Joey: Hey, maybe that's for the best.

Ross: Yeah?

Joey: Yeah. You know? You just... Look, you gotta... You gotta think about last night the way she does, okay? Maybe, maybe sleeping together was the perfect way to say goodbye?

Phoebe: But now she'll never know how he feels!

Joey: Maybe that's okay. You know? Maybe, maybe it is better this way? I mean, now, now you can move on. I mean, you've been trying to for so long, maybe now that you're on different continents... (Looks at Phoebe) Right?

(Phoebe nods.)

Joey: Maybe now you can actually do it. You know? You can finally get over her.

Ross: Yeah, that's true. Except I don't wanna get over her.

讲解

be(a11)for the best 意为“到头来会是好事，导向良好的结果，出于好意”(if an action is for the best，it seems unpleasant now but it will improve a situation in the future)。有点儿“因祸得福，塞翁失马”(a blessing indisguise)的味道。例如：I know it's hard to end this romantic fantasy，but life is realistic．It's for the best．(我知道结束这个浪漫的幻想很难，但是生活是现实的。到头来会是好事。)又如：It hurts when I broke up with him，but we both know that maybe that's all for the best．(和他分手很痛苦，但是我俩都明白或许这样对大家都好。)

另外一个短语make the best of(尽量利用，充分利用，善用)相当于：make the most of，take full advantage of．例如：Make the best of a bad state of'affairs．
(在不利的情况下尽力而为。)Make the best of what you have．

(充分利用现有的。)Make the best of the opportunity．(充分利用机会，勿失良机。)

还有大家熟悉的try／do one's best(竭尽全力，尽最大的努力)。例如：

I’1l try my best to catch up with fellow classmates．(我会尽自己的最大努力赶上同班同学。)

再介绍两个生活中常用的谚语：He who laughs last，laughs best．(笑到最后，笑得最好。)Hope for the best，and prepare for the worst．(抱最乐观的态度，做最坏的打算。)
