She's doing okay, but we just lost another nurse. 她还好，不过又有一个护工不干了

How many is that now? 现在是多少个了?

Two, and I know what you're thinking she's eating them. 两个，我知道你在想什么，她根本是在吃人

She's just so impossible, they keep quitting. 她简直是不可理喻，护工一个接一个走了

So, who's watching her now? 那现在谁照顾她?

What up, guys? 大伙都在干嘛?

Hello. Hey. Hello. Okay. 你来啦，嗨，你来啦。好吧

Well, now that everyone's here, Penny and I have some big news. We're engaged! 既然大家都在这里，我和佩妮有个好消息要宣布。我们订婚啦!

And I thought me having sex with Emily was gonna be the big news. That's right... 我还以为我和艾米丽滚床单才算是好消息呢。太对了...

Hey! Hey! What the hell! 喂!喂!你们太过分了!

You guys propose all the time. This never happens. You're right! 你们总是在互相求婚，而这个从来没有过啊。你说得对!

Boy, I'm so hungry today. I wonder why? 我的天，我今天真饿啊。这是为什么呢?

Because you had sex the other night? 不就是因为你前几天的晚上滚床单咯?

You know what? 你知道吗?

That may be it. 估计就是这样

By the way, it isn't like riding a bike. Like, I fell off a few times. 对了，滚床单不像骑自行车，我摔下来了好几次

I just got called into President Siebert's office. 我刚被叫去西伯特校长的办公室

The university won't let me switch my field of study to inflationary cosmology. 我想研究宇宙膨胀理论，但学校不让我改研究方向

They're forcing me to continue with string theory. Why? 他们让我必须接着研究弦理论。为什么?

He said it's why they hired me, it's-it's what my grant was designated for, and that everybody has to do things they don't want to do. 他说聘我就是为了让我研究弦理论，我的科研基金也是为了干这个的，还说每个人都得做自己不想做的事情

He then gave an example of something he had to do, even though he didn't want to, which was look at my stupid face. 然后他举了个例子，说虽然他不想，但还得面对我这张蠢脸

That's a rude thing to say. Out loud. 太没礼貌了啊。这么坦白

It's an outrage². Honestly, I'm tempted³ to leave the university. 太过分了，坦白说，我不想在学校干了

You know, if you're really serious about that, I hear there are some exciting opportunities in home care for the old and fat. 如果你真的铁了心的话，我听说现在给又老又胖的人当护工是个很有前途的职业

Whatever you do, just don't make any rash decisions. I don't know. 不管你做什么，不要草率做决定。我不知道

I don't think the service is gonna send any more people. 我觉得不会有护工再过来了

Yeah, maybe it's time we just release Ma back into the sea. 或许是时候把老妈放归大海了

That's not helpful. 别扯没用的

Well, then, we may need to get used to the idea that we're gonna be living here the next few months. 那咱就得适应一下，未来几个月就得住这儿了

But we have jobs. We can't baby-sit her 24 hours a day. 但我们有自己的工作呀。我们不能一天24小时照顾她

Well, what if we use our vacation time? 要不咱们把年假用了?

I wanted to go to Hawaii, not Hell. 年假我想去的是夏威夷，不是地狱

I don't know what else we can do. 我不知道我们还能做些什么

Howie, I love you, and as your wife, your mother is every bit as much my problem as she is yours, so... I want a divorce. 华仔，我爱你，作为你的妻子，你母亲的问题就是我的问题，所以...咱离了吧

Hello, Leonard. Hi, Mom. I have some exciting news. I'm listening. 嗨，莱纳德。嗨，母亲大人。我有好消息要告诉你。我在听

Before I tell you, will you promise to try and be happy for me and keep any concerns you have to yourself? No. 在我说之前，你能不能先保证你会试着替我感到高兴然后把你的真实想法藏在心里?不行

Let me save you all of your hemming⁵ and hawing. Sheldon already told me that you and Penny are engaged. 你就不必多费口舌了，谢尔顿已经告诉我，你和佩妮订婚了

You know what? It's probably fine. 算了，其实也没事

In any event, while I've had my misgivings⁶ about... Penny...  无论如何，虽然我对佩妮还有所疑虑...

Sheldon spoke⁷ very fondly of her, and if she is good enough for him, then she's good enough for me. 但谢尔顿总是在夸她，那么如果谢尔顿觉得她还不错的话，那我也就没什么异议了

I'm your son. What about the fact that she's good enough for me? Sure. 我是你儿子。为什么你不想想我觉得她好不好呢?行

Thanks, Mom. Leonard, would it make you feel better to hear that your mother approved of your life choices? 谢谢，母亲大人。莱纳德，如果我说我同意你的人生选择你会觉得好过一点吗?

Yes, it would. Yeah. Well, you should work on that. 会呀。那你应该努努力克服这点

No, Mom, it's the same guy I've been going out with for the past two years. 不是的，妈，是我男朋友都谈了两年了

Little warning before you jump into this marriage business: You're not just marrying him, you're marrying his family. 在你一头扎进婚姻之前，给点小小的忠告：你不只是嫁给他，你是嫁给他全家

I think Leonard's mom's okay with me. 我觉得莱纳德的妈妈对我没啥意见

It doesn't matter if she's okay with you. The question is: Can she go to the bathroom by herself? 她对你有没有意见不重要，重要的是，她能不能自己上厕所?

