“Do not waste yourself in rejection; do not bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.”

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“别把自己耗在拒绝上；不要跟坏人叫板，但是请歌颂好人的美丽。”

——拉尔夫•沃尔多•爱默生

I read that today in a friend's Facebook status update. Yes, I was Facebook lurking as a means of procrastination just like I was tweeting as a means of procrastination. And yes, Shonda did publicly tweet-reprimand me, which I took with a grain of salt seeing as she had tweeted 20 times in the prior ten minutes.

这句话是我今天在朋友的facebook状态更新上读到的。是的，我把在facebook潜水当做拖延的一种手段，我在twitter留言也是这目的。而且Shonda已经公开在twitter上谴责我，而我对此指控持保留态度，因为她已经在过去的十分钟里在twitter上说了20几次这事儿了。

What was my point here?

我这是在说啥呢？

Oh, the Emerson quote.

哦，爱默生的这句话。

It made me pause.

它让我停了下来。

It made me breathe.

它使我能够呼吸。

For a brief moment, I was overcome with gratitude, not only for Emerson’s wise words, but for people who take the time to tweet and facebook-post inspirational quotes that get me to pause the incessant cycle of thoughts that spiral through my brain every day.

曾有一刻，我满怀感激之情，不仅是因为读到爱默生这句充满哲理的话，也是为了这些人，他们抽空在twitter和Facebook上贴了这些充满哲理的话，这些话让我给在我脑袋里不停急剧增长的那些想法摁下了暂停。

"Do not bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good."

“不要跟坏人叫板，但请歌颂好人的美丽。”

Doesn't it make you breathe a little differently, just for a minute? That quote is my gift to you today, just as it was a gift to me. And seeing as the theme of tonight's episode was Gifts, it seems appropriate.

这句话难道没有让你的呼吸都变得有点儿不一样吗，哪怕是一分钟？这句话就是我今天送给你们的礼物，因为它也曾是我收到的礼物。加上今晚的剧集主题——“礼物”，使一切看起来变得水到渠成。

You know what the biggest gift of tonight's episode was?

那你知道今天的剧集里最大的礼物是什么吗？

Sara Ramirez singing Silent Night a capella while Chandra Wilson acts her ass off at the dinner table. Moments like that, gifts like that... They make me love my job even more. In my lifetime, I have never seen a more powerful performer than Sara Ramirez when she sings live. I hope someday you get to see her, but until then, this was a little taste. It was Shonda's stroke of genius -- her little Christmas gift to me, I like to think, although really, she probably intended it as a gift to all of you. Still, I am grateful. The other gift of this scene is that I got to write Bailey's words and put them on television. Those words were important to me. Without getting too personal, I will admit that there are some things going on in my life that mirror some of the things going on in Bailey’s life. If you’ve read this blog before, you know that we writers frequently cull from our personal lives to come up with the stories we tell on the show each week. (As I write this, Joan Rater is in the writer’s room, dramatically performing some of her favorite moments of life with Tony Phelan – and our writer’s assistant Austin is frantically trying to keep pace and write it all down. And Bill Harper is doing funny accents, which is really neither here nor there.)

当Chandra Wilso（Bailey的扮演者）在晚餐桌上展现其精彩绝伦的表演时，背景音乐是Sara Ramirez（Callie的扮演者）唱起的Silent Night。这样的时刻，这样的礼物……使我更爱我的工作。

Sara Ramirez演唱时，我从未见过比她更棒的演员。我希望有一天你们能够真正体会她的实力，而在那之前，今天你所看到的只是冰山的一角。

同样的，我也一厢情愿地认为Shonda的神来之笔是她送给我的小小圣诞礼物，但其实她应该是想把这份礼物送给你们所有人。

尽管如此，我依然心存感激。

这一幕中我收到的另一个礼物，就是我写出了Bailey的台词，并把它们呈现在了屏幕之上。我不是想针对某人，但得承认我生活中发生的某些事确实被反映在了剧里Bailey的生活中。

如果你以前读过这个博客，你就会知道我们这些作家经常从自己的生活中提炼出那些我们能在每周剧集里讲述的故事。

（我写这博客时，写作室里Joan Rater *注解1* 正和Tony Phelan *注解2* 给我们表演她最爱的几个关于生命的片段。我们的助手Austin正手忙脚乱地试图跟上他们的脚步并记录下他们的表演。Bill Harper 正发出那些听起来哪儿也不像的、有趣的口音。）

My point is, I tend to rape and pillage my own life to bring you drama every week. In this episode, for example, when the girl talks about hiking the Inca Trail? That’s because I hiked the Inca Trail, so I know how to describe it. (I’m averse to research so anytime I can just write what I know, I choose to.) And when Bailey defends her decision to leave a marriage that was no longer feeding her soul? That was no longer an example she wanted to set for her young child? I’m not getting too personal here, but I’m saying, I was happy to be able to put those words on TV. Bailey doesn’t need to be berated by her dad, see? Cause Bailey? Beats the crap out of herself way harder than anyone else ever could. But it was nice, the way her Dad came around in the end. And I think he was right that Bailey should’ve called and told him about her divorce.

