  Registering in the Psychiatric Hospital
  住进精神病院
  (After contemplating suicide by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, 16-year-old Craig decides to go to the hospital to seek help. His doctor registers Craig for a one-week stay in the hospital’s 1)psychiatric ward. Craig is unsure if he made the right choice to stay, mostly due to the fact that his friends might find out when he misses school, especially Nia, his
  2)crush and the girlfriend of his best friend, Aaron. Also, he is placed in the adult ward because there are too few teenage patients, and he understandably feels uneasy and a bit scared.)
  Craig: Dr. Minerva. I uh…I’m feeling much better now. I was feeling bad this morning, but I’m okay now. So, you know, ①I’d like to go home, if that’s cool.
  Dr. Minerva: It says here you’re suicidal and asked to be admitted.
  Craig: Yeah, I thought you guys could do something quick. You know, like give me some 3)medication to make me feel better. Or…Look, I didn’t think that I’d be committed. I really don’t think I belong here.
  Dr. Minerva: A lot of patients feel that way at first. Just give it a little time.
  Craig: How little?
  Dr. Minerva: Five days.
  Craig: Five days?
  Dr. Minerva: No more than 30. We’ll have an evaluation to see if you’re ready to leave on Thursday.
  Craig: I can’t be here until Thursday because I’ll miss school, and my friends might find out where I am.
  Dr. Minerva: It’s nothing to be ashamed of, Craig. Depression is a medical illness. If you were a 4)diabetic, would you be embarrassed by that?
  Craig: Can I at least talk to my mom about this before…
  Dr. Minerva: Of course, Craig, I just spoke to her, she’s very anxious to see you.
  Mom: Craig, I knew you were having a hard time, but I had no idea. That you were…That it was…Well, you’re so brave, honey. I’m so proud of you.
  Craig: Really, um…②’Cause I was actually having second thoughts.
  Mom: Oh, no, hon. I think, you know, the doctors said they need you to stay here for a couple of days for observation. I think that’s a real good idea.
  Craig: But I don’t think you really understand, okay? Some of the people in here are really messed up. I don’t think my roommate’s left the room in weeks.
  Mom: I think we better leave it up to the doctor’s 5)discretion, you know. We’ve tried and they’re professionals, they can help you in ways that we can’t.
  Craig: They took my cell phone, so some people might try to call the house. Just please do not tell them that I’m in here.
  
  Embarassing on the Phone
  电话里的尴尬
  (After getting a message from Nia, Craig calls her back. On the phone, Craig tries to keep the secret that he’s in the psychiatric hospital, but there’s so many embarrassing things that happen.)
  Nia: Hello?
  Craig: Hey, Nia. What’s up?
  Nia: Hey! Just finishing my Gates Summer app. I’ll 6)freak if I don’t get in. What’s up with you?
  Craig: Um, just feeling kind of, you know…
  Nia: Yeah, I noticed. Is that why you weren’t in school today?
  Craig: Yeah, I was feeling pretty 7)shitty, so I just stayed home.
  Nia: Yeah, I get like that sometimes, too. Depressed or whatever. Do you take anything for it?
  Craig: Um…
  Nia: Look, I never told anybody this. Not even Aaron, but, if it makes you feel any better, I see a 8)therapist.
  Craig: Really?
  Nia: For, like over a year now.
  Craig: I had no idea.
  Nia: Yeah, it’s pretty embarrassing.
  Craig: I take Zoloft.
  Nia: Shut up!
  Craig: I do.
  Nia: Oh my God! ③We’re like so screwed up.
  Craig: Yeah, we’re like partners in mental illness.
  Nia: The illest.
  Patient 1: I’m Solomon. I would ask you to please keep it down. I’m trying to rest.
  Nia: Craig, who is that?
  Craig: Um…
  Patient 2: Excuse me. Will you be much longer?
  Nia: Is everything OK?
  Craig: One second, please?
  Nia: Are you like in a crack den or something?
  Craig: Yeah, no, it’s fine. Everything’s…
  Patient 3: It’ll come to you. It will always come to you.
  Nia: Where are you?
  Craig: I gotta go, Nia, bye.
  
