mystery: 难以理解的事 trauma: 精神创伤 affect: 影响 growth: 成长

啊，好吧…这的确是个谜题，Collins太太。我们都知道，有时候精神创伤会影响孩子的成长。

Given the stress of the past five months, his spine may have actually shrunk. stress: 紧张 spine: 脊柱 actually: 实际上 shrink: 收缩

过去5个月里他经受的紧张压力，可能让他的脊椎出现了收缩。 It's uncommon, but it's within the realm of possibility. uncommon: 罕有的 realm: 领域 possibility: 可能性 非常罕见，但并非毫无可能。 -Christine: And circumcision? circumcision: （医学）包皮环切 那割包皮的事呢？

No wonder he's submerged the memory. traumatic: 创伤的 no wonder: 难怪 submerge: 使陷入

当时给他造成的刺激一定很大，所以他选择忘掉那段记忆。 -Christine: I... 我…

-Tarr: You see, there's a perfectly sound medical explanation for all of this. medical: 医学的

你看，你所提出的疑点都有完美的医学解释。 But it's right for you to raise the questions. raise: 提出（问题等）

当然了，你有权力提出质疑。

You need to be apprised of all changes the lad went through during his absence. apprise: 通知 lad: 少年 go through: 经历 absence: 不在

你必须理解，在他失踪的那段时间里，这个孩子可能出现各种变化。 -Christine: Wouldn't I know whether or not he's my son? I'm the mother. 我难道还会不知道他是不是我儿子吗？我是母亲。 -Tarr: Which means you're in no position to be objective. position: 情况 objective: 客观的

也意味着你没法客观冷静地来看待这个问题。

You are looking through the prism of extreme emotion at a boy who has changed from what you remember.

prism: 棱镜 extreme: 极度的 emotion: 情绪

你太钻牛角尖了，只关注孩子的过去，而这个孩子跟你记忆中的形象出入很大。

He isn't the same boy that left here. Just as a boy that goes off to war and then returns is not the same anymore.

他和离开这里时的孩子不一样了，就好像参军回来的孩子和以前大不相同。 And a mother's heart, driven by intuition and emotion, sees these changes and rebels, intuition: 直觉 rebel: 反叛的

而母亲的判断往往依靠的是直觉和情绪，在发现这些改变后起了抵触心理， insists that this isn't your son. Doesn't change the facts. insist: 坚持

所以才坚持说这不是你的孩子，但事实是无法改变的。

I'm willing to put my theory to the test of objectivity, Mrs. Collins. Are you? willing: 愿意 theory: 理论 objectivity: 客观性

请让我用更客观的方法来证明我的理论，Collins太太，你来吗？ -Christine: It is absolutely outrageous!

absolutely: 绝对地 outrageous: 令人不能忍受的 这实在是太过分了！

-Jones: Calm yourself, calm yourself and just listen to me. calm: 冷静

你先冷静下来，冷静，好好听我说。

-Christine: No, no, no. No, you listen to me, please. 不，不是，请你听我说。

This so called doctor paraded me around my own neighborhood, so called: 所谓的 parade: 在…来回走动 neighborhood: 邻居 这个所谓的医生把我带到我的邻居面前转悠，

like some kind of a derelict mother who didn't even know her own son. derelict: 不负责任的

说得好像我是个失职到连自己的儿子都认不出来的妈妈。 -Jones: And what was his findings? finding: 发现

他的结论是什么？

-Christine: He found what he expected to find, what you obviously told him he would find. obviously: 显然地

他只得到了他想要的结论，很明显也就是你希望他得出的结论。

-Jones: Mrs. Collins. But that's not... That's nothing to be embarrassed about. embarrass: 使难堪

Collins太太，这不是…没有什么好懊恼伤心的。 -Christine: That I was embarrassed is not the issue. issue: 争论点

我伤不伤心不是重点。

The point is that you are wasting time when you should be looking for my son. 重点是你在浪费时间，你真正应该做的是去找我的儿子。 -Jones: But the report is final, Mrs. Collins. final: 结论性的

很遗憾，交完报告就都结束了Collins太太

-Christine: Well, then I want to receive the report, so I can refute it, before it goes to anyone else. receive: 收到 refute: 反驳

是吗，那我希望能收到报告，在这份报告交给任何人之前，我要拒绝接受这份报告。 -Jones: Fine. 随便你。

-Christine: Yes. Good day. 谢谢，再见。

-Walter: I'm finished. Could I go to my room now? 没有我的事了，我能不能回自己房间？ -Christine: Yes. 去吧。
