英劇《神探夏洛克》的編劇暗示稱，BBC出品的《神探夏洛克》圣誕特輯引用了一個秘密典故，只有說漢語的人才能懂。此舉旨在向廣大亞洲影迷致敬。

Steven Moffat disclosed the special episode of Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, will be full of secret clues for die-hard fans of the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels, as well as something extra for its Chinese audience.
史蒂文·莫法特透露道，《神探夏洛克》的圣誕特輯主角依然是本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇和馬丁·弗瑞曼，這集對柯南·道爾原版小說的死忠粉來說充滿了無限的隱秘線索，此外還給中國觀眾帶來了小驚喜。

The programme is already a key part of BBC Worldwide’s sales and is watched by 98 million fans in China, who have special names for its stars: “Peanut” for Watson and “Curly Fu” for Holmes.
《神探夏洛克》在BBC全球的銷量中占據重要地位，觀看該劇的中國粉絲達9800萬，這些中國影迷還給兩位主演起了昵稱：華生又叫“花生”，福爾摩斯又叫“卷?！薄?/p>

The seasonal episode, a one-off entitled The Abominable Bride, will seek to extend that close relationship, as it goes back to the Victorian era with a Sherlock Holmes ghost story.
這集季播劇定名為《可惡的新娘》，故事背景回溯至維多利亞時期，圍繞夏洛克的一個鬼故事展開，繼續描繪“卷?！迸c“花生”的緊密關系。

Moffat told the Radio Times: “It’s a new story, but if you know the original stories, you’ll see that it’s fashioned out of quite a few others.
莫法特對廣播時代（Radio Times）說道：“這是個全新的故事。如果你讀過柯南·道爾的原作，就能發現這集雜糅了很多故事?！?/p>

“As ever with us, we’ve chosen several and there are loads of references. One of them you have to be able to speak Chinese to get.”
“我們跟原來一樣，選了好幾個故事，也參考了很多。其中一個典故只有會說漢語的人才能懂?！?/p>
