美國第一夫人也是《唐頓》迷 向電視臺索要DVD大綱
According to The Sun, Michelle Obama requested DVDs of the third season — which has already concluded in the U.K. but doesn’t premiere in the U.S. — and her wish was granted.
據英國《太陽報》消息，美國第一夫人米歇爾•奧巴馬向英國電視臺主管索要該劇第三季的DVD版，該季已經在英國播放結束了，但還沒在美國首映；而且她的願望實現了。
“They were very polite and we were more than happy to sort out some DVDs to send over,” an ITV source told the tabloid.
消息人士還說：“他們很禮貌，我們也非常高興向他們送去一些該劇的DVD。”
The network’s decision to send the DVDs abroad could have something to do with the fact that Mrs. Obama has made her love of the series known and even invited the show’s stars Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern to the White House.
電視臺決定提供DVD可能證明了一個事實：米歇爾使這個系列電視更出名了，甚至邀請這個電視的演員休•博納維爾和伊麗莎白•麥戈文到白宮。
Or, it could be Big-Bird related. President Obama defended PBS — “Downton’s” U.S. broadcast home — in the first presidential debate of 2012, while his opponent Mitt Romney wasn’t quite as gung ho about it.
或者，它還與大選有關。總統奧巴馬在今年的第一次總統競選演講時爲PBS辯護，而PBS是美國《唐頓莊園》的播出電視臺；但他的對手羅姆尼並沒有像他那樣做。
“Downton Abbey” Season 3 premieres in the U.S. on Sun., Jan. 6 at 9 p.m.
據悉，《唐頓莊園》第三季定於2013年1月6日在美國播出。
