As filming begins today on series three of Sherlock, co-creator Mark Gatiss has revealed the title of the first episode.
热门英剧《神探夏洛克》第三季于今天正式开拍，编剧马克·加蒂斯就在推特上发布了第三季第一集的标题。

The Empty Hearse is a play on words on the name of the original Arthur Conan Doyle story The Empty House, in which the detective returns from the dead.
“The Empty Hearse”（《空棺》）其实是个文字游戏，标题来源于阿瑟·柯南道尔的短篇小说《空屋》，这篇小说讲述在《最后一案》中身亡的夏洛克·福尔摩斯复生。

Gatiss had always said that the first episode – which will finally explain how Sherlock survived an apparently fatal fall at the end of series two – would be at least partly based on the adventure in which Doyle resurrected his creation, but fans had not realised that would go as far as the title.
第三季第一集将最终解释在第二季结束时卷福的假死之谜，加蒂斯可能会根据《空屋伏击案》中福尔摩斯复生的故事来解释，不过光有标题剧迷们可能还无法了解详细剧情。

Series two finale The Reichenbach Fall ended with Sherlock's friend John mourning him in front of his gravestone. Given that his body was not in his coffin when it was buried, and so presumably not in the car that carried it, the title of the new episode may well be a reference to what happened between Sherlock's fall and his "funeral".
《神探夏洛克》第二季最后一集“莱辛巴赫瀑布”中，福尔摩斯的朋友华生在他的墓地前默哀。由于在棺木下葬时福尔摩斯的尸体并不在内，我们可以假定也不在灵车内，所以我们可以推测，第三季第一集的标题有可能指的是福尔摩斯跳楼和他的“葬礼”之前发生的故事。

What the title does not reveal is what Gatiss and co-creator Steven Moffat were referring to when they chose "rat" as the first of the three words they claimed could define each of the new series episodes.
但此前加蒂斯和另一位制作人史蒂文·莫法特曾公布过第三季的三个关键词，所以从新一集的标题中，我们暂时还看不出来第一个关键词“Rat” 具体指的什么。

Given that Moffat has since said the three words "may be misleading, are not titles, are only teases... but might be deliberately designed to get you into a lather", whether "rat", "wedding" and "bow" are indeed clues, or just complete red herrings, is one mystery still waiting to be solved...
莫法特此前曾经说过这三个关键词“可能是误导，不是标题只是调侃之语，可能就是故意让剧迷们白激动的”，所以第三季的三个关键词“Rat, Wedding, Bow” 到底是真正的线索，还是只是转移注意力的话题，这就只能等待第三季播出才能揭晓了。
