Series 707 – The Proton Displacement

1. Amy: I've never seen him this happy before. Leonard: That's because you've never seen him on restock ( To stock again; to resupply with stocks. to replenish stores or supplies. ) the medicine cabinet药柜 day. Sheldon: Look. A new topical antihistamine with lidocaine. Wow. I can't wait until I get a rash(can't wait (to do something) to be very eager, as if to be unable to endure the wait until it is possible to do something. I'm glad it's almost summertime—I just can't wait to go swimming! 此表达更多是一种激动, 期待, 而不是不耐烦： Neither one of the choices fit well for me. "Impatience" is a condition of discomfort, frequently discomfort for something to be over, finished, done. There is no wonderful event being anticipated. "I grew more and more impatient as my son went back and forth, back and forth, trying to park the car." Saying "I couldn't wait until he parked the car" is possible, but doesn't quite carry the sentiment. "Can't wait" for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, etc. is a positive, excited, anticipation. I don't think I feel impatience for my birthday to arrive, but rather a growing excitement. I can't wait for the weekend. I can't wait until the weekend. I can't wait for you to come. I can't wait until you come.(until多用于不耐烦, 等不及. for多用于激动, 期待.)： Both versions have the potential to mean that deferring something until the weekend is not acceptable. You are about to install my new internet service ... sorry, I am not prepared to wait until the weekend, you must do better. But the "until" versions are much more likely in that context. In the context of my expecting delivery of something, I would be much more likely to use "until" than "for". But in the context of my longing to see you again, I would be much more likely to use "for" than "until". ). Leonard: Oh, Gas-X has a new ultra strength. I guess they really do read their mail. Sheldon: Hey, isn't that Professor Proton? Leonard: Oh, yeah. Sheldon: Look at him, just standing in line like he wasn't moderately famous算是小有名气 30 years ago. Let's go say hello. Leonard: Oh, maybe we shouldn't bother him. Sheldon: I'm not going to bother him, I'm going to talk to him. Leonard: He thinks there's a difference. 2. Sheldon: Arthur? Arthur, it's me, Sheldon Cooper. You may not remember because of your advanced age高龄. Arthur: Trust me, I, I remember. Sheldon: This is my girlfriend, Amy. Amy, this is television legend Arthur Jeffries. His science show inspired millions of children. Arthur: Hold, hold, hold on. You, you have a girlfriend? Amy: Yes, and I've heard so much about you. Hey look, we're wearing the same orthopaedic ( Orthopedic surgery ( orthopaedic (ˌɔ:θəuˈpi:dɪk) or orthopedic 整形的 The branch of medicine that deals with the prevention or correction of injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments.) or orthopedics (also spelled orthopaedic surgery and orthopaedics) is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders. In the US the majority of college, university and residency programs, and even the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, still use the spelling with the Latinate digraph ae. Elsewhere, usage is not uniform; in Canada, both spellings are acceptable; orthopaedics usually prevails in the rest of the British Commonwealth, especially in the UK.) shoes. I can't believe I dress like a celebrity. Arthur: Oh, okay, I get it now. Leonard: Dr. Jeffries, hello again. Leonard Hofstadter. Arthur: Oh, oh, right, I remember your, your girlfriend. Is, is she, is she here? Leonard: No, she's not. Sheldon: So, what prescription are you getting filled抓药? No. Wait, I want to guess. Don't tell me. Arthur: I wasn't going to tell you. Amy: Sheldon, come on. Sheldon: No, no, no. I'm really good at this. All right, give me a hint. Does it involve difficulty initiating a stream of anything? Arthur: Well, given my age, that's more than just a lucky guess. Leonard: Hey, Sheldon, let's go mock 取笑, 嘲笑, 开玩笑 the people(take/have digs/a jab/a dig at someone Fig. to insult or pester someone. Why did you take a jab at Sam? You're always taking digs at people who think they're your friends. Jane is always taking digs at Bob, but she never really means any harm.) buying homeopathic ( (ˌhoumiəˈpæθik) A system for treating disease based on the administration of minute doses of a drug that in massive amounts produces symptoms in healthy individuals similar to those of the disease itself.) medicine, you love that. Sheldon: But I'm hanging out with my friend, and we're having fun. Look how happy he is. 3. Howard: Bernie's having a girls' night on Friday at our place. You want to do something? Raj: Actually, I'm busy. Howard: Doing what? Raj: There's a new sports bar over on Colorado Ave… Howard: You're going to girls' night. Raj: Yeah. Howard: You know they're making jewellery right? Raj: You think they came up with that他们提议的吗, 他们的主意吗? They were going to drink beer and play darts. 