　　O'Brien is leaving "Downton Abbey," and unlike Dan Stevens' departure, not many viewers will be sad to see the notoriouslycattymaid to Lady Grantham go.

　　第一女仆O'Brien也要离开唐顿庄园了。和大表哥Dan Stevens的出走不同，大概没有多少观众会因为伯爵夫人的贴身女仆——招人烦的O'Brien的离开而难过吧。

　　"I'm not doing any more," Siobhan Finneran, who played O'Brien, revealed to the Press Association,. "O'Brien is a thoroughlydespicablehuman being -- that was great to play."

　　“我不想再演了，”O'Brien的扮演者Siobhan Finneran向英国联合社透露说，“O'Brien这个角色实在太卑鄙了，不过能演这个角色是件很棒的事情。”

　　Though Masterpiece confirmed that O'Brien would not appear in "Downton Abbey" Season 4, the door seems open for her return.

　　尽管已经证实了O'Brien将不会在第四季的唐顿庄园中出现，但是，唐顿庄园的大门永远向她敞开。

　　O'Brien has been a love-to-hate character throughout her three seasons on the show, from causing Cora's miscarriagein Season 1 to the bitterfeudshe had with under-butler Thomas that led to her outing him in Season 3.

　　在前三季中，O'Brien是一个让人爱恨交加的角色。第一季中，是她导致了Cora的流产，而在第三季中，又是她排挤和自己长期不和的男仆Thomas。

　　"Downton Abbey" fans are still reelingfrom Stevens' departure from the series, which culminatedin Matthew Crawley's untimely death in the Season 3 finale. Many viewers were furiousover Matthew's death, indicated by a HuffPost poll that, at time of publish, showed 85 percent weren't happy and 15 saw how it could be good for "Downton Abbey."

　　唐顿庄园的粉丝们还在为第三季最后大表哥的猝然离世而无法释怀。通过HuffPost的投票显示，很多观众对于大表哥的去世很生气，85%的观众表示不开心，而剩下的15%则表示想看看唐顿庄园要如何收场。

　　But creator Julian Fellowes said there was no other way to let the character go.

　　不过，制作人Julian Fellowes表示，要让一个角色离开，没有（比让他去死）更好的方法。

　　"I had hoped that we would have one episode of this fourth season that I’m writing now, so we could have ended the Christmas episode on a happy note -– the baby, everything lovely. And then kill [Matthew] in the first episode of the next [season]," Fellowes explained to The New York Times in January. "But [Stevens] didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want his death to dominatethe Christmas special, so that’s why we killed him at the very, very end. In a way I think it works quite well because we begin [Season] 4 six months later. We don’t have to do funeralsand all that stuff. That’s all in the past by then."

　　“我现在正在写第四季的剧本，原本我希望能在这一季中安排一集结束大表哥的戏份。这样第三季的圣诞特辑就能有一个美好的结局——婴儿的出世，一切都那么美好。然后在第四季的第一集中让大表哥去死。”唐顿庄园的制作人Fellowes在1月的时候对纽约时报这么说，“但是，Stevens（大表哥的扮演者）不想那么做。我不想让大表哥的死成为整个圣诞特辑的主旋律，所以我们把他的死安排在了最后。这样的安排我认为是比较好的，因为第四季还要过一段时间才会播。在新一季中，我们不需要举办葬礼及其相关事宜。一切都过去了。”

　　How will O'Brien leave "Downton Abbey"? Will she die? Will she be fired? And will you miss her? Share your thoughts in the comments?
