Ending a television series usually means you've been canceled.

一部電視連續(xù)劇的結(jié)束，通常意味著它的拍攝計(jì)劃被取消了。

In the case of ABC's 'Lost,' though, a hit show is going out on its own terms. After three years of planning, the new season, starting Feb. 2, will conclude its six-year run in May.

但美國(guó)廣播公司(ABC)的《迷失》(Lost)卻將“壽終正寢”。經(jīng)過(guò)三年的計(jì)劃后，新一季將在2月2日播出，并于5月份結(jié)束，這部熱門(mén)劇就此將走完它延續(xù)了六年的生命。

Even with the unusual luxury of planning ahead, engineering a graceful exit can be tricky, as 'Seinfeld' and 'The Sopranos' found out when many fans felt cheated. 'Lost' has its own set of challenges. Set on a mystical island after a group of plane-crash survivors are stranded, the show mixes soap opera and sci-fi. It has dozens of complicated plotlines and mysteries to wrap up, and a base of diehard fans who want answers to the show's many still open questions.

雖然難得地進(jìn)行了提前計(jì)劃，但完美謝幕也不是一件容易的事，比如《宋飛外傳》(Seinfeld) 和《黑道家族》(The Sopranos)，它們的結(jié)局就讓很多劇迷有一種受騙的感覺(jué)?！睹允А芬裁媾R著自己的一大堆難題。該劇講的是一群墜機(jī)生還者受困于一座神秘島嶼之后的故事，融合了肥皂劇和科幻的元素。劇中有數(shù)十個(gè)復(fù)雜的敘事線索和迷團(tuán)需要收尾，一群鐵桿劇迷也希望知道很多問(wèn)題的答案。

Earlier this month, President Barack Obama rescheduled his first 'State of the Union' address so it wouldn't conflict with the season premiere. 'I don't foresee a scenario in which the millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in 'Lost' are pre-empted by the president,' White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told the press corps during a briefing. 'You can quote a senior administration official,' he joked.

本月早些時(shí)候，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬(Barack Obama)更改了他首次“國(guó)情咨文”演說(shuō)的時(shí)間安排，以便不與《迷失》新一季的首集播出時(shí)間相沖突。白宮發(fā)言人吉布斯(Robert Gibbs)在一次吹風(fēng)會(huì)上對(duì)記者團(tuán)說(shuō)，我認(rèn)為不會(huì)出現(xiàn)數(shù)百萬(wàn)人想知道《迷失》中的一些結(jié)局、但時(shí)間被總統(tǒng)占據(jù)的情況。他開(kāi)玩笑地說(shuō)，你們可以說(shuō)是一位高級(jí)政府行政官員說(shuō)的。

The show's ratings are still strong, though they have dipped to 11.3 million viewers from a peak of 15.1 million in the 2006-2007 season. 'Lost' is an industry leader in DVD sales, video-on-demand and iTunes downloads, which add several million viewers not included in Nielsen ratings, ABC executives say.

雖然《迷失》的觀眾數(shù)量已經(jīng)從2006年-2007年那一季的1,510萬(wàn)下降到1,130萬(wàn)，但其收視率仍然很高。美國(guó)廣播公司的高管稱(chēng)，《迷失》DVD銷(xiāo)量、視頻點(diǎn)播量和iTunes下載量領(lǐng)先整個(gè)行業(yè)，這幾方面的觀眾有數(shù)百萬(wàn)，尼爾森公司(Nielsen)的收視率調(diào)查沒(méi)有將其計(jì)入。

'Lost' premiered in 2004 with a two-part pilot episode that featured the graphic wreckage of Oceanic flight 815 after it crashed en route from Sydney to Los Angeles. After weeks with no sign of a rescue, survivors try to adjust to life on the island as episodes provide flashbacks to their lives before the crash. In subsequent seasons, episodes provide 'flash forwards' that give titillating hints about what happens to the survivors who get off the island.

《迷失》在2004年播出首集，分上下兩部分，劇中一架大洋航空公司(Oceanic)815航班在從悉尼飛往洛杉磯的路上墜毀。在數(shù)周沒(méi)有救援跡象的情況下，生還者們努力適應(yīng)島上生活，這當(dāng)中又穿插著倒敘了他們?cè)趬嫏C(jī)前的生活。在后面幾季，劇情展開(kāi)“預(yù)敘”，暗示他們?cè)陔x開(kāi)島嶼后將會(huì)遇到什么令人驚心動(dòng)魄的事情。
