Series 710 – The Discovery Dissipation

1. Ira Flatow: This is Science Friday. I'm Ira Flatow. My guest today is responsible for the discovery of the first stable super-heavy element. Welcome, Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Sheldon: Thank you. Uh, the university made me come here. I didn't want to. Uh, big fan of the show. Ira: So, I understand that you actually discovered this element by mistake. Sheldon: Yes. Ira: And some people in the science community are calling it The Wonder Blunder. Sheldon: Who? Give me their names. I bet it's Wolowitz. Ira: It's just such a fascinating story. Your calculations are way off差太多了, but they find the element anyway. It's like misreading a treasure map寻宝图 and still finding the treasure. Sheldon: Can we talk about something else? Do you know that I yodel(Yodeling (also yodelling or jodeling) is a form of singing which involves repeated changes of pitch during a single note. The singer quickly switches between the low-pitch chest register (or "chest voice") and the high-pitch head register or falsetto. )? Ira: That's interesting, but this could be taking you down the path toward a Nobel Prize. And in chemistry, no less(no less this is surprising to me, and must surprise you too. used to indicate surprise or admiration, often sarcastic, at the preceding statement. used to show the importance of someone or something: Who should arrive at the party but the prime minister, no less! "she says she's been to Italy, no less". I happen to own the very same sweater – and in green, no less. They lost the first two games in a best-of-five series, and on their home field, no less. 网友的解释: "as if no less would be acceptable". and is often used as a sarcastic dig at the snooty types of people who brag about their pedigree and education to those obviously less fortunate. usually they separate it in two parts ... "He is a university graduate..... of Harvard , no less". ). And wouldn't that be unusual? Because you're a physicist. Sheldon: Yes, yes, I'd be a physicist with a Nobel in chemistry. Everyone laugh at the circus freak. You know, I don't need to sit here and take this 坐在这里, 忍受这些, Flatow. It is because of bullies like you, every day more and more Americans are making the switch to television. 2. Sheldon: President Seibert, I don't know why you're yelling 你有什么好喊的. You're the one who made me go on the radio. I was expecting a professional science interview, not an attack by some morning zoo ( Morning zoo is a format of morning radio show common to English-language radio broadcasting. The name is derived from the "wackiness and zaniness" of the activities( zany ['zeɪni] n. A ludicrous, buffoonish character in old comedies who attempts feebly to mimic the tricks of the clown. historical a comic performer partnering a clown, whom he imitated in an amusing way. adj. Ludicrously comical; clownish. Comical because of incongruity or strangeness; bizarre. amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic: his zany humour. zaniness Lack of good sense or judgment. What zaniness possessed you to take a mental health day when you knew that the head honcho would be visiting?), bits, and overall personality of the show and its hosts. The morning zoo concept and name is most often deployed on contemporary hit radio (CHR-Top 40) radio stations. A morning zoo typically consists of two or more radio personalities, usually capable of spontaneous comedic interaction as well as competent delivery of news and service elements. Most morning zoo programs involve scripted or live telephone calls, on-air games and regular contests.) shock jock. Well, if the university needs money so badly急需钱, perhaps you should start a swear jar( a swear jar or cuss jar (cuss (kʌs) To curse or curse at.), whenever you use a cuss word or get caught you place the amount specified in the jar. each word can be different amounts ....kids college fund if you end up cussing alot. How to Start a Swear Jar: With the fast-paced lives we all live today, it can be quite easy to get flustered ( fluster To make or become nervous or upset. to put into a state of nervous or agitated confusion. She was calm. Nothing could fluster her. I was in such a fluster that I dropped the lot. ). When we are flustered in life, we tend to swear more. We know it's not attractive. We