其实我看美剧关注最多的不是它们的剧情，更重要的是那些Native Speaker口中那些流水般的表达，经常能发现许多让人赞叹不已的词组或者句型，甚至是一个声调，一个重音往往也值得研究一番。所以有的时候看到自己喜欢的一集经常可以看上十几遍之多，Friends中的3-2"No One Is Ready"就是这样的一集。今天拿来重新看看也丝毫不觉得枯燥。其中这个词依然很吸引人的注意：

Lucky Penny
     Stop looking to the sky to thank your lucky stars. You need to keep your eyes on the ground because lucky pennies are the good luck charms that could change your life.

Starting now, you should see pennies in a whole new light. They're not just copper pieces destined to sit at the bottom of your coin jar. They're neglected pieces of American currency that carry with them a small piece of history—a history that has fatefully wound up in your hand.

But before you go diving for every Abraham Lincoln you see on the street, remember that only heads-up pennies are considered lucky. If they're minted the same year you were (born that is), even better. But a penny with a hole in it is the luckiest of all. Wear it around your neck as a charm and watch your fortunes change. Tossing your lucky penny into a fountain could make your wildest wish come true. And if it doesn't, it's just time to find a new lucky penny.
