The summer hiatus seems like an eternity for fans, but the characters of Grey's Anatomy will pick up much sooner, according to shot-caller Shonda Rhimes.
美剧夏休期间对于喜欢《实习医生格蕾》的观众们来说，那是整整的一个夏天，据该剧制作人Shonda Rhimes透露，这个长长的夏休对于剧中的角色来说，这不过是5天时间而已。

When Grey’s Anatomy opens its eighth season September 22, only five days will have passed since the Season 7 finale and MerDer’s emotional falling out.
今年9月22号，《实习医生格蕾》就要开始它的第八季播出了，而第八季剧中的时间仅仅是第七季大结局的5天之后。

That means Derek and Meredith are far from resolving this major marital crisis, which has been complicated tenfold by baby Zola's introduction into their lives.
这也就是说Derek和Meredith的婚姻危机还未解除，而刚领养来的Zola的到来更让他们之间的关系变得扑朔迷离。

“Meredith and Derek have a lot of things to work out,” Rhimes says.
“Meredith和Derek之间还有很多事情需要解决，”Rhimes说。

Things are complicated on every level because, “They have a personal relationship, they have a parenting relationship, and they have a work relationship.”
他们之间的感情问题没那么简单，因为“他们之前既有爱情，也有为人父母的责任，而且还是同事。”

Elsewhere, Cristina has yet to act on her decision re: pregnancy.
另外Cristina也要对自己怀孕做出最后的抉择。

“Five days later and she still hasn’t gone and done it - why hasn’t she and what’s going on with her?” Rhimes muses, then adds this intriguing teaser.
“虽然Cristina预定了人流手术，但是第八季中这个手术还未实施——Cristina为什么没有那么做？她怎么了？”Rhimes说。

“The old Cristina would’ve had the abortion [already].”
按照Cristina以前的性格，人流手术肯定已经做完了。

Does that mean she'll back off and actually have the baby, to Owen's delight? Or will she follow through with the controversial decision before our eyes?
这是不是意味着她为了Owen还是决定要这个孩子？还是剧情安排她在开播之后让观众们亲眼见证这一幕呢？
Either way, we'll find out soon: “By the end of the season premiere she has made her decision,” Rhimes says.
不管怎样，我们很快就会知道答案：“在第八季首播集的结尾，我们就会知道她的决定了。”Rhimes说。
