《唐顿庄园》第三季剧照

Here are nine new photos of Season 3, along with some scoop on the third season from creator Julian Fellowes.
《唐顿庄园》即将于9月回归ITV，剧组日前也曝光了第三季的最新剧照，而主创朱利安·费罗斯也透露了第三季的一些新情况。

"Gradually over the next two decades many houses were let go, and by the 40s and 50s it really was the coup de grace for that way of life. So the 20s and 30s always strike me as being a rather nebulous, febrile period," says Fellowes, speaking of the era in which Season 3 is set. "In some ways it was very exciting - there were all the new dances, aeroplanes and movies, and more and more people having cars and so on. But in another way it was also full of fear because nobody quite knew what the new world would be."
谈到第三季的时代背景，费罗斯说：“在接下来的二十年中，有许多贵族没落，被迫搬出他们的豪宅，这在四五十年代，绝对是对贵族生活方式的致命一击。所以，二三十年代对我来说，是一个比较朦胧比较头脑发热的时代。从某些方面来讲，新的时代真的令人非常兴奋，会出现新的舞蹈，飞机和电影接连问世，会有更多人拥有汽车；但从另一方面讲，这也是充满恐惧的时代，因为没有人会知道新世界将会是怎样的。”

Fellowes also touches on why he thinks the show has been such a hit with audiences.

"I think on the whole there is a kind of decency about the morality of Downton. All these people, really, from the kitchen maid to the Earl, are trying to do their best," says Fellowes. "That is something that the writer needs to serve."

费罗斯还谈到了为何《唐顿庄园》会正中红心，吸引那么多观众：“我认为，在整体上，唐顿拥有一种道德上的体面和端庄。所有人，从在厨房里服务的女佣到伯爵，每个人都竭尽所能做到最好。而这就是编剧需要传达的。”

"Then there is a balance between funny, trivial plots and really serious, life plots. You have to get that right. It's like a see-saw - you're trying to nudge it this way and that to get both of those reasonably evenly represented," he continues.

费罗斯继续说道：“然后，就是平衡那些有趣琐碎和非常严肃的生活情节。这点必须要掌握好。这就像在拉锯，你必须掌握好力道和技巧，使得两种状态合理且均匀。”

而在第3季，"双M"Matthew和Mary的关系也很值得期待，丹·史蒂文斯在采访中说：“他和Mary的关系已经改变了。他们两人都成长了一些。我想那种越来越强的责任感，慢慢让他们开始更加认真地对待人和事。”而关于婚礼，看来大家不会失望：“它美极了，米歇尔·道克瑞的礼服非常夺目。”
