【劇情簡(jiǎn)介】

錢德說現(xiàn)女友鼻孔大得可以看見她的腦汁兒所以甩掉了她——他總是善于用這種表面化的理由來逃避真正的男女關(guān)系。

CHANDLER:Hey.

MONICA:So how was Joan?

2. Adam's apple:喉結(jié)

《舊約.創(chuàng)世紀(jì)》第3章講到人類的起源,傳說上帝創(chuàng)造人類的始祖亞當(dāng)和夏娃,在東方的伊甸(Eden)建立了一個(gè)園子給他們居住。伊甸園里生長(zhǎng)著悅?cè)搜勰康母鞣N樹木,樹上長(zhǎng)著各種各樣的果實(shí)。

上帝吩咐亞當(dāng)說:你可以隨意吃園中的各種果子,只是不能吃那棵分別善惡樹上的果實(shí),吃了必定要死。這種“禁果”就是apple。后來,亞當(dāng)?shù)呐渑枷耐蘼犘派叩恼T惑,不顧神諭,吃了善惡樹上的禁果,還把這果子給它丈夫吃。亞當(dāng)因心懷恐懼,吃時(shí)倉(cāng)促,有一個(gè)蘋果核哽在吼中,不上不下,留下個(gè)結(jié)塊,就叫“亞當(dāng)?shù)奶O果”兩人吃了這果子就心明眼亮,能知善惡美丑。

但是由于他們違背了上帝的告戒而被逐出伊甸園。從此,亞當(dāng)就永遠(yuǎn)在脖子前端留下“喉結(jié)”,作為偷吃禁果的“罪證”。上帝還懲罰亞當(dāng),“必汗流滿面才能糊口”

不過也有一說是正當(dāng)亞當(dāng)吃的時(shí)候,上帝來了,所以亞當(dāng)急忙吞下去,不料哽在喉嚨間了。