know it sets a bad example for our kids, but it's tough to control that sudden impulse. Here are some ideas on how to start a swear jar that will help you, your kids and the rest of your family stop saying bad words. ). Whoa, that one's worth a dollar. Amy: I know you don't like it, but every time you do an interview, it raises the profile of 提高声望 the university. That translates to funding. Sheldon: Yeah, well, I'm not just some trained monkey dancing for coins. Leonard: Of course you're not. People love trained monkeys. Penny: How can you not be happy? You're tall, thin and famous. Oh, my God, I'm jealous of Sheldon. Sheldon: Look, you're gonna be doing this stuff for a while. You're just gonna have to find a way to get used to it 想办法习惯那些. Sheldon: But none of you know what this is like 这是什么感觉. Being celebrated for something you wish you never did. Penny: Mmm, you clearly haven't been with me at Mardi Gras. 3. Bernadette: Want to pause the video game and help me clean up? Howard: I am cleaning up. Look at the mess the Joker made of Gotham City. Bernadette: Come on, it's your friend who's coming to stay here. Howard: Raj grew up in India. Trust me, he's seen worse. Bernadette: Howie. Howard: I promise I'll help out帮忙 the rest of the week. Bernadette: The rest of the week? You said it was just gonna be a night or two. Howard: Yeah, but if I told you a week, would you have said yes? Bernadette: No. Howard: Then you left me no choice. Bernadette: I love Raj, but that's a long time for a house guest(房客. a person who visits and usually stays in someone's home overnight. ). Howard: I know, but they're tenting ( tent I. (intransitive) To go camping. We'll be tented at the campground this weekend. II. (cooking) To prop up aluminum foil in an inverted "V" (reminiscent of a pop-up tent) over food to reduce splatter, before putting it in the oven. III. (intransitive) To form into a tent-like shape. The sheet tented over his midsection. ) his building. He can't find a hotel he likes that allows dogs允许狗. Bernadette: He's bringing Cinnamon桂皮? Howard: For a whole week, the nerve of some people( the nerve of someone 真是大胆啊, 真是大无畏啊, 真是胆大啊, 真是敢啊. Brazen boldness; effrontery. had the nerve to deny it. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them [a group of weirdos] weren't young at all ; why, that man had to be older than he was, and wearing an emerald-green cloak! The nerve of him! (J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, p. 8) To have the nerve to do something can either mean that you are particularly brave, or that you are partcularly rude. In this context, Mr Dursley feels that the person wearing an emerald green cloak is showing a degree of rudeness AND courage in wearing an emerald green cloak unsuited to his age.). 4. Sheldon's bedroom. Sheldon is playing with his train set火车加轨道的玩具. Sheldon: Here comes the Embarrassment Express. With stops at Fraudville, Wonder Blunderberg, and Kansas City. Because it's a hub. Amy: Sheldon, can I come in? Sheldon: Do you have cookies? Amy: No. Sheldon: Good. I don't deserve cookies. Come in. Wil? Wil Wheaton: Hey, Sheldon. It's been a while有一阵子了啊. Sheldon: Why are you here? Wil: Amy said you were having a rough time, and I thought maybe we could talk. Is that okay? Sheldon: Certainly. Although, right now, I'm having a rough time because there's three people in my room, and it's starting to feel like a discotheque([ˈdɪskəˌtɛk] A nightclub that features dancing to recorded or sometimes live music and often has showy decor and elaborate lighting.). Amy: Sheldon, you said you were unhappy getting attention for something you wished you never did. Wil: Yeah, I know a little something about that. Sheldon: Oh, nonsense, Wil. Your endless tweets are not that bad. Wil: I remember why it's been a while. Sheldon, I was actually talking about when I was a kid on Star Trek. Sheldon: How could you not like getting attention for playing Wesley Crusher? You were wonderful. A know-it-all boy genius with an eidetic(eidetic (aɪˈdɛtɪk) Of, relating to, or marked by extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images. ) memory. Who couldn't relate to that? Wil: Well, not everybody felt that way. A lot of people really hated the character, and some of them hated me because of it. I would do interviews, and people