It's all about lines. The finish line at the end of residency, waiting in line for a chance at the operating table, and then, there's the most important line. The line separating you from the people you work with. It doesn't help to get too familiar. To make friends. You need boundaries between you and the rest of the world. Other people are far too messy. It's all about lines. Drawing lines in the sand, and praying like hell no one crosses them. residency ['rezidənsi] n. 住处;住院医生实习期 operating table [外科] 手术台 boundaries n. 界限 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 译文(兔子princess提供,仅供参考): 所有这一切都是关于“线”的,线的终点是实习期的结束, 接着排成直线来等待机会上手术台,然后是最重要的那条“线”将你和你的同事们隔开,界限并没有帮助我熟悉周围,或是结交朋友,你需要一个分界线,在你和这 个世界之间,其他人都忙的一团糟,一切都是关于“线”的。在沙子上画线,然后拼命祈祷没有人去踩坏它们。
