episode1 With You I'm Born Again.
op:
Every cell in human body regenerates,on average,7 years.Like snakes,in our own way,we shed our skin.Biologically,we're brand-new people.We may look the same.We probably do.The change isn't visible,at least not most of us.But we're all changed,completely,forever.But it's normal,I mean,it's a biological imperative(应激性的) change.
ed:
When we say things like'people don't change',it drives scientists crazy.Because change is literally the only constant in all science.Energy,matter,is always changing,morphing,merging,growing,dying...It's the way people trying not to change that's natural, the way we cling to what things were instead of letting them be what they are, the way we cling to our memories instead of forming new ones, the way we insist on believing despite every scientific indication that everything in this lifetime is permenent.
Change is constant.How we experience change that's up to us. It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance of life.If we open our fingers,loosen our grips,go with it,it can feel like pure adrenaline.Like at any moment,we can have another chance at life.Like at any moment,we can be born all over again.
episode2 Shock to the System.
op:
They say lightening never strikes twice,but that's a myth. It doesn't happen often. Lightening usually gets it right the first time. When you're hit with 30,000 amps(安培) of electricity,you feel it. It can make you forget who you are. It can burn you,blind you,stop your heart, and cause massive internal injuries. But for something that happens in only a millisecond,it can change your life forever.
ed:
Lightening doesn't often strike twice. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Even if it feels like the shock is coming over and over again. Eventually,the pain will go away,the shock will wear off, and you start to heal yourself, to recover from something you never saw coming. If you're in just the right place, at just the right time, you can take a hell of hit, and still have a shot at surviving.
episode3 Super Freak.
op:
Most of surgeons grew up being freaks. When other kids play outside,we holed up in our rooms, memorizing the periodic table(元素周期表),huddling for hours over our junior microscope, dissecting our first frogs. Imagine how surprised and relievied we were,when we grew up and found out there were others out there,just as freaky as we were. Same microscope,same dead frogs,same inexplicable(莫名的) urge to take human beings apart.
April:
Stop,okay?I'm a virgin,yes.So what? It's not something i talk about,okay? We all have things we don't talk about.
Alex,you're been afraid of the elevator for,like,a month,but i never said anything because it's none of my business. And Jackson,you wake up every night screaming, because you have nightmares. And,Meredith,you don't talk about Christina because you're afraid she's never gonna be the same Christina again. And,Lexie...for god's sake,Mark never thought you're a psycho.He loves you! That's why he stares at you,because he can't keep his eyes off the woman he loves. Of course,he's never saying anything,'cause he doesn't feel like he can. Look,we all have stuff we don't talk about.
I am a 28-year-old virgin,mainly because I wanted my first time to be special. And then,I waited too long,and partially because I'm pretty sure guys find me annoying.I'm a virgin.That does't make it drinks conversation.We all have stuff we don't talk about!
//我好喜欢看April和Lexie freak out...
ed:
Nobody chooses to be a freak. Most people don't even realize they're a freak until it's way too late to change it. But no matter how much of a freak you end up being,chances are, there's still someone out there for you. Unless,of course,they've already moved on... Because when it comes to love,even freaks can't wait forever.
episode4 Can't Fight Biology.
op:
Biology determines much of the way we live. From the moment we were born,we know how to breathe and eat. As we grow older,new instincts kick in. We become territorial. We learn to compete. We seek shelter. Most important of all,we reproduce(繁衍后代). Sometimes biology can turn on us,though. Yeah,biology sucks sometimes.
Lexie:
No,you know what? I've been a total bitch to April all day because of you. You know that? You worry about April,you let her have Izzie's room,you talk to her about your doctor's appointments, and I went crazy. Alex ditched me in a psych ward,Mark slept with Derek's sister, and now I find myself relating to the crazy,jealous lady who drives into laudromats!
