When “Tyler” was saying goodbye to Caroline and talking about her beautiful future, was he already Klaus, at that point?
Yeah. We definitely were hinting at that with the “you’re beautiful and you’ll have a great future” line. That was a classic Klaus-Caroline line, so we wanted to give a little hint there. All that smooching and all that emotion wasn’t Tyler at all, in fact, was Klaus.

当”Tyler”和Caroline告别的时候说的关于美好未来的一番话，在某种程度来说，他已经被Klaus附身了吗？

的确。我们确实在这句“你很美而且你会有一个美好的未来”暗藏着线索。那是经典的Klaus-Caroline感情线，所以我们想在这里给一些暗示。所有的这些亲吻拥抱和情感完全都不是Tyler的，事实上，正是Klaus。

We didn’t see Klaus’s body turn to ash, so I assume there’s some plan in place to keep Joseph Morgan in the mix.
Yep. I’d say there’s a fairly significant chance, if not a 99.9% likelihood that body did not burn up in that coffin.

我们并没有亲眼看见Klaus的身体烧成灰，所以我猜测是不是在这些事中有玄机使Joseph Morgan以后继续参演？

是的。我只能说这是一个颇为重要的转机，应该有99.9%的可能性是他的身体并没有在棺材里燃烧殆尽。

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How long have you known Elena would end season 3 in transition to become a vampire?
JULIE PLEC: The ending had been in the works for about two years. In the first series of books, that’s what happens to her. When Kevin [Williamson] and I first came on the show, we said, “Well, it can’t happen to her the way it happens in the books,” which is on, like, page 200 of the first book. [Laughs] That felt obviously too soon, and rushed, and we didn’t want to make a show about a teenage girl who instantly becomes a vampire. But we always knew that her journey would take her there eventually, and we just kept riding the wave of when it felt right. You’ve got a girl who just sorta lost her last adult living family member when Aunt Jenna died last year, so when we started this season, what we really wanted to do was begin this relationship with Alaric as her guardian and mentor, and then tear that away from her at the end leaving her and her brother with nobody. It felt like now was the time — when you’re left with no grownup, no adult supervision, no parent, no guardian — for Elena to experience the next evolution of her journey. All the stuff that we did with having her get stronger over the course of the year, training and getting in touch with her physical self, and all the grief and all the emotion that she went through, all the compassion that she has for everybody, it will all play into next year and what kind of person and vampire she will actually be — if she should choose to see the transition through.

娱乐周刊：你们策划Elena将在第三季结束的时候转化为吸血鬼这件事多久了？
JULIE PLEC：这个结局已经酝酿大概两年了。在原著的第一本里，就已经发生在她身上了。当Kevin (Williamson) 和我第一次接受这部剧时，我们就说，“嗯，不能让她的这段剧情和书里发生的一样，”好像才到第一本的200多页就发生了。（笑）这感觉明显太快了，太匆忙了，而且我们不想制作一部一个还处在青少年时期的女孩立刻变为吸血鬼的美剧。但是我们一直都知道她的经历最终会把她带入到这样的境地，我们只是随着剧情的起伏推进让一切发生的恰到好处。你已经了解到去年Jenna姨妈死后一个女孩差不多已经失去家里最后一位大人，所以我们开始策划这一季时，我们真心希望Alaric能够成为她的监护人和良师益友，然后再拆散他们直到最后孤单的留下她和她的弟弟。现在时机已成熟——当你在还没长大，没有成年人的管理，没有父母，没有监护人时独自生活——该让Elena经历她人生旅程的再次变革了。我们编排的所有这些情节为了使她通过这些年成长的坚强，训练她，锻炼她的身体，而她所经历的悲伤和情感，她对大家的同情，都会在明年她会真正成为什么样的人和吸血鬼中体现出来（如果她选择完成转化的话）。

Obviously, she will transition.
There will be a discussion to be had about it at the beginning, but the road we’re going down is pretty balls out.

显然，她会完成转化。
在下一季开始的剧情里将会讨论这个问题，但接下来的剧情发展是显而易见的。

And Klaus really is the start of Damon, Stefan, and Caroline’s bloodline?
Yes, that is the truth.
那么Klaus真的是Damon，Stefan和Caroline血统的起源吗？
毫无疑问，这是事实。
