在患有老年痴呆五年后，母亲忽然暂时清醒了，开始关心自己女儿的近况
Ellis Grey: So tell me about yourself.
说说你自己的情况。
Meredith Grey: Well...
嗯...
Ellis Grey: What's your life like? I really do want to know you, Meredith.
你过得怎么样？我真的想了解你，Meredith。
Meredith Grey: Well, I have a boyfriend.
我有个男朋友。
Ellis Grey: Does he understand the demands of your career, because not all men do, they say they do upfront, but they...
他理解你的职业吗？不是所有男人都能理解，嘴上说能理解，但是...
Meredith Grey: He's great, he's doctor, too. So he gets it.
他很棒，也是医生，所以他了解。
Ellis Grey: Good.
不错
Meredith Grey: He's actually...
他实际上...
Ellis Grey: Have you chosen a speciality?
你已经选择专业方向了吗？
Meredith Grey: No, it's still early.
没，还早。
Ellis Grey: Cristina's already chosen cardiothoracics.
Cristina已经选择了心胸外科。
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...我正等着受启发。我现在很幸福，我现在很了解自己。另外，当拥有生命中的挚爱时，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？你这样就幸福了？我认识的Meredith有动力有激情，注意力集中，斗志昂扬。 你怎么了？你变得软弱了。结结巴巴的说着你的男朋友，还说你正等着受启发？你在等启发？开什么玩笑？！我得了不治之症，我觉得这足够启发你了吧！
Meredith Grey: Mom...
妈...
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!
听我说，Meredith，任何人都能坠入爱河，盲目地幸福，但不是每个人都能拿起手术刀拯救生命。我把你培养成为不同寻常的人。可五年后我清醒过来发现你不过是个庸人，想想我有多失望！你到底怎么回事！

女儿命垂一线，这时母亲出现把她送了回去，从此阴阳两隔
Ellis Grey: You shouldn't be here.
你不该呆在这儿。
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!
继续前进吧，别做懦夫。你...你毫不平凡 Meredith。现在快走，走！