Meredith:
Lexie,I had a miscarriage that day. April was there. That's why she knows about my doctor's appointment. And I did know that Mark slept with Amy,but I didn't think you cared. I can never tell what the hell is going on with you two. And as far as the psych ward goes,you were not alone. I sat by your bedside for 36 hours while you slept. You're not crazy,Lexie. You're a Grey. :)
ed:
Our D.N.A doesn't account for all of us,though.(基因并不能解释我们的一切.) We're human. Life changes us. We develop new traits,become less territorial. We stop competing. We learn from out mistakes. We face our greatest fears. For better or worse,we find ways to become more than our biology. The risk,of course,is that we can change too much to the point we don't recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There's no compass,no map. We just have to close our eyes,take a step,and hope to God we'll get there.
episode5 Almost Grown.
op:
They train doctors slowly. They watch us practice on frogs and pigs and dead people and then live people. They drill us relentlessly, they raise us like children and eventually they take a cold, hard boot and they kick us out of the nest.
ed:
We're so busy trying to get out of that nest that we don't think about the fact that it's going to be cold out there...really freaking cold. Because growing up sometimes means leaving people behind. And by the time we stand on our own two feet, we are standing there alone.
episode6 These Arms of Mine.
op:
Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, home to some of the finest, most influential doctors in the country. Several months ago a gunman roamed these halls, leaving eleven people dead and even more injured. Today we visit the survivors, their patients, their triumphs, and their disappointments. This is Seattle Grace Mercy West, road to recovery.
ed:
None.
episode7 That's Me Trying.
op:
When was the last time a complete stranger took offer clothes in front of you, pointed to a big purple splotch on her back, and asked, "What the hell is this thing?" If you're a normal person, the answer is, hopefully never. If you're a doctor, the answer is, probably, about 5 minutes ago. People expect doctors to have all of the answers. The truth is, we love to think that we have all of the answers. Basically, doctors are know-it-alls until, something comes along to remind us that we're not.
ed:
We're all looking for answers...in medicine...in life...in everything. Sometimes the answers we're looking for are hiding just below the surface. Other times we find answers when we didn't even realize we were asking a question. Sometimes the answers can catch us completely by surprise. And sometimes, even when we find the answer we've been looking for, we're still left with a whole hell of a lot of questions.
episode8 Something's Gotta Give.
op:
The human body is a highly pressurized system. The blood pressure measures the force of blood pulsating through the body. It's important to keep this pressure regulated. Low or inadequate pressure an cause weakness or failure. It's when the pressure gets too high that problems really occur. If the pressure continues to increase, a closer examination is called for because it's the best indicator that something is going terribly wrong.
Bailey:Eat when you can,sleep when you can,and don't screw with the pancreas(胰腺).
ed:
Every pressurized system needs a relief valve. There has to be a way to reduce the stress, the tension, before it becomes too much to bare. There has to be a way to find relief because if the pressure doesn't find a way out, it will make one. It will explode. It's the pressure we put on ourselves that's the hardest to bare. The pressure to be better then we already are. The pressure to be better than we think we can be. It never ever lets up. It just builds and builds and builds.
episode9 Slow Night, So Long.
op:
We doctors take pride in the fact that we can basically sleep standing up, anytime, anywhere. But, it's a false pride because the truth is after twenty hours without sleep you might as well just come to work drunk, doctor or not. So it's no wonder that fatal medical errors increase at night when we doctors are proudly sleeping on our feet. Recently our communal pride has been shattered and our egos have been wounded by new laws that require we sleep all day before we work all night. We are not happy about it. But, as someone who might need medical care, you really should be.
