第十五集 Put It to the Test

Surgeons are put through rigorous tests just to get in the game. We endure decades of anxiety-provoking acronyms... SAT, MCAT, USMLE, ABSITE. And if we pass that gauntlet...we are rewarded with the need to log 850 surgeries and take an 8-hour multiple-choice and oral exam. There's almost no time to take in the victory... or even a nap.

Researchers studied why some people perform better on tests. They found that it's not necessarily related to intelligence. Some people become anxious during exams... and divert mental energy toward anxiety instead of expending it on finding the right answers. Others have a better grasp of how tests work. They use process of elimination and other techniques to help them make better choices. Some people study harder. They start early, make flashcards...rely on repetition to retrieve answers when they need them. Tests don't always measure how much you know. They measure how well you take tests. And tests certainly don't measure your worth. But knowing that doesn't make it hurt less when you don't succeed.

——Meredith Grey

十八季了，这部剧还是能让人震惊或感动，今天的闪回太让人伤感了，回忆满满。

四年前的3月29日，Mer与尼克相遇。

喜欢尼克是因为他的温暖，本剧大多数男性角色，如欧文或林克，以至于以前的马克-斯隆，都具有一定的攻击性，这么说不太确切，应该说是一种偏硬朗的气质。所以尼克的温和柔软格外引人注目，当年Derek是明亮阳光，而Mer经过这么多年生离死别，到这个年纪真不需要各种抓马了。十几年下来，不但看到了角色的成长，编剧也在随着年龄增长而进化。

贝莉脱口而出的话太伤人了，不过”having sex in cars“这个秘密一直守了十几年也不容易啊。艾伦-澎湃今天的表演也十分到位，很久没有见到的那种激情，无论是伤感，与尼克之间的温情，还是受到冒犯时的怒火，都非常真实。她在表达感情方面很独到。

Mer因为贝莉而下定决心重新开始，也不是坏事。七年前Derek意外身亡，她还没有准备好，如今一切了然于心，可以向前了。

Kai的气质也和这部剧不太一样。GA更像家庭剧，吵吵闹闹纷纷扰扰，Kai的那种冷淡就有些遗世独立的感觉。虽然不一样，却让人耳目一新，也没有不和谐之感。与林克对峙一幕就是两类性格的碰撞，Amelia小小的一只却挺身而出保护Kai的样子特别萌。Atticus这个名字，在拉丁语义中是形容词，指“属于Attica的”，也就是“雅典娜的”，《杀死一只知更鸟》中的律师就叫Atticus Finch，电影里由格里高利-派克扮演。因为名字差点引起一场斗殴也是奇怪，林克大概就是找个理由吧哈哈。这部剧真是看尽众生相。

Kai说“韦伯是Amelia的大卫”，其实不止如此。韦伯对Amelia不仅是前辈，因为Mer和Maggie的关系也是父女，两人还因为各自的酒瘾和毒瘾有过更深层次的联接。所以韦伯通过测试Amelia是由衷地为他开心。

知道施密特不会就此离开，以妈妈受重伤为代价也过于惨烈了，不过也想不到更好更自然的写法。

林克和Jo面对检查团二人组都很自然地说了实话。就是因为这医院的家庭感太浓了，你在自己家里说话不会小心翼翼。

林克：I left a job with the Seattle Mariners to work at Grey-Sloan. That was a big change. Turned my life upside down, you know? I used to live life on the road, free and easy. Now I have a baby and, uh, a completely shattered heart, and an apartment with no furniture. I'm sorry. What was the question?

Jo: My husband left me, and then I had a nervous breakdown... Not in that order... And then there was a pandemic. So I just needed a change.

——Jo的戏剧性经历，那么悲伤，就这么轻描淡写地说出来了。
