 　　生活大爆炸第一季第十二集_1：The Jerusalem Duality

　　-Sheldon：Here's the problem with teleportation.

　　我给你讲讲隐形传物的问题吧。

　　-Leonard：Lay it on me.

　　讲吧。

　　-Sheldon：Assuming a device could be invented

　　假设可以发明一种仪器，

　　Which would identify the quantum state of matter of an individual in one location

　　在一个地方把一个个体的量子态识别确认后，

　　And transmit that pattern to a distant location for reassembly,

　　把排列模式传送到另一地方重新组装，

　　You would not have actually transported the individual.

　　你实际上并没真把该个体传送走，

　　You would have destroyed him in one location and recreated him in another.

　　而是在一个地方将他摧毁再在另一个地方重新做出一个他。

　　-Leonard：How about that？

　　那又如何？

　　-Sheldon：Personally, I would never use a transporter,

　　我本人永远不会使用传送机，

　　Because the original Sheldon would have to be disintegrated¹ in order to create a new Sheldon.

　　因为原来的Sheldon必须被分解,才能再做出一个新的Sheldon。

　　-Leonard：Would the new Sheldon be in any way an improvement on the old Sheldon?

　　那新的Sheldon比旧的有什么改进吗？

　　-Sheldon：No, he would be exactly the same.

　　没有，他们完全一模一样。

　　-Leonard：That is a problem.

　　那才是问题所在。

　　-Sheldon：So you see it too.

　　这么说你也明白了。

　　-Gablehauser：Dr. Hofstadter. Dr. Cooper.

　　Hofstadter博士，Cooper博士。

　　-Leonard and Sheldon：Dr. Gablehauser.

　　Gablehauser博士。

　　-Gablehauser：Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Dennis Kim.

　　先生们给你们介绍下，这是Dennis Kim。

　　Dennis is a highly sought-after doctoral candidate,

　　Dennis是个抢手的博士生候选人，

　　And we're hoping to have him do his graduate work here.

　　我们希望他在我校进行他的研究工作。

　　-Leonard：Graduate work. Very impressive.

　　研究工作，佩服佩服。

　　-Gablehauser：And he's only 15 years old.

　　而且他才只有15岁。

　　-Sheldon：Not bad-- I, myself, started graduate school at 14.

　　不错啊，我本人是14岁读的研究生院。

　　-Dennis：Well, I lost a year while my family was tunneling out of North Korea.

　　当我家人在挖地道逃出朝鲜时，我浪费了一年的时间。

　　-Leonard：Advantage Kim.

　　Kim领先。

　　-Gablehauser：I thought maybe you boys could show Dennis around.

　　我希望你们能带Kim四处参观一下。

　　Let him see why we're the best physics research facility in the country.

　　让他看看咱们为什么是全国最好的物理研究机构。

　　-Dennis：I already know you're not.

　　我已经知道你们不是了。

　　You don't have an Open Science Grid² computer or a free electron laser,

　　你们没OSG计算机或自由电子激光器 (OSG是科研使用的分布式计算基础设施)，

　　And the string theory research being done here is nothing but a dead end.

　　还有你们这的弦论研究已经走进死巷了。

　　-Sheldon：Excuse me, that is my research, and it is by no means a dead end.

　　等等，那是我的研究而且绝没有走进死巷。

　　-Dennis：Well, obviously you don't see it yet, but trust me, you will.

　　你现在显然还没意识到这点，不过相信我你会的。

　　-Gablehauser：Dennis, we've discussed this.

　　Dennis我们讨论过这问题了。

　　We're in the process of updating our equipment,

　　我们正在更新仪器设备，

　　And we welcome your input³ on our research goals,

　　我们欢迎你对我们的研究目标提出意见，

　　And we've agreed to look the other way if you want to use up to 20% of the grant money you attract to smuggle⁴ your grandfather out of Pyongyang.

　　而且如你打算用20%的研究资金用于把你爷爷偷运出平壤，我们会睁只眼闭只眼

　　We want him here, boys.

　　我们想要他留下，孩子们。

　　Make it happen.

　　靠你们了。

　　-Sheldon：Yes, sir.

　　遵命。

　　You can count on us.

　　我们会不负所托的。

　　We're on it.

　　交给我们好了。

　　What the hell do you mean, "dead end"?

　　你小子什么意思，什么叫"死巷"？

　　-Dennis：I mean, the whole landscape of false vacuums in string theory could be as large as ten to the five hundredth power.

　　我是说弦论中整个的伪真空可能高达5%到10%的能量。

　　In addition--

　　另外...

　　Ooh, look, chocolate milk.

　　喔，瞧啊，巧克力牛奶。

　　-Sheldon：I sense a disturbance⁵ in the Force.
