【句子】What do you care? You’re an actor. This is your day job. This isn’t supposed to mean anything to you. 【Friends-S2E2】 【发音】[wɒt]/[wɑ:t] [du:] [ju:] [keə(r)] [jɔ:(r)] [æn] ['æktə(r)] [ðɪs] [ɪz] [jɔ:(r)] [deɪ] [dʒɒb]/[dʒɑ:b] [ðɪs] [ˈɪz.ənt] [sə'pəʊzd] [tʊ] [mi:n] [ˈen.i.θɪŋ] [tʊ] [ju:]【发音技巧】what do完全失去爆破；an actor连读；this is连读；this isn’t连读；supposed to完全失去爆破；【翻译】你干嘛在乎？你是个演员诶，这只是你赚钱的工作而已，你不应该这么介意的。【适用场合】day job 白天的工作？一般来说，在选择工作的时候，有些人可能以收入为标准，有些人可能以自己真正的喜好为标准。像剧中Joey，他觉得他真正热爱的是演员的事业，但无奈做演员赚不了几个钱；但这份喷香水的工作，虽然不怎么喜欢，但是能给他带来不错的收入。像这样的，为了赚钱而工作的工作，叫做day job，算是主业。所以这个视频字幕翻译是稍微有一些问题的。It is a job that you do to earn money so that you can do something else that you prefer but that does not pay you much money.eg: Good luck in the lottery, but don't quit your day job.祝你早日买中彩票，但是别丢了你的主业工作。eg: Many actors have day jobs.很多演员都会另有主业。（意思偶尔去拍个戏，打个酱油）然后在口语中，有一个俚语，叫做：don't give up the day job字面意思是：赚钱的那份工作不能丢！It is used to tell sb. that they should continue doing what they are used to, rather than trying sth. new which they are likely to fail at引申义是：告诫别人应该继续去做之前很熟悉的事情，很习惯的事情，而不是冒险去尝试那些很有可能会做失败的新事物。eg: So you want to be a writer? Well my advice is, don't give up the day job. 你想成为一名作家啊？嗯……我的建议是，还是做你之前熟悉的工作吧。（我觉得你做作家，估计很难成功。）视频末尾俩人开玩笑，Chandler说：Now, go see Miss kitty and she’ll fix you up with a nice hooker.现在去找Kitty小姐，她会给你安排一个漂亮的妹子。这里出现的fix 并不是修理repair的意思fix sb. up (with sb.) （口语）to arrange for sb. to have a meeting with sb. who might become a boyfriend or girlfriend安排男女见面，约会fix sb. up (with sth) （口语）to arrange for sb. to have sth.给某人提供/安排……eg: I'll fix you up with a place to stay.我会给你找个住的地方。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】-- “哥们，你觉得我唱歌咋样？”-- “额……你还是干点别的吧。”
