Why did you apologize to that man?

It's not his business what we do.

I always apologize when I'm in the wrong. It's a habit of mine.

The plain fact is, Mr Bates, through no fault of his own,

is not able to fulfill the extra duties expected of him.

He can't lift, he can't serve at table, he's dropping things all over the place.

On a night like tonight, he should act as a third footman.

例如今晚 他应充当第三男仆

As it is, my Lord, we may have to have a maid in the dining room.

可是 老爷 现在只好用女仆代替

Cheer up, Carson. There are worse things happening in the world.

行了 Carson 世上还有更糟的事

Not worse than a maid serving a duke.

So you're quite determined?

It's a hard decision, your Lordship, a very hard decision,

这是个艰难的决定 老爷 情非得已

but the honour of Downton is at stake.

但事关唐顿大体

Don't worry, Carson. I know all about hard decisions
