Around 10pm on Sunday night, Sherlock fans may be feeling a combination of elated and melancholic. Elated because the concluding episode of series three is very, very good, melancholic because – just 11 days after it returned – it’s all over again.
周日晚10點左右,《神探夏洛克》的劇迷們可能會感到既歡欣又憂郁。歡欣是因為第三季的最終集真的精彩十足;憂郁是因為此劇剛回歸11天,之后就又無新劇可看了。

So here’s some good news: Sherlock co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have already plotted out two more series of the detective drama – and Moffat reckons it’s their best stuff yet.
所以有些好消息要告訴大家:《神探夏洛克》的聯(lián)合編劇斯蒂芬·莫法特和馬克·加蒂斯已經(jīng)設(shè)計出了兩季新劇情,同時莫法特預(yù)測這將是他們最好的作品。

“Rather excitingly, Mark and I, for no particular reason, we just got out of the rain and sat at the top of the [Sherlock] production bus… and we just started plotting out what we could do in the future,” Moffat told the audience at tonight's Bafta screening of the season three finale His Last Vow.
“非常令人振奮,也沒什么特別的緣由,馬克和我坐在劇組車上躲雨……然后我們馬上就規(guī)劃出了未來兩季的計劃?!?莫法特在參加英國電影學(xué)院獎《神探夏洛克》第三季最終集《最后誓言》放映時對觀眾表示

“And we plotted out the whole of series four and five.”
"并且我們已經(jīng)設(shè)計好了整個第四季和第五季的劇情。"

“So we have got plans – but our plans don’t tend to be ‘Let’s blow up the world or cast the most famous person in the world’ they tend to be ‘What exciting twists and turns can we add to this?’ And I think we’ve got some crackers!
“所以我們是有計劃的,但我們的計劃并不是‘讓我們轟動世界或找世界上最有名的人來出演角色’,而是‘我們能為劇情添加什么樣迂回曲折的情節(jié)呢?’ 我認為我們已經(jīng)有好的構(gòu)思了?!?/div>

“The ideas we had that day, I thought were the best we’ve ever had.”
“我認為我們那天產(chǎn)生的想法,是我們這么久以來最好的構(gòu)思?!?/div>

And after you watch the series three finale on Sunday, you’ll know that’s setting the bar very high indeed…
"當(dāng)你周日看完第三季最終集的時候,你就會了解到我們其實把門檻設(shè)得很高……"
