'Grey's' scoop: 'Heated debates' raging about Owen-Cristina-Teddy triangle

Grey’s Anatomy is doing the time warp again this Thursday with an episode that flashes back to Owen and Teddy’s stint as Army medics in Iraq. The intense hour promises to shed light on the duo’s pre-Seattle Grace relationship as well as the origin of Owen’s post-traumatic stress disorder. The guy at the center of all the drama, Kevin McKidd, took a few minutes out of his day to preview his big ep and reveal why Owen and Cristina’s main obstacle will “never go away.”

《实习医生格蕾》这部剧看来是玩时光倒退游戏上了瘾。本周四播出新的一集又将闪回到Owen和Teddy的伊拉克军旅生涯（小编注：难道也是向拆弹部队致敬？）。这一集将集中讲述这二人在来西雅图仁爱医院前的暧昧关系，顺便揭开Owen战争阴影的疮疤。Owen将是这一集的绝对中心，所有情节将围绕他展开。在此次盛宴上演前，我们请到了出演Owen的凯文·麦克基德进行采访，请他亲自说明Owen和Cristina的二人世界怎么会一直乌云密布。

How much do we learn about Teddy and Owen in this episode?
Kevin McKidd: The episode’s more about Owen being triggered by something that’s happening at Seattle Grace, and it brings all these [emotions] back to the point that he feels like he’s almost back there. That’s what brings us to the flashbacks. But it definitely shows the audience what kind of friendship [Owen and Teddy] had and the tough [conditions] they worked in. It also explains one of the reasons why Owen has PTSD. It shows an incident, a very traumatic incident, that happened out in the desert that Owen is still healing from. That’s sort of the journey in the episode.

问：在这一集中我们会知道Teddy和Owen的什么故事？
答：这集主要是说Owen被医院里发生的一些事所触动想起他身在伊拉克的过去。然后时光倒流，观众将看到这两人之间的“友谊”和当时他们在战地医院的艰苦工作。过去的事情将对Owen的战争阴影做出一个解释：Owen当时在沙漠中遇到了某个事件，而且惨不忍睹到他现在都不能忘怀。这就是我们新的一集将要讲述的。

What is the trigger?
McKidd: It’s a medical thing. It’s a very interesting medical thing.

问：是什么引发的闪回？
答：当然是医学这玩意儿了，是一个非常有意思的医学案例。

What is the fallout, if any, from these flashbacks for Cristina and Owen?
McKidd: I think what’s really interesting is that it sheds more light on Owen and Cristina’s day-to-day life as a couple and what sort of pressures they have to deal with. The churning up of this flashback definitely explains to the audience why they’re so intense as a couple. It shows the pressure that Owen’s living under and also the pressure Cristina has to deal with having a partner who has this pressure cooker inside his mind… You start to see some habits forming that maybe aren’t quite so healthy. And also, one of the main symptoms of PTSD is emotional detachment… not wanting to feel emotions so you numb your emotions and therefore become distant to the people that you’re closest to and in love with.

问：这次闪回的结果会对大家看好的Cristina和Owen这一对有什么影响吗？
答：比较有意思的是会影响这一对的日常生活，这两个人终于要正面二人共同生活带来的压力。在闪回中观众也会理解为什么这一对会关系一直很紧张，很少浪漫和温柔互动。揭示了Owen一直以来隐藏的生活在压力之下，还有可爱小眼睛Cristina如何处理身旁这个不知道什么时候就爆发的“炸弹”男友的关系。你会看到他俩形成一些坏习惯，但都比不上Owen因战争创伤而感情上疏远他人，他不愿感受自己的真实感觉，伤害周围的人和心中所爱。

Rumor has it Teddy’s going to hook up with Mark. What impact will that have on the Cristina-Owen-Teddy triangle?
McKidd: I don’t know. It is very nebulous at the moment in the writer’s room. I think it’s a very complicated situation. They created this very complicated construct of a triangle that is more complicated than most triangles. All I’ll say is that there have been a lot of heated debates and differences of opinion about where this is headed and what this is going to be. Whatever it’s going to be, it’s going to be very revelatory before long. To me, it feels like the complication hasn’t disappeared.

问：有消息说花心萝卜Mark将和Teddy送作堆，这会对这段三角恋情有好处吗？
答：我真的不知道，编剧那边还在含糊。我认为这会是一个非常复杂的三角恋（看过GG再说吧哥们...）。编剧写出了这么个超纠结的三角关系，至于怎么发展，故事接下来的走向都有很多热火朝天的争论。所以想知道结果还早得很，对我来说，这事儿就从来没简单过。

But is it safe to say Owen and Cristina’s main obstacle will center on his PTSD?
McKidd: I think that definitely will come into play. And I’m really excited about that because I think that’s a very adult problem. I think many people and many wives and loved ones of veterans are dealing with, ”Where am I in this? I know this person has a problem, but what am I getting out of this? Where is my life now? And even when there is love, when there’s a problem like this, is that enough?” That’s a really interesting story, and that’s definitely the same for Cristina and Owen. It’s a thing that’s not going away. Like Dr. Wyatt said in the season premiere, it can get better, it’s a thing that can be handled and managed, but it’s something that never really goes away.

问：那现在是不是就可以说OC恋主要的问题就集中在Owen的心理阴影上了？
答：目前演的就是这样。我对这段戏很来电，因为这类剧情可不是青少年之间的小打小闹，分分合合。这是个很成熟的问题，我相信有很多军人和他们的家人正经受着这类问题：“我为什么会在这里？离开之后我又是谁？我为什么回不去过去的生活了？可不可以谈一场正常的恋爱？”等等。这些问题让这个故事更加精彩，这也是Cristina和Owen都会一个个经历的。战争经历不会那么轻易忘记，就像剧中那个心理医生说的，它会一点点消逝，战争留下的创伤会慢慢好转遗忘，但它会一直在心里提醒着你。