would be mean to me. Sheldon: That just happened to me. Next time you're stuck for a tweet(be stuck for Be unable to obtain or think of. We're stuck for a fourth for bridge. In this course I'm always stuck for an answer. be stuck on sb/sth old-fashioned informal To be very fond of. to like a person or an idea very much: Nick's really stuck on Maria - he doesn't talk about anything else.), feel free to say what a jerk Ira Flatow is. Amy: Sheldon, the point is Wil learned to embrace that part of his life and moved on to bigger and better things. Wil: Yeah, I'm an author now, I do public speaking, and I have my own Web series about board games. Amy: Uh, we're trying to cheer him up, so… Wil: I'm just saying that there was a time when 曾经我都觉得, 曾有一度我觉得 I thought I would never get out of Wesley Crusher's shadow永远摆脱不了阴影. But now, it's just one small part of a pretty great life, and it's a part that I'm happy is there. Sheldon: I do see what you're saying. That helps. Wil: Good. Sheldon: Would you two like to stay and play trains with me? Wil: Sure. Amy: Okay. Sheldon: Oh, great, now, I work the controls, I say all aboard(all aboard! a warning to passengers to board a vehicle, ship, etc. It is a signal for everyone to get on the train.). You sit quietly and watch. Wil:Can I blow the whistle? Sheldon: You should probably go. 5. Howard: You're gonna brush your teeth on my couch? Raj: No, I'm gonna brush Cinnamon's teeth. Howard: Why bother? She spends half the time licking her butt. Raj: And the other half licking my face. That's why I'm brushing her teeth. Bernadette: Hey, guys. Sorry I'm so late. Did you already have dinner? Howard: No, we were waiting for you. Bernadette: Aw, that's so sweet. Howard: Yeah. So what do you feel like making? Raj: Howard, the poor thing just got home from work. Let me get you a glass of wine. I'll cook dinner. Bermadette: Oh, Raj, you're our guest. Raj: Don't be silly. Sit. You look like you've had a long day. Howard: No, she always looks like that. Because she married an idiot. Bernadette: Thank you, Raj. Raj: Please, this is my way of thanking you for letting me stay here. Now, tell us all about your day. Bernadette: Okay, um, well, first, I was late to a meeting 'cause I was stuck in traffic. Howard: Well, I keep telling you to put that traffic app on your phone. Raj: Hey, when you got home today complaining that you felt sick from eating too many jelly beans(Jelly beans 糖豆 (also spelled jellybeans) are a small bean-shaped type of confectionery with a soft candy shell and a gel interior which come in a wide variety of flavors. The confection is primarily made of sugar.), did I tell you how to fix it? No. I said, aw, that must hurt, and I rubbed your belly( rub belly 摩挲肚子 When your dog lays down on his back and sticks his belly out for you to rub! Gotta love it, it's so cute! ). Howard: I thought of you the whole time. Raj: All I'm saying is there's a time 有时候 to just listen. Bernadette: Thank you. Raj: There's also a time to stop eating too many jelly beans. And it's when you're ten. 5. Sheldon: Hello, President Siebert. Thank you for taking my call接我电话. I just wanted you to know that you can now expect enthusiastic participation from me regarding my discovery. Oh, no, no, no, no. No need to thank me. No, thank my friend, Wil Wheaton. For your information, I have nine friends, hmm? Ten if we include you. Nine it is. Ah, it's ten. I'll count Wolowitz. Hello, friend Leonard. Leonard: Hey, you're in a good mood. Sheldon: I'm in a great mood. Leonard: Well, you're about to be in an even better one. I didn't want to say anything until I knew for sure, but, I've been re-running the tests on your element in my lab and I disproved证明不存在 it(To prove to be false, invalid, or in error; refute. to show (an assertion, claim, etc) to be incorrect). Your element does not exist. Sheldon: Yeah, but what about the Chinese research team? They found it. Leonard: Yeah, it turns out someone added simulated signals to the data files. They faked the results结论造假. Sheldon: Really? Leonard: Yes. Do you know what that means? That means all of this attention that you hate goes away. Sheldon: So no more interviews? Leonard: No, it's all over. Sheldon: I can't believe it. Leonard: Well, you're welcome. Sheldon: You robbed me of my greatest achievement. Leonard: