Richard Hammond has addressed the future of The Grand Tour when he, Jeremy Clarkson and James May bid farewell, and prepare to welcome new presenters to the show.
理查德·哈蒙德在与杰里米·克拉克森和詹姆斯·梅分手告别的时候谈到了The Grand Tour的未来，并准备欢迎新的主持人接棒主持。
In a very short while, it’ll be time for fans of the Prime Video motoring series to say goodbye to the trio, who’ve been on screen together for more than two decades.
不久之后，亚马逊Prime汽车节目的粉丝朋友们就要向三贱客告别了。他们已经在荧幕上共事超过20年了。
After the Top Gear revival launched in 2002 on the BBC, the presenting team moved over to the streaming giant to launch The Grand Tour in 2016, with their tenure now coming to an end after eight years.
在BBC于2002年重启Top Gear之后，这支主持团队转向了这家流媒体巨头，于2016年推出了The Grand Tour，而这档节目在八年后也即将走向结束。
Ahead of the release date for the final episode, Richard spoke to Metro.co.uk about the long, emotional journey that he’s been on with his co-stars and with their diehard fans.
在最后一集播出之前，理查德向Metro.co.uk讲述了他与另外两贱和他们的铁杆粉丝们共同经历的这段漫长而又激动人心的旅程。
The 54-year-old also gave his view on the future of The Grand Tour, which is not ending completely - but will be continued by Prime Video with brand new hosts behind the wheel.
54岁的理查德也给出了他对未来The Grand Tour节目的看法。The Grand Tour并没有彻底完结，而是会由Prime Video继续下去，使用全新的主持阵容。
‘It will be carrying on. The Grand Tour continues. We’re stepping away as the hosts, but Prime will be continuing it. So I can’t wait to sit on my own chair and watch somebody else do it. That’s amazing,’ he said.
“The Grand Tour还会继续下去。我们将不再担任主持工作，但亚马逊那边还会继续做这个节目。所以说我已经等不及坐在椅子上看其他人做这档节目了。太酷了简直。”他说道。
While he admitted that he isn’t privy to conversations about who the new presenters will be, he did give his advice on how they can ensure the series remains cherished by fans.
虽然理查德承认他并不知道新的主持人会是谁，但他依然给出了建议，以确保新的剧集能够继续被粉丝们爱着。
‘If you’re making any show that at its heart has a subject, whether it’s cooking, dancing or cars, the hosts, the primary makers of it, have to have that passion in their heart. And we always did,’ Richard outlined.
“如果你制作的节目有一个核心主题，不管是烹饪、舞蹈还是汽车，选择的主持人，这档节目的主要制作人，一定要在内心深处对此含有热情。我们正是这样。”理查德概述到。
‘You never had to be a car geek to watch our show. Plenty of people who weren’t did watch it, but it was important that we were the car geeks.’
“你不需要成为一个车呆子才能看我们的节目。许多不是车迷的人也在看我们的节目。但重要的是，我们就是一群车呆子。”
The TV personality continued, emphasising how much he, Jeremy and Richard ‘love the subject at the heart of the show’ - while it isn’t always necessary for viewers to have the same passion.
这位电视名嘴继续说道，强调他们“爱着这档节目的核心”，而观众并不总是需要有着同样的激情。
‘I watched that show where they make pots, The Great Pottery Throw Down, and I love it. I’ve no interest in pottery. I don’t know anything about it, but they clearly do, and that passion is compelling,’ he added.
“我看了一档做陶器的节目，叫《陶艺来了》，我很喜欢。我对陶艺并不感兴趣。我对陶器一无所知，但他们明白，那种热情是会传染的。”他补充道。
As for whether the new version of The Grand Tour should retain the same format or evolve, Richard gave another diplomatic answer.
而谈及新版的The Grand Tour是应该保持原来的节目形式还是应该有所改变，理查德给出了另一个圆滑的答案。
‘That’s for people who are making it to decide. We’ll always be on hand to talk if they want to talk to us, absolutely. But it’s not for us to shape it anymore. We’re stepping away. We made the show that we made,’ he stated.
“那是由制作节目的人决定的。当然了，如果他们向与我们聊聊，我们随时待命。但我们不再能决定这档节目了。我们已经退出了。我们做的节目是我们的版本。”他说道。
‘It’s a bit like you’ve got your favourite old... whether it’s a pair of shoes or a jacket that once you’ve worn it, it only fits you. That show was what you get if you put us forward together and the brilliant team around us. But there’ll be a different team doing a different show, and they’ll devise the show that fits them.’
“就好像你有你最喜欢的旧衣服——不管是一双鞋还是一件夹克，只要你穿上它，它只适合你一个人。如果你把我们仨和我们身边优秀的制作团队放到一起，做出来的节目就是这样的。但如果让另一个团队来做一档不同的节目，他们会设计出适合他们的节目。”
最后一集能看到什么？
Looking ahead to saying goodbye to The Grand Tour when the trio’s last episode finally airs, Richard admitted that it hasn’t sunk in yet... and likely won’t for ‘six months’.
