這哥們一口氣看劇還破了個吉尼斯紀錄
It's one thing to binge watch three episodes of a show in one sitting. It's another to devour an entire season in a day.
一口氣看3集連續劇比較正常，但一口氣看一季就稍微有點猛了。
But Alejandro "AJ" Fragoso is on an entirely different level. In April, the 25-year old from Brooklyn set a Guinness World Record by binge watching shows for 94 consecutive hours.
但Alejandro "AJ" Fragoso在看劇上更是開創了新高度。今年4月，這個來自布魯克林25歲的小夥子因爲一口氣看94小時劇破了吉尼斯紀錄。
"Towards the end, my brain was struggling to comprehend a lot of what we were watching," he admits. "The slower episodes, with not a lot going on were easier for me to digest. It was around the beginning of the final day that I tried to watch 'Better Call Saul' ... but I was so out of it, I was having trouble piecing together what I was watching."
“快結束時，我大腦已經不太聽使喚，無法理解我們看的內容了，”他承認。“劇情慢的劇集比較容易理解，但最後一天剛開始看《風騷律師》時，我就有點走神，無法把看的內容串起來。”
While psychologists are split on the pros and cons of binge watching — and no long-term studies have yet been published — everyone (including Fragoso) would probably agree 94 hours is a bit ludicrous.
雖然心理學家對“一口氣看劇”的行爲褒貶不一——但目前沒有相關任何長期研究結果問世。不過，大家（包括Fragoso本人）一致認爲，連續看94小時劇的行爲確實太過頭了。
But if you think watching that much in a row might turn someone off of the concept of binge watching altogether, think again.
但如果你覺得這個極端的挑戰會讓大家拋棄“一口氣看劇”的想法，那就太天真了！
"I'm definitely doing it with less frequency, but a few weeks ago, I plowed through 'Silicon Valley' in a weekend," says Fragoso. "I have no regrets."
“我以後還會這麼做，只是不會這麼頻繁集中。幾周前，我還一週看完了《硅谷》”，Fragoso說自己對此並不會後悔。
Like a lot of Millennials, Fragoso says he prefers to watch shows at his own pace, rather than one that's dictated by a network executive, but he says that's not a hard and fast rule. Sometimes, waiting for a season to wrap up before sitting down to watch it can cost social capital — or worse, ruin some of the surprises.
和其他“千禧一代”人一樣，Fragoso說喜歡按自己的節奏看劇，而不是電視臺放一集看一集。但自己對看劇並沒有嚴格的標準。但覺得爲看新一季而等一年這種事情，會消耗社會資本，甚至毀了看劇的激情。
For that reason, Fragoso says there are some programs — like "Game of Thrones" — he considers "must watch live". But if it doesn't have a big buzz factor (and he's not likely to stumble upon spoilers), he's content to wait.
因爲這個原因，Fragoso說有些電臺出品的劇集，比如《權力的遊戲》，必須看直播。因爲這樣看不會有劇透問題（他特討厭劇透），他寧願爲了新一季更新去等待。
