1. Son: So then what happened?
Narrator: Nothing. I mean, I made a complete fool of myself. So… a week
went by and I decided not to call her.

=> means to do something which makes one seems stupid. 某人做了某件
讓他像笨蛋 一樣的事

2. Ted: Huh… I’m gonna spin that as good. Lots of guys are “something”, I’m
“something else”.

=> spin 對一件新聞的看法；詮釋
[Flashback to Earlier. Lily and Robin talking at the bar]
Robin: Comes on a little strong.

=> means to act in a forceful way 行為表現較強烈、突出

3. Ted: We are now—Casual
Barney: Yeah, cuz nothing says “Casual” like inviting a hundred people over
just to “Mac” on one girl. Oh, and Lily—that’s my leg.

=> mac on = mack on= hit on; attempt to attract ;to try to hit on someone of
the opposite sex, but usually a man trying to hit on a woman
文雅說法：coming on (追) Now you’re coming on to me?
hit on: may use with both way, boy to girl or girl to boy.

Marshall: No, no I’m just writing my paper. Hitting the books.

=> 跟中文一樣意思，k書、用功。

5. Narrator: She didn’t show up.
Marshall: Alright, we threw two parties. Everybody had fun. Everybody
wanged, everybody chunged.

=> Everybody wanged, everybody chunged. = wang chung = have fun 玩得
開心

6. Ted: Robin, look I didn’t invite you to this party to set you up with Carlos. Or
the one before that. Or the one before that. (Robin smiles) I threw these
parties because I wanted to see you.

=> set one up = fix up = hook up 撮合某人，製造機會

7. Barney: Unbelievable. That is just a recipe for disaster, they work together
(Carlos and Tatiana are making out)
Ted: You jealous?

=> means something is a recipe for disaster if it’s going to cause trouble or
serious problems.
recipe 本義配方、處方、食譜，recipe for disaster意思災難的形成、開端

8. I’m goanna knock back this beer. I’m gonna knock back one more beer. I’m
gonna go home, I’m gonna write a twenty-five page paper. I’m gonna hand it
in and I’m gonna get a A.
