这场戏：翻病历吵要不要开刀
第 20 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'19"
医院里，霍克斯塔德翻着凯瑟琳的病历——自杀、闹事、烫修女——质问医生是不是想毁掉医院。医生却一句 It was the other way around（事情正好反过来），还说 She was provoked（她是被激怒的）。面对明天就要动刀的催促，他只要 Give me one more day（再给我一天）。想学怎么据理力争，看这段。

《夏日痴魂》这段在医院办公室：霍克斯塔德把凯瑟琳的病历一条条念出来——自杀未遂、煽动闹事、用香烟烫修女，质问他是不是想把医院毁掉。库克罗维茨反驳 It was the other way around（事情正好反过来），又说 She was provoked. I was there, I saw it（她是被激怒的，我当时在场，我亲眼看见了）。院长催他明天就动手术，他坚持 I need more time（我需要更多时间），只求 Give me one more day to see if I can break through that block（再给我一天，看能不能突破那道墙）。他还点明对方真正在意的：你不想让别人说我们 acted hastily（行事草率）or unethically（不合规矩），对吧。
