Forget the upstairs/downstairs divide, this year’s Downton Abbey Christmas special will see the Crawleys and their servants living in different countries.
忘記樓上/樓下的區(qū)別吧，在今年的《唐頓莊園》(Downton Abbey)圣誕特輯中，克勞利一家和他們的仆人將在不同的國(guó)度度過。

Lord Grantham and his family are heading north to the Scottish Highlands to join the Dowager Countess’s great niece Lady Rose and her parents at Duneagle Castle.
格蘭瑟姆伯爵(Lord Granthem)一家將前往蘇格蘭高地的Duneagle城堡，和老夫人的甥孫女羅斯小姐(Lady Rose)一家一起度假。

Initally, a warm welcome awaits, but the tensions between the family and their hosts soon become clear.
一開始，克勞利一家收到了熱情的歡迎，但很快，客人和主人之間的矛盾就凸顯了出來。

We’re promised that “salacious scandals, clandestine courtships and heartbreaks of seasons past” will all come to a head during the feature-length episode.
劇組人員告訴我們，在過去的三季中有的“淫蕩的丑聞、私下的求愛、斷腸傷心事”，圣誕特輯里一個(gè)都不會(huì)少。

And while it may well snow (it is Scotland, after all) don’t expect Christmas decorations or another stilted present-giving as the seasonal special is, in fact, set in September.
盡管特輯中可能會(huì)下雪（畢竟在蘇格蘭嘛……），別去期待什么圣誕裝飾了，人們也不會(huì)假惺惺地互贈(zèng)禮物——因?yàn)槭聦?shí)上，這一季的特輯是設(shè)定在九月的。?

But what of those left back at Downton? What do servants do when there's no-one to serve? Will Lord Grantham return to find they’ve had a massive party and smashed up the Abbey? Carson is of course determined to prevent this, but with the excitement of the approaching country fair, it's possible some of the staff could be tempted to push their luck.
那唐頓大后方會(huì)發(fā)生什么呢？當(dāng)仆人們沒有人好侍奉時(shí)會(huì)干嘛呢？格蘭瑟姆伯爵回來時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?cè)谔祁D開了個(gè)大派對(duì)，個(gè)個(gè)喝得爛醉如泥嗎？當(dāng)然，卡森(Carson)一定會(huì)堅(jiān)定地阻止這一切發(fā)生，但是對(duì)于即將來臨的鄉(xiāng)村集市，大家還是十分興奮的，很可能有幾個(gè)仆人會(huì)hold不住，交了好運(yùn)又不停手，玩得大了點(diǎn)。

Speaking of luck, we hear a rumour that romance could be in the air for chirpy cook Mrs Patmore. And as far as we're concerned, that's better than any Christmas present.
說到好運(yùn)，聽說會(huì)有一場(chǎng)愛情等待著快人快語(yǔ)的廚娘帕特莫太太(Mrs Patmore)。我們覺得，這真是最好的圣誕禮物了！
