Endeavour:ShaunEvans-“I’m getting better at the opera but no better at the crosswords”
《摩斯探长前传》Shaun Evans谈到：“我在歌剧上有所进步，但是填字游戏还是没有进展”
Asthe ITV drama returns, we talk to its lead actor about Morse's passions and whythe detective is destined to remain an outsider in the Oxford police force
在ITV的电视剧回归的时候，我们采访到了该剧的主演，讨论到摩斯的激情以及为什么他注定是牛津警局势力的外人。

In the pilot, wesaw Endeavour onthe verge of resigning. So is he destined to remain an outsider in this newseries?
在试映集中，我们看到摩斯正准备辞职。所以他在新的系列中注定一直是一个外人吗？
Yes. His mind works in a specific way, which is useful for solving crimes, yetbeing in Oxford and in the police force is not the best environment for him.But I don’t think he would know what would be best for him – some people arejust like that though, aren’t they? Slightly out of joint wherever they go.Whatever he was doing it would never be perfect.
是的。他的想法非常的不一样，这种想法在解决案件上很有用，但是在牛津的警局中，这种警察的势力对他而言并不是最好的环境。但是我并不认为他知道什么对他是最好的-有些人就是这个样子的，难道不是吗？无论他们走到哪里总是有点不合群。无论他做什么总是不完美。

We get to meet PC Strange in the openingepisode, who Morse fans know will eventually overtake him and become his boss.What does that say about Endeavour’s character?
我们在开场的剧集中会看到警员Strange，摩斯探长的影迷都知道在后面的剧情中，摩斯将会取代他并且成为他的上司。这对《摩斯探长前传》中角色的塑造有什么影响？
Endeavour isn’t someone who is immediately destined for greatness. If youreally pay attention to the story, you’ll see that we’re drip fed things abouthis past that offer clues about the nature of his character. And then in thelast episode, Morse has to go back to his family home to see his dad. I don’twant to spoil it, but his dad is on his deathbed and you get to glimpse therelationship that Endeavour has with his stepmother, his sister and his father.In the last half hour of that final episode, there’s a very clear indication ofwhy this person is the way he is. It suddenly makes sense.
Endeavour并不是那种一下子就注定变得伟大的人。如果你真正仔细看这个故事，你会发现我们在一点一点地讲述过去的事情，这些事情能够为角色的本性提供线索。在最后一集中，摩斯不得不回到家探望他的父亲。我并不想剧透，但是在他的父亲已经到了临终的时候，你可以略微看到一点摩斯和继母，姐妹和父亲的关系。在最后一集的后半个小时里，有非常明显的说明为什么他会是这样的人。这一点变得非常重要。

How good is your knowledge of crosswords,opera and classic cars?
你对填字游戏，戏剧和经典汽车的了解怎么样？
I’m getting better at the opera, but no better at the crosswords. I’m a gooddriver, though – I won’t have it said that I’m not! It’s a beautiful car todrive, temperamental like all good things are, but so well made. It’s one ofthe great things about playing a character from this time period. The suits arewell made, the cars are beautiful – everything has just got a good qualityabout it.
我在戏剧上有所进步，但是填字游戏就不行。我是一个好的司机，当然我不会说我不是的！它（摩斯的经典座驾捷豹）开起来非常舒服，它和所有好的东西一样喜怒无常，但是它制作精良。这是扮演那个时代的角色的最棒的事情之一。那些西装都很精良，汽车也很漂亮-所有的东西都质量上乘。
