生活大爆炸第八季 第189期:我是没用间谍

 Would you like to play a physics car game I invented called "I Can't Spy"? 你要玩我发明的物理学车上游戏吗？名字叫"我是没用间谍"。

It's all the nail-biting tension of "I Spy" but the added fun of subatomic particles and waves outside the visible spectrum¹. 保留了"我是小间谍"紧张刺激的部分，但是加入了有趣的亚原子粒子以及可见光谱外的光波。

If it's half as much fun as "One Times Ten to the Fourth Bottles of Beer on the Wall," I'm in. 如果这游戏有"1乘10的4次方瓶啤酒在墙上"一半好玩我就玩。（99瓶啤酒在墙上也是常见车上游戏。反复唱着歌词，每次往下减一，直到墙上没了）。

I'll begin. Uh, I can't spy with my little eye...something passing right through us. 我先开始。小间谍我的眼睛不能看到...某个直接穿过我们的东西。

That soy Frappuccino I had. 我刚才喝的豆奶星冰乐。

Will you please play the game? I can't spy with my little eye something passing right through us. -I don't know, um... 还能不能好好玩游戏了？小间谍我的眼睛不能看到...某个直接穿过我们的东西。-我不知道啊...

If 65 billion solar neutrinos pass through a square centimeter every second, given the surface area of this car is about 60,000 square centimeters, 如果每秒有650亿太阳中微子通过每平方厘米的区域按照我们这车的表面积来算，也就大概6万平方厘米吧。

that means 3.9 times ten to the 15th solar neutrinos? 所以通过的太阳中微子大概有3900兆那么多吗？

I don't want to play anymore. 我不想玩了。

We haven't been on a road trip in a while. This is fun. 我们好久没有一起自驾游了。还挺好玩的。

We get it, you won the game. Stop bragging². 知道。你赢了行了吧。不用这么臭显摆吧。

No, listen, we wrote a paper together. Now we get to go to a university and talk about it? That's pretty cool. 不是啦，我们一起写了篇论文，现在还要一起去大学做论文的演讲？这蛮酷的不是吗。

I suppose it is. In fact, if you'd like to celebrate with a little music, I'd be okay with that. 我想是吧。其实，如果你想要放点音乐来庆祝一下，我不会介意哦。

What...? This road trip just got crazy. 虾米？这趟自驾游要疯狂啦。

Play that funky³ music, white boy. 放那放克乐吧，白人男孩。（野樱桃乐团的歌曲《Play that funky music》，此句台词也是这首歌的歌词）

I'm surprised you know that reference. 我真没想到你知道这个典故。
