Recently I've been watching Friends on Netflix. I cannot remember how many times I watched this TV series. I just cannot get enough of Friends:)
我最近又开始看Friends了。记不得这是第几次重看了，但无论何时何地何种心境，Friends总是最好的选择之一。

Well, one fact is that the first season of Friends was in 1994, which is 24 years from now. That means....A baby who was born in the year when Friends first on air can have his/her own kids now! O.M.G.....(in Janice's voice)
Even the last season was 14 years ago. But the jokes are still funny, and some of Rachel's hair styles and outfits are still trendy.
The only thing outdated is Chandler's laptop in season 2 - 12MB RAM, 500MB hard drive, built-in spreadsheet functionality, and a modem transmit 28Kbps...This bad boy is in museum today.
有一个可怕的事实是——第一季Friends距今已经24年了，换句话说，第一季开播时也就是1994年出生的小孩现在都可能有小孩了。。。O.M.G.....(想象Janice的声音)
然而剧中那些梗过了十几二十年还是那么好玩，Rachel的发型服装放到今天看也还挺时髦。唯一过时的大概就是第二季里Chandler的笔记本电脑吧——12M内存500M硬盘28KB调制解调器和内置制表功能。。。这个当年的坏孩子今天大概躺在博物馆里吧。

To many Chinese in my generation, Friends helped us learn English and gave us the first impressions on how the lives in New York went on. When I hear the word 'high maintenance', I always think of Monica LOL
The stories and the characters with distinctive personalities made Friends a huge success in the sitcom history. Chandler's jokes and Joey's facial expressions are always in my favorite scenes. Basically I like all the six main characters.
对很多中国人来说，Friends不光是一部百看不厌的电视剧，更是学习英语和了解美国生活的好伙伴。至今我听到high maintenance这个词第一个想到的都是Monica，哈哈。
Friends的巨大成功源于生动的故事和鲜明的人物性格。最喜欢Chandler的笑话和Joey丰富可爱的面部表情，不过总体来说六个人我都很喜欢。

Not all the time though.
I always skip the part when Ross and Emily got married. Emily is a very unfortunate character in the show, Julie and Mona as well. I cannot believe that Ross and Rachel had broke up for 7 seasons. I blame the writers for involving Joey in the complex relationship as well. (Still way better than the ending of How I Met Your Mother. )
What is your favorite character or scene? Feel free to comment:)
——但是，喜欢程度也是有波动的。
比如我每次都跳过Ross和Emily结婚那段。这里双R的人设我都不能苟同。虽然不喜欢Emily，但我觉得她也真是挺倒霉的，同理Julie和Mona. 双R第一次分手后竟然纠结了7季之久，还搭上了Joey，编剧真是到最后玩脱了。（感觉这种超长剧到最后都会玩脱，不过比起寻妈记的渣结局Friends已经好太多了。）
读书的时候跟学习小组的美国同学聊过电视剧，他对中国同学无条件热爱Friends表示不解。站在他的立场上想想，大概就好像一个美国留学生说他/她超爱看《我爱我家》、《家有儿女》或者《武林外传》吧。虽然很好，但听上去不是那么酷LOL
你最喜欢Friends的哪个人哪个梗呢？欢迎留言。
