The air date for the first episode of series three of BBC One's Sherlock has been confirmed as Wednesday 1st January 2014 after weeks of anticipation from fans.
在剧迷们好几周的期待后，BBC1台的《神探夏洛克》终于确认了第三季第一集的首播时间：2014年1月1日周三！
The news of the detective’s New Year’s Day return was revealed by the BBC on Friday in a publicity stunt which saw a funeral hearse drive through London bearing the date of Sherlock’s return in flowers alongside the hashtag #SherlockLives. The car visited a number of the show's shooting locations, including Baker Street, North Gower Street and St Bart's Hospital.
BBC在周五通过一次公众宣传活动发布了这部侦探剧集将在新年回归的消息。一辆灵车驶遍伦敦的街道，车上载着用花朵做成的《神探夏洛克》第三季首播日期，灵车上还有#SherlockLives 的话题标签。灵车驶过了一些该部的拍摄地点，包括贝克街、高尔北街和圣巴特医院。
The first episode of the new series, entitled The Empty Hearse may allow fans to finally find out how Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) cheated death in the series two finale The Reichenbach Fall.
第三季第一集标题为《空棺》，将为剧迷们揭开本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇饰演的福尔摩斯在第二季最终集《莱辛巴赫瀑布》的假死之谜。
Co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat have so far kept a tight lid on how the detective survived his dramatic tumble from the roof of St Bart's Hospital, but Moffat has hinted that all will be revealed in the series three opener.
联合制作人马克·加蒂斯和史蒂芬·莫法特到目前为止，一直都未透露从圣巴特医院屋顶纵身一跃的夏洛克是如何活下去的，不过莫法特曾暗示将在第三季的开场揭开所有的秘密。
After the series two opener A Scandal in Belgravia was seen by over ten and a half million viewers, this latest publicity stunt looks likely to draw mass audiences to the 1st January episode.
神夏第二季第一集《贝尔戈维亚丑闻》吸引了超过1050万观众，第三季的伦敦宣传活动也是为了吸引更多观众观看1月1日首播的第三季第一集。
It is yet to be confirmed whether the drama will continue to run on a Wednesday or switch to a weekend prime-time position after the first episode.
不过关于后两集的播出时间还未确定，目前还不知道后面两集会不会继续在周三播出，或是在第一集播出后再调整到周末黄金时间播出。
Happy New Year Sherlock fans!
《神探夏洛克》粉丝们新年快乐！
