随着这部屡获殊荣的剧集回归，它凸显了北爱尔兰警方与当地社区之间的紧张关系。作者：艾恩·奥唐奈“无论是朋友还是家人，每个人与警方的关系以及对警方的看法都各不相同。”BBC剧集《蓝灯》的主演迪尔巴莱·麦金尼说道。
As the award winning series returns, it highlights tensions between police and communities in Northern Ireland. By Áine O Donnell "Whether it's your friends or your family, everybody has their own relationships with, and viewpoints on, the police," says Dearbháile McKinney, star of BBC drama Blue Lights.
这位来自伦敦德里的女演员与她的搭档凯瑟琳·德夫林都表示，在准备拍摄时，北爱尔兰警方与当地社区之间的关系始终是他们心中最关注的问题。德夫林同样在北爱尔兰长大。
The Londonderry actress and her co-star Katherine Devlin, who also grew up in Northern Ireland, say relationships between police and communities there were at the forefront of their minds as they prepared for filming.
这部获得英国电影和电视艺术学院奖（BAFTA）的剧集，讲述了在贝尔法斯特虚构的“黑刺站”工作的警察们的故事。但对于许多观众而言，这部戏剧显得无比真实。
The Bafta-winning series follows police officers working at the fictional Blackthorn Station in Belfast. But, for many watching, the drama feels all too real.
北爱尔兰警方至今仍面临的困境，在本周末因长期存在的争议性加瓦基路游行路线问题而再次成为焦点。当时，警方不得不阻止新教橙衣人游行队伍穿过一个以天主教徒为主的地区。
The difficulty police in Northern Ireland still face was thrown into focus this weekend by the long-running dispute over the controversial Garvaghy Road parade route when officers had to prevent a march by Protestant Orangemen through a largely Catholic area.
《蓝灯》中的许多场景都凸显了某些社区对警方的不信任甚至敌意。
Many scenes in Blue Lights highlight the distrust of, and hostility towards, the police in some communities.
德夫林饰演安妮·康隆，她的剧情线涉及她因出身天主教家庭而收到死亡威胁，不得不离开家乡。
Devlin plays Annie Conlon, whose storyline deals with her having to move away from home as a result of death threats because she's from a Catholic family.
“我们确实有相似之处——她来自天主教背景，我也是，”德夫林告诉BBC Newsbeat。“我认识像安妮这样的女孩。”
"We do have similarities - she comes from a Catholic background and so do I," Devlin tells BBC Newsbeat. "I know girls like Annie.
“但我意识到，我们在很多方面是不同的。说实话，我可能不会去当警察。”德夫林表示，塑造安妮这个角色，关键在于理解她为何决定成为一名警察，并让这一点成为她故事的核心。
"But I've realised we're different in a lot of ways. Mainly, to be honest with you, I wouldn't go into the police." Devlin says that forming Annie's character was about trying to understand why she decided to become an officer and "for that to be the crux of her story".
“我认为，这一季的一个重大主题是‘家’的概念，以及‘家’对她意味着什么，”她说。
"I think a huge thing with this season is the idea of home and what home means to her," she says.
“她内心一直在进行这样的对话：‘这一切值得吗？’尤其是她身为天主教徒，这其中的复杂性和政治因素。”
"Just battling that inner dialogue that she has with 'is it all worth it?' "Especially her being a Catholic and the intricacies of that and the politics of that.
“这确实是个严肃的问题，她需要认真考虑。”今年，北爱尔兰警察局（PSNI）收到的天主教背景申请者的数量创下了十多年来的新低；一些人认为，这些社区中的“恐惧与不安”是导致人们不愿加入警察队伍的原因。
"It's heavy stuff and she has to really think about it." The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) had its lowest number of Catholic applicants in more than a decade earlier this year, with some pointing to "fear and apprehension" in those communities putting them off joining the police.
北爱尔兰警察局成立于2001年，其成立时的目标之一就是争取更广泛的社会支持，并增加天主教背景的警察人数。当时，该机构中仅有8%的警察来自天主教家庭；如今这一比例已上升至32%。
One of the force's when it was founded in 2001 was to build broader community support and increase Catholic officers. At the time, only 8% of the force was from that background. It's now at 32%.
在发给Newsbeat的一份声明中，警长乔恩·布彻表示：“北爱尔兰警察局完全致力于更好地代表我们所服务的社区。”
In a statement sent to Newsbeat, Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said the PSNI was "totally committed to being more representative of the communities we serve".
