So, as some of you know, Matthew Crawley meets a tragic end in the Season 3 finale when he is driving home from the hospital, on top of the world after the birth of his son, and is struck by another car and dies. It is because actor Dan Stevens wanted to leave the show, not because creators just decided to completely emotionally devastate the fans twice in one season.
在《唐顿庄园》第三季大结局中，刚刚得知得知孩子出生喜讯，一颗心充满欢乐的大表哥Matthew Crawley从医院回唐顿的路上出车祸死了。而出现这样的情节不是因为编剧打算为下一季打伏笔，而是因为Matthew的扮演者Dan Stevens决定离开剧组。

The Daily Mail is reporting that the show, which starts shooting Season 4 in just a couple weeks, is auditioning "posh and pretty" actors to play Lady Mary's new love interest.
《每日邮报》报道，离《唐顿庄园》第四季开拍只有几周时间了，将会有一个“优雅美男”演员走进Lady Mary的感情世界。

Gareth Neame, the executive producer for NBC-Universal International, says that this will be a predominant storyline of Season 4.
NBC环球国际执行制片人Gareth Neame表示，这个新角色和Lady Mary之间的故事将会是《唐顿庄园》第四季的主线。
