*粉丝对英剧《神探夏洛克》着迷不已，现在我们发现，*粉丝还给两位主角起了昵称以表达自己的衷爱。
It is no secret that BBC drama Sherlock and its star Benedict Cumberbatch are enormously popular in the world’s most populous country.
众所周知，本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇主演的英剧《神探夏洛克》在*这个人口*多的国家享有极高的人气。
But what is perhaps less well known is the nicknames Chinese fans have given the two stars of the hit drama: Curly Fu and Peanut.
但不少人并不知道，*粉丝给这部热门英剧的两位主角起了昵称：卷福和花生。
Cumberbatch''s Sherlock is known as Curly Fu – Curly because of the coils of locks he sports for the role and Fu which is a shortening of Holmes in Chinese.
康伯巴奇饰演的夏洛克被称为“卷福”——“卷”字取自他在角色中一绺绺的卷发造型，“福”字是Holmes（“福尔摩斯”）中译名的缩写。
Freeman, who plays John Watson, is called Peanut for the rather more mundane reason that the actor''s name in its Chinese form – Hua Sheng – sounds a lot like the Mandarin for the nut.
饰演约翰·华生的弗里曼被称为花生。这个名字的来由更容易理解——这一角色姓名的中译名，“华生”听起来与“花生”相近。
The country''s fixation on Sherlock was thrown into sharp focus during David Cameron’s official visit last week.
上周英国首相戴维·卡梅伦访华期间，对这部英剧着迷的*粉丝也把这部剧作为了与英国首相对话的焦点。
However, the bad news is that Chinese fans will have to wait longer than the 1 January UK air date for Sherlock series three to reach them.
然而，*粉丝可能要听到坏消息了——《神探夏洛克》第三季在明年1月1日在英国首播，*粉丝可能要等到1月1日之后了。