4. Leonard: What's up? Howard: Not his testosterone [teˈstostərəun] levels. Raj: Excuse me. I happen to be very comfortable with my masculinity(I. The quality or condition of being masculine. II. Something traditionally considered to be characteristic of a male. masculine (ˈmæskjulɪn) ). Howard: How is that possible那怎么可能? Leonard: Hey, I got an email from Professor Proton. Sheldon: Goody(interj. Used to express delight. a child's exclamation of pleasure and approval. n. Something attractive or delectable, especially something sweet to eat.). What's it say(what's 在口语用法里可以作为"what does"的缩略. 如果不省略的话, 读法是: What does that mean? -> What dəz that mean? -> Whadəz that mean? 常见的省略有 is: "it's snowing". has: "he's gone". us: "let's do it". does: "what's she do?". A mildly interesting interjection: In spoken English (around me, at least) most people add a vowel sound between the word and the 's. So "What's she do?" would be pronounced "What-is she do?" (But not for other 's contractions: "What's she in for?" would be pronounced as written.) This can be a contraction of "what does", but I'd generally consider it a "colloquial contraction" as it's a bit of a colloquialism to say "what's" instead of "what does". Basically, if you're describing someone who's said "what's" to mean "what does", or emulating their style of speech, then it's OK. Otherwise, it's a rather quaint contraction and I'd recommend against it. What does will always be a little unexpected, as in the joke "'Mister, I've lost my daddy.' 'Well, I'll have a look for him, sonny: what's he like?' 'Beer and women.'" what's要不要略写: What's it doing? - This is fine, when you want to say 'what is it?' (the question ending on the word 'it'), it doesn't sound natural at all use the form with apostrophe + s. What is it?(不可以略写为What's it?) What's it doing? (something comes after 'it')(可以略写). The only time you'd ever hear something like that (in BE at least) would be when someone has forgotten what they want to say and they're trying to think of the word for what they want to express, they might say "Erm... what's it.... " it sounds like 'whatzit'. I think this is because it is usally followed by 'called', so that is why 'is' is combined with 'what', because it's short for "what's it called?". )? Leonard: He's working on a paper about nano vacuum tubes, and wants to know if I'd take a look at it. Sheldon: That's strange. That he would come to you for that and not me. Oh, I got two emails from him. Do you have Leonard's email address? And. Never mind, I found it. I can't believe he picked you over me越过我. Howard: You don't want to read a paper by some old has-been( Informal 光芒不再的, 过气的. One that is no longer famous, popular, successful, or useful. ) who hasn't done any real science in decades. Raj: Yeah, it's nothing to cry about 没什么好生气的 ( Cry about it A phrase said to a person when they are bitching about an issue that they either can not or will not do anything about. It is often used in place of the phrases "what are you going to do about it?" or "I don't care." Dude #1: Bro, you ate all of my Dunkaroos. I was saving those for my Bat Mitzvah. Dude #2: Hey, Fucking cry about it!! Dude #1: Dammit! I have to write a 50 page report on the mating habits of the blue-nosed land squid by tomorrow and I haven't even started. Dude #2: You know what you should do, dude? Go cry about it. Dude #1: Hey Mike is pretty pissed you keep banging his girlfriend. He said He's going to kick your ass. Dude #2: Whatever, tell that faggot to go cry about it! ). Sheldon: Sheldon Cooper does not cry. Howard: It's true, you'd rust生锈了. 5. Sheldon: And to think I idolized 当偶像 that man. And why? At the end of the day he's just another Hollywood phony骗子( swindler诈骗的人, con man, That salesman is a real crook. He demanded an apology from me for calling him a crook.

