The story so far
Everything you need before watchingDavid Schwimmer admits he had a major crush on Jennifer Aniston in season one. She says it was mutual — two ships always passing because one of them was already dating. They never crossed that line. Then the reunion cuts back to the coffee house at night: Ross storms in, furious that Rachel told him she had feelings; Rachel fires back, why didn't he ever say anything? Watch two people blame timing for a miss they both still feel.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“-Well, then you should have said something before I met her.”
那你早该在我认识她之前开口。
should have 把「你早该开口」砸在错过上,责备里带着委屈。
you should have + 过去分词 + before…
怪对方错过时机、早该说却没说的时候。
You should've told me sooner. / Why didn't you speak up before that?
informal
should have 收成 should've,said 稍重,before 下落。
“And how come you never said anything to me?”
那你自己怎么从不跟我说?
how come 比 why 更口语,把对质问成「你怎么从不说」。
How come + 陈述句
熟人之间质问对方为什么一直没开口。
Why didn't you ever tell me? / How come I never heard this?
informal
how come 连读,never 加重,me 上扬。
“Okay? I'm happy. This ship has sailed.”
行了吧?我很开心。这艘船已经开走了。
四个词把「来不及了」说成船已开走,决绝又心虚。
This ship has sailed.
宣布某个机会或感情已经没了。
That train has left the station. / That chance is gone.

happy 先落,ship 和 sailed 再砸实。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passage-Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, "It's going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is gonna be on national television." Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop. -Hang on, so -- -But so we just channeled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.
-说真的,我记得有一次跟大卫说, 「要是你我第一次接吻 居然是在全国电视上,那也太扫兴了。」 果然,我们第一次接吻 就是在那间咖啡店。-等一下,所以—— -所以我们就把对彼此的爱慕和喜欢 全都灌注进了罗斯和瑞秋。
