《老友記》六人22年后合體拍特輯

The cast of the hit sitcom Friends are to reunite for a two-hour special, according to US broadcaster NBC.
美國全國廣播公司（NBC）發(fā)消息稱，著名情景喜劇《老友記》的主演們將重新聚首，參與錄制兩小時的特別節(jié)目。

The actors behind Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross have all signed up for the special, a tribute to director James Burrows.
瑞秋、莫妮卡、菲比、喬伊、錢德勒和羅斯的扮演者們都已確定將出演這一致敬導(dǎo)演詹姆斯·伯羅斯的特輯。

Burrows helmed numerous episodes of the program and has just celebrated directing his 1,000th TV program.
伯羅斯執(zhí)導(dǎo)過不少《老友記》劇集，而此次特別節(jié)目是為了慶祝伯羅斯執(zhí)導(dǎo)第1000集美劇而籌劃。

But NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt suggested the six Friends may not appear together.
不過NBC娛樂部主席羅伯特·格林布拉特暗示，六位“老友”可能不會同時出現(xiàn)。

"I'm hoping all six will be in same room at the same time," he told reporters. But he added: "I'm not sure we logistically can pull it off."
他告訴記者：“我當(dāng)然希望他們六人能同時出現(xiàn)在一個房間內(nèi)。”但他補(bǔ)充道：“我不敢保證在具體安排時一定能辦得到。”

Fans of the show have been hoping for more than a decade to see Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer back on screen together, but previous attempts have fallen short.
十多年了，老友粉們一直盼著珍妮佛·安妮斯頓、柯特妮·考克斯、麗莎·庫卓、馬特·勒布朗、馬修·派瑞和大衛(wèi)·修蒙能再次聚首熒屏，但以前的嘗試都未成功。

The program ended in 2004, 10 series and a decade after it premiered on US screens. It made international stars of its little-known cast, winning a slew of awards and a huge audience in the process.
《老友記》2004年播完第十季后劇終，彼時距該劇初登美國熒屏已有10年。此前鮮有人知的劇中演員后來都成了國際巨星。在此過程中，該劇也收獲了無數(shù)獎項，俘獲了一眾粉絲。

As well as Friends, Burrows was behind the camera for several of America's much-loved sitcoms, including Cheers, Frasier, and The Bob Newhart Show.
除了《老友記》，伯羅斯還拍過不少其它深受觀眾喜愛的美國情景劇，比如《歡樂酒店》、《歡樂一家親》、《鮑勃紐哈特秀》等。

The special is scheduled to be broadcast on 21 February on NBC.
致敬特輯將于2月21日在NBC臺播出。
