But, that's Star Wars Day. Yeah... um... of all the things about this that are sad, that might not be number one. 但那天是星战日啊。没错...额...比起这个伤心事，星战日也许不能排在第一位吧

You okay? I know he meant a lot to you. I'm fine. Okay. 你还好吗?我知道他对你来说非常重要。我没事。好吧

This, uh, this is something interesting boys and girls. 孩子们，给你们说点有意思的事儿

After an owl⁶ eats, he spits up part of his meal, that he can't digest, in the form of a pellet. 猫头鹰进食之后，它会把无法消化的食物，像小球一样吐出来

Arthur Jeffries was a scientist. 亚瑟·杰弗里斯生前是位科学家

You know, if he were here, I think he'd say, "Enjoy Star Wars Day." 如果他在这儿，我想他会说"好好享受星战日吧"

Arthur passing away was harder on Sheldon than he's ready to admit. 其实亚瑟离世对谢尔顿打击很大，只是他自己还不愿承认这一点

Really hoping this will cheer him up. Me, too. 真心希望这个能让他开心点。希望如此

Although, it might've been thoughtless¹¹ of us to bake a Death Star cake. 不过，咱们直接烤个死星蛋糕有点没头没脑的

No, it combines two of Sheldon's favorite things: chocolate chips and the ability to destroy a planet at the push of a button. 不会啊，它结合了谢尔顿的最爱的两个元素:巧克力碎以及摁下按钮就能摧毁星球的能力

Well, anyway, it'll be a nice surprise for the boys. 不管怎样，对他们来说是个惊喜

And Howie doesn't think I take his interests seriously, so hopefully this will keep him fooled for a while. 而且华仔觉得我不把他的爱好当回事，所以希望这东西能哄他一阵吧

Okay, let's get the fondant and start decorating. 搞定，我们拿翻糖开始装饰吧

I have a confession¹³ to make. 我要坦白

I've never been to a funeral before. Really? 我还没参加过葬礼。真的吗?

I just never knew anyone that died. 认识的人都还活着

I had a pet pig when I was a kid. I mean, when he died, we didn't have a funeral, we had a barbecue. 我小时候养过宠物猪，但它死了，我们也没举行葬礼，举办了烤肉宴

I feel like I want to cry. 我有点想哭

Oh... that's-that's fine. Go ahead. 没关系。想哭就哭吧

I can't do it with you staring at me. Sorry. 你盯着我，我哭不出来。不好意思

No, I'm dry. You're a big crybaby... you start, I'll join in. 不行了，哭不出来。你是爱哭鬼，你先哭，我跟上

I am not a crybaby. Toy Story 3? The toys were holding hands in a furnace! 我不是爱哭鬼。那《玩具总动员3》怎么回事?玩具们可是在垃圾场熔炉里手拉着手啊!

Look, A-Arthur lived a full life. 亚瑟这一生圆满了

And he inspired a lot of people. 他启发了很多人

Sure, he-he was my childhood hero, but...  当然，他是我童年的偶像，但是...

the fact that I got to work with him, side by side, before he... died was... it was... it was a gift. 后来有机会与他共事，一起工作，就在他...生前...那段时光真是...天赐的礼物

It was a gift. Thank you for being the emotional one in this relationship. 是一份礼物。谢谢你，在我们的感情中做多愁善感的那一个

I got your back. Yeah. 我支持你。是呀

Okay, here we go. Episode¹⁵ I The Phantom Menace. 好了，开始。第一部，《魅影危机》

Let's get this over with. 赶紧看完得了

Since we all agree Episode I isn't our favorite, maybe we just skip it this time. 既然我们都不喜欢第一部，这次就略过不看了呗

Yeah, Howard, I think you of all people should avoid espousing¹⁶ the principle that if something is not our favorite, we should just get rid of it. 霍华德，我觉得咱们几个里面就你最不该支持这样的观点:凡不喜欢者，皆可抛

You know, I heard this way of watching the movies called the Machete Order, where you watch Episodes¹⁷ IV and V, 我听说有一种看《星球大战》的方法叫做"弯刀次序"，也就是说你先看第4-5部

then skip Episode I, watch II and III as a flashback, and then finish with VI. 跳过第1部，然后回顾看第2-3部，最后看第6部

Okay, so you'd lose most of Jar Jar, all the trade route talk, and the boring senate hearings, which are like watching C-SPAN with monsters. 好吧，那你就错过了加·加·宾克斯大部分的情节，所有贸易航路上的对话，还有无聊的参议院听证会，这就跟和怪兽一起看政治频道一样呀

Get rid of the trade route part? 不看贸易航路部分?

Then how would Palpatine get Chancellor¹⁸ Valorum kicked out of office? 那帕尔帕庭怎么会把韦洛伦议长赶下台?

How would he get himself elected? How? 他怎么会当选议长?怎么会啊?

Can we get through one holiday without you saying something ridiculous? 我们能不能好好过个假期，你就别出馊主意?

It was just a suggestion. 这只是一个建议啊

Well, you know what else was just a suggestion? 你知道还有什么"只是一个建议"不?

"Why don't we change the Raisin Bran box?" "要不我们把葡萄麦维早餐的包装换了?"

Hmm? And you know who got hurt by that? 你知道谁会因此受到伤害不?

Every single person who eats breakfast! 所有吃早餐的人!

Wow. I think he's taking this Professor Proton thing pretty hard. 哇。我觉得他对质子教授的事还没法释怀

Should we try to console¹⁹ him? 要不要安慰安慰他?

Or... should we respect his privacy²⁰ in this moment of grief²¹? 或者...我们应该在这个悲痛的时刻让他一个人静静?

By staying here and watching the movie. That's what good friends would do! 也就是说坐在这里看电影...好朋友就该这么干啊!
