FRIENDS

　　《老友记》

　　Now, I know what you’re thinking – Friends is an American show, about Americans living in America! How can it be distinctly British? But perhaps you’re not aware that, apart from Season 1, Friends was written entirely by British writers, and if you watch the first season in comparison to the others, the difference really shows. There’s just something about that British sense of humour that can’t be replicated artificially. It’s a fine art, and needs a natural hand. As an English student, take it from me –Friends is a comedy of errors in the Shakespearean tradition, and although they speak in American accents, it’s a British as you’ll get.

　　等等，我知道你肯定在想——《老友记》不是美国片吗?演的是美国人在美国!怎么成了“纯英剧”了?但你可不知道，除了第一季，《老友记》全是英国作家写的，如果用第一季做个比较，差别立显啊!只是英式幽默可是模仿不来的，这是门精致的艺术，纯粹的浑然天成。作为一名英文文学专业的学生，我敢向你保证——《老友记》用莎士比亚传统戏剧的观点看算是错误百出的喜剧，但即使演员说着一口美音，演的都是英国的事。
