生活大爆炸 第六季:第3集:理论物理学(下)

 How can any woman spend eight hours a day alone with this face and not fall in love with it? 一个女人每天与这萌脸共处八小时怎么可能不爱上他呢？

Well, for starters,at some point, that face starts talking. 首先我要说那脸一开始讲话就什么都幻灭了。

Amy, this is crazy.You have nothing to be suspicious about.  艾米这太夸张了！你根本不用怀疑什么。

I'm not suspicious.I just want to stop in, say hi to my boyfriend and meet his new assistant. 我不是怀疑！我只是路过跟我男朋友打个招呼然后见见新助理

Can we go now?  Hang on.What are you doing? Isn't it obvious? 可以走了吗？稍等。你干什么呢？这还不明显吗？

I'm spreading my scent¹ to mark my territory.Come on, Amy. That is not gonna work. Really? 我在用体味申明领地得了吧，没用的，真的吗？

Because just before you became my best friend,I did this all over your apartment. 在你成为我闺蜜之前我也对你整间公寓做了同样的事

Do you think it's appropriate for her to sit with us, given her station? Given her what? 你觉得她跟我们一起坐合适吗？就凭她的身份。凭她的什么。

If I've learned anything from British television shows on PBS, it's that servants dine downstairs with their own kind. 要说我从PBS台的英剧里学到什么的话那就是仆人和他的同伴们都是坐楼下吃饭的

I don't know how much you know about primate¹⁰ behavior, but Sheldon's assistant was clearly courting Leonard. 我不知道你对灵长类动物行为知道多少，不过谢尔顿的助理绝对在向莱纳德求欢

Were she a mandrill, she would have bent¹¹ over and displayed her brightly colored hindquarters like a big red welcome mat. 如果她是狒狒，肯定会弯下身展示她那看似大红色蹭鞋垫的鲜亮斑斓后臀。

Okay, maybe she was flirting¹² with him, but who cares? 好吧，也许她是在和他调情，可谁在乎啊？

Look, I don't even know where my relationship is with Leonard is right now. 我都不知道我现在和莱纳德的关系算什么。

So says your prefrontal cortex. 这是你的前额叶在说话。

But meanwhile, the limbic system of your brain is calculating that if another woman is attracted to Leonard,it must be because he's desirable. 但同时，你大脑中的边缘系统在计算如果有另一个女人对莱纳德有兴趣那肯定是因为他值得拥有

Well, of course he's desirable.I mean, he's great. 他当然值得拥有了，他棒极了。

He's smart, he's sweet,and, ooh, in the bedroom, whew,let me tell you, he really tries. 他聪明温柔而且在房事上，老天我告诉你。他真是拼了老命了。

No. You know what? This is stupid. 算了这太傻了

It doesn't bother me. Okay, it bothers me. 我才不烦呢，好吧，我很烦。

But only because she wouldn't stop laughing.Leonard is not that funny. 但只是因为她很捧场他的笑话.莱纳德没那么幽默搞笑

And there you have it; prefrontal cortex reasoning versus¹³ limbic lust¹⁴. 这就是了前额叶理性对抗边缘系统的欲望

If this were a boxing match, they might call it "The thrilla adjacent to the amygdala." 如果这是拳击赛  就会叫做"扁桃体的震颤"

If you were a brain scientist, you would be busting¹⁵ a gut¹⁶ right now! 如果你是脑部学家你现在肯定会笑到尿裤子！

So, how was work today?Ah, it was all right, I guess. 今天工作怎么样？还行吧。

Got to Heimlich a cherry stem out of Sheldon. 用海氏急救法拯救樱桃梗卡气管的谢尔顿

Caught Raj right in the eye. You're kidding. 结果那梗还喷到拉杰的眼睛，真的假的

Behold¹⁸."Magnet What Do They Stick To?" 请看磁铁，它们吸的是什么。

If the answer is "Metal," It's not exactly groundbreaking. 如果答案是金属  那可能不够开创性

The original title was "A Rederivation of Maxwell's Equations Regarding Electromagnetism." 原来的名字是"再推导马克斯韦尔的电磁学方程式"

I dumbed it down because some of the more religious people in town were starting to say I was a witch. 我弃用了那个名字因为当时我家乡有些信教的人开始说我是个巫婆

Sheldon thinks the approach in this paper might change the way we calculate ferromagnetic¹⁹ hysteresis. 谢尔顿认为这篇论文里的算法可能会改变我们计算磁滞的方法
