第五集
I wasn’t as enthralled by this week’s House as I have been previous episodes. It was still an engrossing medical mystery; the character elements just seemed superficial this week. First, I was misled by the TV schedule which suggested that the mystery was going to involve stigmata. That sounded intriguing and I was looking forward to discovering what diagnosis Dr. House would pin on bleeding palms. Unfortunately, the episode did not deal with stigmata, although it did focus on a nun. This particular nun had a wide variety of puzzling symptoms which some of the other nuns at her monastery (and I always thought monks lived in monasteries while nuns lived in convents) thought she was simp*1y a hypochondriac. For the second week in a row, lessons learned in previous episodes were forgotten as the solution to this week’s mystery involved two separate and unrelated diagnoses — which violates the principle of Occam’s Razor.
相比于前面几集,我并不是很欣赏这周的豪斯医生。其医学谜团依然很吸引人,但是却并没有涉及太多的神秘符号。(我想其)主要原因是我被电视预告里面关于“圣痕”的部分误导了,我的兴趣都集中在了豪斯将会如何研究修女手上的红斑,没想到后面却没有提到多少。这个和其它修女一起住在寺院中的修女(我觉得僧侣才是生活在寺院里,而修女应该是生活在修道院里)的症状确实很怪异。不过正如在之前的剧集里面曾经提到过:尽量不要用两个不相关的诊断来解释病人的症状——这可是违反奥卡姆剃刀原则的。
The main character moment involved Dr. Chase, who was revealed to have been studying for the priesthood at one time. Other than that, the character moments were few and far-between. Sure, there were nunѕ,and but that was pretty much a shortcut the writers used to suggest a deeper meaning to the episode instead of actually writing a deeper meaning. On the plus side, there was at least one Sound of Music joke.
本集中最有特点的小鸭子是Chase医生,在剧中揭示了他曾经在神学院学习的事情,除此之外,其他的角色就毫无光彩了。是的,本集涉及到了修女,但是(修女)更像是编剧用来增加本集“内涵”的投机取巧而不是表述什么实际的“内涵”。略微好点的是,本集至少有一个笑话是来自《音乐之声》。
一年后重评论这集:
This episode of House, “Damned If You Do,” is a repeat of one of the early episodes from last season. My review at the time was fairly brief. I stand by it, but I thought I’d take a second look at the episode, particularly the medicine. As usual, there are some significant spoilers in the review…
今天我重新看了豪斯医生的第一季第五集《罪有应得》,上次我的评论非常的简洁,那并没有什么不好,不过我想我应该重新对这集中的医疗部分做些评论,不喜欢剧透的童鞋可以不看下面的部分。

House’s final clinic patient of the day is Sister Augustine, a nun complaining of a rash on her hands. He diagnoses her with contact dermatitis and recommends an over-the-counter antihistamine and a topical steroid cream. Shortly after taking the antihistamine, Sister Augustine develops severe wheezing. House gives her a shot of epinephrine; it restores her breathing, but unfortunately it knocks her into cardiac arrest. Epinephrine is the medical name for the hormone adrenalin. Sister Augustine is successfully resuscitated and admitted to the hospital.
