看10部美劇 認識每一個不同的媽媽
《實習醫生格蕾》嚴苛要求的媽

在患有老年癡呆五年后，母親忽然暫時清醒了，開始關心自己女兒的近況

Ellis Grey: So tell me about yourself.
說說你自己的情況。
Meredith Grey: Well...
嗯...
Ellis Grey: What's your life like? I really do want to know you, Meredith.
你過得怎么樣？我真的想了解你，Meredith。
Meredith Grey: Well, I have a boyfriend.
我有個男朋友。
Ellis Grey: Does he understand the demands of your career, because not all men do, they say they do upfront, but they...
他理解你的職業嗎？不是所有男人都能理解，嘴上說能理解，但是...

Meredith Grey: He's great, he's doctor, too. So he gets it.
他很棒，也是醫生，所以他了解。
Ellis Grey: Good.
不錯
Meredith Grey: He's actually...
他實際上...
Ellis Grey: Have you chosen a speciality?
你已經選擇專業方向了嗎？
Meredith Grey: No, it's still early.
沒，還早。
Ellis Grey: Cristina's already chosen cardiothoracics.
Cristina已經選擇了心胸外科。
Meredith Grey: Yeah, well, I guess I'm just waiting to be inspired, I'm happy now, you know, I feel like I know who I am. Plus, I think when you have someone in your life that you love, you really love, I think that's... I don't know, I just...I'm really happy.
我想...我正等著受啟發。我現在很幸福，我現在很了解自己。另外，當擁有生命中的摯愛時，我不知道，我只是...我真的很幸福。
Ellis Grey: What happened to you?
你怎么了？
Meredith Grey: What do you mean?
什么？
Ellis Grey: You are happy? You are happy now? The Meredith I knew was a force of nature, passionate, focused, a fighter. What happened to you? You've gone soft, stammerring about boyfriend and saying you're waiting to be inspired. You're waiting inspiration, are you kidding me? I have a disease from which there is no cure, I think that would be inspiration enough!
你很幸福？你這樣就幸福了？我認識的Meredith有動力有激情，注意力集中，斗志昂揚。 你怎么了？你變得軟弱了。結結巴巴的說著你的男朋友，還說你正等著受啟發？你在等啟發？開什么玩笑？！我得了不治之癥，我覺得這足夠啟發你了吧！
Meredith Grey: Mom...
媽...
Ellis Grey: Listen to me, Meredith, anyone can fall in love and be blindly happy, but not everyone can pick up a scalpel and save a life. I raised you to be an extraordinary human being, so imagine my disappointment when I wake up afeter 5 years and discover that you're no more than ordinary! What happened to you!
聽我說，Meredith，任何人都能墜入愛河，盲目地幸福，但不是每個人都能拿起手術刀拯救生命。我把你培養成為不同尋常的人。可五年后我清醒過來發現你不過是個庸人，想想我有多失望！你到底怎么回事！

女兒命垂一線，這時母親出現把她送了回去，從此陰陽兩隔
Ellis Grey: You shouldn't be here.
你不該呆在這兒。
Meredith Grey: Neither should you.
你也是。
Ellis Grey: Just keep going. Don't be a damn...you are...you are anything but ordinary, Meredith. Now run. Run!
繼續前進吧，別做懦夫。你...你毫不平凡 Meredith。現在快走，走！
