Friends Is Leaving Netflix in 2020
The Office will follow suit a year later
《老友记》2020年从Netflix下线
第二年《办公室》也离开
Pour one out for Central Perk. Friends, the beloved series starring Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox, is officially leaving Netflix in 2020.
敬中央咖啡厅一杯吧。由珍妮弗·安妮斯顿和考特尼·考克斯主演的《老友记》将于2020年正式从Netflix下线。
Pour out: 斟酒、倒饮料
这里说“为Central Perk倒一杯吧”，可以理解成敬它一杯吧。
例如：
You show up at my wedding, pour out your heart, and it's all bullshit.
你出现在我的婚礼上，吐露心声，然而都是胡扯。
According to E! News, all 10 seasons of the show will be leaving the platform next year and will instead be available on HBO Max, the new streaming platform from WarnerMedia. It was reported that Netflix paid about $100 million to keep the show for the entirety of 2019 after fans were upset about the original January 2019 expiration date.
据《E！新闻》消息，所有10季节目都会在明年离开平台，转而在HBO Max上线，这是华纳传媒的新流媒体平台。据报道，剧集原定的2019年1月到期日，Netflix后来花了1亿美元购买了一年的播放权，以留住不安的粉丝。
streaming platform：全球大火的Netflix便是一个streaming platform，即“流媒体平台”。国内的爱奇艺、腾讯视频也都是“流媒体”。
The show will be joining a number of other programs on HBO Max, including Pretty Little Liars and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, as well as the forthcoming CW series Batwoman and Katy Keene. HBO Max will launch in the spring of 2020 and will also offer some original shows. According to Variety, it’s unclear as of now what the pricing will be for HBO Max.
这部剧会成为HBO Max众多节目之一，其他包括《美少女的谎言》、《煲茶表哥》、CW的《蝙蝠女侠》和《凯蒂·基恩》。HBO Max将于2020年春季上线，并提供原创节目。据《Variety》报道，目前不清楚HBO Max的定价。
Netflix tweeted about the news, saying: "The One Where We Have To Say Goodbye. We’re sorry to see Friends go to Warner's streaming service at the beginning of 2020 (in The US). Thanks for the memories, gang." The tweet came with an emoji of a coffee cup, which we can only assume Rachel poured for Ross while Gunther watched balefully from the back of Central Perk.
Netflix在推特上发布了这个消息：“我们只能说再见了。很遗憾《老友记》要在2020年初回归华纳的流媒体平台。“谢谢你的回忆，六人组。”这条推特附带了一个咖啡杯的emoji表情，就好像是瑞秋为罗斯倒的那杯咖啡，而阿甘在中央咖啡厅柜台后狠狠地盯着。
老友记每一集的标题都是以“The One Where ”开头，推特用了这个句式有种莫名的忧伤。
The show is the second heavy hitter to announce it's leaving Netflix. It's been reported that Netflix is also losing The Office in 2021 to NBC's streaming service.
这已经是Netflix宣布的第二部下线的重磅节目。据报道，Netflix在2021年《美版办公室》的版权也会回到NBC的流媒体平台。
Netflix tweeted about that show's departure as well, writing, "We're sad that NBC has decided to take The Office back for its own streaming platform—but members can binge watch the show to their hearts' content ad-free on Netflix until January 2021."
Netflix在推特上也提到了《办公室》的退出：“我们很遗憾，NBC决定将办公室带回自己的流媒体平台，但2021年1月之前，会员仍可以在Netflix上免费观看该节目。”
That leaves you the rest of the year to rewatch both shows as many times as possible. Good luck!
今年余下的时间里尽可能重看两个节目吧。祝你好运！

PS:
巨头集体发力“流媒体服务”。
Netflix几乎改变了全世界观众看电影的习惯。
即迪士尼宣布推出自己的流媒体平台“迪士尼+”后，华纳、NBC也紧随其后，并先后收回重磅版权内容。
未来一段时间里Netflix不会太好过，而美国观众“一份会员看所有”的好日子也将不复存在。
