好的,事情是这样的...
I guess you're aware that Leonard asked me out.
aware:知道
我猜你知道Leonard约我出去了。
-Sheldon:Well, he didn't actually say anything,
是的,他并没有说什么,
but when he came back to the apartment he was doing a dance that brought to mind
但他回到房间的时候,他跳的舞让我想起了
the happy hippos in Fantasia.

to make an informed choice.

没法做出合适的选择。
-Penny:All right why you just pick one at random

好吧,为什么不随便选一个,
and if you don't like it you can sit somewhere else next time.
如果不喜欢,下次再换个地方好了。
-Sheldon:No, no. That's crazy.

You go ahead and talk while I figure it out.

你继续说,你边说我边想。
-Penny:Okay.
好吧。

呃,是这样的。
So I've known for a while now that Leonard has had
for a while:暂时
我刚刚知道Leonard
a little crush on me...
crush on:迷恋
对我有点意思...
-Sheldon:a little crush?
有点意思?
Well, I suppose so-- in the same way Menelaus
Menelaus:梅涅劳斯(斯巴达王)
可能吧-- 就像梅涅劳斯(斯巴达王)
had a "little crush" on Helen of Troy.
Helen:海伦娜(特洛伊皇后) Troy:特洛伊
【斯巴达王与海伦之间的爱情故事引起了历史上著名的特洛伊战争】

for, I don't know, like you would say, light years.

会保持... 我不知道,就像你们说的光年。
-Sheldon:I would not say that.
我不会那么说的。

-Penny:Thank you for the clarification.
clarification:澄清
多谢澄清。
-Sheldon:Draft.

-Penny:Sheldon, do you have anything to say that has anything to do with, you know,
Sheldon你想的话里有没有和...你知道
what I'm talking about?
和我说的事有关系的?
-Sheldon:Well, let's see...
让我想想...
We might consider Schrodinger's cat.
Schrodinger:薛定锷,生于奥地利维也纳,1910 年获维也纳大学博士学位。
我们可以想想薛定锷猫态 (量子力学的一个理想化实验)。
-Penny:Schrodinger?
薛定锷?

埃尔温·薛定锷为了阐明
the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics,
Copenhagen:哥本哈根 interpretation:解释,诠释 quantum physics:量子物理学

他设计了一个实验,把一只猫放在盒子里,
with a sealed vial of poison that will break open at a random time.
sealed:密封的 vial:小瓶 poison:毒药 break open:摔破 random:任意的,随机的
还放了一密封的毒气瓶,这个瓶子会在不确定的时间打碎,
Now, since no one knows when or if the poison has been released,
release:释放
然后因为没有人知道毒气何时释放或者是否被释放出来了,
until the box is opened,
所以直到你掀开盒子之前,
the cat can be thought of as both alive and dead.
那只猫可以认为是既活着又死了。
-Penny:I'm sorry. I don't get the point.
point:重点
对不起,我没明白你的重点。
-Sheldon:Well, of course you don't get it; I haven't made it yet.
你当然不明白,我还没说重点呢。
You'd have to be psychic to get it, and there's no such thing as "psychic."
psychic:通灵
你得会通灵才能明白,而世界上根本没有"通灵"这回事。
-Penny:Sheldon, what's the point?!
Sheldon重点是什么?!
-Sheldon:Just like Schrodinger's cat,
就像"薛定锷猫态"一样。
your potential relationship with Leonard right now
potential:潜在的
现在你与Leonard之间潜在的关系,
can be thought of as both good and bad.

好的,你的意思是我应该和Leonard出去。
-Sheldon:No, no, no, no, no.
不,不,不,不,不。
Let me start again.
让我从头讲一遍,
In 1935, Erwin Schrodinger...
在1935年埃尔温·薛定锷...
-Leonard:Two seats right there.
那儿有两个座位。
-Sheldon:Chung shu shway?
长寿石灰? (可能本来想说"社会主义万岁")

点了土豆馅饼又点土豆泥,
is a starch-filled redundancy.
starch:淀粉 redundancy:过剩
完全是淀粉过剩。
-Leonard:No, it's about Penny.
不,是有关Penny的。
-Sheldon:A mistake involving Penny.
involving:关于
有关Penny的错误...
Okay, you'll have to narrow it down.
narrow down:使变窄,使缩小
好吧,你得再把范围缩小点。
-Leonard:I don't think I can go out with her tonight.

现在我真要和Penny出去了,
I'm not excited-- I'm nauseous.
nauseous:令人作呕的,厌恶的
我却不兴奋--我觉得令人作呕。
-Sheldon:Ah, then your meal choice is appropriate.
appropriate:适当的,恰当的
啊,那你点餐点对了。
Starch absorbs fluid which reduces the amount of vomit
Starch:淀粉 absorb:吸收 fluid:液体,流体 reduce:减少 vomit:呕吐物
淀粉会吸收液体,减少可用于
available for violent expulsion.
violent:剧烈的,强烈的 expulsion:喷出
猛然喷发的呕吐量。
-Leonard:Right.
对。
-Sheldon:You also made a common grammatical mistake.
grammatical:语法上的
你还犯了一个常见的语法错误。
You said "nauseous," when you meant "nauseated."
nauseous:令人作呕的 nauseated:作呕的
你说"令人作呕" 但你的意思是"你觉得恶心"。
But go on.
不过继续。
-Leonard:Sheldon, this date is probably my one chance with Penny.
Sheldon这个约会可能是我跟Penny唯一的机会。
What happens if I blow it?
blow it:糟糕
如果我搞砸了怎么办?
-Sheldon:Well, if we accept your premise and also accept the highly improbable assumption
premise:前提 improbable:不大可能的 assumption:假设
好吧,如果我们接受你所说的前提和那个极不可能的假设,
that Penny is the only woman in the world for you,
即认为Penny是这世界上你的唯一,
then we can logically conclude that the result
logically:逻辑地 conclude:得出结论
那么我们就可以逻辑地得出结论,
of blowing it would be that you end up a lonely, bitter old man with no progeny.

搞砸了这次约会,你就会变成一个孤单痛苦、无子无孙的老男人。
The image of any number of evil lighthouse keepers

跟你说一点用都没有。