What? Sheldon: I'm back down to nine friends. Make it eight, I'm sick of Wolowitz, too. Leonard: I, I don't understand. All you've done since you discovered this stupid element was complain. I was trying to make you happy. Sheldon: By taking away my only claim to fame? Well, if you wanted to make me happy, you could have told me a joke讲个笑话给我听. Or shown me a cute video of a koala and an otter水獭 ( Sloths 树獭 (UK [ˈslouθ], US [ˈsloθ]) are medium-sized mammals belonging to the families Megalonychidae (two-toed sloth) and Bradypodidae (three-toed sloth), classified into six species. They are part of the order Pilosa and are therefore related to anteaters, which sport a similar set of specialized claws. Extant sloths are arboreal (tree-dwelling) residents of the jungles of Central and South America, and are known for being slow-moving, and hence named "sloths". Extinct sloth species include many ground sloths, some of which attained the size of elephants. Sloths make a good habitat for other organisms, and a single sloth may be home to moths, beetles, cockroaches, ciliates, fungi, and algae水藻. Sloth 懒惰罪 is one of the seven deadly sins in Christian moral tradition, particularly within Catholicism, that refers to laziness. Sloth is defined as spiritual or emotional apathy, neglecting what God has spoken, and being physically and emotionally inactive. It can also be either an outright refusal or merely a carelessness in the performance of one's obligations, especially spiritual, moral or legal obligations. Sloth can also indicate a wasting due to lack of use, concerning a person, place, thing, skill, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement, or support to continue to exist. ) becoming unlikely friends. Leonard: Oh, there is no winning with you 怎么都不对, 怎么都落不是, 怎么都不行. And koalas and otters don't even live near each other. Sheldon: That's what makes their friendship unlikely. Penny: Hey, what's with all the yelling? Sheldon: Leonard disproved my element. Now all the attention is going to go away. Penny: Oh, that's great. You must be thrilled, Sheldon: That's it, I'm down to seven friends. Penny: He's counting hobbits and superheroes, right? Sheldon: When I thought the element was real, I didn't want it. But now that Leonard made it not exist, I want it more than anything in the world. Leonard: The, the element never existed. I didn't take it away, science took it away. Be mad at science. Sheldon: Don't you dare use science against me. Science is my best friend. Oh, good, I'm back up to eight. Leonard: Will you tell him he's out of his mind. Penny: Actually, I get what he's saying. Sheldon: Oh, yes, nine. Welcome back, buddy. Penny: It's like if you're dating someone you're not that into, and then they break up with you and then you want them more than ever. Sheldon: I have no idea what she's talking about, but we're ganging up on ( gang up on somebody (with sb) 联合起来反对, 联合对抗 to unite as a group against someone. to form into a group and attack someone. (Usually a physical attack, but it can also be a verbal attack.) We can't win against the robber unless we gang up on him. All right, you guys, don't gang up on me. Play fair! It seemed like my creditors were ganging up on me. ) you so I agree. Leonard: Okay, Sheldon, what do you want me to do, hide the information? If I don't publish it, it's just a matter of time 迟早 before someone else does. Sheldon: No, no, of course you have to publish. That's your responsibility as a scientist. Doing otherwise would be unethical没职业道德的. You have no choice. Leonard: Fine, I'll publish. Sheldon: Can you believe this guy? 6. Bernadette: Aw! Raj did the dishes. Howard: How do you know I didn't do them? Bernadette: Because once曾经有一次, when all the knives were dirty, you cut a bagel with your keys. Raj: Good morning, everybody. I picked up coffee while I was out. Bernadette, here's your soy peppermint mocha. Bernadette: Aw, you didn't have to do that. Raj: Oh, my pleasure, and don't worry about your presentation today. You're gonna be great. Howard: Yeah, you're gonna knock it out of the park(knock out of the park (ballpark) to do a stellar job. Term is from baseball. You really knocked that presentation out of the park. When she speaks on the level of her audience, she knocks it out of the park. We knocked this launch out