這場戲：講述扎克的奇蹟
第 7 章 · 共 27 章 · 3'36"
庫爾特問扎克是不是天生就看不見，布倫達講起那段險些失去他的往事：醫生說能 make it through the night（熬過這一夜）就算走運。多年後扎克偏偏 prove everyone wrong（證明所有人都看錯了）。聊到自己，她只說 I'm a work in progress（還在打磨）。想學怎麼把沉重的經歷講得平靜又有力量，這場戲別錯過。

扎克是不是天生就看不見？布倫達說不是，還講起扎克四個月大時被摔的那一夜：孩子腦部腫脹，醫生說能 make it through the night（熬過這一夜）就算走運。她記得電話裡那股 panic in his voice（聲音裡那股慌亂），也記得自己一遍遍祈禱。後來醫生斷言他走不了路、開不了口，扎克卻一樣樣 prove everyone wrong（證明所有人都看錯了）。說到信仰，布倫達用 a work in progress（還在打磨）形容自己。之後庫爾特去她爸爸的車庫見家人，兩人把「咱倆到底行不行」攤開聊。想學怎麼講一段沉重往事、怎麼在感情裡試探和讓步，這場戲可以反覆聽。

I got this call from Brad when Zack was four months old. He said, "He's breathing funny." And I still remember the panic in his voice. And I rushed to the hospital... where we were told his brain was swelling and that he'd be lucky to make it through the night. And they had no idea what was wrong 'cause... 'Cause Brad didn't tell us, not for 24 hours... that he accidentally dropped Zack. On his head. In the tub. Oh... Could've been different, you know, if he'd just told the truth. I remember praying and praying and begging God to just save my baby boy. So, the doctor told me he'd never walk, and yet... That he'd never talk, and now, I can't get him to stop. That he'd never be a black truck driver. He keeps finding a way to prove everyone wrong. He's... [INHALES DEEPLY] He's my miracle.
我接到布拉德的電話 那時候扎克才四個月大。 他說：“他喘氣不太對勁。” 我到現在還記得他聲音裡那股慌。 我趕緊衝到醫院…… 醫生說他腦部在腫，能熬過這一夜就算命大。 可他們根本查不出問題出在哪，因為…… 因為布拉德一直沒說，整整二十四小時都沒說…… 他不小心把扎克摔了。 頭磕了。就在浴缸裡。 天哪…… 你知道，他當時要是說了實話，結果可能就不一樣了。 我記得 我一遍遍地祈禱，求上帝救救我的孩子。 醫生說他一輩子都走不了路，可現在…… 說他永遠開不了口，可現在我想讓他閉嘴都難。 說他這輩子別想當黑人卡車司機。 他總能想辦法證明所有人都錯了。 他是……（深吸一口氣）他是我的奇蹟。
下一章 · 08a dark horse黑馬這場戲：全家圍著電視等選秀字面是「撐過這一晚」。這裡醫生說扎克腦部腫脹，能熬過這一夜就算命大，說的是生死關頭能不能挺過來。
prove everyone wrong。布倫達說醫生斷言扎克走不了路、開不了口，他卻一樣樣做到，用的就是 He keeps finding a way to prove everyone wrong。
a work in progress。庫爾特問她現在還信不信當年教堂裡那位女士的話，她說 I'm trying，又說 I'm a work in progress，意思是自己還在慢慢變好。
That's good news。庫爾特說兩人都成「咱倆」了，布倫達回 Oh, we're an "us" now. That's good news，語氣其實是反話，帶著調侃。
imagine a scenario where。布倫達說 I'm trying to imagine a scenario where any of this works，用一句設想把顧慮和懷疑說了出來，還不太傷人。
