为什么朋友们总是记不住Chandler的工作？
Via: Friends: Chandler"s Job (& Why Nobody Ever Remembered It) (screenrant.com)

Friends had a bunch of running jokes, including one about Chandler’s job, which no one seemed to remember what it was.
《老友记》中有很多反复出现的梗，其中就包括Chandler的工作，似乎没有人知道他是干什么的。
running joke，指一个故事中，反复出现的笑话（A joke or humorous element that is introduced early on in a story and then appears or is referred to again repeatedly.）
Friends followed a group of young adults (Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Joey, Chandler, and Ross) living in New York City and trying to balance their personal, professional, and social lives. Although they were a close-knit group, with some of them ending up together, they didn’t know each other as well as they should have – or at least they didn’t know Chandler that well, as they often forgot (or didn’t know at all) what his job was.
