《神探夏洛克》的编剧们正在为BBC正式改编《德古拉》。

As first reported by Variety, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat are currently working on a fresh version of Bram Stoker's tale. It'll run for three 90-minute instalments and will be broadcast on Netflix outside of the UK.

《Variety》杂志最先报道称，马克·加蒂斯和史蒂文·莫法特目前正在制作布莱姆·斯托克故事的新版本。剧集将分成三集播出，每集90分钟，并将在英国以外的Netflix平台上播出。

The series, set in 1897, will revolve around the blood-drinking vampire from Transylvania who targets residents of London.

这部电视剧以1897年为背景，故事中心是以伦敦居民为目标的特兰西瓦尼亚嗜血的吸血鬼。

Speaking about the project, the duo said: “There have always been stories about great evil. What’s special about Dracula is that Bram Stoker gave evil its own hero“ with BBC director of content Charlotte Moore adding: “Genius duo Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss turn their attentions to Dracula for unmissable event television on BBC One.”

谈到这个项目，两位主创说：“关于邪恶的故事一直都有。《德古拉》的特别之处在于，布莱姆·斯托克赋予了邪恶独有的英雄内涵，BBC内容总监夏洛特·摩尔补充道：“天才二人组合史蒂文·莫法特和马克·加蒂斯将注意力转向《德古拉》，他们将在BBC1台播出一档不容错过的电视节目”。

The series puts an end to any speculation that Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, will soon return. It aired its latest episode in January 2017.

因此本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇和马丁·弗瑞曼主演的《神探夏洛克》即将回归的猜测就此结束。它在2017年1月播出了最后一集。

British actor Freeman, who has just been confirmed to lead new ITV series A Confession, sparked controversy after seeming to claim that Sherlock's immense success around the world has put a strain on his excitement for the series.

英国演员弗瑞曼刚刚确认将主演英国独立电视台的新剧《认罪》，他说夏洛克在世界范围内获得的成功让他对该系列又激动又紧张，这引发了争议。

Following a heated response from co-star Benedict Cumberbatch, he elaborated upon his original point, adding: “My point with was the expectations can be heavy.”

弗瑞曼的话也引发了了另一位主演本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇的热烈反应，他阐述并补充了自己最初的观点：“我的看法就是，大家的期望太高了”。
