'Friends' reunion rejected
制片人拒绝'复活'老友记
Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman has offered her opinion on a potential reunion, saying it would be a mistake to bring the show back.
情景喜剧《老友记》联合制片人玛尔塔•考夫曼就该剧可能重启一事发表了自己的看法,她表示让该剧回归将会是一个错误。
Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green throughout the sitcom's 10 seasons, has said she would be willing to reprise the role for a possible reunion.
在该剧全十季中饰演瑞秋•格林的詹妮弗•安妮斯顿近日表示,如果重启该剧,她很愿意再次出演这个角色。
She has also claimed that her cast mates Courteney Cox (Monica Geller) and Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay) would be open to participating as well.
她还表示,同剧主演柯特妮•考克斯(剧中饰演莫妮卡•盖勒)和丽莎•库卓(剧中饰演菲比•布菲)也愿意参与。
But Kauffman doesn't seem to share Aniston's enthusiasm.
但考夫曼对于重启《老友记》似乎不像安妮斯顿那么热情。
Asked about a possible reunion, she told the AP: "Why mess up a good thing? All we'd be doing is putting those six actors back together, but the heart of the show would be gone...the show is doing just fine, people love it. A reunion could only disappoint."
当被美联社问及此事时,这位制片人说:"为什么要破坏一件美好的事物?这样做只是让这六个主演重聚在一起,但该剧的灵魂已经不在。……《老友记》已经有了完美结局,观众很喜欢。重启该剧只能带来失望。"
>Gun that killed Van Gogh
疑似梵高自杀手枪拍卖
The revolver with which Vincent van Gogh is believed to have shot himself is to go under the hammer Wednesday at a Paris auction house.
一把疑似荷兰画家文森特•梵高用来结束自己生命的手枪19日将在巴黎一家拍卖行拍卖。
Billed as "the most famous weapon in the history of art", the 7 mm Lefaucheux revolver is expected to fetch up to 60,000 euros.
这把7毫米口径的福瑟左轮手枪被誉为"艺术史上最著名的武器",预计其成交价将高达6万欧元。
Van Gogh experts believe that he shot himself with the revolver near the village of Auvers-sur-Oise north of Paris in 1890.
研究梵高的专家们认为,1890年,梵高在巴黎以北的瓦兹河畔奥维尔村朝自己开枪,伤重不治。
The gun was discovered by a farmer in 1965 in the same field where the Dutch painter is thought to have fatally wounded himself.
1965年一位农民在梵高开枪的同一地点发现了这把手枪。
While Art Auction, who are selling the gun, says there is no way of being absolutely certain that it is the fatal weapon, tests showed it had been in the ground for 75 years, which would fit.
负责拍卖此枪的艺术行动拍卖行称,虽然无法百分百确定拍卖的手枪就是梵高所用的那把,但多项测试显示这把枪被埋在地下长达75年,在年限上是吻合的。
>Store prints embarrassing bags
杂货店推出'羞耻'塑料袋
If concern over the climate crisis or revulsion over the contamination of the food chain are not enough to change consumer behavior, one grocery store is hoping that another emotion may persuade people to shun single-use plastic bags: shame.
如果对气候危机的担忧或对食物链污染的厌恶还不足以改变消费者行为,一家杂货店希望另一种情感可以说服人们避免使用一次性塑料袋——羞耻感。
Customers who don't bring their own bags to the East West Market in Vancouver will instead have to carry their grocery home in bags reading "Wart Ointment Wholesale" or "Into the Weird Adult Video Emporium".
在温哥华的东西商店,如果顾客不自己带袋子来装东西,就必须用印有"去疣药膏批发"或"诡异成人视频商店"等文字的塑料袋将食品杂货装回家。
David Lee Kwen, the shop's owner, insisted that the plan wasn't to embarrass customers. "We wanted to give them something humorous, but also something that made them think at the same time," he said.
店主戴维•李•克文坚称,这一计划的本意不是为了让顾客难堪。他说:"我们想用一种幽默的方式让顾客思考。"
