《老友记》是美剧史上最受欢迎的剧集之一,也是世界范围内有史以来最成功的情景喜剧(sitcom)之一。笑声的背后却是十分精细的制作:200个人的摄制团队,5天拍摄1集:前3天将用于演员彩排,第4天拍摄半集内容,到了第5天则会在250名观众面前拍摄(这也是剧中为什么旁边会发出笑声的原因)。经过3星期的剪辑,一集美剧即可新鲜出炉。还有哪些你不知道的“秘密”?一起来回顾《老友记》的精彩的双语花絮吧!

1. Stage 24 (home toFriends from season two until now) is said to be haunted. It is oneof the oldest stages on the Warner Bros. lot and rumors of latenight "occurrences" have been circulating for years!

场景24(即六人从第2季起使用的家)据说闹鬼。这是华纳公司历史最悠久的舞台。多年来,幽灵出没的传说从未间断。

2. Each episodeenlists from 35 to 50 extras. James Michael Tyler (Gunther) was anextra in season one. He was the only extra who could work thecappuccino machine, which led to his recurring role. Not until hisfirst spoken line ("Yes." in The One with Phoebe's Dad) did thewriters give him a name.

每一集有35—50个群众演员。JamesMichael Tyler从第一季开始出现,群众演员中只有他会使用cappuccino咖啡机,从此之后一直有戏。但直到 TOWPhoebe's Dad 那一集,他才有了第一句对白“Yes”,于是剧作者们才给他起了个名字——阿甘。

3. The WardrobeDepartment has an entire room just for handbags!

道具组用整整一个房间来放手袋。

4. The artwork inCentral Perk is changed every 3 episodes. The art departmentshowcases local, national and international artists. Some artistscreate original pieces just for the show!

中央咖啡馆里挂的画,每三集换一次。作品来自当地、国内和国外的艺术家。其中一些作品是专为本剧集创作的。

5. The shops acrossfrom Central Perk have meaning. Dottie &Herman'sDeli is named after co-creator Marta Kauffman's relatives. FreeBeing Records is an homage to a Greenwich Village record store thatexecutive producer Kevin Bright frequented as a kid.

咖啡馆对面的商店也有典故。店名“Dottie &Herman'sDeli”是原剧作者之一Marta Kauffman的亲戚的名字;“Free BeingRecords”是向格林威治镇的一家唱片店致敬,因为制片人Kevin Bright小时候常常光顾那里。

6. Paul Swain, theElectrical Best Boy, draws the art on the Magna-Doodle boardhanging on the back of Joey and Chandler's front door. Sometimes hedoes a drawing that the writers request or that relates to thestoryline; otherwise, the doodle is usually an inside joke with thecrew.

Joey和Chandler家的房门背后挂着磁性画板,上面的画出自PaulSwain之手。有时他根据剧作者的要求进行创作,有时作品和台词相关;有时则画的是工作人员之间发生的笑话。

7. Monica and Joey'srefrigerators actually work (a TV rarity). Monica's is filled withwater and soda for the cast and crew. Joey's (pictured) is, um,pretty darn bachelor-like.

Monica和Joey的冰箱都通电(在拍摄电视剧中并不常见)。Monica的冰箱装着水和苏打,供演员和工作人员饮用;Joey的嘛,和一般光棍的冰箱没什么两样。

8. The sandwich boardoutside Central Perk references a crew member who went above andbeyond the call of duty. "Neighbor Tim" has been appearing atCentral Perk ever since his good deed on the set.

咖啡馆门外的广告牌上,写着当值工作人员的名字。每次"NeighborTim" 的名字出现,就表示他将场景布置妥当了。

9. In the cold open of"The One with the Princess Leia Fantasy" (Season Premiere, 1996), the gang came in and found other people sitting in their CentralPerk spots. Those were the show's writers for thatseason.

301(莉亚公主的幻想)片头,六人走进中央咖啡馆时发现有人占了他们的位子——其实坐在那里的正是第三季的作者们。

中央咖啡馆的场景,附带一条真正的沥青“街道”,是少数现场录音的场景之一。这样拍摄外景时,音效更加真实,下水道还可以冒出真正的蒸汽。

中央咖啡馆里,公用电话旁边的报纸已经摆了半年了。

14. 30,000 feet offilm is used to tape one episode of Friends.

从平面图上看,Monica和Chandler家的厨房有7把锅铲。

17. The show orderspizza twice a night for the studio audience. That's a total of 85pizzas to feed the 300 audience members. (The cast and crewsometimes get sushi too!)

一晚上工作人员要给现场的观众订两次披萨,即是说,一共要为300名观众订85个披萨。(演员和工作人员有时也订寿司。)

18. When the originalMagna-Doodle wore out, the prop department had to find one on eBayto match the original.

磁铁画板用坏了以后,道具组不得不到eBay上买一个一模一样的来替换。

19. Robin Williams andBilly Crystal did four takes of their brief cameo in CentralPerk.

RobinWilliams(窈窕奶爸)和BillyCrystal(当哈利遇到莎丽)在中央咖啡馆亮相时间很短,场戏拍了四遍才杀青。

20. Most of the copyon the Central Perk coffee board is the original copy from theshow's first season (typos included!)