There's the vocalization of sympathy. Aw. That last one's tricky, I'm still working on it. Amy: From what I saw the other day, I could understand why he and some people might find you… Sheldon: What? Amy: Doesn't matter. Sheldon: No, go ahead, say it. I know what it is. I've heard it my whole life. The word's annoying. Go ahead, say it. Say it. Say I'm annoying. Amy: Sheldon. Sheldon: Oh, it won't hurt my feelings. Go ahead, Amy, say I'm annoying. I'm annoying. I'm annoying. I'm annoying. Yeah, now, uh, now where are you going? Look, you know you want to say it, say it. Say I'm annoying. Go ahead, say it. Say it. Say it. Amy, say it. Well, she can't stand it when I'm right. 6. Amy: This is fun. I'm going to feel like such a vixen wearing jewellery that doesn't have a list of medications I'm allergic to. Raj: Penny, how's it going over there? Penny: Good, I'm just having little trouble with the glue. Amy: How do you not know how to use glue? Did you ditch 逃学 pre-school? Penny: Yeah, but only because I was dating a second grader.

Let's hear all the Raj is a girl jokes. Howard: Nope. Bernadette told me it isn't nice and I'm not allowed. Raj: Thank you. Howard: So I won't be making fun of you, or the things you like, or the fact that you just want to have fu-un. Bernadette: Howie, stop. Come on, look at what I'm making. Howard: Oh, that's actually pretty nice. Amy: I'm making a bracelet. Penny: Yeah, I'm just making a mess. Howard: You know, instead of beads and glue, you guys can use my soldering iron. You'd be able to make much cooler stuff. Raj: Oh, I think we're doing just fine, thank you. Amy: Actually, I'd kind of like to try that我倒想试试看. Bernadette: Me, too. Howard: Be right back.

Sheldon: Well, I would have been here sooner本可以更早的, but for some reason your home isn't on this map of Hollywood stars. Arthur: What do you want, Sheldon? Sheldon: It's been pointed out by my girlfriend that I may have been annoying to you. Arthur: She sounds like a keeper(The best friend of the guy I am dating told him that "she is a keeper", when talking about me. My guy made a point to tell me that one nite. I am hispanic so i am not quite familiar with all the phrases in English, can someone tell me what exactly does that mean? It means she is one of the good ones and to not dump her. You must "keep her" around. You are marriage material. It means you're good to keep around. Just words... they're meaningless if not followed through with action没有时间行动. The truth is, if they think you're dating material, then they'll treat you like a date. If he's ready to be at the bf/gf stage... then he'll treat you exclusively. Same goes for marriage.). Sheldon: Anyway, I wanted to apologize. I am truly sorry. Arthur: All right, apology accepted. Have a nice night. Sheldon: No, no, now that we've cleared the air, I wanted to discuss another matter with you. Arthur: Sheldon, in a couple hours I have to get up, pee and then wander around the house. Sheldon: Well, then, I'll make this quick速战速决, 快点. Um, I want to talk about the paper you sent Leonard.

