How 'bout you? Mardi Gras n.四旬斋前的最后一天/"Mardi Gras" (French for Fat Tuesday) is the day before Ash Wednesday(n.复活节前的第七个星期三). Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival, the three day period preceding the beginning of Lent, the Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday immediately before Ash Wednesday (some traditions count Carnival as the entire period of time between Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday). The entire three day period has now come to be known in many areas as Mardi Gras.Perhaps the cities most famous for their Mardi Gras celebrations include New Orleans, Louisiana; Mobile, Alabama and Sydney, Australia. Many other places have important Fat Tuesday celebrations as well. Carnival is an important celebration in most of Europe, except in the United Kingdom where pancakes are the tradition, and also in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean/Mardi Gras：这是美国南部一些州在天主教复活节斋戒前的盛大狂欢节，正确的日子应该在“四旬斋前的最后一天”。因为马上要进入斋戒，所以人们抓住最后机会狂欢。在这个狂欢节上，很多人要举行大头游行，用纸糊的大头(paper mache heads)装饰，这是狂欢节最快乐的节目之一。所以，剧中钱德勒问他的同性恋同事洛厄尔财务部状况还好吗，洛厄尔回答说：“就像Mardi Gras狂欢节没有大头游行一样。”也就是说，不怎么样，很糟糕。
