Time may be growing short for Team Machine, but the cast and creators of Person of Interest are ready to make the most of the time they have left. CBS only renewed the series for a 13-episode fifth season, and it will likely be the last. Stars Jim Caviezel (Reese), Michael Emerson (Finch), Kevin Chapman (Fusco), and Amy Acker (Root) and executive producers Jonathan Nolan, Greg Plageman, and Denise Thé spoke with reporters about what fans can expect.

　　给予保卫M宝宝小分队的时间越来越少啦，但《疑犯追踪》的演员与创作人表示他们已经做好了充分利用留给他们的时间的准备。CBS只为该剧集第五季续订了13集，而且也极有可能是该剧的剩余部分。演员詹姆斯·卡维泽(四叔里瑟)，迈克尔·艾默生(宅总芬奇)，凯文·查普曼(豆豆弗斯科)以及艾米·阿克(根妹root)和执行制片人乔纳森·诺兰，格雷格·普拉格曼还有丹尼斯·缇与记者谈到粉丝们可以期待什么。

　　Things Are Going to Happen Fast

　　故事进展将会加快

　　A final decision hasn’t been made as to whether or not this is the final season, but everybody’s preparing for a possible end regardless, says Plageman.

　　该季是否为最终季目前还尚未确定，但大家都在为随时可能的结束做准备。普拉格曼说。

　　“We have a lot of story we want to tell. There’s not going to be a lot of filler this year! It’s pretty much going to be a straight shot through. There are some things we wanted to tell a little bit later on that we’re going to have to pull up, but I think it’s going to be all for the better. We’re going to tell a really heightened, exciting narrative this season.”

　　我们还有好多内容想写。今年不会填很多的坑!他更像是直接贯穿的内容。我们不得不将一些想要在后面提及的内容提前，但我认为这样也很好。这一季我们将会展现一个高质量，激动人心的故事。

　　There Are a Lot of Imitators

　　越来越多的效仿者

　　There are a number of shows that have taken up POI’s fasicnation with technology and the surveillance state. But, says Caviezel, they’re missing the thing that makes this show unique: the human element.

　　一些剧集已经开始借用《疑犯追踪》在技术与监控方面的魅力。但卡维泽说，他们却忽略了让这部剧集与众不同的一点:那就是人。

　　“The difference between Samaritan and our Machine: The fascist machine Samaritan sees us as a means to an end. These people are being used to keep us alive; that’s it. The Machine doesn’t see us as a commodity: The queen is as important as the plumber. There’s more invested in the show than just people flat-out contending with technology.”

　　撒玛利亚和我们TM之间的区别：法西斯般的机器小撒将我们视为达到目的的一种手段。这些人就是被用来保障我们生存的，就是这样。而TM宝宝不把我们当做货物对待，每个人都是同样的重要。在这部剧里，展现的不仅仅是人类与技术的全面竞争，它还有更多的内涵。

　　Drawing the Line

　　划清界限标明立场

　　The devastating scene from last season’s finale, where the Machine speaks directly to Mr. Finch, has rattled beliefs we have seen him hold since the show began, says Emerson.

　　从上季最后毁灭性的场景中，TM宝宝与宅总的直接对话，使我们看到了从该剧开播以来它持有的信念，爱默生说。

　　“I think Finch — despite himself — is drifting toward giving the Machine a kind of personhood or sentience. As much as he’s always trying to draw the line between tools and humans, the line is kind of blurry now. Blurrier than I think he thought, until that moment came upon him. So he has that to puzzle on as we move forward.”

　　我认为芬奇——尽管他自己(忙于此事)——正潜移默化地给机器一种人格或感知。他总是尽可能多的试图划清工具和人类之间的界限，现在这一界限开始模糊。模糊的超过我们所想，直到那一刻出现在他身上。所以他要在我们遇到的问题上继续分析。

　　He won’t be making that decision alone, Nolan adds.

　　他不会独自作出决定，诺兰补充道。

　　“Here’s a fresh challenge for Finch and Root in particular: to figure out how to build the Machine. If you could make God over again, would you make it a wrathful God? How much Old Testament or New Testament would you dial into it? They get an opportunity to argue that out a little bit at the beginning of the season as they try to put this thing back together again.”

　　尤其对芬奇和root来说，现在面临着一个新的挑战：就是去想办法如何重建TM。如果你可以再次创作上帝，你会创造一个愤怒的上帝吗?你会让它记住多少以前的回忆呢?在新一季的开始，在他们试图还原它时，会为此去争论一番。
