喬治·克魯尼客串《唐頓莊園》聖誕特輯
George Clooney has a new title: Lord Hollywood。
現在，喬治·克魯尼有了一個新頭銜：好萊塢伯爵。At least he does in the “Downton Abbey” charity skit that aired Friday in the U.K to benefit the British charity Text Santa。
這個頭銜在英國週五播送的《唐頓莊園》慈善喜劇短片中出現，該短劇是爲英國慈善項目“短信聖誕老人”籌集善款。The movie star played a version of himself in the sketch, which saw Lord Robert Crowley (Hugh Bonneville) discovering with the help of an angel (played by “Absolutely Fabulous” star Joanna Lumley) what life at Downton Abbey would be like without him。
這位著名演員在劇中本色出演。曾出演英國電視劇《荒唐阿姨》(Absolutely Fabulous)的喬安娜·林莉(Joanna Lumley)在劇中飾演了一個有魔法的天使，她將飾演羅伯特·克勞利伯爵(Robert Crowley )的休·博內威特(Hugh Bonneville)帶離莊園，讓他看到了唐頓莊園的人們在沒有自己的情況下是如何生活的。
In the alternate reality, the Earl of Grantham is aghast to learn that his wife Cora has married another man: George Oceans Gravity, Marquis of Hollywood, otherwise known as Lord Hollywood (Clooney)。
這位格蘭瑟姆伯爵(the Earl of Grantham )驚訝地發現自己被一位名爲喬治·海洋·重力(George Oceans Gravity)的好萊塢伯爵所取代，妻子喬拉( Cora )嫁給了這位人稱好萊塢伯爵(克魯尼飾)的男人。The skit indulged in many winks to the audience, starting with Hollywood’s charms working not only on Crowley’s wife but even his mother Violet (Maggie Smith)， who faints after receiving a kiss from him。
觀衆會看到克魯尼在劇中頻頻拋媚眼獻香吻，除了對克勞利的妻子外，還讓飾演克勞利的母親維奧萊特(Violet)的瑪吉·史密斯(Maggie Smith)因被其親吻手背而高興得暈了過去。Another wink was when the “Downton” cast assembled for a selfie with Clooney’s character, reminiscent of the famous Oscar selfie initiated by host Ellen DeGeneres。
另一個亮點是《唐頓莊園》的演員們和克魯尼拍了一張自拍照，讓人想起由今年奧斯卡頒獎典禮的主持人艾倫·德傑尼勒斯(Ellen DeGeneres)發起的著名奧斯卡自拍照。“This is ridiculous,” Crowley grumbles. “That man has the entire household behaving like fools。”
“這太荒唐了，”克勞利在劇中抱怨，“這個男人把我家搞得一團糟。”Luckily, the patriarch realizes that Downton is better with him, returning him to his life with his family, with the skit ending with the cast singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas。”
幸運的是，這位大家長[微博]終於意識到唐頓莊園不能沒有自己，讓天使幫他重回了莊園，整場短劇以演員們唱着“聖誕節快樂”的歌曲結束。For those who want even more “Downton Abbey,” the drama’s fifth season will debut in the U.S. on Jan. 4 on PBS。
