今天我们开始《老友记》第一季第六集精读学习，本期主要介绍基本的剧情，后面会进行重点句子的解析，一起来学习吧！

一.剧情概括

标题：The One With the Butt（屁股秀）

好友一起去看乔伊的表演，乔伊的演出挑战了五人能忍受的极限，但钱德勒看上了美丽的女演员奥萝拉。在好友的鼓励下，他勇敢上前搭讪，并成功约上了她。初次约会，奥萝拉就告诉钱德勒：自己不仅有老公还有男朋友。钱德勒跟其他好友一样，开始也惊讶不已，但后来一想：这事完全不吃亏，不仅可以甜言蜜语男欢女爱，最主要还不用负任何责任，这是每个男人的梦想。莫妮卡和菲比对此都不赞同，问罗斯是怎样想的，没想到罗斯也是这样认为的。莫妮卡好奇发问：你们男生不介意和已有对象的女人交往吗？显然，男人女人对恋爱的态度还是有差别的。可后来，钱德勒对奥萝拉越来越上心，希望奥萝拉能属于自己一个人。可奥萝拉却说：我们为何不能及时行乐，为何不能只是谈谈笑笑，然后做爱呢？彼此就没有任何负担。钱德勒最终还是无法继续这样欺骗自己的真感情，于是他选择了分手。
