生活大爆炸第七季:第4集:莱纳德的奇葩妈(下)

 You ready to go? 准备好了吗?

Yep. Hey, and maybe this time you don't try and talk sports with the guys. 好了，也许这次，你就别试着和我的朋友聊体育运动了

Some sports bar. It's like they never even heard of Quidditch. 不就是运动酒吧嘛，好像他们从来没听说过魁地奇（《哈利·波特》系列中重要的空中团队对抗运动）

Do we really have to go? 我们真非得去吗?

Oh, come on. Every time we're about to hang out with my friends, you don't want to. 拜托，每次我们准备和我的朋友聚聚时，你都不愿意

It's like, "It's too loud," or "the bathroom's too dirty," or "they put a chicken wing in my ear..." I mean...  总是嚷嚷， "实在太吵啦"，"卫生间太脏啦" 要不就是，"他们把鸡翅放我耳朵里啦"之类的，

Well, you're-you're right. Let's just go. 好吧，你说的对，我们走吧

Hey, what's going on with you? Nothing, I'm fine. 你到底怎么了?没事，我没事

All right, hang on. is this still about your mom's book? 等下，还是因为你妈妈的书?

No. Not everything is about my mom. 不不，不是什么事都跟我妈有关

'Cause if you're still upset about that, we don't have to go. Except this is totally about my mom. 如果你还对这事不高兴，我们不一定要去啊。但这次还真得怪我妈

I'm so sorry. I never should have read that book. 我很抱歉，我真不该看那本书的

You know what? You want to just get dinner and watch the game here? 要不这样?你想不想去吃晚饭，然后在这看比赛?

That sounds nice. Okay. 听起来不错， 好呢

Or, you know, we could get take-out and watch the Blu-ray extended version of The Hobbit movie with commentary track. 或者，我们可以叫外卖，然后看带评论音轨的蓝光扩增版《哈比人历险记》

On account of how sad I am about my mom. 因为我对我妈的事好难过

Leonard, you ready for lunch? One sec! 莱纳德准备吃午饭了不?等下!

Hey. Sorry. Hi, Penny. Hi. All right, sweetie. You hang in there today. 抱歉，你好，佩妮，好呀，好了，亲爱的，你今天再坚持一下

I'll try, but I might be sad again tonight. Okay. 我会尽力的，但今晚心情可能又会忧郁。好

Wow! Sex at work?! 喂喂!工作时间做爱?!

Leave it alone. That's my girlfriend. Sorry. Who just had sex with me at work! 多大点事，那是我女朋友。你说得对。瞧瞧刚刚谁跟我工作时间做爱了!

Well, whenever I talk about how awful my mom was, Penny will do anything to make me feel better. 每次我说到我妈对我多不好，佩妮就愿意做任何事来弥补我

Hello, Sheldon. Is everything okay? Yes. Why? 你好，谢尔顿，一切可好?好呀，为什么这么问?

Oh, look at little Laura Ingalls, eating that peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter?! 看小劳拉英格尔在吃花生酱三明治呢。花生酱?!

You're trying to get back at me for what I said about Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's silly. 我之前说《夺宝奇兵》的"坏话" 你这是在报复。荒唐
