你喝的不是酸奶，因为没有足够的乳酸菌，
It's really just ice milk with carrageenan added for thickness.
carrageenan: 卡拉胶 thickness: 厚度
其实不过是用卡拉胶加稠的冻牛奶罢了。
-Penny: Oh, that's very interesting.
真有趣啊。
-Leonard: It's also not pink and has no berries.

不仅颜色不对，也没有果肉。
-Penny: Yeah, but it doesn't really answer my question.
是，但你并没有正面回答我的问题。
-Leonard: What was your question again?
你问的啥?
-Penny: Do you want some?
来点不?
-Leonard: Oh... Right. No. I'm lactose intolerant. Right. So, gas.

figure out: 算出，想出，理解
恩，好的，明白那我们不如想下接下来如何以及要用多久才可以到达。
And then rate of speed equals distance over time. Solve for R.

通过路程和时间计算出我们的速度。解决了。
-Penny: Or we could just wing it.
wing: [美国俚语]临时准备；临时凑成
或者我们走一步看一步呢。
-Leonard: That might work, too.
这样应该也行。
-Penny: Good night, Leonard.
晚安，Leonard。
-Leonard: Good night.
晚安。
-Raj: He's coming-- screensaver!
screensaver: 屏幕保护动画

bite me : 去死了你（过来打我吧） spy: 暗中监视，暗中观察
关你鸟事。你怎么能坐在那里放纵他们窥视我呢?
-Sheldon: They were clever, Leonard. They exploited my complete lack of interest

in what you were doing.

他们聪明啊，Leonard。竟然发现了我对你的鸟事完全没兴趣。
-Howard: You should thank us. When future generations try to determine why your relationship with Penny crashed and burned this right here is the black box.
generation: 后代 determine: 决定，确定 crash and burn: 彻底失败;累垮
你应该感谢我们的，当后代们想要搞清楚你和Penny从相恋到失恋是怎么个过程时，这可就是"黑匣子"啊。

你在说什么啊? 约会进行得很顺利
-Raj: Dude, she said she wants to slow things down.
伙计，她可说了她想慢下来。

不，她是想说“这些臭鱼真难吃。我可得慢下来，吐个干净。”
-Raj: You being the fish.
你就是那鱼。
-Leonard: I'm not the fish.

好吧，我们就按照你们的假说来设想，我们一起去吃晚饭，开心地聊天还接吻了。
Where could I have possibly gone wrong?

我能有哪里做得不对啊?
-Howard: Think back, Leonard. The littlest things can set women off. Like, "Hey, the
waitress is hot;

再想想Leonard，最小的细节也能触动女人的，就像 "看这个服务员真辣阿
I bet we could get her to come home with us."

我敢说咱们可以带上她一起回家。"
Or, "How much does your mom weigh? I want to know what I'm getting into."

-Leonard: I didn't say anything like that.
我可没有这么说。
-Howard: Good, 'cause they don't work.

好的，因为这些话一点用都没有。
-Raj: They also don't care for it. If you stare at them and hyperventilate. Sadly, that's my
home run swing.
stare at: 凝视 hyperventilate: 换气过度;强力呼吸
如果你死盯着她们大喘粗气也会

令她们讨厌的，很遗憾我们全家都这个德行。
-Leonard: Look, everything went fine. I didn't even have to refer to my impromptu conversation starters. That woman across the hall is into me.
refer to: 涉及 impromptu: 即席的,即兴的 conversation: 对话 be into: 喜欢，被迷住
嘿！一切都很顺利的，我甚至都没有用上我的即兴开场白，走廊对面那个女孩子看上我了！
-Howard: Let's go to the tape. Look at her reaction to the good night kiss.
reaction: 反应
我们还是看录像算了，瞧她对那个"我和你吻别在无人的夜" 的反应吧，
No change in respiration, pupils un-dilated, no flushing of the chest.
respiration: 呼吸 pupil: 瞳孔 dilated: 加宽的, 扩大的 flush: 流溢,面红,旺盛