三贱客的最后一期节目播出之后，我们将于The Grand Tour告别。理查德承认这档节目还没有完全被理解，而且可能在“六个月”里也不会。
‘It’s a very honest and heartfelt goodbye and thank you from us. It really is, and it was built to be that. Andy Wilman, who is possibly the driving force, he’s done a masterful job of putting that together,’ Richard said of the final episode, which will see him, Jeremy, 64, and James, 61, head to Zimbabwe for a picturesque and exhilarating road trip.
“这是我们非常真诚和衷心的告别与感谢。确实是这样，这一集就是为此而生的。安迪·威尔曼，我们的驱动力，把这一切结合得非常好。”理查德讲到The Grand Tour的最后一集，在其中我们将看到54岁的理查德，64岁的杰里米和61岁的詹姆斯前往津巴布韦进行一次风景绝美、令人心潮澎湃的公路旅行。
‘We go out and we all plan it and work on it, and then we go out and we film it. But he’s the one who sits for hundreds of hours in the edit, and I think it’s got just the right tone.’
“我们先出去规划好这期节目，然后再出去拍摄。但他（安迪·威尔曼）才是那个在剪辑室里坐了成百上千个小时的人，我认为它的基调非常正确。”
Teasing what viewers can expect from their last outing, he revealed: ‘Don’t expect big bangs and crashes. It’s actually quite simple. It’s quite a sincere thank you for making it possible for us to have such an incredible time over the last two decades together.
谈到观众们可以在他们的最后一次旅行中看到些什么时，理查德说道：“不要指望着看到什么大爆炸或者撞车的场面。实际上很单纯的。这一集是一份非常真诚的感谢信，感谢你们再过去的二十年里与我们度过了一段美好的时光。”
‘It really felt like a genuine thank you. It’s from the heart, and I hope people appreciate it for that. I think people will feel that it’s quite simple. I think it’s beautiful. It’s been well made. It’s been beautifully edited and magnificently shot. I hope people take it for what it is, which is just us quietly saying, thank you. Thank you for coming with us for the last two decades.’
“真的感觉就是一段非常诚挚的感谢。是发自内心的感谢，我希望人们可以喜欢。我想人们会认为这期很简单。我认为它美极了。制作很精良。剪得很精妙，拍得也很好。我希望人们可以接受这一期的内核，也就是我们悄悄地说一声‘谢谢你们’。感谢你们在过去的二十年里与我们同行。”
哈蒙德回应The Grand Tour与争议
The Grand Tour hasn’t been a show to shy away from controversy in the past - a fact that Richard tackled head-on in our conversation.
曾经，The Grand Tour并不是一档会回避争议的节目。理查德在与我们的交流中也正面回应了这一点。
‘I think the controversy, it’s always been part of what we do. I’ve certainly never borne any malice towards anybody. If I’ve said things or been part of shows that have said things that have been interpreted as malicious, then I don’t think that was ever the intent,’ he told us.
“我认为争议一直是我们节目的一部分。我当然没有对任何人怀有过恶意。如果说我在某档节目上发表过一些被理解为怀有恶意的话，那些言论并不是我的本意。”他说道。
‘That’s not to say it hasn’t caused offence. It’s the last thing I want to do is cause offence. We’ve sometimes got to be close to the line, but maybe sometimes that’s the only way you find out where the line is, when you’re looking over your shoulder at it and realise, “Oops, I’ve gone the wrong side of it. I better step back again.”‘
“这并不是说这些争议并没有引起过冒犯。我最不想做的就是冒犯到别人。我们有时候必须接近这条红线，但有些时候可能冒犯别人是唯一确认这条红线在哪里的方式。当你回顾的时候，你会意识到‘诶呀，我玩儿大了。我还是往后撤一点吧。’”
人生的下一步
So what’s next in store for Richard, as he prepares to conclude a huge chapter in his life?
所以，当哈蒙德准备结束他人生中的重要一节时，他接下来准备做些什么呢？
Firstly, he hopes that people ‘continue to follow the show as it evolves into a new version’, even if he’s not going to be a part of the next adventure.
首先，他希望人们可以“继续关注The Grand Tour节目，因为他会发展成一个全新的版本”，虽然他将不会是下一次冒险的一份子。
Nonetheless, loving cars is so ingrained in him that even without The Grand Tour, he’s - of course - still going to be hitting the road, tools in tow.
无论如何，他对汽车的热爱是如此深厚，以至于哪怕没有The Grand Tour，他也会带着工具，继续上路。
‘Just this afternoon in the car, [I was] planning a little journey for next year I’d quite like to do. I won’t be doing it for TV, but that might be quite nice, actually,’ he shared.
他分享到：“就在今天下午，我在车里计划了一次我挺想做的明年的小旅行。我不会做一档节目，但那好像也不错。”
‘I enjoyed it, going to France last week and driving back in a tiny little car that won’t do more than 50 miles an hour. It broke down, and I had to carry out quite a big fix in the car park of the services, three hours in the sun with the spanners and the jack. It was great. I loved it. It’s what we do.’
“我很享受这一切，上周去法国，开着一辆时速不超过50迈的小车回来的。车抛锚了，我不得不在服务区停车场里进行一场酣畅淋漓的修车，在阳光之下与扳手和千斤顶共同度过了三个小时。太棒了。我很喜欢。这就是我们所做的。”
The Grand Tour: One for the Road will be available to stream on September 13 on Prime Video.
The Grand Tour终曲特辑将于9月13日于Prime Video上线。
