that I do want Downton to be my future.

我希望让唐顿成为我的未来
I'm glad.

我很欣慰
You must have thought me an awful prig when I first arrived.

初次拜访时您一定觉得我很自以为是吧
Not a prig.

那倒没有
Just a man thrust into something he never wanted or envisaged.

你不过是对你强加于你的事有些抵触罢了
I could only see the absurdity of the whole thing.

我那时觉得一切都很荒谬
- I'm sorry. - Well, there are absurdities involved,

-对不起 -确实有荒谬之处
as I know well enough.

我深有体会
Possibilities, too, and I was blind to them.

也暗含机遇而我却视而不见
I was determined not to let it change me.

我不想让这一切改变我
It was absurd. If you don't change, you die.

真是可笑不懂变通只有死路一条
Do you think so?

你真这么想
