a new residence]라는 표현의 gift자리에 구체적으로 plant를 넣었어요. "housewarming"이라는 단어는, 사람이 살지 않던 새 집에 들어가면, 친구들이 집들이를 와서 붐빔으로써, 차가운 새 집을 데워주는 모습을 연상시키는 단어에요 It's a little reminder that if there's ever anything that you need, I am right next door.
Eleanor: How could I possibly forget? Have a great day, Tahani!
Tahani: Oh, all right.

Eleanor: Ugh... Tahani... "Welcome to the neighborhood. Even though we all arrived here at the same time, here's some dirt I put in a bowl because I'm amazing."
Chidi: I thought it was kind of a nice gesture.
Eleanor: Oh, Chidi... It's a total con[an act of deceiving by telling something not true]! I see through[comprehend the true nature of] her little act.
Chidi: Her act of being a nice person who brings you gifts?
Eleanor: Bingo.
Chidi: Okay. I'll... I'll remind you that you're trying to learn how to be a good person. Maybe, you should return the favor and bring her something.
Eleanor: Oh, so, now I'm supposed to be nice and make friends and treat her with mutual respect?
Chidi: Yeah.
Eleanor: That`s exactly what she wants me to do, Chidi. Wake up!
Chidi: That... That's what everyone wants everyone to do.

Michael: Hello, Chidi. No frozen yogurt for you this morning?
Chidi: Oh, uh, no. Just, uh, doing some reading.
Janet: Ugh. Been there, brother. Workin' hard or hardly workin', am I right? Hump day[Wednesday]! 수요일을 "hump day"라고 하는 이유는, 근무를 하는 날인 "월화수목금" 요일에서 중간에 있기 때문이에요. 직장인은, 이 날만 넘기면 절반이 넘게 지나간 거고, 곧 주말이 온다고 느끼는 거죠
Michael: Uh, sorry. Janet's functioning as my assistant. But she's a little stiff. So I've been trying to get her to be a little more casual and conversational.
Janet: I'll have what she's having.
Michael: It's a work in progress. Listen, Chidi. I've been studying your file. You're a very interesting case. You essentially only did ''one thing'' while you were on earth. You thought and wrote about ethics.
Chidi: Yes, I... I spent 18 years working on my manuscript called "Who We Are and Who We Are Not... colon... Practical Ethics and Their Application in the Modern World... semi-colon... a Treatise..."
Michael: Yes, yes, yes. That`s... That's the one. That's the one. I think you should experience... new adventures. You know, do things that you haven't done on earth, right? So why don't we meet tomorrow and try out some new hobbies.
Chidi: Uh, why not? I'll... I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Janet: Not if I see you first. Where's the beef?
Michael: I don't know.
Janet: Hump day.

Tahani: Hello, Eleanor. Jianyu, darling, look. It's Eleanor from next door.
Eleanor: Is he asleep?
Tahani: Yeah, there's really no way to tell. Come on in. What brings you to our home, my dear?
Eleanor: Well, I'm simply repaying your kind gift with a housewarming gift of my own. Fresh pears. It's a plant, just like your gift. But you can actually eat them. So maybe it's a better gift. Who's to say?[Nobody really knows.]
Tahani: That's so kind. However, in Chinese culture, pears are actually a symbol of bad luck. And... And I wouldn't want to offend Jianyu. So I'm afraid I'm gonna have to throw these in the garbage. But do come and sit down. We haven't even had a chance to discuss all of the mayhem[chaos] in our neighborhood yet. It's so disconcerting[embarrassing].
Eleanor:  Yes. What do you think is causing it?
Tahani: Oh, I'm sure I don't know. But we must keep our heads up. "keep one`s head(s) up"은 [stay strong and calm]이라는 뜻입니다 In fact, tomorrow I'm actually going door-to-door to make sure that every single person in this entire neighborhood is keeping calm and carrying on[continue doing what`s been done]. 'Cause I think that helping others will make me feel like I truly belong here, you know?
Eleanor: Here's a brainstorm, why don't I go with you? I mean, I would love to do my part to help the neighborhood, not to mention, get a little bonding time[a time by which people get to know each other and become emotionally attached] with you, lady.
Tahani: Oh, hurrah! Such fun.

Eleanor: I'm telling you. Tahani's out to[intend to] get me.
Chidi: What are you talking about?
Eleanor: This note was slipped under my door yesterday. It has to be Tahani. She just said to me, "I wanna feel like I truly belong here." Well, where have I seen the word "belong" recently? Oh yeah, kaplow!
Tahani: I really don't think she's the type of person who would write this.
Eleanor: She is that kind of person and she did write it. She wants everybody to think she's such a perfect princess just 'cause she's tall and glamorous and has cappuccino skin and curves everywhere... And now I'm complimenting her. And kind of turned on. The point is, she straight up[truly] sucks, bro.