of the park. Make sure to knock your responsibilities out of the park.). Bernadette: What presentation do I have today? Howard: Just go. Raj: He loves you. Howard: What are you doing? Are you trying to make me look bad? Raj: I'm just being a good house guest. Howard: No, you're being a better husband than I am. Doing the dishes, getting coffee, knowing about her life, who does that? Raj: Oh, come on, I brought you one, too. Howard: I don't want coffee. Raj: That's why I got you hot chocolate. Howard: Give me that. Just stop showing me up (show someone up 让人难堪, 让人丢人现眼, 让人丢脸 = reflect [well/bad] on somebody/something 见下边 to make someone's faults or shortcomings apparent. to do something that embarrasses someone or makes them seem stupid. to behave in a way that makes someone you are with feel ashamed or embarrassed: I wish you wouldn't show me up in front of my parents by getting so drunk. He's always boasting about how much money he's earned – like he's trying to show you up. John is always trying to show someone up to make himself look better. John's excellent effort really showed up Bill, who didn't try very hard at all.). Raj: Howard, listen to me. You're a great husband. Yes, your listening skills could use some work(You say "I could use ___" to indicate that you really want or need something, like a drink, but for some reason you haven't been able to get it yet. In the example at top, you say "I could really use a cup of coffee" because you're very sleepy and need some coffee, but there's no coffee nearby. Here's another example - when you're struggling with something, and there's someone nearby who isn't helping you, you can say: I could use a little help. ). But it's amazing how far you've come given that you're an only child raised by an over-protective mom. Howard: Um, is this getting weird? Raj: Hang on. Howard: So, yes. 7. Leonard: Hey. I just wanted to let you know that I, I posted my findings. Sheldon: I saw. And I just posted a retraction撤销, 撤回 (take it back) of my paper. Now the whole scientific community knows I was wrong. Leonard: These things happen all the time, Sheldon. Sheldon: Not to me. The only other retraction I ever had to issue was when I was seven and I conceded that my brother was the greatest ninja in East Texas. But that was just a ploy策略, 花招 to (A tactic, strategy, or gimmick. The free t-shirt is really a ploy to get you in the door to see their sales pitch. ) get my face out of his armpit. Barry: Thew he is. It's my favowite superhewo, the Wetwactor. Leonard: Come on, don't give him a hard time让...难堪. Barry: I'm sowwy, Cooper. I wetwact it. By the way, Hofstadter, nice job dispwoving the Chinese team. Leonard: It's not a big deal. Barry: It's a huge deal. Cooper, maybe physics just isn't your thing. Have you ever considered a caweer in wetail? That way you could take things back for a wiving. Leonard: Okay, Barry, that's enough. Sheldon: No, no, no, that's okay. I can fight my own battles. Isn't that right, Bawwy. Barry: Is? Is that a wefewence to my speech impediment (lisp 口齿不清. impedance 阻抗, fancy word for resistance)(A lisp, also known as sigmatism, is a speech impediment in which a person cannot articulate sibilants ([s], [z], [ʒ], [ʃ], [tʃ], [dʒ]). These misarticulations often result in unclear speech.)? That's pwetty hurtful伤人了. I, I can't contwol it. Sheldon: You're right, That was uncalled for不应该的( I. Not required or requested; unwanted: uncalled-for suggestions. II. Not justified or deserved; unwarranted: uncalled-for rudeness. "I'm sorry. That remark was quite uncalled for." "You have brought the game into disrepute by your unwarranted and uncalled for remarks." "I think the criticism is quite uncalled for.".). I take it back. Barry: Of course you do. Because you're the Wetwactor. 8. Bernadette: Raj, this dinner was amazing. If you're here much longer, I'm gonna have to buy bigger clothes. Raj: Nonsense. You need a little fattening up增肥, 长胖一点( fatten up I. to get fat by eating something. We will fatten the calf up with corn. I don't know why they keep fattening up their children with so much food. The cattle fattened up on the succulent grass. The bears have to fatten up on food before they hibernate for the winter. II. Fig. 蒸蒸日上, 繁荣昌盛. 