-Sheldon: Interesting. Her jaws are clenched, no tongue access. Clearly a bad sign amongst mating humans.
jaw: 咽喉 clench: 牢牢抓住,钉紧 tongue: 舌头 access: 进入 mating: 交配
有趣啊，她咬紧牙关写着"打死我舌头也不让进"，对交配期的人类来说无疑是个坏兆头。
-Leonard: That's not a bad sign.
才不是你说的那样。
-Sheldon: Please, you might as well have been two iguanas with no dewlap enlargement.
iguana: 美洲大蜥蜴 dewlap: 垂肉 enlargement: 扩大
得了吧，你俩还不如当两只没有双下巴的大蜥蜴算了。
-Raj: And the worst sign of all is you're here and not there.
最糟糕的是，你现在在这里，而不是"那里。"
-Leonard: I'm not there. Because I'm taking things slow, which, by the way, compared to you guys, approaches warp speed. And take down that camera.
Compare to: 对比 approach: 途径,方法 warp: 弯,歪曲
我不在"那里。"因为我想慢慢来。不过话说回来，对你们来说，这已经是飞速了。拜托把那个摄像头拆了！
-Raj: He was a lot more fun when he had no hope.
他绝望的时候好玩多了。
-Howard: Give him time.
给他点时间吧。
-Penny: Hi.
嗨。
-Sheldon: Oh, hi, Penny. FYI, the hot water is inadequate on machine two so colors only,
inadequate: 不够的
嗨！Penny。顺便提醒一下二号机热水不够，只能洗带颜色的，
and four is still releasing the fabric softener too early in the cycle, so I'd avoid using that for your delicates.
release: 释放 fabric: 织物,布,结构 softener: 软化剂,柔软剂 avoid: 避免 delicate: 雅致的，精致的
还有四号机仍然会提前流出柔顺剂，所以你那些好衣服就别用这一台洗了。
-Penny: Thanks.
谢谢。
-Sheldon: Oh, good Lord...why don't you just take your clothes down to the river and beat them with a rock?
上帝啊，为什么你不直接把衣服脱掉，用河里的石头"敲"干净。
-Penny: Sheldon, can I ask you a question?
Sheldon，能问你个事吗?
-S

heldon: I would prefer that you not, but I won't go so far as to forbid it.
forbid: 禁止,不准
我宁愿你不问，但是我不会阻止你的。
-Penny: All right, I heard yes, so...Okay, here’s my question. Has Leonard ever dated, you know, a regular girl?
regular: 正规的
好吧，那你是答应了；好的，我的问题是：Leonard是否曾经和一个正常的女孩约会过呢?
-Sheldon: Well, I assume you're not referring to digestive regularity. Because I've come to learn that such inquiries are inappropriate.
refer to: 涉及 digestive: 消化的 regularity: 有规则,匀整,调和 inquiry: 打听,询问 inappropriate: 不适当的
我想你不是指"消化正常"吧? 因为我觉得这样问不太合适。
-Penny: No, I meant, has he ever been involved with someone who wasn't a brainiac?
involve with: 涉及 brainiac: 异常聪明的人
不，没有。我是说他有没有和一个不是"大脑发达"的女孩交往过?
-Sheldon: Oh! Well, a few years ago, he did go out with a woman who had a PhD in French literature.
PhD=Doctor of Philosophy
几年之前他倒是和一个法国文学女博士约会过。
-Penny: How is that not a brainiac?
那怎么能叫做"非大脑发达"？
-Sheldon: Well, for one thing, she was French. For another, it was literature.
for one thing, for another: 首先，其次 literature: 文学
第一个原因，她是法国人；第二个原因，文学诶。
-Penny: So... do you think that if Leonard and I keep dating, he'll eventually get bored with me?
eventually: 最后
那么...你觉得如果Leonard和我继续约会，最终他会对我失去兴趣吗?
-Sheldon: That depends.
那得看情况了。
-Penny: On what?
看什么?
-Sheldon: Do you have a working knowledge of quantum physics?
knowledge: 知识 quantum: 分配量,额,量 physics: 物理
你具备量子物理的知识吗?

