福尔摩斯：基本演绎法 第一季第5集Lesser Evils（36）（在线收听）

Perhaps you noticed a bit of ischemia,

像你这样才华横溢的人

as brilliant men are wont to do,

也许注意到了有局部缺血

but around the same time

但同时

you committed yet another surgical error.

你还造成了一起手术事故

You left a clamp in Samantha Cropsey's chest

在一次常规搭桥手术中

during a routine bypass surgery.

你把手术钳留在了萨曼莎·克罗波西的胸部

Okay, I've had just about enough of this.

行了，我受够了

It was inevitable

萨曼莎会有并发症

Samantha would develop complications.

这不可避免

The mistake could have been easily rectified,

本来只要把手术钳拿出来

the clamp removed,

就可以弥补过失

but not without earning you your third strike

但同样也会带来第三次打击

and ending your formerly great career...

毁掉你之前辉煌的事业...

unless the Angel could make it all go away.

但死亡天使可以让这些不用发生

You realized that he targeted patients

你注意到他锁定的都是

who were not only terminal but also in tremendous pain,

极度痛苦的晚期病人

so you set about making Samantha an attractive target.

所以你开始把萨曼莎塑造成这样一个目标

First you found the biopsy of a patient

第一步你找到某个心脏癌病人的

dying of cardiac cancer.

活体检视

You put Samantha's name on the biopsy results,

把检查结果的名字改成萨曼莎

you noted that the tumor was found during her surgery,

记录下肿瘤是在手术中发现的

and then you placed them into her chart.

然后把这些放进了她的病历中

Secondly you made sure that she was in pain

第二步你要让她处于病痛之中

so the Angel would feel compelled to end her suffering.

好让死亡天使觉得有必要结束她的痛苦

That was simple enough.

这个就简单了

Just reduce her pain meds.

只要减少止痛药用量就行了

Now, this had the added benefit

这样做还有个好处

of making her too delirious

她神志不清

to effectively communicate with a killer

就无法和喜欢跟受害人

who liked to chat up his victims.

聊天的凶手交流

The Angel took the bait.

死亡天使上钩了

Samantha succumbed to a cardiac event.

萨曼莎就这么死于心脏病

Now, all you had to do

接下来你要做的就只剩下

was remove those cancer results from her chart

将癌症诊断从她的病历中去掉

and your mistake was erased

你的错误就被抹去了
