生活大爆炸 第十季:第4集:同居实验(上)

 There was water everywhere. 家里到处都是水

It was such a mess. 一片狼藉

That stinks¹. How long are you out of the apartment? 而且简直臭死了你要出来住多久?

About five weeks. 大概得五个星期

Ugh! Did you lose anything valuable? 唉...有没有什么值钱的东西被泡了?

Well, the pipe was over my closet,so all my clothes are gone. 水管就在衣柜上面所以我的衣服全都毁了

Oh, so nothing. Great. 所以什么损失都没有

Do they know why the pipe burst? 他们有没有说为什么水管爆了?

They didn't say. 没有

Buildings that have a combination of copper² and galvanized steel are susceptible³ to pinholes and corrosion⁴ caused by the mobility⁵ of ions in the water. 水中离子的移动性会导致水管壁中出现气泡和腐蚀现象这些现象会危害建筑中镀锌结构和铜结构的坚固性

Can't have your head shoved in a toilet as much as I did and not pick up a few things about plumbing⁶. 你要是总被人把头按进马桶里你也知道这些管道方面的知识

Well, if you need a place to crash, you can stay with us. 你要是没地方住的话就来我们这里吧

Really?  Of course. 真的?  是啊

You can stay in Leonard's room, and we'll stay at my place. 你可以住Lenard的房间 Lenard过来和我住

You're sure that's not an inconvenience? 会不会太麻烦你们了?

No, not at all. 一点也不麻烦

And we live with Sheldon, so the word "inconvenience" has really lost all meaning. 反正我们和Sheldon合住这世界上还有什么事算得上"麻烦"

So, technically⁷, I'd be moving in with my boyfriend? I guess so. 那么理论上说我要和我男朋友同居了? 差不多吧

I'd finally get to live alone with my husband. 我也终于能单独和我老公住了

Oh, my, this is a big step. Mmhmm. 天了噜这可不是小事。是啊

For two of us, it's in the right direction. 我们居然要正常生活了

Why are you all smiling like crazy people? 你们为什么都笑的这么变态?

Our whole universe was in a hot, dense⁸ state 宇宙一度又烫又稠密

Then nearly 14 billion years ago expansion started... Wait! 140亿年前终于爆了炸等着瞧!

The Earth began to cool 地球开始降温

The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools 自养生物来起哄穴居人发明工具

We built the Wall We built the pyramids 我们建长城我们建金字塔

Math, Science, History, unraveling the mystery 数学自然科学历史揭开神秘

That all started with a big bang 一切由大爆炸开始

Cohabitation with my girlfriend? 和女朋友同居?

That's a great deal to process. 这件事有点复杂啊

It's only for five weeks. 就五个星期而已

Yeah, and we'll be right across the hall. 是啊而且我们就在对面

What do you think? I don't know. 你觉得怎么样?我怎么知道

What if living together kills the romance? 要是距离太近产生不了美怎么办?

Okay, you guys had sex one whole time. 得了吧你俩就睡过一次

Nothing can put out a fire like that. 那种激情一时半会不会消失的

Yeah, but what happens when we each get a peek⁹ behind the curtain? 是啊可是我们都会看到更多对方的隐私吧?

I mean, she's never even seen me unshaven. 比如说她就没见过我不刮胡子的样子

You're good for three months. 后面三个月都不用再刮了

Sheldon, I understand your apprehension,but let me appeal to the scientist in you. Sheldon我理解你的担心让我用科学理论来说服你

Given the fiveweek end date,isn't it the perfect opportunity to consider this an experiment and collect data on our compatibility? 既然我们只有五周的期限不如刚好把这看作是一个实验用来收集有关我们兼容性的数据

Don't try luring¹⁰ me in with sexy talk.Okay. 别想用这种甜言蜜语诱惑我。好啵

The Original Series. "星际迷航初代"里

The Enterprise was on a fiveyear mission to explore new worlds. 企业号有一个探索新世界的任务就是为期五年的

Think of this as your personal fiveweek mission to do the same. 你就把同居当做是你自己的探索新世界任务为期五周

If you want to lure¹¹ me in with sexy talk, that's how you do it. 你看这种甜言蜜语才能吸引到我

Don't be proud of that. 你难道要我也夸你吗

So, is that a yes? Not yet. I... 所以你同意啦?也不是我...

How will I learn if I'm comfortable living with Amy 如果我觉得舒服的话我怎么知道是因为Amy和我住

or just comfortable because I'm in my own apartment? 还是仅仅因为我住在自己的公寓里?

Now, if this experiment is going to be valid,I suggest a neutral environment. 所以要想保证这项实验有效的话，我认为应该选择一个中性的环境

Well, where would you go? 那你想去哪?

Well, ideally, an enclosed,selfsustaining biodome in New Mexico. 理想状态下应该是一个封闭自给自足的位于墨西哥的生态环境

Where we would eat crops fertilized¹² with our own waste. 我们的排泄物可以作为肥料培育可食用的农作物

And you were worried about the romance. Wait. 都这样了你还担心同居无美感的问题。等下

Why don't you guys stay across the hall, and we will live here?Interesting. 不如你们去对面住我们住在这边。有点意思

If my official residence were across the hall, 如果我的府邸是对面那个房间的话

I wonder if I'd need to knock every time I came over here. 那我每次过来这边的时候还用敲门吗?

That's a good question. 这个问题好

Maybe just don't come over. 不如你就不要过来了

Historically, I don't do well with change. 根据历史来看我很难接受改变

Okay, it won't be that bad. 没事不会那么糟的

We wouldn't even sit in your spot while you're gone. 你不在的时候我们不会坐在你的位子的

You're darn right, you wouldn't. 你敢坐才怪

No matter where I am, this will always be my spot. 不管我在哪里这个位子永远都是我的

Like an embassy in a foreign country,this seat is the sovereign soil of my bottom. 就像是位于国外的大使馆这个位子的主权属于我的屁股

Just nod and smile. He's almost gone. 点头微笑就好他马上就要走了

The doctor's gone for the day, so it doesn't matter. 医生下班了也无所谓了

Well, somebody else knows because they saw it in the folder¹⁵. 有些人知道因为他在文件夹里看到了

You know, I'm very proud of you for trying to live with Amy. 你能试着和Amy一起住我感到很骄傲

Oh. Thank you.  Mm. 哦谢谢你  没事

Of course, the ideal way to conduct this experiment would be with four pairs of identical Sheldons and Amys. 当然进行这个实验最理想的方式就是有四对完全相同的Sheldon和Amy样本

One pair that was neither dating nor living together. 一对既不在约会也没有同居

One pair that was dating but not living together. 一对正在约会但没有同居

One pair that was living together but not dating. 一对同居但没有在约会

And then, of course, one pair that was living together and dating. 当然还要有一对既同居又在约会的

Although, with that many Sheldons,it'd be such a party, we'd never get anything done. 要是真有有这么多Sheldon的话肯定会是一个大派对我们什么都做不了

That was a cute story.So, um... 这个故事挺好玩。所以嗯...

So why don't we take being physical off the table and maybe later on,once we're more settled in, we can revisit it. 那不如我们先不谈这类肢体接触说不定过段时间等到我们逐渐适应以后我们再重温旧梦
