 　　生活大爆炸第一季第十集_3：The Loobenfeld Decay

　　-Sheldon：Leonard? Leonard? Leonard?

　　-Leonard：Let it go, Sheldon.

　　饶了我吧Sheldon。

　　The murder was the first mate whether it makes sense to you or not.

　　凶手是那个大副不管你能不能理解。

　　-Sheldon：No, that's the least of our worries.

　　不，那个根本不用担心。

　　I've been doing some research on addiction²-- both the biochemical and behavioral aspects-- and I think there's a problem with the current version of our lie.

　　我对毒瘾做了些调查--- 生物化学方面和行为学方面的---我想我们现在那个谎言的版本有些问题。

　　-Leonard：What are you talking about?

　　你在说些什么呀?

　　It's fine-- she bought it; it's over.

　　好着呢-- 她相信了，都结束了。

　　-Sheldon：Sadly, it's not.

　　可悲的是没有。

　　Substance abuse is a lifelong struggle, but beyond that, I have realized that the Leo I described would not have agreed to go to rehab.

　　药物滥用是持续一生的问题，但除了那个以外我发现我所描述的那个 Leo 是不可能同意去戒毒的。

　　-Leonard：Why not?

　　为什么?

　　-Sheldon：Because Leo's a middle child.

　　因为Leo是家里的第二个孩子。

　　-Leonard：There is no Leo! How can you say that?

　　根本没有Leo这个人!你怎么能那样说?

　　-Sheldon：You didn't read the bio, did you?

　　你根本没看他的自传，是吧?

　　He's not just a middle child; he is the quintessential middle child-- from a broken home, to boot.

　　他不仅仅是排行老二他还是个典型的老二——家庭破裂到了极点。

　　Psychologically speaking, the attention he gets by rebelling, even to the point of self-destruction,is more emotionally valuable than the help he would get at rehab.

　　从心理学上来讲，他的叛逆甚至是自我毁灭所带来的关注，其情感价值也要比戒毒带给他的帮助高得多。

　　-Leonard：I've got a solution.

　　我有个办法。

　　-Sheldon：Great. What is it?

　　太好了，什么办法?

　　-Leonard：Get out!

　　滚出去!

　　-Sheldon：Fine.

　　好吧。

　　I've hesitated to point this out, but I must now remind you that we are in our current predicament

　　because of your initial and totally inadequate³ deceit. I'm just trying to clean up after your mess.

　　我本来不想说，但是我必须提醒你我们现在身处险境，都是因为你最初的不高明的谎言导致的。我只是在收拾你的烂摊子。

　　We'll talk in the morning.

　　我们早上再讨论。

　　-Boy：Morning.

　　早上好。

　　-Leonard：Who are you?

　　你是谁?

　　-Boy：I am Sheldon's cousin Leo.

　　我是Sheldon的堂兄Leo。

　　-Leonard：Oh! God! Sheldon does not have a cousin Leo.

　　哦! 天啊! Sheldon 没有什么Leo堂兄。

　　-Boy：Au contraire.

　　正相反。

　　I'm 26 years old. I'm originally from... Denton, Texas, but I was a Navy brat⁴, so I was brought up on a variety of military bases around the world.

　　我26岁，生于...德克萨斯州的丹顿市，但我是个海军士兵，所以我成长于世界各地的军事基地。

　　As a result, I've often felt like an outsider-- never really fitting in, which is probably the reason for my substance abuse problem.

　　因此一直觉得与社会格格不入-- 从来没能适应很有可能就是我药物成瘾问题的原因。

　　-Sheldon：Excuse me, we just went over this. As the quintessential middle child, your addiction is rooted in your unmet need for attention.

　　抱歉，我们刚刚谈过了，作为一个典型的排行老二，你上瘾的根源是无法满足你被关注的需求。

　　-Boy：Oh, Sheldon, are we really going to go with pop psychology⁵?

　　Sheldon 我们不会真的要讨论现代心理学吧?

　　-Sheldon：For your information, this is all based on solid research. Just stick with the character profile I wrote for you.

　　只是告诉你一下这是基于我严密的研究基础上的，你照着我给你的人物性格资料来就行。

　　-Leonard：Sheldon?

　　-Sheldon：I'm sorry. Leonard, this is Toby Loobenfeld.

　　抱歉Leonard 这是Toby Loobenfeld。

　　He's a research assistant in the particle physics lab, but he also minored⁶ in theater at MIT.

　　他是实用物理学实验室的助教，但他也在麻省理工学院辅修戏剧表演。

　　-Boy：It was more of a double major, actually. Theater and physics. You can guess which one my bourgeois⁷ parents pushed me toward.

　　其实是双学位，表演和物理，你们可以猜到我的中产阶级父母逼我学的是哪一种。

　　-Leonard：Yeah, I got it. Sheldon...why?

　　行了，我知道了，Sheldon... 怎么回事?

　　-Sheldon：You see, while Leo would not have gone into rehab, it is completely plausible⁸ that we would have talked him into leaving the motel and coming home with us.

　　你想当Leo没有同意回去戒毒的时候，最合理的就是我们劝他离开旅馆和我们一起回家。

　　-Leonard：Oh...

　　哦...

　　-Boy：Sheldon, how about this as my motivation-- when I was 14 years old, I was abused in the Philippines by a clubfooted Navy chaplain.

