这场戏：看空地谈百万捐款
第 13 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'33"
霍克斯塔德带医生走到一片空地，说 Thanks to a certain young man from Chicago（多亏了芝加哥来的那位年轻人），那儿要盖一座精神外科大楼，由维奥莱特捐的一百万建成——no strings attached（不带任何附加条件）。可条件明摆着：她要他给侄女开刀。想学谈钱、谈条件的话术，这段最冷。

《夏日痴魂》这段在州立医院的空地上：霍克斯塔德带库克罗维茨医生来看一块地，说 Thanks to a certain young man from Chicago（多亏了芝加哥来的那位年轻人），这儿将盖起一座 devoted to psychosurgery（专门做精神外科）的大楼，纪念塞巴斯蒂安。钱是维奥莱特捐的，in big, round, beautiful figures, $1 million（一个又大又圆又漂亮的数字，一百万），而且 no strings attached（不带任何附加条件）。可条件很清楚：她要医生 go ahead with the operation（着手做手术），对象就是她侄女。随后两人还为凯瑟琳住不住普通病房争执。想学谈钱、谈条件和权力博弈的英文，这段很冷。

下一章 · 14go through probate走遗嘱认证程序这场戏：探病实为遗嘱签字意思是「不带任何附加条件、没有附加要求」。string 这里指「牵线、条件」。台词问 Just like that, no strings attached? 就是「就这么简单，不带任何条件？」。
blame someone for something。台词 You can't blame her for that 就是「这你不能怪她」。blame 后面先接人，再接事情。
两个都表示「专门用于、献给」。台词里 devoted to psychosurgery, dedicated to the memory of Sebastian 就是「专门做精神外科，纪念塞巴斯蒂安」，一个说用途，一个说纪念对象。
意思是「眼下、暂时」，暗示以后可能会变。台词里医生说 For the time being，就是「暂时是这样」，为将来的手术留了余地。
意思是「不合常规的、不按套路的」。台词 This is very unorthodox 是批评医生的做法太出格，语气偏正式。