我想说的是，我试图践踏并掠夺自己的生活，为你们奉上这每周一集。

这周的剧集里，记得那女孩说到她登过印加古道吗？那是因为我登过印加古道，所以我知道怎么去描述那情形。

（我自己是反对做调查的，所以我只能写我知道的事，我选择这么去做。）

还记得Bailey捍卫自己做出的决定，即脱离这段不再慰藉她心灵的婚姻的那段吗？这场婚姻不再是她想为孩子树立的婚姻典范了。

对此我不是针对某人，但我想说，我非常高兴能把这些话通过屏幕之口说出来。看到了吧，Bailey不是得一直挨他老爸骂的。因为Bailey比任何人都勇敢的面对前路。

但是，他爸爸最后的让步当然也非常温馨。我觉得他是对的，Bailey是应该告诉她爸爸关于自己离婚的事。

Okay, what else can I tell you? I’d like to give you behind the scenes tidbits from the shooting of the episode, but I had the damn flu the whole time it was shooting so I was barely there. Oh! I know! Let’s talk about the fact that we did a holiday episode without Izzie! The Twitterers have been berating us for weeks – how COULD you, they ask? Izzie LOVES the holidays! To you, I say, dude… I know. I feel your pain. I wrote the last holiday episode. I remember vividly when Izzie helped Alex study for his exams because, “It’s what JESUS would freakin’ DO!” I remember when she and George and Meredith lay beneath the Christmas tree, soaking in the lights. I missed her like crazy in this episode and you know who else missed her? Even though he didn’t talk about it? Alex. That’s why he wouldn’t sing Christmas carols in the surgery. That’s why he didn’t show up for dinner at Meredith’s. It breaks my heart, the way she left him, and that she didn’t show up for the holidays. I think he thought she might. Because Izzie LOVES the holidays. But she didn’t and yeah, it sucks.

好吧，还有啥我该说的？我还可以告诉你们一些拍摄时的幕后花絮，但是该死的，拍摄时我一直在患流感，所以几乎不在片场。

呀！我知道说什么了！说说这次我们做的没有Izzie的节日剧集吧！Twitter上很多人都骂我们骂了好几个星期了——你们怎么敢？Izzie爱节日爱到不行好不好！这个，我得说，好吧，我知道啦。我能感受到你们的痛苦。

上个节日剧集就是我写的，我非常清楚地记得Izzie还帮Alex复习考试内容，因为“这就是他妈的老天都会做的事！”。我记得Izzie、George和Mere躺在圣诞树下，沉浸在灯光中。这次的剧集里我疯狂地想念Izzie。——你知道还有谁想她么，尽管这人什么都没说？

就是Alex啦。所以他才会在做手术时没有和其他人一起唱圣诞颂歌。所以他才会没在Mere家的圣诞大餐上出现。

Izzie离开Alex，Izzie没因节日的出现而出现，这些可真是伤了我的心啦。我觉得Alex真的以为Izzie会出现的。因为Izzie就是爱节日爱到不行嘛。不过，她还是没出现，好吧，这可真是糟透了。

But we’re not barking about the bad, we’re chanting the beauty so let’s talk about the Chief/Arizona/Owen Christmas jam! I have to admit, I have never loved dailies more, ever. I must have watched them sing that song for 20 minutes straight. Those dailies were truly a gift during my flu-ridden misery. They lifted my whole heart up and made it feel all floaty and giddy for hours. I hope the scene did the same for you.

