Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes says he plans to write a prequel to the beloved British period drama, the BBC reports.
BBC報道，《唐頓莊園》制作人Julian Fellowes說，他打算寫很受歡迎的英劇《唐頓莊園》的前傳。

Fellowes, who won an Oscar for penning the screenplay to Gosford Park said that the prequel will explore how Hugh Bonneville's and Elizabeth McGovern's characters, the Earl and Countess of Grantham, met.
曾憑借《高斯福德莊園》獲得奧斯卡最佳劇本獎的Fellows說前傳將會講述由Hugh Bonneville和Elizabeth McGovern扮演的伯爵和伯爵夫人邂逅的故事。

"They had a slightly troubled courtship, because she was in love with him before they married, as we know, and he married her entirely for her money," he said.
“他們的愛情路走得并不順暢，因為我們知道伯爵夫人在和伯爵結(jié)婚前就愛上了他，而伯爵則完全是為了錢才和夫人結(jié)婚的，”他說。

Though Fellowes has only announced plans for the prequel to come out in book form, a television adaptation is likely, according to the BBC. However, Fellowes said he wouldn't want the prequel to air until Downton Abbey had ended.
BBC報道，F(xiàn)ellowes只宣布說前傳將會先以小說形式出版，也有可能會改變成電視劇。然而Fellowes說，《唐頓莊園》的前傳將會在《唐頓莊園》結(jié)局后才登上電視熒幕。