Teddy:You're married.You don't get to have an opinion about my pathetic forays into Internet dating.
ed:
Under the cover of darkness, people do things they never do under the harsh glare of day. Decisions feel wiser. People feel older. But, when the sun rises, you have to take responsibility for what you did in the dark. And face yourself under the cold harsh light of day.
episode10 Adrift and at Peace .
op:
Meredith: The goal of any surgery is total recovery - to come out better than you were before. Some patients heal quickly and feel immediate relief. For others the healing happens gradually, and it's not until months or even years later that you realize you don't hurt anymore. So the challenge after any surgery is to be patient. But if you can make it through the first weeks and months, if you believe that healing is possible, then you can get your life back. But that's a big if.
ed:
The first 24 hours after surgery are critical. Every breath you take, every fluid you make, is meticulously reported and analyzed. Celebrated or mourned. But what about the next 24 hours? What happens with that first day turns to two and weeks turn into months? What happens when the immediate danger has passed, when the machines are disconnected and the teams of doctors and nurses are gone? Surgery is when you get saved, but post-op, after surgery, is when you heal. But, what if you don't?
episode11 Disarm.
op:
To a degree, medicine is a science...but I would argue that it's also an art. The doctors who see medicine as a science only, you don't want them by your side when you're bleeding won't stop or when your child is screaming in pain. The clinicians go by the book. The artists follow their guts. The artists feel your pain and they go to extremes to make it stop. Extreme measures. That's where science ends and art begins.
ed:
Surgery is extreme. We cut into your body, take out pieces, and put what's left back together. Good thing life doesn't come with a scalpel because if it did, when things started to hurt, we would just cut and cut and cut. The thing is what we take away with a scalpel we can't ever get back. So, like a said, good thing.
episode12 Start Me Up.
op:
People are really romantic about the beginnings of things. Fresh start. Clean slate. A world of possibility. But no matter what adventure you're embarking on, you're still you. You bring you into every new beginning in your life, so how different can it possibly be.
Callie: My lack of interest in seeing you is not a strategy. I'm not playing hard to get. I don't want to see you because I turned my life upside down for you and you walked away because for a week I was cranky. You're untrustworthy, so I don't want to see you. You're self-centered, so I don't want to see you. I am a hundred percent certain that if I let you back in my life again you will hurt me again, so I don't want to see you. This isn't a ploy. I'm not pouting. I don't want you in my life. Get your crap out of my apartment.
ed:
It's all anybody wants, right? Clean slate. A new beginning. Like that's gonna be any easier. Ask the guy pushing the boulder up the hill. Nothing's easy about starting over. Nothing at all.
episode13 Don't Deceive Me(Please Don't Go).
op:
Doctors practice deception all the time. We give vague answers to hard questions. We don't talk about post-op pain. We say you'll experience some discomfort. If you didn't die, we tell you the surgery went well, but the placebo has to be the doctor's greatest deception. Half of our patients we tell the other truth ... the other half, we pray the placebo effect's real. And we tell ourselves that they'll feel better anyhow, believing help's on the way, when, in fact, we're leaving them to die.
ed:
Doctors practice deception every day — on our patients, on their families. But the worst deception we practice is on ourselves. Which is why sometimes it takes us a while to realize that the truth has been in front of us the whole time.
episode14 P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing).
op:
One of the hardest lessons as a doctor is learning to prioritize(分清主次). We're trained to do all we can to save life and limb, but, if cutting off a limb, means saving a life, we learn to do it without hesitation. It's not an easy lesson to learn, and it always comes down to one question, "what are the stakes?" What do we stand to gain or lose? At the end of the day, we're just gamblers trying not to bet the farm.
ed:
Surgery is a high stakes game. But no matter how high the stakes, sooner or later, you're just going to have to go with your gut, and, maybe just maybe, that'll take you right where you were meant to be in the first place.
episode15 Golden Hour.
op:
How much can you actually accomplish in an hour? Run an errand maybe, sit in traffic, get an oil change. When you think about it an hour isn't very long. Sixty minutes. Thirty-six hundred seconds. That's it. In medicine, though, an hour is often everything. We call it the golden hour. That magical window of time that can determine whether a patient lives or dies.
