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?