“我对那些持续存在且往往毫无根据的批评感到非常担忧；那些过时且毫无根据的观点仍在阻碍人们选择从事警察职业，”他说。
"I am deeply concerned at persistent and often unjustified criticism and the outdated and unsupported views of dissident paramilitaries remaining as barriers to people seeing themselves having a career in the police," he said.
布彻承认，北爱尔兰警察局确实需要采取更多措施来多元化招聘对象，但这只有在“北爱尔兰所有社区的民众都将警察职业视为适合自己的职业选择时”才能实现。他表示，该机构计划在未来几周内启动新一轮的警员招募活动。
Boutcher said he "absolutely" accepted the PSNI needed to do more to diversify its recruitment but could only do so if "people in all communities in Northern Ireland see policing as a career for them." He said the force planned to launch a new student officer recruitment campaign "in the coming weeks".
《Blue Lights》这部剧是在贝尔法斯特东部拍摄的；在片场中，你可以看到制作团队对细节的极致关注——从警察局接待区的宣传资料到警察办公桌上的案件文件夹，无一不体现这种专业精神。
Blue Lights is filmed locally and on set in east Belfast you can spot the attention to detail, right down to the information leaflets at a police station reception area and case folders on officers' desks.
“看到这么多观众能够将自己代入剧中的角色，真的非常令人欣慰，”德夫林说道，“这些角色如此复杂、真实且充满人性。”
"It's really lovely just to see the amount of people who see themselves in the characters," Devlin says. "And [mention] how cofmplex the characters are.
麦金尼在饰演艾斯林·伯恩（Aisling Byrne）时也充分考虑了这一点。在上一季中，艾斯林饱受创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的困扰；迪尔巴伊尔（Dearbháile）表示，她在拍摄过程中与现实中的警察们进行了交流。
How real and human they are". It's something McKinney considered in how she plays Aisling Byrne. Aisling struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the last series, something Dearbháile says she spoke to real-life officers about.
“他们目睹了许多可怕的事情，因此患上了PTSD并承受着心理创伤，他们必须学会与之共处，”她说。
"They've had to witness some horrific things and been left with PTSD and trauma that they just have to learn to live with," she says.
“这就是这里的现实。不去思考这一点才是无知。”艾什琳的病情给她与汤米·福斯特的关系带来了压力，汤米由内森·布拉尼夫饰演。随后，他面临着一个抉择：是否要向他们的上司报告她的情况，以便她能获得帮助。
"It's the reality here. It would be ignorant to not think about that." Aisling's condition puts a strain on her relationship with Tommy Foster, played by Nathan Braniff, who is then faced with the decision whether to report her to their bosses so she can get help.
布拉尼夫表示，虽然《蓝灯》经常探讨沉重的主题，但他认为该剧很好地展现了北爱尔兰的真实面貌。
And while Braniff says Blue Lights often deals with heavy themes, he believes it does a good job at showing what Northern Ireland is really like.
“它展示了北爱尔兰正在不断前进和变化。”对于第四季而言，一个变化是，当演员们在贝尔法斯特市中心拍摄场景时，公众的关注度有所提升。
"It shows that Northern Ireland's moving forward and changing all the time." One thing that's changed for the fourth series is the public interest when the actors are filming scenes in Belfast city centre.
布拉尼夫说：“我在这座城市生活了一辈子，穿着全套警服走在贝尔法斯特的街头，却撞见认识的人，这感觉挺有趣的。”
"After having lived here my whole life, it's funny walking down the streets of Belfast and bumping into people that I know wearing my full police costume," Braniff says.
“这部剧在这里受到的支持是无与伦比的。”饰演肖恩·布拉德利的弗兰克·布莱克是少数几位并非来自北爱尔兰的演员之一，但他说自己同样感受到了欢迎，这主要归功于一个场景：他的角色敞开心扉，谈到了他对某首西城男孩（Westlife）歌曲的喜爱。
"The support for the show here is unmatched." Frank Blake, who plays Shane Bradley, is one of the few actors who isn't from Northern Ireland but he says he felt the same welcome, thanks mainly to a scene where his character opens up about his love of a certain Westlife song.
他告诉Newsbeat：“我们当时在城里拍摄，一辆车开过去，喇叭里大声放着《World of Our Own》。”
"We were shooting in town, and someone drove past blaring World of Our Own out of the speakers," he tells Newsbeat.
“我一直是西城男孩的粉丝，当时真是乐子不少。看到这首歌真的火起来，真是太有趣了。”《蓝灯》第四季将于英国夏令时21:00在BBC One首播，并可在iPlayer上观看。
"I've long been a Westlife fan and it was great craic. It's so funny seeing how it really took off." Series four of Blue Lights starts on BBC One at 21:00 BST on BBC One and is available to watch on iPlayer.
