周一 Monday

opportune /ɔpə'tju:n/ 

adj. 恰好的

All good things must come to an end, even excellent procedurals based on the deductive adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
所有的好东西都有结束的一天,即使这部精彩的探案剧是以夏洛克·福尔摩斯的侦探故事为蓝本,也一样有终结。

Deadline reports that Elementary will end after its upcoming 13-episode season. 
据《Deadline》报道,《基本演绎法》在播完马上要播的这一季(13集)之后,就要结束了。

This news comes one week after the show reportedly wrapped shooting for Season 7.
第七季开拍的消息传出后刚刚一周,就传出了这个新闻。

Luckily, if you're worried you'll be left hanging thanks to a cliffhanger cancellation, never fear. 
幸运的是,你不用担心这次的突然取消会让这个坑永远填不上。

Apparently the renewal for the show's seventh season came with the understanding that it would be the series' last, so those pesky loose ends will be tied up when it all comes to an end.
显然,他们在续订第七季的时候就想好这是最后一季了,所以那些悬而未决的坑在这一季结束的时候也都会被填上。

"A lot of parties came together and talked about their positions on the show — both in terms of business and in terms of creative — and we all decided that this was an opportune time to say goodbye to a show that has been very, very good to us," said CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl.
CBS娱乐的总裁Kelly Kahl说:“有很多方面的人参与了关于这部剧的讨论,商业方面和创意方面都有,我们最终认为:如果要和这部绝好的剧说再见,现在正是个合适的时机。”

In addition to a stellar final run, we can also apparently look forward to a bit of a time jump in Season 7, says creator and showrunner Rob Doherty.
另外,这部剧的创作者兼制片人Rob Doherty还说,第七季除了会像恒星毁灭一样耀眼以外,剧情上还会有一次时间跳跃。

"Something that I knew I wanted to do was move forward in time a bit with the characters by the very end," Doherty said, hinting that they took some inspiration for Season 7 from the books.
Doherty说:“我想在结束的时候讲一些角色们未来的生活,这个想法是很明确的。”他还暗示第七季的一些灵感是来源于原著。

"There was a period when Sherlock and Watson were not together, they went down very different paths, and their lives were very different from having been apart. We felt that would be appropriate for our show. A lot was Season 7 working towards that, how can we tell a larger story that would allow us to devise a finale that sets in not so distant future."
“书中有一段里面,夏洛克和华生并没有在一起,他们分道扬镳了,并且他们的生活在分开后产生了巨大的差异。我们觉得这一段很适合放到剧中。第七季的很大一部分都是在往这个方向努力,我们在思考的是:如何通过把结局设定在不远的将来,并以此讲好一个更宏大的故事。”

And Elementary Season 7 will return in the spring of 2019 on CBS.
最后,《基本演绎法》的第七季会于2019年春天在CBS回归。

 

今日词汇

opportune /ɔpə'tju:n/

不难看出,这个词和 opportunity(时机)有关系。

You'll have the opportunities to ask any questions at the end.

你们最后会有机会提任何问题的。

opportune 的意思是“恰好的”、“非常合适的”、“时机正好的”。