　　Sheldon 你觉得用这个动机怎么样-- 当我14岁的时候我在菲律宾受到一个畸形足的海军神父的虐待。

　　-Sheldon：No. We're going with middle child and a genetic⁹ predisposition to inadequate serotonin production.

　　不，要按照那个中间的孩子的说法，还有遗传性先天性5羟色胺分泌不足。

　　-Boy：well. How do I play genetic predisposition?

　　好吧，遗传性先天性缺陷要怎么演?

　　-Sheldon：Subtextually, of course. Just have fun with it.

　　当然是内在本质了，轻松点。

　　Morning, Penny.

　　早上好 Penny

　　-Penny：Hi. How did the intervention¹⁰ go?

　　嗨，干预治疗怎么样?

　　-Sheldon：Unfortunately, we weren't able to convince him to go to rehab.

　　很不幸，我们没能说服他回去继续戒毒。

　　-Penny：Oh. Well, based on what you told me, I am not surprised.

　　哦是啊，听你说的情况并不惊讶。

　　-Sheldon：But we did convince him to leave the motel. Come say hello.

　　但是我们说服他离开旅馆了。进来打个招呼吧。

　　Leo. This is Penny, our friend and neighbor.

　　Leo这是Penny 我们的朋友就住在隔壁。

　　-Penny：Hi, Leo. How are you feeling?

　　嗨 Leo感觉怎么样?

　　-Boy：Let me ask you something, Penny. Have you ever woken up in a fleabag motel covered in your own vomit¹¹, next to a transsexual prostitute?

　　让我问问你 Penny，你有没有试过在一个破烂的汽车旅馆里醒来全身都是自己的呕吐物，旁边还躺着一个变性妓女的?

　　-Penny：No.

　　没有。

　　-Boy：Then don't ask me how I'm feeling.

　　那就不要问我感觉怎么样。

　　-Leonard：Well, that's Leo. Hey, um... why don't you tell me about your showcase last night?

　　这就是Leo 嘿嗯...为什么不和我说说昨天晚上的表演呢？

　　-Penny：Oh. It was okay, I guess. It wasn't a big turnout, but they both really seemed to like it.

　　我觉得还不错，观众不多但是他们两个看起来都挺喜欢的。

　　-Leonard：There were only two people there?

　　只有两个人?

　　-Penny：By the end, yeah.

　　到最后是的。

　　-Boy：Damn you, Chaplain Harrigan!

　　操你的 Harrigan神父!

　　-Penny：I'm... I'm sorry?

　　你...你说什么?

　　-Boy：The Philippines. 1992 The Subic Bay Naval¹² Station. A young boy on the cusp of manhood.

　　菲律宾人，1992年苏比克湾海军基地有个年轻人站在人生的转折点上。

　　His only companions, mongrel dogs and malarial¹³ mosquitoes. Desperate and alone,

　　他唯一的伙伴是杂种狗和携带疟原虫的蚊子，绝望而又孤单。

　　He reached out to a man who promised to introduce him to a merciful, loving God, but who instead introduced him to a gin-pickled tongue shoved down his adolescent throat.

　　他去请求一个人的帮助，那个人本来答应把他带到慈爱的上帝身边，但反而却把他那满是酒味的舌头伸到了他稚嫩的喉咙里去。

　　What choice did he have but to drink, shoot and snort his pain away?

　　他别无选择只能靠酒精、枪支和尼古丁逃避痛苦。

　　-Sheldon：Don't forget his genetic predisposition towards addiction.

　　别忘了，他还有先天性遗传基因的上瘾倾向。

　　-Boy：That's never been proven.

　　那没有被证实。

　　-Sheldon：There have been studies.

　　但有研究。

　　-Boy：Not double-blind studies.

　　不是双盲的研究吗。

　　-Sheldon：How could there be a double-blind study? Who would be the control group?

　　怎么可能有双盲研究?谁来当认证结果?

　　-Leonard：As you can see, detoxing can get pretty ugly. Let's give them some privacy.

　　看到了吧，戒毒的过程很黑暗，给他们保留点隐私吧。

　　-Penny：Yeah. Hey, do you want to come over to my place, have coffee?

　　好啊。嘿你愿不愿意到我那儿去喝杯咖啡?

　　-Leonard：Oh, sounds good.

　　好啊。

　　-Penny：I have a video of me singing last night. Do you want to see it?

　　我有昨天唱歌的录像，想不想看?

　　-Leonard：Gee, why wouldn't I?

　　咿呀为什么不呢?

　　-Penny：This is even better than you coming to the showcase, because now I get to watch you watch me.

　　这比你来现场更好，因为现在我可以看着你看我表演了。

　　-Leonard：Yeah... Funny how things work out.

　　是啊...事情总会变得很有趣。

　　-Boy：...but he loved the companionship and the wisdom that his own father failed to provide.

　　但是他需要伙伴以及智慧引导但他的父亲没能给他。

　　-Sheldon：Your parents made the right decision.

　　你父母的决定是对的。

　　-Boy：I cannot work like this.

　　这样我没法工作!

　　-Boy：This is amazing. Just sitting on a couch watching TV with a woman. Not being drunk or, or high or wondering if you're a dude down there.

　　这太奇妙了，坐在沙发上和女孩子一起看电视，而不是醉酒、兴奋或者担心你可能是个男人。

　　-Penny：Leo, you are a very sweet, really funny guy. You're going to do okay.

　　Leo 你是个非常贴心又有趣的人，你会好起来的。