I want something that will stick to my ribs. stick to your knitting if a person or company sticks to their knitting, they continue to do what they have always done instead of trying to do something they know very little about. He believes the key to a company's success is to stick to its knitting rather than trying to diversify.). 7. Leonard: If you would have told me when I was a kid that someday I would be doing science next to Professor Proton, I would not have believed you. Arthur: If someone had told me that people would still call me Professor Proton when I was 83 years old, I never would have quit smoking. Leonard: I'm sorry, Dr. Jeffries, I'm just excited. This nano vacuum tube idea of yours is, it's really interesting. Sheldon: Hello, Leonard. Oh, hello, Arthur. What an odd coincidence that you're both here. Leonard: Why is it odd? Sheldon: Because as it just so happens, I'm also spending the day with a beloved children's television science personality. Isn't that right, new friend and colleague Bill Nye the Science Guy. Sorry, I replaced you with a newer model. Bill Nye: Wow, Arthur Jeffries. It's an honour to meet you. My show never would have happened without yours. Arthur: That's what I told my lawyers. Leonard: Mr. Nye, hello. I'm sorry he got you involved in this nonsense. Bill: He said I'd be speaking to a class. Sheldon: No, I said you were teaching someone a lesson. Now let's go. Bill: What are you guys working on? Leonard: Oh, uh, we're making nano vacuum tubes. Bill: Oh, that's interesting. Arthur: Haven't you stolen enough from me? Back off 走开, bow tie. 8. Penny: Hey, guys, what do you think? Amy: Wow, Penny, good job. Penny: Thanks. Target, four ninety-nine. I'm getting a drink. Amy: What are you working on? Raj: Ah, I'm making a necklace for my mom. Amy: That's sweet. Raj: Yeah, she and my dad are going through a bit of a rough patch闹别扭, so I wanted to do something to let her know I was thinking about her. Penny: What's going on with them? Raj: They're just having a little trouble communicating. My dad says it's because the sound of my mom's voice makes him want to tear his ears off and sew them over his eyes so he never has to look at her again. Bernadette: Hi. Penny: Hey, guys. Amy: Hello. Howard: Look who's here to put the Jew in jewellery night. Bernadette: Oh, sure, so it's fine when you say it. Howard: Sorry we're late. I wanted to swing by the lab and pick up some even cooler tools for us to use. Raj: I didn't know you were coming again. Howard: Well, last week was a blast. Plus, I thought you might like having a guy here. Penny (laughing): It was not funny. Amy: So, what tools did you bring? Howard: Everything we need to make jewellery moulds. Here's some silver, a crucible and an acetylene torch to melt it down. Penny: Ooh, that looks like fun. Bernadette: Maybe you should master glue before you move on to fire. Howard: Okay, who's up first? Amy: Rajesh, do you want to make a bracelet for your mom to go with 搭配 the necklace? Raj: No, thanks. Howard: I was gonna make a necklace for my mom, but unfortunately she doesn't have a neck. She's just chins and fat and feet. 9. Leonard: Okay, we're almost ready to go. Once we bond the wires, we can test the tubes. Arthur: This is so exciting, I, I feel like I'm 75 again. Leonard: Oh, God. Arthur: What, what is it? Leonard: Sheldon just sent me a picture of him and Bill Nye getting smoothies. Arthur: Can, can I ask you a question? Leonard: Yeah, sure. Arthur: Why do you put up with Sheldon? Leonard: Oh, uh, you know, because we're friends. Arthur: Why? Leonard: Wow, you ask really hard questions. Arthur: Yeah. Leonard: Look, I know he can be aggravating ( 令人火大的, 令人光火的. I. To make worse or more troublesome. II. To rouse to exasperation or anger; provoke. Usage Note: Aggravate comes from the Latin verb aggravāre, which meant "to make heavier," that is, "to add to the weight of." It also had the extended senses "to annoy" and "to oppress." Some people claim that aggravate can only mean "to make worse," and not "to irritate," on the basis of the word's etymology. But in doing so, they ignore not only an English sense in use since the 17th century, but also one of the original Latin ones. Sixty-eight percent of the Usage Panel approves of its use in It's the endless wait for luggage that aggravates me the most about air travel.), but what you have to remember 你得记着 is that he's not doing it on purpose. It's just how he is. But he's also loyal and trustworthy and we have fun together. Arthur: You, you know you're describing a dog. Leonard: He did bite me once. But in his defence 替他说句话, 为他说句话, I came up behind him while he was eating, so… Arthur: Yeah, they, they hate that. Leonard: You know what, Sheldon is the smartest person I have ever met. And he's a little broken ( I. 不着调. Not working properly. I think my shaver is broken. II. (colloquial, US, of a situation) Not having gone in the way intended; saddening. Oh man! That is just broken! ) and he needs me. I guess I need him, too. Arthur: Why, why is that? Leonard: Boy, you will not let this go没完没了了, will you? Oh, jeez. Arthur: Another photo from Sheldon? Leonard: No, I have to go pick him up. Bill Nye ditched him at the smoothie place. Arthur: He probably stole his wallet, too. 10. Howard: You know, if you guys are interested, there's a technique where I can take a lock of your hair, refine it into carbon dust and use the hydraulic press at work to turn it into a tiny little diamond with your DNA in it. Penny: Oh, that's amazing. Howard: Yeah. See Bernie's engagement ring? That came right off my mom's back. Bernadette: He's kidding. If that were true, it'd be so much bigger. Raj: My name is Howard. I can make your hair into diamonds. My mom is morbidly obese. Everybody love me. Howard: Whoa, where is that coming from从何说起? Raj: I'll tell you where it's coming from. All you do is make fun of me for coming to girls' night and now you're here ruining it for everyone. Penny: Raj, cool it(cool it 别生气, 别发脾气, 消消气 (idiomatic) calm down, relax, take a time out.

