Just as fans were recovering from the particularly graphic and grisly end to Dr. Sara Tancredi (played by Sarah Wayne Callies), there's even more drastic news that's just been announced regarding the third season of Prison Break. The show is going on an extended hiatus.

粉絲們剛剛從莎拉醫(yī)生那令人震驚的死亡鏡頭恢復(fù)過來，就有一個關(guān)于《越獄》第三季的更爆炸的消息傳出。這部劇將有一個很長的停播期。

Fox has confirmed the earlier rumblings that the show will be taking a break starting in December, and won't return until 2008.

?？怂闺娨暸_證實了這條傳聞，這部劇集將于12月開始停播，直到08年四月才會回來。

The show is having what's called a “fall finale” on December 17. After a four month break, the first episode after the hiatus is slated to air on April 24. Once the late spring season starts up again, all the remaining episodes will run until early June.

劇集將在12月17日播放“秋季結(jié)局”。之后的第一集將于4月24日播出。明年春季檔一旦播出，所有剩下的劇集就會一直播放到六月初。（小編注：這段話的“once”很說明問題?。?/font>

When the show has its fall finale, there will have been about 12 to 13 episodes run in the fall season. How many episodes will ultimately run in the spring season remains to be seen.

這部劇在秋季結(jié)局的時候，整個秋季檔大約會播放12到13集，在明年春季檔最終能有多少集被播放我們?nèi)匀徊坏枚?font color="#3366ff">（小編注：果然啊果然~~）

In the interim, Fox will air The Sarah Connor Chronicles, now renamed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, in Prison Break's usual timeslot. This new drama is based on the stories featured in the Terminator movie series, and will definitely benefit from its new timeslot with 24.

在這段時間里，?？怂闺娨暸_將在《越獄》播放的時間段播放《莎拉傳》，現(xiàn)在被重新命名為《終結(jié)者外傳》。這部新劇依托《終結(jié)者》系列電影中的重要角色，而且它的新時段明顯會使它和《24》得到雙贏。（小編注：這個也不好說，最近劇集里叫莎拉的好像都不太好過。比如《越獄》的這只和《C.S.I》的這一只。）

Some Prison Break fans are alarmed by this development, worrying that the hiatus might have a more ominous meaning behind it. Several fans sites post messages from the Prison Break faithful in which they worry if the show will actually make it back from hiatus at all.

一些《越獄》粉絲對事態(tài)發(fā)展感到恐慌，他們擔(dān)心停播的背后有不祥的意義。一些粉絲站點發(fā)布了《越獄》的消息，在消息中對劇集是否真的能在停播后回歸表示了實實在在的擔(dān)心。

However, other fans have noted that due to the international success of the show, it's highly unlikely that Fox would not bring back the show to at least finish out the season. The show is – unlike many other dramas – to have an ultimate story arc, and so at some point, the Prison Break gang will have to stop running when the show comes to its natural conclusion. For now, at least, Fox is saying this four month break is definitely not the end.

不過，剩下的粉絲們表示鑒于這部劇集在國際上的成功（小編：估計中國貢獻(xiàn)了很大力量），?？怂闺娨暸_至少會讓這部劇播放到本季結(jié)束。這部劇集和其他劇集不同，它有一個基本的故事框架。所以從某些方面來說，越獄幫將不得不在劇集自然結(jié)束時停止逃亡。到目前為止，至少福克斯電視臺說這四個月的停播絕對不是《越獄》的終結(jié)。
