生活大爆炸第八季 第133期:天籁之音

 Sheldon, I want you to take that cap off. 谢尔顿，我要你把那帽子摘了。

That nagging¹ tone is helping² my anxiety, yeah. But if you could maybe just go ten percent less shrill³, that'd really put the zip-a-dee in my doo-dah. 你这唠叨的语气有助于增长焦虑。如果你的高音调能降低百分之十的话，那你真是我的天籁之音了。（《Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah》：1946迪士尼动画《南方之歌》主题曲。）

I'm sorry, but you know we agreed not to bring work to date night. 抱歉，但你知道约会夜是不应该工作的。

There you go, perfect. 这就对了，完美。

Sheldon, stop it, I'm not kidding. Take the cap off, and put the notebook away. 谢尔顿，住手，我不是在开玩笑。把帽子摘了，笔记本拿开。

But after months of struggling, I'm finally making progress. 可我辛苦了几个月，终于开始有点突破。

You don't need to drive yourself crazy in order to be productive. 你没有必要为了工作逼疯自己啊。

Or do I, hmm? Sir Isaac Newton wrote his Principia while convinced he was an armadillo. 没必要吗？艾萨克·牛顿爵士在相信自己是犰狳时才写出了《自然哲学的数学原理》。

That's not true. 没这回事。

Yeah, well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I have been hallucinating lately. 好吧，也许是，也许不是。我最近开始有幻觉了。

Sheldon, this has to stop. You need to get some sleep and take care of yourself. 谢尔顿，你必须停下来了。你得去睡觉，照顾好自己的身体。

Amy, I have gotten more done in the last few days than I have since I made the switch to dark matter. What if I stop doing this, and it all goes away? 艾米，我这几天的收获比我开始研究暗物质以来全部加起来都多。万一我不继续下去 思路都不见了呢？

Your thoughts and ideas come from you, not from your anxiety. 你的思路和想法来自于你，而非你的焦虑。

Hmm, perhaps. But I'm not taking the cap off. 也许吧。但我不会摘掉帽子的。

It's one thing to make yourself miserable⁴, but you're making everyone around you miserable, too. Now, I'm telling you for the last time: take the cap off. 你折磨你自己是一回事，但你让周围的人也都很痛苦。我最后再跟你说一遍：把帽子摘掉。

Oh. Really? What if I don't? And before you answer that, can I have my dessert? 是吗？我要是不摘呢？在你回答问题之前，能把我的甜点上了吗？

And then she threw me out. Me, her very own boyfriend.  然后她就把我赶出去了。我，可是她的亲男朋友啊。

When all I've done is try to help humanity reach a more profound understanding of the world we live in. 我所做的一切都是在帮助人类对我们生活的世界有更深刻的理解。

Yeah, well, women. What are you gonna do? 这就是女人嘛，你拿她们有什么办法？

I knew you'd understand, Armadillo Isaac Newton. 我就知道你能理解，艾萨克·牛顿犰狳。
