Fresh off the official news that The Vampire Diaries is sticking around for another season, series star Ian Somerhalder visited the THR Cover Lounge to chat about next week’s finale.
官方刚刚公布了《吸血鬼日记》第四季获续定的消息，剧集主演伊恩•萨默海尔德近日造访the THR Cover Lounge，畅聊将于下周播出的第三季大结局。
What is known of the season three closer is this: flashbacks highlight Matt and Elena’s imperfect relationship, Mystic Falls in simpler times and the accident that killed Elena’s parents. “It’s a small little runner that goes throughout the episode as Elena is looking back at a part of her life when things were more simple, at least from a supernatural level,” executive producer Julie Plec said in April.
关于第三季的结局，目前所掌握的内容是：马特和埃琳娜之间的冷战，神秘瀑布镇曾经简单宁静的生活，令到埃琳娜的父母丧生的那场车祸将在闪回画面中一一出现。本剧的监制朱莉•普莱克在四月接受采访时曾说过：“在埃琳娜回想从前祥和安宁（至少从超自然世界的层面来讲）的生活时，这些闪回镜头会贯穿全集出现。”
With Elena’s decision about what her future might look like (with Damon, with Stefan or with neither) looming, what was the final scene Somerhalder shot?
“I was getting my ass kicked,” he recalled. “The last shot of the finale of the show, [I’m] just getting beaten down. I got my ass kicked a lot in that episode.”
问：随着埃琳娜即将对自己的未来作出决定（是选择达蒙、斯特凡还是独自一人），你拍摄的最后一场戏是怎样的？
答：“我被狠狠揍了一顿。”萨默海尔德回忆道，：“这部剧结局的最后一个镜头中，我正被人打得很惨呢。在结局篇里我挨打的戏份很多。”
Vampire Diaries is known to pull the rug from under you, so how bloody will the finale get?
“The season three finale will have some red blood cells in it,” Somerhalder said. “It’s pretty bloody.”
问：该剧的剧情常常令人始料不及，那结局的血腥程度会有多大呢？
答：“第三季结局会很暴力。”萨默海尔德说，“场面相当血腥。”
But the actor hints that Damon will rise to his true potential by the end of the season in the way “the audience needs him to.”“At the end of this season, he actually starts using a little more logic and it’s refreshing,” he reveals.What are your thoughts on what this could mean?
不过他同时暗示在本季结尾达蒙会以“观众期待的”方式回归他最本质的真我。萨默海尔德透露：“在结局处，达蒙开始变得更为理性，这将令到观众眼前一亮。”你怎么理解他说的这句话呢？