Howard: How am I ruining anything? I'm just trying to help you make better jewellery. Raj: But this isn't about the jewellery. This is about me having a place where I can open up about my feelings. Howard: Since when can't you open up with me? Raj: There are just some things that I feel more comfortable sharing with the girls, because they won't make fun of me or and call me names, or ask me if my Koothrapanties are in a bunch( panties in a bunch I. 反应过度的. 反应过激的. When a person overreacts to a trifling insult or barb, or to a joke. II.

It was very brave of you to tell me. Raj: Thank you. It wasn't easy. Amy: They're gonna have sex before Sheldon and I do, I know it. 11. Sheldon: Arthur? Arthur: Hi, Sheldon. Sheldon: I'm surprised to see you here. Arthur: Yeah, me, too. Somewhere around the third floor I began to see a white light 眼冒白光, 眼冒金星 ( Why does EVERYONE that has near death experience see a white light? The answer you are searching for really depends on your religious and scientific views. Some believe that the white light seen is heaven welcoming people to come to it. Others think it is the stepping stone, or a place of judgment where it is decided if you will go to heaven or hell. Scientist are now tending to believe that it is a process that occurs when your brain stops receiving oxygen. To read about this phenomenon, check out the link I'll include. ). Sheldon: I'll get Leonard. Arthur: No, no, no, I'm, I'm here, I'm here to see you. Sheldon: If you're hoping to get in touch with Bill Nye, I can't help you. I've been informed that he's now Bill Nye the Restraining Order Guy. Arthur: No, I, I, I was thinking, if it isn't too much trouble 不是太麻烦你的话, I'd like to get your opinion about 听听你的意见 my, my paper. Sheldon: Thank you. It would be an honour. Arthur: Oh. Uh, great. Sheldon: Actually, I don't need that. I hacked into your e-mail account and read it. Arthur: And, what did you think? Sheldon: Well, first, I think the fact that you use your birthday as a password is embarrassing. Arthur: Mmm. Thank you. Sheldon: Second, um, I thought your paper was inspired. Arthur: Oh, well, that, that means a lot to me. Sheldon: Can I invite you in for tea? Arthur: Uh, no, no. I, I really, I have, I have to run. Penny: Hey, Arthur. How are you? Arthur: Well, I guess one cup wouldn't hurt 没什么大不了的. 12. Howard: Oh, hey, buddy, what's up? Raj: Well, I was feeling bad about how I acted the other night so I made you a little something. Howard: You didn't have to do that不用这样的. Raj: Well, it was fun. I used some of the jewellery techniques you taught us. It's a lightsabre belt buckle. Howard: Wow, this is so cool. Thanks. Raj: Oh gets better还有更好的呢. Howard: Wow. Raj: And that's not even the best part. See? I have one, too. Check it out. You can wear yours and we can have little sword fights whenever we want. 13. Sheldon: Yeah, and my eighth favourite episode of Professor Proton was Alka-Seltzer rocket. You said, plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh, what a blast-off it is( blastoff 发射 The countdown and launch of a rocket, missile or spacecraft. ). Remember? Remember that? Remember? Leonard: He can't help it. He can't. He really can't. Sheldon: Oh, wait here. I'll get some Alka-Seltzer, we can build that rocket, and we can shoot it at Bill Nye's house. As long as I'm not within 500 feet of it. Arthur: So, you, uh, you have, you have any, single grandmothers? Penny: Sorry, they're both married. Arthur: Good. Penny: Mmm. Arthur: Hap, hap, happily?
