  Isobel: I"m so interested to see the hospital.

  Violet: Ooh. Well, you would be, with your late husband a doctor.

  Isobel: Not just my husband. My father and brother, too. And I trained as a nurse during the war.

  Cora: Oh, fancy.

  Isobel: I'd love to be involved in some way.

  Violet: Well, you could always help with the bring-and-buy salenext month. That would be most appreciated.

  Thomas: She's a match for the old lady, she wasn't going to give in.

  Carson: What old lady are you referring to, Thomas? You cannot mean her ladyship, the Dowager Countess. Not if you wish to remain in this house.

  Thomas: No, Mr Carson.

  Carson: William! Are you aware the seam at your shoulder is coming apart?

  William: I felt it go a bit earlier on. I'll mend it when we turn in.

  Carson: You will mend it now and you will never again appear in public in a similar state of undress.

  William: No, Mr Carson.

  Carson: To progress in your chosen career, William, you must remember that a good servant, at all times, retains a sense of pride and dignity that reflects the pride and dignity of the family he serves. And never make me remind you of it again.

  Daisy: I'll do it. And cheer up, we've all had a smack from Mr Carson.

  Anna: You'll be the butleryourself one day, then you'll do the smacking.

  William: I could never be like him. I bet he comes from a line of butlers that goes back to the Conqueror.

  Bates: He learned his business and so will you. Even Mr Carson wasn't born standing to attention. I hope not for his mother's sake.

  I'd love to be involved in some way: 我非常愿意参与其中

  bring-and-buy sale: 义卖会

  She's a match for the old lady: 她和老太太真是棋逢对手。

  Dowager Countess: 伯爵遗孀

  turn in: 上床睡觉

  in a similar state of undress: 衣衫不整

  And never make me remind you of it again: 只此一次下不为例。

  butler: 男管家;仆役长

  我打赌他家祖祖辈辈都是给人做管家的。
