21年后《老友记》在纽约的青少年中再度走红

If you are 32 or 50, there is a good chance that you are not currently occupying the world of“Friends, which outlines a ’90s Manhattan circumscribed by a coffeehouse and a West Villageapartment that, true to the period, conjures a Pottery Barn designer’s vacation in the lower-tier flea markets of Tuscany. If you are somewhere between 13 and 20, however, andparticularly if you live in New York, you may find yourself very much in the “Friends zone. Thisis not because you landed on an episode, after coming home semi-wasted, on late-nighttelevision, where it is almost always on in syndication, but because you watch it methodically, onNetflix, in sequence, through its more than 230 shows.

如果你现在32岁或50岁，你很可能不处在《老友记》的世界里。它描绘的是90年代的曼哈顿，主要讲述发生在一个咖啡馆和西村一个公寓里的故事;那个公寓给人的感觉是波特里巴恩家具连锁店(Pottery Barn)的设计师度假去了托斯卡纳那些廉价的跳蚤市场，不过倒是符合那个时代。不过，如果你在13岁至20岁之间，尤其是如果你住在纽约，你可能会发现自己就生活在《老友记》的世界里。这不是因为你累得半死回到家，碰巧看到晚间剧场在播其中一集(不管什么时候总有一个台在播)，而是在Netflix上按顺序看完了那230多集。

On Facebook, more than 19 million people like “Friends, nearly four times as many as like“Seinfeld. (So forgotten is “Mad About You, another Manhattan-based totem of ’90s situationcomedy, that when you enter the name into Facebook’s search function, you get “Mad Men.)The currency that “Friends has generated among young people was even the subject of a jokeduring the second and otherwise entirely humorless season of “True Detective. Last spring, the“Friends theme song was performed at a choral concert at the Bronx High School of Science;students at Brearley and Saint Ann’s are enthralled. All of this despite the fact that “Friends isa laugh-tracked network enterprise predating the era of social media.
