That's where I fell in love with astronomy,and now I'm an astrophysicist at Caltech, so I guess you could say, uh, 我就是在那里爱上了天文学我现在是任职于加州理工的天体物理学家所以也可以这么说...

I did shoot one last week, in honor of Black History Month, 上周我曾拍摄了"黑人历史月"纪念集

but I was informed by my roommate that my spoton portrayal¹ of George Washington Carver could be considered "wildly racist²." 但后来受到我室友的提点我在节目中对乔治·华盛顿·卡弗的精湛描述（乔治·华盛顿·卡弗， 黑人， 美国教育家， 植物学家农业化学家， 对美国农业有巨大贡献）会有人觉得带有"严重种族歧视"

My heart goes out to the members  of the AfricanAmerican community,who, like me, have been kept down by The Man. 我的心一直与所有的非裔美国人群体同在我们都是受所谓"高层"压迫的苦命人
