下午结束后林美雪主动找到约翰教授,“teacher, your assignment has been pleted, will Eric stay in china or return to Los Angeles?”
(老师,您交代的任务已经完成了,艾瑞克是继续留在中国还是回洛杉矶呢?)
“It's not very clear at the moment, he hasn't returned to Los Angeles yet, and I don't know what he thinks. what do you mean?”
(目前不太清楚,他还没有回洛杉矶,我还不清楚他的想法。你的意思呢?)
“of course, I hope that he can stay, I still need his help with the trial there, and he can help me with some things in the hospital; but it mainly depends on what he thinks.”
(我当然希望他能够留下来,我那边的试验还需要他的帮助,医院的一些事情他还可以帮我分担;但主要还是要看他的想法。)
艾瑞克在中国期间对于林美雪研究方面和工作上的帮助无疑是非常大的。也给林美雪带来了一些他自己的见解和理念,所以林美雪非常想他留下来。
在医院的日常工作中,艾瑞克也展现出了他的多面才华。他不仅能够熟练地进行各种复杂手术,还善于与患者沟通,用他那温和而坚定的声音给予患者信心和鼓励。
然而,艾瑞克是否愿意继续留在中国,仍然是一个未知数。林美雪知道,她不能强求任何人做出决定,只能尊重艾瑞克的个人意愿;但她想或许可以请他吃顿饭商量一下。
第一天会议结束后约翰教授专门请林美雪吃饭,为林美雪辅导艾瑞克论文的事情,他们坐在一家优雅的餐厅里,窗外是繁华的都市夜景。
约翰教授微笑着对林美雪说,“Lin, thank you for helping me teach my son.”(林,谢谢你帮我教儿子。)
林美雪谦逊地摇头,“it's my pleasure. Erick has been an invaluable asset to our team, his insights and dedication have truly enriched our research. I hope he can stay longer, but ultimately, it's his decision to make.”
(这是我的荣幸。艾瑞克一直是我们团队的宝贵财富,他的洞察力和奉献精神真正丰富了我们的研究。我希望他能待得更久一些,但最终,这是他要做出的决定。)
约翰教授轻轻点头,眼神中流露出对儿子的骄傲与理解,“Indeed, under your guidance, he has grown a lot. I'll talk to him and see if I can get him to stay and help you.”
(确实,在你的指导下,他成长了很多。我会和他谈谈,看看能不能让他继续留下来帮你。)
