参考译文
Florence: A package came for you. I think it’s from overseas.
弗洛伦萨:你的包裹,好像是海外的。
Alexander: Oh, those are my drugs.
亚历山大:哦,这些是我买的药。
Florence: You’re buying your medication from overseas?
弗洛伦萨:你从海外买药?
Alexander: I have no choice. This drug isn’t FDA- approved yet.
亚历山大:没办法,这种药还没有通过美国食品药品管理局的认证。
Florence: Isn’t it dangerous to take a drug that isn’t approved?
弗洛伦萨:吃这种没有通过认证的药有风险吗?
Alexander: Not if it’s been approved in other countries. This drug is considered experimental here, but has been used in other countries safely for years.
亚历山大:没有,在别国家已经得到认证。这种药还在试验阶段,但是在别的国家已经安全使用很多年了。
Florence: But shouldn’t you just wait? How long could the process take anyway?
弗洛伦萨:但是你不应该再等等吗?认证过程会有多长时间?
Alexander: You have no idea. It can take years for a drug to be approved here, especially those that aren’t fast- tracked.
亚历山大:你不知道,一种药品获得认真需要很多年,特别是那些不能快速检测进度的药品。
Florence: That’s hard to believe.
佛罗伦萨:很难相信。
Alexander: It’s true. First, it has to be tested on animals or in a lab, and then it has to go through clinical trials. Only then is it put through a rigorous review by the FDA, which alone can take years.
亚历山大:这是真的。首先,药品需要再动物或者实验室里进行试验,然后需要通过临床试验。之后才能让美国食品药品管理局进行严格的审查,单独这一项审查就需要好几年。
Florence: You’re right. I had no idea.
佛罗伦萨:你说的对,我不清楚这一点。
Alexander: In the meantime, I’m suffering needlessly.
亚历山大:同时,我我正遭受不必要的痛苦。
Florence: You can’t legally import the drug for your own use, right?
弗洛伦萨:你没有办法为满足自己需求而合法进口药品,是吧?
Alexander: That’s right, but I feel like I have to circumvent the law to get the medicine I need.
亚历山大:是的,但是我规避法律来获得我需要的药品。
Florence: So how does it feel to be an outlaw?
弗洛伦萨:在法律规定之外做这件事,感觉怎么样?
Alexander: Um, healthy?
亚历山大:嗯,健康吗?
