Fun Facts about Friends

《六人行》的豆知識

1.A few months before the first episode aired, the pilot was shown
to a test audience, who were less than impressed, scoring it a
mere 41 out of 100 and classifying it was "week".（譯按：應為
"weak"）

《六人行》第一季第一集公開播映之前幾個月曾先試映，然而當時觀眾反應

並不熱烈，平均評分只有41分，還被歸類為「劇情貧弱」。

2.Lisa Kudrow played Ursula in the 11th episode of the sitcom "Mad
About You" way back in 1992. That was a whole two years before
the first episode of Friends.

麗莎庫卓（Lisa Kudrow）早在1992年就在喜劇影集《為你瘋狂》（Mad

About You）中客串飾演烏蘇拉布菲（Ursula Buffay），比《六人行》早了

整整兩年。（譯按：和《六人行》一樣，《為你瘋狂》中的烏蘇拉也是常常

　　　 忘記客人餐點的服務生!）

3.In early episodes of the sitcom, Joey and Chandler lived in
apartment 4, while Monica and Rachel lived in apartment 5. This
was later seen as a problem since 4 and 5 would typically be
ground floor apartments and it was known they lived several
stories up. In later episodes their apartment numbers were
changed to 19 and 20 respectfully.

Joey和Chandler原本住在四號，Monica和Rachel住在五號，但後來發現四

號和五號通常是在公寓的一樓，與劇情有出入，因此Joey和Chandler的房

間改成19號，Monica和Rachel的改成20號。（有人確切知道是在第幾季的

時候改的嗎？）

4.Before airing, the sitcom went through several title changes
before settling on the simple "Friends". Possible titles included
Friends Like These, Six of One, Across the Hall, Friends Like Us,
and Insomnia Cafe.

正式播映之前，劇名歷經好幾次更動，候選劇名有《Friends Like These》

、《Six of One》、《Across the Hall》、《Friends Like Us》和

《Insomnia Cafe》，最後才定案為《Friends》。

5.The very first episode was originally titled just "The Pilot",
but because every other episode began with the words "The One..."
it was later renamed to "The one where it all began". There was
however, one exception to the naming convention, and that was the
final episode which was aptly named "The Last One".

第一季第一集的劇名原本只有簡單的「試播集」，但因為《六人行》其他

集的劇名都以"The One..."開頭，所以後來改成"The one where it all

began"。整整十季中這種劇名慣例只有一次例外，就是完結篇那一集，叫

做"The Last One"
　
（譯按：「試播集」在英文中叫做pilot，用來讓電視公司評估這個影集能

否賣座、是否要正式發行，如果影集成功登上電視螢幕，試播集通常就是

影集的第一集。）

6.Gunther actor James Michael Tyler was a mere extra in the first
season. He earned his re-occurring role, because he was the only
one who could work the cappuccino machine. He wasn't even given
a name until season two.

飾演Gunther的演員詹姆斯麥可泰勒（James Michael Tyler）在第一季時

只是臨時演員，但因為他是劇組中唯一會操作咖啡機的演員，因此爭取到

這個角色。直到第二季他的名字才正式出現。

（題外話：我覺得Gunther的聲音好有磁性）

7.The full names of the characters are...

六位主角的全名

Ross Eustace Geller

Chandler Muriel Bing

Joseph Francis Tribbiani Jr

Rachel Karen Green

Monica E. Geller (we never learn what the E stands for)
（劇中從來沒有提到E到底是什麼的簡寫）

Phoebe Buffay (She never knew her middle name)
（Phoebe自己也不知道她的中間名是什麼）

（我超喜歡這句XD
Chandler: Handle is my middle name. Actually, it’s the middle
part of my first name.）

8.For a joke, in the opening episode of season 6, "The One After
Vegas", all the opening credits had the names changed to include
Arquette at the end. This was because after finishing season 5,
Courteney Cox married David Arquette and became Courteney Cox
Arquette.

因為第五季結束之後，柯特妮考克斯（Courteney Cox）與大衛阿奎特

（David Arquette）共結連理，冠上夫姓。為表祝福，第六季第一集「拉

斯維加斯之後」（"The One After Vegas"）片頭曲時，所有演員也都冠

上阿奎特的姓。

9.In an act of life mirroring fiction, the coffee house "Central
Perk" became a reality in 2006 when Mojtaba Asadian, a
businessman from Iran registered the name to use on a new
franchise of coffee shops. The first of which was officially
opened by James Michael Tyler (Gunther) in Dubai.

劇中的中央咖啡館在現實中成真了！2006年伊朗的阿沙迪恩（Mojtaba

Asadian）為他的咖啡連鎖店註冊了這個名字，第一家連鎖店在杜拜開幕時

還邀請了詹姆斯麥可泰勒（Gunther的演員）來到現場。

10.Over 51 million people watched the first airing of the final
episode in the US. That made it the 4th most watched series
finale, behind three other sitcoms MASH, Cheers and Seinfeld.

《六人行》完結篇在美國首播時有超過五千一百萬人共同觀賞，是全美收

視第四多的影集完結篇，僅次於《外科醫師》（MASH,1972-1983）、《歡

樂酒店》（Cheers,1982-1993）和《歡樂單身派對》（Seinfeld,1989-1998）