ed:
An hour, one hour, can change everything forever. An hour can save your life. An hour can change your mind. Sometimes an hour is a gift we give ourselves. For some, an hour can mean almost nothing. For others, an hour makes all the difference in the world. But in the end, it's still just an hour, one of many,many more to come. Sixty minutes. Thirty-six hundred seconds. That's it. Then it starts all over again. And who knows what the next hour might hold.
episode16 Not Responsible.
op:
Everyone figures doctors are the most responsible people they know. They hold lives in their hands. They're not flakes. They don't lose track of important details or make stunningly bad judgment calls. 'Cause that would be bad, right?
ed:
We are responsible with our patients. The problem is we blow it all out at work. In our own lives, we can't think things through. We don't make the sound choice. We did that all day at the hospital. When it comes to ourselves, we've got nothing left. And is it worth it—being responsible? Because if take your vitamins and pay your taxes and never cut the line, the universe still gives you people to love and then lets them slip through your fingers like water, and what've you got? Vitamins and nothing.
episode17 This Is How We Do It.
op:
Renegades, rule-breakers, gangsters with scalpels. This is the way we like to think of ourselves. It makes us feel badass, sexy. Problem is it's not exactly true. At heart, we're rule followers, sheep. We don't break protocol. We follow it to a "T." Because if we don't follow protocol, our patients die, and then we're no longer badass. We're just bad.
ed:
It's every doctor's dilemma. Do you play it safe and follow protocol? Or take a risk and invent a new one? There can be reward in risk. There can also be fallout. Still you need to book the system every once in a while. Bet big. And when you get the results you want, there's no better feeling in the world, but when you don't...
episode18 Song Beneath The Song.
op:
The brain is the human body's most mysterious organ. It learns. It changes. It adapts. It tells us what we see, what we hear. It lets us feel love. I think it holds our soul. And no matter how much research we do, no one can really say how all that delicate grey matter inside our skull works. And, when it's hurt, when the human brain is traumatized, well, that's when it gets even more mysterious.
episode19 It's a Long Way Back.
op:
After a trauma, your body is at its most vulnerable. Response time is critical. So you're suddenly surrounded by people—doctors, nurses, specialists, technicians—surgery is a team sport. Everyone pushing for the finish line. Putting you back together again. But surgery is a trauma in and of itself, and once it's over, the real healing begins. It's called recovery. Recovery is not a team sport. It's a solitary distance run. It's long. It's exhausting. And it's lonely as hell.
ed:
The length of your recovery is determined by the extent of your injuries. And it's not always successful. No matter how hard we work at it. Some wounds might never fully heal. You might have to adjust to a whole new way of living. Things may have changed too radically to ever go back to what they were. You might not even recognize yourself. It's like you haven't recovered anything at all. You're a whole new person with a whole new life.
episode 20 White Wedding.
op:
Diseases. Toxins. Our bodies encounter dangers all the time. Just beneath the surface hidden. Whether you realize it or not, your body is constantly protecting itself. Every time you blink your eye, you wash away thousands of unwanted microbes. Breathe in too much unwanted pollen, and you sneeze. The body detects the invader. It releases its white blood cells, and it attacks.
ed:
Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong.
episode 21 I Will Survive.
op:
We've all heard the saying. It's one of those things you learn in seventh grade science class. Adapt or die. Adapting isn't easy though. You have to fight your competition and off their attacks. And sometimes, you have to kill. You do what you need to do to survive.
ed:
Adapt or die. As many times as we've heard it, the lesson doesn't get easier. The problem is we're human. We want more than just to survive. We want love. We want success. We want to be the best that we can be. So, we fight like hell to get those things. Anything else feels like death.
episode 22 | Unaccompanied Minor.
op:
I always said I'd be happier alone. I have my work, my friends, but someone in your life all the time? More trouble than it's worth. Apparently, I got over it.
ed:
There is a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasnt because I thought I would be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don't have it. What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever...
