Meet the man who set a Guinness World Record for binge-watching

这哥们一口气看剧还破了个吉尼斯纪录

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.

一口气看3集连续剧比较正常,但一口气看一季就稍微有点猛了。

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在看剧上更是开创了新高度。今年4月,这个来自布鲁克林25岁的小伙子因为一口气看94小时剧破了吉尼斯纪录。

"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."

“快结束时,我大脑已经不太听使唤,无法理解我们看的内容了,”他承认。“剧情慢的剧集比较容易理解,但最后一天刚开始看《风骚律师》时,我就有点走神,无法把看的内容串起来。”

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.

虽然心理学家对“一口气看剧”的行为褒贬不一——但目前没有相关任何长期研究结果问世。不过,大家(包括Fragoso本人)一致认为,连续看94小时剧的行为确实太过头了。

But if you think watching that much in a row might turn someone off of the concept of binge watching altogether, think again.

但如果你觉得这个极端的挑战会让大家抛弃“一口气看剧”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."

“我以后还会这么做,只是不会这么频繁集中。几周前,我还一周看完了《硅谷》”,Fragoso说自己对此并不会后悔。

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”人一样,Fragoso说喜欢按自己的节奏看剧,而不是电视台放一集看一集。但自己对看剧并没有严格的标准。但觉得为看新一季而等一年这种事情,会消耗社会资本,甚至毁了看剧的激情。

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.

因为这个原因,Fragoso说有些电台出品的剧集,比如《权力的游戏》,必须看直播。因为这样看不会有剧透问题(他特讨厌剧透),他宁愿为了新一季更新去等待。
