HBO官方正式宣佈《權利的遊戲》將於第八季完結
Game of Thrones - the record-breaking fantasy drama TV series - will end after its eighth season, American broadcaster HBO has confirmed.
美國HBO電視臺近日證實，打破收視記錄的魔幻電視劇《權力的遊戲》將在第八季結束之後正式完結。HBO programming chief Casey Bloys made the announcement at the Television Critics Association's conference.
HBO節目主管凱西·阿洛伊斯是在電視評論家協會會議上宣佈的這一消息。The seventh season - made up of seven episodes instead of the usual 10 - is expected in summer next year, while the final season will be in 2018.
《權力的遊戲》第七季只有7集，而不是通常的10集，預計將於明年夏季播出，而第八季則要等到2018年。
Now the programme has overtaken the source material, meaning producers are telling a story no-one has read before.
現在這部劇已經超越了原著小說的內容，這也就是說製片人正在講述一個以前從來沒有人讀過的故事。Speaking in Beverly Hills, California, Mr Bloys said the number of episodes for the final season was yet to be determined. "We'll take as many as the producers will give us," he said.
在加州貝弗利山莊發表講話時，阿洛伊斯表示，他們目前還沒有確定《權力的遊戲》第八季究竟要拍多少集。他說道：“我們將盡可能多地拍攝製片人給我們的內容。”Mr Bloys did not rule out a spin-off, saying that "we're open to it, (the producers) aren't opposed to it, but there's no concrete plans right now".
阿洛伊斯沒有排除可能會拍衍生片的可能，他說道：“我們可以接受，製片人們也不反對，但是目前還沒有具體的規劃。”Last year, Game of Thrones won a record 12 Emmy Awards for a series in a single year. The series has picked up 23 nominations - another record - ahead of this year's annual ceremony to be held in September.
去年，《權力的遊戲》在一年的時間裏，創紀錄地獲得了12項艾美獎。在今年9月的年度頒獎典禮舉行前，《權力的遊戲》已經獲得了23項提名，這又是一項紀錄。
