"The Vampire Diaries" continues to add to its cast of characters for Season 4. David Alpay, who is best known for his work on "The Borgais" and "The Tudors," is set to play a college professor who has a particular interest in the supernatural.
《吸血鬼日记》第四季又有新角色加入。David Alpay出演过最被观众熟知的作品是《波吉亚家族》和《都铎王朝》，他在《吸血鬼日记》第四季中将会扮演一个对超自然力量很有兴趣的大学老师。

As we shared last month, Professor Shane will share a particular connection with Bonnie when he first arrives in the fourth episode. TVGuide reveals that he knows her through her family, so we're hoping his introduction will open us up to a little more of Bonnie's background and family history.
我们上个月报道过，这位Shane教授在第四集出现的时候就会和Bonnie产生一种特别的联系。《电视指南》报道他对Bonnie的家族很了解，所以我们也希望能够通过他了解更多Bonnie家族的背景和故事。

In Season 2, when Damon, Alaric, and Elena visited Isobel's offices at Duke University, we learned that Isobel had been doing some serious research on vampires as part of her studies. Let's just say that Shane has a lot in common with Elena's departed bio-mom.
在《吸血鬼日记》第二季中Damon、Alaric和Elena一起去Isobel在杜克大学的办公室的时候，他们发现Isobel对吸血鬼有着很深刻的研究。可以说这位新角色Shane和Elena已经死掉的亲生母亲在这方面有很多相同之处。
