《实习医生格蕾》：亚利桑那生死难测

2013-01-07 00:00:00来源：沪江英语网

　　With Lexie"s (Chyler Leigh) death, Teddy's (Kim Raver) departure, and now the loss of Mark (Eric Dane), it seems like the other Grey's Anatomy docs should be out of the woods, which is especially notable for Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) lovers. After all, how many fan favorites can showrunner Shonda Rhimes cut at once?

　　However, before you sit back and relax, basking in the assurance that Arizona will live on, take a look at Shonda's recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. In this interview, Shonda confirms that Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Derek (Patrick Dempsey), and Cristina (Sandra Oh) all survive — and then notably refuses to weigh in on Arizona's fate, begging off with a "I don't know that I want to talk about Arizona."

　　But talk she does, in vague and frightening terms. When asked if Arizona might be leaving, she notes "we don't make decisions lightly and I certainly don't make these decisions lightly," adding, "I really try to stick to what's best for story and what's best for the show and it's really sometimes difficult to do that but it's also sometimes really gratifying."

　　She also notes that Arizona's story will "impact [Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez)] hugely. We're going to spend a lot of time with Callie this season, there's a lot of story to be told there." And, of course, she emphasizes that more deaths or departures are "possible."

　　Is it just us, or does her language sound very ominous? The way Shonda talks about not making decisions lightly and emphasizes difficult choices made for the sake of the story raises some major red flags — that's the same kind of language she used when discussing Lexie's death. Of course, Shonda Rhimes is a tricky woman, so she might intentionally be playing up the possibility that Arizona could die so that fans are extra relieved when she survives.

　　What do you think: Is Arizona really in danger, or is Shonda just messing with us?

　　《实习医生格蕾》(Grey's Anatomy)先是送别了莱西(Lexie)与泰迪(Teddy)，接着又痛失马克(Mark)，这样一来，剧中其他医生很可能都将脱离险境，这一点正是亚利桑那(Arizona)的粉丝们最关心的。然而更值得关注的问题则是本剧总监桑德·莱姆斯(Shonda Rhimes)到底准备一次性“砍掉”几个角色?

　　至于第九季中是否还有亚利桑那，桑德最近接受《好莱坞记者报》(The Hollywood Reporter)的访问时也许透露出了一点蛛丝马迹。桑德在本次采访中确认梅尔迪斯(Meredith)，德里克(Derek)与克里斯汀娜(Cristina)三人获救，之后便以“关于亚利桑那，我不知道该说些什么。”为由坚决不肯透露亚利桑那的情况。

　　不过桑德含糊的言辞似乎暗示着什么坏消息。当被问到亚利桑那会不会离开时，桑德说：“我们不会轻易做决定，并且我也绝对不会轻率地决定这件事。”她随即又补充说，“我的出发点一直都是为了让剧情更精彩，让剧集更好看。有时候真的很难坚持下去，但是坚持下来以后的结果会令人非常满意。”桑德还提到亚利桑那是否生还“将对剧情产生巨大影响(特别是凯丽·托雷斯/Callie Torres)。这一季中许多情节都是围绕凯莉展开的，会有说不完的故事。”当然，桑德同时也强调更多角色“可能”离开或死亡。

　　是只有我们觉得她的这些话听上去很耳熟，还是她真的以前也说过同样的话?像不会轻易做决定还有强调是出于对剧情的考虑，才不得不痛下决心这样的字眼貌似也曾被桑德用于解释莱西死亡的原因。如此看来，这些话无疑不是什么好预兆。但从另一方面来说，桑德·莱姆斯是个鬼才，所以她很可能是故意夸大亚利桑那遇难的可能性以保持神秘感。

　　你对此又有何见解?是亚利桑那真的处于危险之中还是桑德在卖关子?《实习医生格蕾》第九季将于9月27日周四晚9点(东部/太平洋时间)在ABC台首播。