但是，我们没跟坏人叫板，我们在歌颂好人的美丽。所以让我们聊聊Chief、Arizona和Owen的圣诞即兴演奏吧！我得说，我从来没这么爱过这些样片，从来没有过。我就应该直接在现场看他们唱个20几分钟的。这些样片真是我那“杯具性”流感缠身期间的大礼啊。它们让我满心欢喜，就这么疯疯癫癫、飘飘然了好久哦。我希望你也这么觉着。

And since we’re chanting the good… Can we talk about the hot hot hot HOT Owen Cristina kissing??? Oh my God, I’m like a fan girl, I can’t help it. And how ‘bout the scene where Owen whispers into Teddy’s mouth, “I’m in love with Cristina.” I wrote it. I pictured it. But when I saw it? I seriously threw up a little in my mouth. It was SO brutal – and what was so brutal is that Owen didn’t mean to be brutal. He clearly loves them both. Which is…impossible. And devastating. And BRUTAL. I mean it – how could Teddy not love him? Playing guitar one minute, torturedly whispering into her mouth the next… How that will all play out, I do not know. I mean it, I don’t know. We’re a little behind in the writer’s room. But I’m as excited as you are to see how it all goes down!

那既然要歌颂好人的美丽。我们可以来说说Owen和Cristina的激情一吻吗？？？天啊，我就跟个粉丝少女似的，忍不住啊。

那么，聊聊Owen轻轻向Teddy嘴唇边低声细语，说出“我现在爱着Cristina”的那一幕吧？是我写的。是我拍的。但是我看的时候？真的，我吐了。那可真够冷血的。而最冷血的部分就在于Owen本来不想冷血的。

显然，他两个都爱。而这……是不可能滴。而且，这破坏性很大，而且，这才是真的冷血啊。

我是说，Teddy怎么可能不爱他？他这一分钟在弹着吉他，下一分钟就残忍地对着Teddy的嘴边来个低声细语……

这事儿怎么完？我不知道。我真不知道。我们在写作室的进度有点儿落后了，但是我和你们一样兴奋期待着剧情的发展！

There’s so much more in this episode – Mark Sloan becoming the sexiest Grandpa on TV and Meredith making a deal with the devil and Arizona and Derek and Mark paying their own hard-earned money to save the life of a very sick little boy. It made my heart happy, that story. And so did the story of the woman living without a heart for all that time and surviving. Both of those were our gift to you, to send you into the holiday season with hope and optimism. My friend Peter called me today and when I said, “How are you?” He said, “I’m trying, actively, to renew my faith and my hope and my joy and my optimism. They’ve all gone missing, which is not okay with me.” I love Peter. I love that when his faith goes missing, he doesn’t sit and feel sorry for himself. He goes turning over rocks and stones, looking for it. He prays and he calls friends and he says out loud what he’s feeling. Which, in itself, demonstrates that his faith is not as far away as he imagines. That’s the feeling I hope this episode left you with. That miracles are possible…That a simple song can lift your spirits…. That speaking your truth, or opening your checkbook, or offering a simple apology or making an attempt to understand another’s point of view can turn your whole day or your whole year around. That life doesn’t always happen the way we hope or plan but that that doesn’t matter. How we greet what life throws our way is all that matters. “Do not waste yourself in rejection; do not bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.” Happy Thanksgiving. And Merry Christmas. And May There Be Peace on Earth.

这集要说真的还有很多啦……Mark Sloan变身电视史上最性感外公，Mere和魔鬼订下契约，Arizona、Derek和Mark花自己挣的钱来救垂死小盆友……

救小盆友的这个故事，让我的心很happy。还有那个女孩“无心”生存并获治的故事，也让我的心很happy。

这些故事就是送给你们的礼物，希望在节日里给你们送上乐观和希望。

我的朋友Peter今天给我打电话了，当我说“你怎么样？”时，他回答说：“我正在积极地让我的信仰、我的希望、我的快乐和我的乐观变得焕然一新。它们全都丢了，我对此很不乐意。”我喜欢Peter。当他信仰丢失，他没有就干坐着，为自己感到抱歉，我喜欢他这样做。他把石头搬开去找寻自己的信仰。他祈祷，他寻求朋友的帮助，他大声说出他的感觉。而这本身就说明他信仰远不像他所想的跑丢了那么远。

这种感觉就是我希望这一集能够留给你的。

这样的奇迹是有可能发生的……

这样一首简单的歌就能让你士气大增……

说出你认为的事实，掏出你的支票簿，轻轻地说声抱歉，站在别人的立场考虑问题……

——所有这些都能让你的整天、整年大变样。

生活并不总是向着我们期望或者计划的轨道发生，但是这真的真的不重要。重要的是，我们怎样去迎接生活抛在我们前进路上的考验。

“别把自己耗在拒绝上；不要跟坏人叫板，但是请歌颂好人的美丽。”

感恩节快乐，圣诞节快乐。愿世界和平。