Hit me again. 再来一杯

So, what are the living arrangements gonna be? 那么，你们以后怎么住?

Well, haven't really talked about it yet, but I figure, at some point, I'll move in with him, or he'll move in with me. 还没讨论这个，但我想什么时候，我搬去跟他一起住，或者他搬进来跟我住

Oh. How's it going? 写得怎么样了?

You tell me. 你听听看

"Dear Esteemed⁹ Colleagues, "As you may know, I have requested "to change my field of study. "尊敬的同事们"如您所知，我已请求"改变我的研究领域

"My decision to do so "is, I believe, in the best interest of science. "我之所以这样决定"是因为我相信，这最有益于科学

"At your convenience, I'd be happy to explain it to you in words you'll understand." "在您得便之时，我非常乐意向您解释，我会使用您可以理解的字眼"

You're right. I'll take that out. 你说得对，我这就把它删了

So, listen, there was something I was hoping to float past you. 听着，有些事我想提前跟你说一下

Mm. Now that Penny and I are engaged, I thought we might want to talk about our living arrangements. Of course. 既然佩妮跟我已经订婚了，我觉得咱们也该谈谈怎么住的问题了。当然

She's spent many nights here, and you're worried about preserving the myth of her virginity before the wedding. 她在这儿住过太多天了，你不知道婚礼之前，该怎么让她的贞操依旧保有神秘感

I'm not. Good, because not only has that ship sailed, if it hit an iceberg¹⁰, countless¹¹ men would perish. 不是。那就好，因为她贞操不仅是木已成舟了，如果撞上冰山，要陪葬的男人都数不清了

Actually, this is about where she and I are going to live. 实际上，是她跟我以后要住哪儿的问题

What do you mean? 什么意思?

Well... well, we might want to live together. 我们可能打算住一起

Oh, yeah, well, I've already given this some thought, and... I'm willing to let Penny live with us one day a week for a trial period. 噢，好吧，我已经想过这事儿了，还有...我愿意让佩妮跟我们一起住，试住期一周住一天

Now, obviously, not when she's made cranky by the shedding of her uterine lining¹². 当然啦，她因子宫内膜脱落，而脾气暴躁的那几天可不行

That's very sweet. 真体贴

But we were thinking more of us maybe living together with... not you. 不过我们想的是我俩可能住在一起，没有你

I don't understand. 我不懂

How could we all live together if I'm not there? 如果我不在，怎么称得上是"一起"住?

Look, I-I know this is... this is change, and that sounds scary, but... Where are you going to go? 听着，我知道这是改变，而且听着挺吓人，但是...你们要去哪儿?

I don't know. We just started to think about this. 我不知道。我们才开始考虑这事儿

Maybe I'll move in with Penny, or maybe she and I'll take this place, and you can move across the hall. Move across the hall?! 也许我搬过去跟佩妮一起住，也许她跟我一起住这儿，你可以搬到对面。搬到对面?!

Did you take a marijuana?! 你吸大麻了?!

No, I did not. Did you get hit on the head with a coconut¹³? 不，我没有。你脑袋被椰子砸了?

No. Well, then, I'm all out of guesses. 也没有，好吧，那我真不知道你怎么了

What? Me move across the hall. Why would you even suggest such a thing? 什么? 让我搬到对面，你怎么会提出这样的建议?

Because I love Penny, and want to give her the life she deserves. I see. 因为我爱佩妮，想给她她理应得到的生活。我明白了

You're putting your future bride's happiness above mine. Well, yeah. Wow. 你觉得你未来新娘的幸福比我的更重要了。是啊。哇哦

How dare the university force me to go back to string theory! 学校怎么能逼着我回头搞弦理论啊!

Here, I made you some Strawberry Quik. 给，我给你调了杯草莓速溶奶

I have real problems here, Amy. 我这些问题都不是闹着玩的，艾米

I can't be mollified with a beverage¹⁵ designed for children. Mmm! Yummy. 我不会因为一杯幼儿饮品而心情舒缓的。真好喝

You know, this might work out for the best. I mean, you're always complaining about what a terrible roommate Leonard is. 其实，这样没准儿是最好的安排，我是说，你也一直在抱怨莱纳德是个多差劲的室友啊

Like how he turns up the thermostat¹⁶ when you're not there. 比如趁你不在调高恒温器

Ugh! It's like walking into the Amazon. 哎哟! 简直是到了亚马逊啊

And not the good Amazon with one-day shipping¹⁷. The awful one with birds and snakes. 还不是那个能一天送货的好网站亚马逊，是那个满是鸟和蛇的讨厌的亚马逊

You hate the sound of all those keys on his key chain. Four keys! 你还讨厌他把所有钥匙套在钥匙链上发出的声响。四把钥匙啊!

Who does he think he is, a warden¹⁸? 他以为他是谁?监狱长?

See? Maybe you'll love living alone. 看吧?没准儿你会喜欢一个人住呢

I don't know. Perhaps. 我也不知道，可能吧

And if it turns out you don't... you and I could live together. You and... Oh, sure. 而且，如果你还是不喜欢一个人住，咱俩可以住在一起啊。咱...当然