  Everybody Knows the Facts
  人人都知道他有抑郁症
  (Craig’s friends call him, everybody knows that Craig’s in the psychiatric hospital.)
  Craig: Hello?
  Aaron: Is this the 9)loony bin?
  Craig: Okay, ④I’ve been putting this off, but I guess you should know more about my best friend, Aaron. He’s the kind of guy that life just comes easy to. He’s got a 4.6 10)GPA. I don’t even see how that’s possible. And he’ll probably get into the Gates Summer Program and claim something like…
  Aaron: I didn’t even apply to that thing. They totally
  11)recruited me. Whatever, it’ll look good on my college apps.
  Craig: Not that he’d need it. His 12)extra-curriculars are out of control. I mean, Aaron does everything. He plays sports. He started a film society. He invented that
  13)adapter thing that converts 14)vinyl albums into MP3s. I just couldn’t compete. How’d you get this number?
  Aaron: My girl gave it to me. How’d you end up in adult psych? Do they serve beer in there?
  Another friend: 15)Dude, can you get me any 16)Vicodin?
  Nia: Come on, guys. Leave him alone.
  Aaron: Seriously, Craig, what happened?
  Craig: I don’t know. I had a bad night.
  Aaron: What do you mean, a bad night?
  Craig: I’m just, you know, feeling…
  Aaron: Dude, you just need to chill more, okay? Your problem is, you never chill. I’m gonna be chilling tonight. Where you gonna be?
  Craig: Here. I’m gonna be here.
  Aaron: Oh my God, Craig! There is so nothing wrong with you.
  Craig: Yes, there is. I’m depressed. I take pills for it. Ask Nia.
  Aaron: Ask Nia what?
  Nia: Craig! (Nia stops him because she is afraid that Craig will tell that she has the same situation in mental illness. )
  Craig: Forget it! Maybe if you weren’t such a dick, people would talk to you more and you would know this kind of cuts out.
  
  (试图在布鲁克林大桥跳桥自杀后,16岁的格雷格决定去医院寻求帮助。医生要他在精神病科留院治疗一周。格雷格不知道留下住院是否是正确的决定,主要因为他缺课的时候他的朋友可能就会发现他的秘密,尤其是妮娅,他暗恋的女孩,也是他好朋友艾伦的女朋友。另外,他被安置在成人病区,那里很少青少年病人,难怪他会感到不安和有点害怕。)
  格雷格:米涅瓦医生,我……我感觉好多了。我早上感觉很难受,但现在好了。如果可以的话,我想回家去。
  米涅瓦医生:报告说你有自杀倾向,需要住院治疗。
  格雷格:是的,我本以为住院治疗快。比如给我开点药吃就会好很多的。或者……你瞧,我不知道自己必须呆在这里,我真的觉得我不属于这个地方。
  米涅瓦医生:很多病人刚开始都和你想的一样,过几天就好了。
  格雷格:几天啊?
  米涅瓦医生:5天。
  格雷格:5天?
  米涅瓦医生:不超过30天,我们会在星期四对你做个测评,看看你是否能出院。
  格雷格:我不能呆到星期四,否则我无法上学,而且我的朋友也会发现我在这里。
  米涅瓦医生:没有什么丢人的,格雷格。抑郁症是疾病的一种。如果你得了糖尿病,你会尴尬吗?
  格雷格:至少我能先跟我妈妈商量一下再……
  米涅瓦医生:当然了,格雷格,我刚和她通过电话,她迫不及待地想见你。
  妈妈:格雷格,我明白你前段时间很煎熬,然而我却不知道,不知道你……真是……不过,亲爱的,你很勇敢,我为你骄傲。
  格雷格:真的吗?呃……因为我当时确实很犹豫。
  妈妈:别这样,亲爱的,医生说你需要住院观察几天。我觉得这主意确实不错。
  格雷格:我想你还不了解这里的实际情况,对不对?这里的一些人问题真的很严重,我的室友已经几周没出过房门了。
  妈妈:我想我们应该遵从医生的建议吧。我们尽力帮过你,他们是专家,会用我们力不能及的方法帮助你。
  格雷格:他们把我的手机收走了,所以可能会有人往家里打电话,请别告诉他们我住在这里。
  
