Last week, the world briefly stopped spinning when news broke about the Friends reunion special. Just to think, we were already ecstatic over the new Central Perk-themed coffee shop that opened in Wisconsin, and then we hear that our six faves are coming back to TV.
上周要出《老友记》重聚特辑的消息一出,地球都停转了。想想看,威斯康星州开了一家新的中央公园咖啡馆都让我们狂喜不已,现在可是听说我们最喜欢的6个角色要回归荧幕了呀。

But of course, good things take time, and the unscripted reunion special (as it's not a reboot or continuation) isn't slated to drop on HBO's new upcoming service, HBO Max, until May.
但是,当然,好事多磨,这个无剧本的重聚特辑(既不是重拍也不是续集)预计5月份才会在 HBO即将推出的新服务HBO Max上播出。

How will we pass the time? It's just so far away. Well here's a suggestion: Play a nice everlasting game of Monopoly, duh! Better yet, there's now a special Friends-themed Monopoly game available exclusively on Amazon, and we're ready to clear the coffee table (and our schedules) and get down to business.
那开播之前的时间该怎么过呢?还有那么久呢。我有个提议:玩玩经久不衰的游戏“大富翁”吧。现在好了,亚马逊独家推出一款特别的《老友记》主题“大富翁”游戏。我们准备把咖啡桌清理出来(其他事情也往后推一推)开始玩。

While the game was released in 2018, it was only available in the UK at the time. Now the US version is here, and yes, you can have it by tomorrow because it's on Amazon Prime.
虽然这款游戏2018年就已经有了,但当时只在英国有售。现在出了美国版。对,现在已经在亚马逊Prime上架了,你明天就能买到了。

The Monopoly Friends Edition differs from the original Monopoly as players aren't buying/selling only properties per se, but rather shelling out money for iconic moments from the series.
大富翁《老友记》特别版和原始版本不同,玩家本身并不是只买卖房产,而是花钱买电视剧里的标志性时刻。

For example, if a player lands on the 'Monica Gets a Roommate' square, he or she can choose to buy the moment or not. Other squares to buy include: Ross’ Teeth, All the Thanksgivings, and Phoebe Gets Married. Just like how the classic game board features squares like "Income Tax," players of the Friends version will also be subject to pay extra fees too, if their pawn lands on the 'Central Perk Tab.' Players can also invest and/or trade Central Perk sofas and coffee mugs.
例如,如果一个玩家走到“莫妮卡的新室友”的格子,他/她能选择是否要买下这个时刻。其他可以买的格子还有:“罗斯洗牙”、“感恩节大怀旧”和“菲比结婚”。和这款经典游戏有“个人所得税”这样的特殊格子一样,《老友记》 版的玩家的棋子落到了“中央公园”这一格的话也需要交额外的费用。玩家也能投资和/或交易“中央公园”沙发和咖啡杯。
