DOWNTON ABBEY

1.睡到自然醒

清晨六点,Daisy把各屋的女仆叫醒,这时Anna睡眼朦胧地说:Just for once in my life, I'd like to sleep until I woke upnatural.哪怕这辈子只有一-次 ,我真想睡到自然醒。

2.太阳打西边出来

Mrs Patmore对早晨的炉火还很旺表示不可思议,她说:Oh, my, my, will wonders never cease?太阳打西边出来了啊。(还真是不可思议啊。)

3.说你迟了,你就是迟了

Thomas见到William后, William赶紧说,”我没迟到吧” , 但Thomas可不这么想。他霸道地说:You're late when I say you're late.我说你迟了就是迟了。.

4.我会记清楚的

Thomas向Bates交代工作, Bates向他表态说:I'll get the hang of it.我会记清楚的。 (get the hang of :熟悉某物的用法;掌握做某事的窍门。比如: I don't get the hang of his remarks我不明白他讲话的要点。)

5.“胜任”工作怎么说?

Carson对Bates的能力表示怀疑,他对老爷说:I'm not entirely sure that he'll prove equal to the task.我不太确定他能否胜任这份工作。

6.东方不亮西方亮

Thomas不甘心做男仆,和O'Brien密谋把Bates赶走,自己去做老爷的贴身侍从,但一时没有得逞。O'Brien劝他办法多的是:

There's more than one way to skin a cat.东方不亮西方亮。(办法多的是/条条大路通罗马)

7.说三道四

伯爵夫妇就Bates的工作问题又发生了争执,伯爵夫人认为Bates无法胜任,所以也难怪别人说三道四。But is this the right way, to employ him for a job he can'tdo? Is it any wonder if the others' noses are put out?

但也不能勉强他做根本无法胜任的工作,也难怪别人说长道短的(说三道四)。


坦白、供人confess(修斯太太向卡森坦白自己听到了贝茨夫妇的对话)

I have a confession.


逃避躲闪dodge(伤员从战场回来)

I would rather face it than dodge it.


继承人heir

过世的:My late husband.

未婚妻:fiancee

人没有绝对的好坏,人就是复杂多面立体的,每个人都可能有犯错的时候。

最喜欢的角色:Edith。非常理解Edith那种因为缺爱而滥爱的Edith的逆袭之路。

在第四季第一集,马修死后,莫斯利失去了工作。他说他突然不知道未来路在何处。“He is always very kind, very polite...My standard has been raised..."

People drifted in and out of your life, don’t they?
