The new Doctor's identity was revealed in a trailer broadcast at the end of the Wimbledon men's singles final.
温网男单决赛结束后播出的一则预告片揭晓了新任博士的身份。

The Broadchurch star succeeds Peter Capaldi, who took over the role in 2013 and leaves in the forthcoming Christmas special.
彼得•卡帕尔蒂的角色由《小镇疑云》中的女演员惠特克接替。卡帕尔蒂于2013年出演博士，并在即将播出的圣诞特辑中退场。

Whittaker, 35, said it was "overwhelming, as a feminist" to become the next Doctor.
35岁的惠特克称，“作为一名女权主义者”，她“无法抗拒”成为下一任博士。

She will make her debut on the sci-fi show when the Doctor regenerates in the Christmas special.
惠特克将在圣诞节特辑博士重生时首次亮相。

The Huddersfield-born star will find a familiar face for her on set - Doctor Who's new showrunner is Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall.
惠特克在剧中会遇到一个熟人——《小镇疑云》的编剧克里斯•奇布诺尔，也是《神秘博士》的新制作人。

Whittaker said: "I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey - with Chris and with every Whovian on this planet.
惠特克称：“能够和克里斯以及全世界的剧迷们一起开启这段前所未有的旅程，让我感到无比激动。”

"It's more than an honor to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can't wait."
“扮演博士不仅仅是一种荣誉，还意味着我要在记住过去的每个‘自己’的同时，还要去拥抱博士身上所代表的希望。我已经迫不及待了。”

Dedicated Whovians were quick to react to the news of Jodie Whittaker taking over the Tardis.
《神秘博士》的忠实剧迷们很快对朱迪•惠特克掌管时间机器的消息做出了反应。

On social media, some said it would encourage them to watch the show for the first time - but others said the casting meant they would be switching off, and that the Doctor should be played by a man.
社交媒体上，有人称这个消息让他们成为新剧迷，但是另一些人则认为，惠特克参演意味着他们将弃剧，博士应该由男性来扮演。

Carla Joanna tweeted to say that she would be tuning in and that the trailer "made me choke up a little". Another tweeter, Ayad, said: "I don't even watch Doctor Who but a woman doctor is so cool."
卡拉•乔安娜在推特上说，她会收看节目，而预告片让她“有点哽咽”。另一位推特用户阿亚德称：“我根本不看《神秘博士》，但是一位女博士太酷了。”

But Samantha Melton said: "I am a woman and a feminist but I don't want a female Doctor. To me it's trying too hard to tick the boxes."
不过萨曼莎•梅尔顿说：“我是一名女性，也是女权主义者，但是我不希望看到女博士，对我而言这太难接受了。”

Doctor Who writer Jenny Colgan, who has written for the series' books and audio dramas, said: "I am of course incredibly excited the new Doctor is a woman; Steven Moffat has been paving the way for this for ages and it is absolutely about time. I can't imagine what it's like for Jodie: she must be so scared and excited all at once, but I couldn't be happier, and 100% can't wait to write for her."
《神秘博士》的编剧珍妮•科尔根为该剧的图书和广播剧创作剧本。她表示：“新任博士是一名女性让我格外激动。史蒂文•莫法特已经为此铺垫很久了，现在时机绝对成熟了。我无法想象惠特克现在是什么心情：她一定既害怕又兴奋，但我简直太开心了，完全迫不及待想为她创作。”

Will Howells, who writes for the Doctor Who magazine and has been a fan for 25 years, said: "In 2017, there shouldn't be anything major about a TV series changing from a male lead to a female one.
威尔•豪威尔斯是《神秘博士》杂志的撰稿人，也是该剧25年的粉丝，他说：“在2017年，一部电视连续剧的男主角被换成女主角不应该有什么大问题。”
