　　-Leonard：You told her I lied? Why would you tell her I lied?

　　你告诉她我撒谎了? 你为什么要告诉她?

　　-Sheldon：To help you.

　　为了帮你。

　　-Leonard：I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the help.

　　对不起我没觉得你帮上什么了。

　　-Sheldon：She was going to see through your lie eventually, so I told her that you were lying to protect me.

　　她最终会看穿你的谎言，所以我告诉她你撒谎了来保护我自己。

　　-Leonard：Ohh... I'm getting a bad feeling.

　　哦... 我感觉很不好。

　　-Sheldon：Hunger? Indigestion? I'm sorry; I'm really not very good at this.

　　你饿了?消化不良?对不起我真的对这种事不在行。

　　Anyway, Penny now believes that, on Friday night, we're going to participate in my cousin Leopold's drug intervention¹.

　　不管怎么说，Penny现在相信星期五晚上我们要去参加我堂兄Leopold的药物干预治疗。

　　-Leonard：Your cousin Leopold.

　　你的堂兄Leopold。

　　-Sheldon：Who most people call Leo, but he also answers to Lee. Remember that. It's important.

　　大家都叫他Leo 但是叫他Lee他也答应，记住这一点这很重要。

　　-Leonard：What's important?

　　有什么很重要的?

　　-Sheldon：Details, Leonard-- the success or failure of our deceitful enterprise turns on details.

　　细节Leonard--细节决定成败，我们欺骗事件的成败都取决于细节。

　　-Leonard：Do you have a cousin Leopold?

　　你有个堂兄叫Leopold的?

　　-Sheldon：No. I made him up. I think you'd call him Lee.

　　没有，我编的我想你应该叫他 Lee。

　　-Leonard：I don't get it. I already told her a lie. Why replace it with a different lie?

　　我不明白，我已经跟她说谎了，为什么要用另一个谎来代替呢?

　　-Sheldon：Well, first of all, your lie was laughably transparent², where mine is exquisitely³ convoluted⁴. While you were sleeping, I was weaving an un-unravelable web.

　　呃首先，你那个谎撒的太明显了，而我的谎则掩饰得很深，你睡觉的时候我在构思一个拆不穿的谎言。

　　-Leonard：Un-unravelable?

　　拆不穿?

　　-Sheldon：Yes. If she Googles "Leopold Houston," she'll find a Facebook page, an online blog depicting⁵ his descent into drug use and a desperate yet hopeful listing on eHarmony.com.

　　是的，如果他搜索 "Leopold Houston" 她会找到一个Facebook的页面---在线博客描述他对毒品的深陷以及在eHarmony.com(交友网站)上找到一个令人绝望却又有希望的列表。

　　-Leonard：Okay, why would I go to a drug intervention for your cousin?

　　好吧，为什么我要去参加你堂兄的药物干预治疗？

　　-Sheldon：Ah! Because it's in Long Beach, and I don't drive.

　　啊! 因为是在长滩 (洛杉矶) 我不会开车。

　　-Leonard：We're going to Long Beach?

　　我们要去长滩?

　　-Sheldon：No, of course not. There's no cousin Leo. There's no intervention. Focus, Leonard.

　　不，当然不去，没有Leo这个人也没有什么药物干预治疗。集中点精神 Leonard。

　　-Leonard：Aw, come on.

　　哦算了吧。

　　-Sheldon：We just leave the house on Friday night and we return in the wee hours, emotionally wrung⁶ out, from the work of convincing Leo to go back into rehab.

　　我们只要星期五晚上出去第二天一早回来就行了，为了说服Leo回戒毒所而疲惫不堪。

　　-Leonard：He goes back into rehab?

　　他回去戒毒所?

　　-Sheldon：Yes, but, he can relapse if Penny ever invites us to hear her sing again.

　　是的，如果Penny又邀请我们去听她唱歌，他可以出来旧病复发。

　　-Leonard：You still told her I lied.

　　可你还是跟她说我撒谎了。

　　-Sheldon：For a noble purpose-- to spare me the social embarrassment⁷ of having a drug-addled first cousin-- which I'm assuming is embarrassing, yes?

　　因为一个高尚的目的--把难堪的处境留给自己-- 装作有一个嗜毒为命的堂兄，至少我认为这很难堪，难道不是吗?

　　-Leonard：How am I supposed to remember all of this?

　　这么多我怎么记得住?

　　-Sheldon：Oh, that's the best part. You don't have to. See, I told Penny that you would be embarrassed if you knew that she found out that you had lied, so she's agreed to operate as if the original lie is still in force.

　　这是最精彩的部分你不需要记，听着我告诉Penny如果你知道她发现你撒了谎你会尴尬的，

　　所以她同意表现得仍被蒙在鼓里。

　　-Leonard：So she's expecting me to lie about going to a symposium⁸ in Pasadena, when, in actuality, we're pretending to go to a drug intervention in Long Beach.

　　那么她以为我会继续跟她撒谎说我们要去帕萨迪纳 (洛杉矶城市)参加讨论会，但是 "事实是" 我们要假装去长滩参加药物干预治疗。

　　-Sheldon：Un-unravelable.

　　拆不穿的谎言。

　　-Leonard：Oh, hey, Penny. Wow, look at you, all ready for your showcase. You look great.

　　嘿 Penny 哇哦，看看你完全准备好上台了，你看起来光彩照人。

　　-Penny：Thanks. I just wanted to come by and wish you guys luck with your... symposium.

　　谢谢，我只是顺路祝你们...讨论会顺利。

　　-Leonard：Oh. Well, thank you.

　　谢谢。

　　-Penny：You know, I got to tell you, a lot of friends would let their friend go alone, but that's not who you are.

　　我不得不说很多人都让自己的朋友落单，但你们不是那样的人，

　　You are the kind of guy who stands by a friend when... when he has a symposium to go to.

　　你们是那种会守在朋友身边当...当他要去参加一个讨论会。

　　不不用解释了，这是你们的千年鹰号宇宙飞船 (见"星球大战")，你和Chewbacca爱干什么干什么吧。(Chewbacca是"星球大战"中的角色)，我跟Leia公主今天晚上自己找乐子去。

　　Howard 等等等等，Sheldon 我想我们应该坦白。

　　-Sheldon：Okay, sure. I don't see a problem with that.

　　好的，当然，我觉得没问题。