好吧，我知道了。
Leonard has no business being involved with a waitress-slash-actress who felt so insecure that she lied to him about finishing community college.
slash: 斜线 insecure: 不安全的 community: 社区
Leonard和一个骗他说是社区大学毕业的，自我感觉不良好的服务员/演员没有任何共同点。
-Sheldon: Why would you lie about that?
这你干吗要撒谎啊？
-Penny: Well, he was going on and on about this college and that grad school, and I... I didn't want him to think I was some kind of stupid loser.
grad school:研究生院，研究所
他不停地说这个大学，那个研究生院而我... 我不想他把我看作一个失败的笨蛋。
-Sheldon: You thought the opposite of "stupid loser" was "community college graduate"?
opposite: 反面的
你认为"失败的笨蛋"的

反义词是，社区大学毕业?
-Penny: You know, there are a lot of successful people in this country who are community college graduates.
我们国家有好多成功人士，都是社区大学毕业的。
-Sheldon: Yeah, but you are neither.
是啊，但你以上皆不是啊。
-Penny: Right. Okay, look, this is between you and me. You cannot tell Leonard any of this.
好吧，这次谈话你知我知，你千万不能跟Leonard说。
-Sheldon: You're asking me to keep a secret?
你在让我帮你保守秘密?
-Penny: Yeah.
是啊。
-Sheldon: Well, I'm sorry, but you would have had to express that desire before revealing the secret,
desire: 愿望,欲望 reveal: 显示,透露
我很抱歉，但... 但是你应该先说清楚啊。
so that I could choose whether or not I wanted to accept the covenant of secret keeping.
covenant: 盟约,契约
好让我决定是听还是不听再来答应你啊；
You can't impose a secret on an ex post facto basis.
impose: 强加 ex post facto: 事后地, 追溯地
你不能事后再告诉人家这是秘密啊。

about what one says, but about facial expressions, autonomic reflexes.
complicated: 复杂的 endeavor: 努力,尽力 facial expression: 面部表情 facial: 面部的 autonomic: 自治的,自律的 reflex: 反射
保密是个复杂的过程，保密的人不仅要注意自己的言辞，还要注意面部表情，下意识的反应。

如果Leonard发现我撒谎了，我会因尴尬而死的。
-Sheldon: Physiologically impossible.
physiologically: 生理上
从生理上说，不可能的事情。
-Penny: Oh, Sheldon, please. Look, I am asking you as a friend.
Sheldon 拜托了，我是在向你请求朋友的帮助。
-Sheldon: So you're saying that friendship contains within it an inherent obligation to maintain confidences?
inherent: 内在的,固有的 obligation: 义务
那么你是说朋友之间就应该为彼此保密?
-Penny: Well, yeah.
对啊。
-Sheldon: Interesting. One more question, a

nd perhaps I should have led with this. When did we become friends?
真有意思。还有一个问题，也许我应该这样问：我们啥时候成朋友了?
-Sheldon: i.e., I couldn't become Green Lantern unless I was chosen by the Guardians of Oa,
也就是说，除非被OA星的守护者选中；否则我就不会成为"绿灯侠"。
but given enough start-up capital and an adequate research facility, I could be Batman.
start-up: 启动 adequate: 足够的 research facility: 研究设备
但是拥有足够的资金和一些优良的设备，我就能当"蝙蝠侠"了。

let you know?
schedule: 时间表
我也不清楚啊，经理还没排好班呢，我会告诉你的。
-Leonard: Great. Okay. So you just let me know when you know. Okay, so... Oh, God, I am the bad fish.
你一知道就要告诉我啊。好吧，那... 天哪，我就是那"臭鱼"。
-Leonard: What did I do wrong?
我做错了什么啊?
-Sheldon: Why are you asking me? I have no information about your interactions with Penny other than what you have provided me,
interaction: 相互作用,相互影响 other than: 除了
问我干什么？我可不知道任何你和Penny的事情；除了你自己告诉我的，
nor do I have any method of learning such things.
其他的我怎么可能知道？
-Leonard: What does that mean?
那是啥意思?
-Sheldon: Nothing. You seem to be implying an informational back-channel between me and Penny where obviously none exists.
imply: 暗示 obviously: 明显地
没啥意思，你说得好象我和Penny私下里互通有无一样，可明显根本就没有！
-Leonard: No, I didn't. I just think you need to be careful how you phrase things, sir.

我可不是这么想的，我觉得你该注意自己的表达方式了，伙计。
-Leonard: What's going on with you?

你到底怎么了?

-Leonard: What?
啥?
-Penny: I said, "Good day."
我说祝你愉快。
-Leonard: Good day?
祝你愉快?

Sheldon,我在工作。
-Sheldon: Why don't you take a minute to decide?

constitutionally: 本质地,天生,体质上 incapable: 本质地,天生,体质上 prestigious: 享有声望的 fellowship: 奖学金
我天生做不到，所以之前我才申请不到那个由政府设立奖学金，