  (收到妮娅的短信后,格雷格给她回电话。电话里头,他极力不让妮娅知道他正在精神病院里,然而,尴尬的事情接连而来。)
  妮娅:喂?
  格雷格:嗨,妮娅,在忙什么?
  妮娅:嗨,刚填完盖茨暑假学校的申请表,要是读不了我会发疯的。你在忙什么呢?
  格雷格:就是觉得有点……
  妮娅:我注意到了,这就是为什么你今天没来学校吗?
  格雷格:是的,我心情很糟糕,所以就呆在家里。
  妮娅:是的,我有时候也那样。觉得抑郁什么的。你吃什么药吗?
  格雷格:呃……
  妮娅:瞧,我从来没跟任何人说过,甚至艾伦也没有,但是,如果你听了会好受很多。我在看心理医生。
  格雷格:真的吗?
  妮娅:看了有一年多了吧。
  格雷格:我不知道啊。
  妮娅:是啊,这事说出去挺尴尬的。
  格雷格:我在吃乐复得。
  妮娅:闭嘴。
  格雷格:是真的。
  妮娅:天哪,我们俩这是怎么了!
  格雷格:是啊,咱们俩像精神病友似的。
  妮娅:还是重症患者。
  病友1:我是所罗门,我希望你说话小声点。我想休息。
  妮娅:格雷格,谁在说话?
  格雷格:呃……
  病友2:抱歉,你还要说很久吗?
  妮娅:你没事吧?
  格雷格:马上就好。
  妮娅:你那边吵得像炸开锅了。
  格雷格:是啊,不是,没事,一切都……
  病友3:是祸躲不过,是祸终究躲不过。
  妮娅:你在哪里?
  格雷格:我得挂了,妮娅,再见。
  
  (格雷格的朋友打电话来了,大家都知道他在精神病院。)
  格雷格:喂?
  艾伦:是疯人院吗?
  格雷格:好吧,我一直回避这段,但我觉得你应该多了解了解,我最好的朋友艾伦。他是那种过得如鱼得水的人,他的GPA是4.6分,真是太不可思议了。他很可能会进盖茨夏令营,还会口口声声说……
  艾伦:我连申请都没做,完全是他们想要我去。管他呢,写在我的大学申请上应该不错。
  格雷格:倒不是说他需要这个,他的课外活动已经多得无暇顾及。我是说,艾伦什么都会。他参加体育活动;他成立了电影协会;他发明了个适配器能把黑胶唱片转录成MP3,我跟他没法比。你怎么弄到这个号码的?
  艾伦:我女朋友给我的。你怎么混进成人精神病院里去了?那里有啤酒喝吗?
  另一朋友:伙计,能给我弄点凡可汀吗?
  妮娅:好了,伙计们,别烦他了。
  艾伦:格雷格,说真的,到底怎么了?
  格雷格:不知道,我过了糟糕的一晚。
  艾伦:什么叫糟糕的一晚?
  格雷格:你知道,我就是觉得……
  艾伦:伙计,你需要冷静下来,知道吗?你的毛病就在于你从不冷静,我今晚得冷静冷静,今晚你想去哪儿?
  格雷格:这儿,我就在这儿。
  艾伦:我的天哪,格雷格,你根本就没事。
  格雷格:我有,我得抑郁症了。我还吃药治疗呢,你问妮娅。
  艾伦:问妮娅什么?
  妮娅:格雷格。(妮娅阻止格雷格说下去因为她怕格雷格把自己同样有抑郁的事说了出来。)
  格雷格:算了,要是你没那么混蛋,别人就会向你敞开心扉,你就知道得多一些事实了。
