在扎克伯格的妻子普莉希拉·陈的个人主页上有这样一句名言：

“Tell me , I will forget; show me , I may remember; involve me, I will understand."

碰巧我们的老祖宗也说过类似的话：

“不闻不若闻之，闻之不若见之，见之不若知之，知之不若行之，学至于行之而止矣。”

我们学英语也是一样的道理，拿看美剧学英语来说：

只是单纯去看可能只能培养一点语感；看完之后把台词记下来也许只会增长知识；把记下来的台词应用到生活里去才算是真正学会了。

所以本着这个原则，我在做《老友记》的笔记的时候会遵循如下三步：

1. 裸听一遍全文，对整体内容有大体把握，知道哪里没有听懂，就是要重点做笔记的地方；

2. 把台词从头到尾穿一遍，把不认识的单词都标记清楚。

3. 确定重点要学习的词汇，并进行用法拓展，也就是所谓的去实际应用。在拓展的过程中可能还会遇到新的单词和用法，不妨一起记下来，扩充词汇量。

下面就是我对第一季第十三集的老友记做的笔记，希望能够给大家带来帮助。更多的老友记笔记可以参考我之前写的《看老友记学英语》系列 - 和我一起看老友记学英语吧 - 从第一季第一集开始 （001）
