你可以做的一些真正酷的事情
與Squarespace網站。

"Friends" is a show with six main characters,

"朋友 "是一個有六個主要人物的節目。

but if you had to pick one protagonist --

the one who really takes the biggest journey
over the ten seasons,

一路貨真價實的人
在這十個賽季中。

The series starts with Rachel Green making
a choice that will define her entire life.

該系列從瑞秋-格林開始
這個選擇將決定她的一生。

She runs away from the wealthy but passionless
existence she could have had with her orthodontist

她從有錢但沒有激情的人那裡跑了出來
她本可以和她的牙齒矯正師一起生活的

She embraces being a regular twenty-something.

她接受做一個普通的二十多歲的人。

“I'm gonna go get one of those job things.”

This down-on-your-luck, no-frills lifestyle
is a given for the other friends,

這種踏踏實實、不拘一格的生活方式。
是其他朋友的必然選擇。

and they're sometimes disenchanted with
it.

They're starting to feel that longing for
marriage, children, having a bit more money

他們開始感受到了那種渴望
結婚生子

以及這個不可預知的階段的結束。

Rachel certainly struggles with whether she
could have made a mistake.

瑞秋當然也在掙扎，她是否
可能犯了一個錯誤。

“Everyone I know is either getting married
or getting pregnant or getting promoted, and

"我認識的每個人都在結婚
或懷孕或升職，以及

But she chooses this life because she doesn't
want to live some numb, lukewarm life in the

但她選擇了這種生活，因為她不...
想過一些麻木不仁的生活，溫吞的生活。

even if that means she has to brave a lot
of new lows.

即使這意味著她要冒著很大的風險。
的新低。

“It's like there's rock bottom, 50 feet
of crap, then me.”

"這就像有巖底，50英尺。
的垃圾，那麼我。"

So more than any other character, Rachel embodies
the value of experimenting, failing, and striving

所以比起其他角色，瑞秋更多的體現了
實驗、失敗、努力的價值取向。

“Mom, I realize you and daddy were upset
when I didn't marry Barry and get the big

"媽媽，我知道你和爸爸很不高興
當我沒有和巴里結婚，沒有得到大的

with all the security and everything, but
God, this is just so much better for me.”

在所有的安全和一切，但
天啊，這對我來說實在是太好了。"

Slowly but surely, she finds her feet in her
career,

慢慢地，但肯定地，她發現她的腳在她的。
職業。

falls in and out of love -- mostly with Ross,

陷入和退出的愛 - 主要是與羅斯。

Rachel proves that the choices we make at
this age can completely transform us.

瑞秋證明了我們的選擇在
這個時代可以完全改變我們。

She changes from spoiled princess to savvy
executive and put-together mom.

她從被寵壞的公主變成了精明的人
執行力強，而且是個好媽媽。

The person she's become is thanks to the
many missteps and lessons learned,

她能成為這樣的人，要歸功於... ...
許多誤區和教訓。

and even more than that, thanks to the friends
she found.

So we can say that Rachel is the true protagonist
of Friends

所以我們可以說，Rachel才是真正的主角
朋友們

because she most demonstrates the message
of the show --

that we grow into our best selves by investing
in our friends

我們通過投資，成長為最好的自己。
在我們的朋友中

and accepting the messiness of our young adult
lives.

並接受我們年輕一代的凌亂
的生活。

Besides being the missing piece of the friend
group at the beginning,

除了作為朋友的缺失部分
組在開始。

Rachel is also our proxy -- we enter the world
of the show through her.

瑞秋也是我們的代理人--我們進入這個世界。
的節目，通過她。

The pilot is framed around her personal journey
as she moves in with Monica,

飛行員是圍繞著她的個人旅程而展開的
當她和莫妮卡同居時

finds a job at Central Perk, and cuts herself
off from her family's financial support.

在中央公園找到一份工作，並削減自己
斷了她家的經濟支持。

In fact the whole first season is focused
more on Rachel than any other individual,

其實整個第一季的重點是
瑞秋比其他任何一個人都重要。

當她適應這種新的生活方式時。

So from the get-go, it is a story about Rachel
finding herself and coming of age.

所以從一開始，這是一個關於瑞秋的故事。
找到自己，並走向成熟。

"Friends" can get criticized for offering
a sugarcoated, lillywhite vision of twenty-something

"朋友 "會被責備，因為提供
一個糖衣炮彈，百合花白的20多歲的願景。

But Rachel does face a lot of classic universal
problems, from financial strain --

但瑞秋確實面臨著很多經典的普遍性
問題，來自財政緊張 -- --

“Bloomingdale's eliminated my department.”

"布盧明代爾百貨公司把我的部門淘汰了。"

And we see how invested the other friends
are in her progress.

而我們看到其他朋友的投入
是在她的進步。

The reason they -- and we -- care so much
is that everything feels like a big “first”

他們--我們--如此關心的原因。
是一切都像一個大 "第一次 "的感覺。

I did the windows, I did the floors, I even
used all those attachments on the vacuum

我做了窗戶，我做了地板，我甚至...
在真空上使用所有這些附件

except for that little round one with the
bristles.”

除了那個圓圓的小圓子
刷子。"

She seems to see everything with new eyes.

She's earnest and enthusiastic even as she
experiences things like doing laundry for

她是認真的，熱情的，即使她
經驗，如洗衣服為

"If I can actually do my own laundry, there
isn't anything I can't do."

"如果我真的可以自己洗衣服，有
沒有什麼是我做不到的。"

Even as the show goes on and Rachel becomes
less of an ingenue,

即使隨著劇情的發展，瑞秋變得
少了一個獨創性。

she maintains this lovable, sometimes clueless
streak.

她保持著這種可愛的，有時是無知的
連勝。

So we can relate to her drive to try new things
as well as her tendency to stumble.

所以我們能體會到她嘗試新事物的動力
以及她那跌跌撞撞的傾向。

"I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle!"

"我不應該把牛肉放在小菜裡！"

Rachel's oblivious parents and vain sisters
represent what she could have become

瑞秋的父母和虛榮的姐妹都忘了她
代表著她可能成為的樣子

if she'd stayed in her bubble of privilege
and security.

如果她還呆在她的特權圈子裡的話
和安全。

“You didn't marry your Barry, honey, but
I married mine.”

"你沒有和你的巴里結婚，親愛的，但是...
我娶了我的。"

We also get the alternate reality where we
see

我們也得到了另一個現實，我們
看到

the bored, dissatisfied housewife version
of Rachel who did marry Barry.

悶騷型家庭主婦
嫁給巴里的瑞秋。

She's an altogether shallower and less interesting
person.

她是一個完全淺薄和不那麼有趣的人
的人。

I mean when you took out your own kidney to
save your ex-wife even though she tried to

我的意思是，當你拿出你自己的腎臟，以
挽救你的前妻，即使她試圖...

Sometimes we do see the aftereffects of Rachel's
upbringing sometimes,

有時我們確實看到了瑞秋的後遺症。
教養有時。

當她表現出有權或自我參與時。

But ultimately she's rejected that life
path.

但最終她還是拒絕了這種生活
路徑。

And we recognize that it takes guts to let
go of everything you know

我們也認識到，這需要勇氣，讓
泯然眾人矣

While Rachel's new life delights us, it
doesn't always look great to outsiders.

雖然瑞秋的新生活讓我們高興，但它
在外人看來不一定是好事。

"那個瑞秋對她的生活做了什麼。

我們在俱樂部碰到了她的父母。

“I'm not going to tell you what they spent
on that wedding.”

"我不會告訴你他們花了多少錢
在那場婚禮上。"
