Dame Maggie Smith has revealed she has never watched a single episode of her ratings hit Downton Abbey.
老夫人玛吉·史密斯出演了收视率颇高的《唐顿庄园》，而她自己透露说这部片子她一集都没有看过。

The 78-year-old actress who plays the Dowager Countess of Grantham in the ITV series said she would find it too frustrating to see things she could have done better.
这位78岁高龄的女演员在英国ITV电视台的连续剧《唐顿庄园》扮演格兰瑟姆伯爵夫人，玛吉·史密斯说看自己演过的片子让她很懊恼，因为她明明可以演得更好的。

But in an interview for the US TV show 60 Minutes, she said she may well tune in after she leaves the programme.
不过在美国电视节目《60分钟》的采访中说道，等她不再演这部戏了以后她很有可能会去看。

The veteran screen star has appeared in all three series of the period drama which has drawn huge Sunday night audiences, and has now become a Christmas Day fixture.
这位老戏骨在三季《唐顿庄园》中都参加了演出，这部片子每周日晚播出，吸引了大量观众，并且成为圣诞节固定节目。

Asked whether she was proud of the programme, she responded: ''I was just pausing because I've never actually seen it. I don't sit down and watch it. No, I've never watched it.''
当被问及她是否以这部片子为傲时，她回答道：“我刚才之所以愣了一下是因为我从来没有看过这部片子。我没有坐在电视机前看过。我从来没看过。”

Presenter Steve Kroft pointed out that she was possibly ''the only person in England'' who had not seen it.
节目主持人Steve Kroft说，老夫人可能是“全英国上下唯一一个”没有看过《唐顿庄园》的人。

Dame Maggie replied: ''Well, that's a record then isn't it, of some sort?''
玛吉·史密斯说：“嗯，这算是破记录了，在某种意义上来说。”

She went on: ''I will look at it when it's all over, maybe, because it's frustrating - I always see things that I would like to do differently, and think 'why in the name of God did I do that?'.''
她继续说道：“等到电视剧完结了以后我有可能会去看的，因为这太懊恼了——我看了以后总会想着要是当初没有那样就好了，我会想‘上帝啊，为什么我会这样演’。”

The programme has also become a major hit in the United States. Dame Maggie said the thing she took from the role was ''the delight of acting''.
这部电视剧在美国也同样大红大紫。玛吉·史密斯说她在这个角色中体会到了“表演的乐趣”。
