英劇推薦：美國(guó)人評(píng)選最偉大的英劇TOP10

　　Weddings. Candy. TV Drama. There are simply some things the Brits traditionally do better than Americans.

　　婚禮、糖果、電視劇，這些只是英國(guó)人習(xí)慣上比美國(guó)人做的要好的幾件事。

　　In celebration of BBC America’s launch of its new Drama, we asked readers to submit their choices for the Greatest British TV Drama of all-time.

　　在慶祝BBC美國(guó)發(fā)布新劇之際，我們請(qǐng)觀眾選出他們心目中歷來(lái)最好的英國(guó)電視劇。

　　Let’s get started with No. 10.

　　讓我們從第十名開(kāi)始揭曉吧!

　　10. Upstairs Downstairs (1971-1975)

　　《樓上樓下》(1971-1975)

　　Dramas about class divisions are as British as windy moors, and the soapy goings-on at 165 Eaton Place, home to the wealthy Bellamys and their servants, captivated audiences worldwide in its initial run in the early ’70s.

　　這部關(guān)于社會(huì)階層的電視劇刻畫(huà)了像吹牛的摩爾一家這樣的英國(guó)人，并講述了其圓滑的行事作風(fēng)，這一家人住在伊頓廣場(chǎng)165號(hào)，而富有的貝拉米一家和他的仆人們也住在這個(gè)地方。70年代早期，這部電視劇剛播出就迷住了世界各地的觀眾。

　　9. I, Claudius (1976)

　　《我，克勞迪烏斯》(1976)

　　The miniseries, charting the rise of a stammering Roman emperor, managed to be just as dishy and enjoyable with fewer funds. Most deserving of praise is the obscenely talented cast.

　　這部電視連續(xù)劇記錄了一位說(shuō)話結(jié)巴的羅馬君主的崛起，故事既吸引人又有趣，而且花費(fèi)了很少的資金就拍攝完成了。最值得贊揚(yáng)的就是非常有才的演員們了。8. Sherlock (2010 – )

　　8. Sherlock (2010 – )

　　《神探夏洛克》(2010-)

　　Much of the British series’ acclaim is owed to Steven Moffat‘s clever update of Holmes’s tales from 19th century London to the Digital Age. But credit must be given to Benedict Cumberbatch, an actor of endless intellectual and comedic gifts, who has vigorously shaken the cobwebs off the legendary detective.

　　大家對(duì)這部英劇的稱(chēng)贊主要?dú)w功于史蒂芬·莫法特，是他以獨(dú)創(chuàng)性的改編形式把福爾摩斯的故事從19世紀(jì)的倫敦帶到了數(shù)字化時(shí)代。但是，我們同樣要稱(chēng)贊本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇，這位擁有無(wú)窮的知識(shí)和喜劇天賦的演員有力地?cái)[脫了這位傳說(shuō)中的偵探的束縛。

　　7. MI-5 (2002 – )

　　《軍情五處》(2002-)

　　In an early episode, a lead character gets offed in an absolutely gruesome fashion. No one is safe in this spy drama. This is true white-knuckle, so-suspenseful-it’s-nauseating drama.

　　在這部劇早期的情節(jié)中，一位主角以一種非?？膳碌姆绞奖粴⒑α?。在這部間諜劇中，沒(méi)有人是安全的，真心讓人神經(jīng)緊張又焦慮，是一部令人憎惡的電視劇。

　　6. State of Play (2003)

　　《政局密云》(2003)

　　This drama is about ambitious journalists investigating a political conspiracy. Bill Nighy is in his best role to date as shrewd news editor Cameron Foster.

　　這部劇講述了野心勃勃的記者們調(diào)查政治陰謀的故事。比爾·奈伊在這部劇中扮演的精明的新聞編輯卡梅隆·福斯特是他迄今為止最好的角色。

　　5. Prime Suspect (1991 – 2006)

　　《頭號(hào)疑犯》(1991-2006)

　　A “less dark” version of the British crime thriller: Helen Mirren‘s DCI Jane Tennison doggedly struggled against obstacles both external (assorted killers, sexism on the force) and internal (her addictions).

　　一部“不那么黑暗的”英國(guó)犯罪驚悚片：海倫·米倫的中央情報(bào)總監(jiān)簡(jiǎn)·特尼森頑強(qiáng)地與外部(各種各樣的殺手、情報(bào)局里的性別歧視)和內(nèi)部(她的癖嗜)障礙作斗爭(zhēng)。

　　4. Life On Mars (2006 – 2007)

　　《火星生活》(2006-2007)

　　The opening credits of Life On Mars set up the show’s whole concept. And the writers used the retro setting to explore racism and sexism in ’70s England.

　　《火星生活》的開(kāi)場(chǎng)就設(shè)定了這部劇的整體概念。作家用復(fù)古的設(shè)置來(lái)探索70年代英國(guó)的種族歧視和性別歧視。

　　3. Pride & Prejudice (1995)

　　《傲慢與偏見(jiàn)》(1995)

　　Considering the numerous adaptations of this Jane Austen classic, Fitzwilliam Darcy has been played by everyone from Laurence Olivier to Matthew Macfadyen, but it was Colin Firth, and his iconic self-baptism in that lake, that made legions of fans swoon.

　　就簡(jiǎn)·奧斯汀這部經(jīng)典作品的各種改編版本而論，從勞倫斯·奧利弗到馬修·麥克菲迪恩，人人都扮演過(guò)菲茲威廉·達(dá)西，然而，是科林·弗思以及他在那片湖中標(biāo)志性的自我考驗(yàn)使得眾多粉絲為這個(gè)角色而神魂顛倒。

　　2. North and South (2004)

　　《南方與北方》(2004)

　　A Southern minister’s daughter fights an attraction to a repressed Northern cotton mill owner whom she initially disdains. The miniseries transformed Richard Armitage from a little-known stage and screen actor into one of Britain’s leading heartthrobs.

　　一位南方長(zhǎng)官的女兒努力吸引一位被鎮(zhèn)壓的北方紡織廠主人，而最初的時(shí)候，她十分蔑視他。這部連續(xù)劇使理查德·阿米蒂奇從一個(gè)默默無(wú)聞的舞臺(tái)劇兼電影演員成為英國(guó)最重要的萬(wàn)人迷之一。

　　1. Doctor Who (1963 – )

　　《神秘博士》(1963-)

　　It’s about an alien from the planet Gallifrey who jet-sets around time and space in a blue police box. Does that make it any less a drama than, say, Cracker? (BAFTA couldn’t resist awarding the long-running sci-fi series its coveted “Best Drama” trophy back in 2006.)

　　這部劇講述了來(lái)自格里弗雷行星的一名外星人憑借一個(gè)藍(lán)色的警察崗?fù)ぴ跁r(shí)間和空間中隨意穿梭的故事。這使得這部劇不如《解密高手》這類(lèi)的電視劇嗎?(早在2006年，英國(guó)電影與電視藝術(shù)學(xué)院就忍不住為這部長(zhǎng)篇科幻作品頒發(fā)令人垂涎的“最佳影片”獎(jiǎng)。)