有钱. to become prosperous because of something. The corporations fattened up on easy profits and low taxes. The directors of the company fattened up even during the recession when the workers were laid off.). You've been looking too skinny lately. Bernadette: Aw. Howie, how come you never say anything sweet like that( sweet talker 嘴甜的人 someone with an assured and ingratiating manner.  Someone who is charming and confident. They speak in an assured and pleasing manner. Someone who flatters and tells people what they want to hear. A sweet talker tells a girl what they want to hear. John might not be the best looking guy, but he's a real sweet talker. your beautiful, your cute ect. anything for you baby, you look good in everything..used repeatedly is an example of a sweet talker. Smooth Talker 能说会道的人, 会说话的人. Someone who has a very rare ability to say all the right things at the right time. Even when a situation is not in their favor, by the end of the night their uncanny ability with words has turned a unfavorable situation into an advantage. They are charming and possess all the people skills then some, they can talk their way out of or in into anything they want. Even more deadly if the person is hot. Basically they can sell a ketchup Popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves. A smooth talker is someone who has a way with words, which end up with you doing anything for them. You can tell he is a smooth talker by listening to how many times he gives you compliments. Yes, most of the time, it means they are a player. If anyone else was speeding that fast they would be in jail, but Johnny is such a smooth talker the cop ended up escorting him where he needed to go. )? Howard: What are you talking about? Remember last week, when I asked you if you were wearing Spanx and you weren't? How's that different? Bernadette: Maybe you could try being more thoughtful( thoughtful, considerate, attentive, solicitous: These adjectives mean having or showing concern for the well-being of others. Although thoughtful and considerate are often used interchangeably, thoughtful考虑周到的 implies a tendency to anticipate needs or wishes, whereas considerate体谅人的, 敏感的 stresses sensitivity to another's feelings: a thoughtful friend who brought me soup when I was sick; considerate, quiet neighbors. Attentive 特别关注的, 特别注意的 suggests devoted, assiduous attention: a good editor who is attentive to detail. Solicitous implies deep concern that often verges on anxiety or expresses itself in exaggerated and sometimes cloying attentiveness: was annoyed by a solicitous and meddlesome cousin. ), like your friend Raj. Howard: Yeah, well, maybe you could try being more like Raj. Bernadette: Oh, really? Howard: Yeah, yeah. He packed me a lunch this morning. And there was a note inside that said go get 'em. Bernadette: Like I don't do enough around here. Now I need to pack your lunch? And by the way, why do you need a note telling you to go get 'em? You're a grown man成年人, you should know to go get 'em. Howard: I do know to go get 'em, but sometimes it's nice to have emotional support when I'm going and getting them. Raj: Hey, hey, do you hear yourselves? Let's just, you know, all calm down and take a step back. Bernadette: This is stupid. Why are we fighting? Howard: I don't know. I guess I was just feeling like I'm a lousy husband(I. 差劲的. 不合格的. Remarkably bad; of poor quality, dirty, or underhanded; mean, contemptible. bad, or unpleasant. I'm a lousy singer. lousy weather. a. used about an unpleasant or dishonest person.

(American colloquial) Filled or packed with something. to be full of something, or to have too much of something, especially something unpleasant.).Bernadette: You're not a lousy husband. You're a great husband. I was the one feeling like a lousy wife. Howard: Are you kidding? You're the best. I know what the problem is. It's him. Raj: Oh, what did I do. Howard: You made us feel like we're not trying hard enough. Bernadette: Yeah, we were totally fine half-assing ( half-ass 得过且过, 将就, 对付着过. 弄个半成品 adj & v. do (something) with little effort or care. incompetent. Produced in an incompetent or desultory manner, or of something lacking in quality or substance; of low rank; incompetent. To perform a task incompletely or carelessly. Usually considered derogatory or insulting. "developers should stop half-arsing things and make good games!"

The outstanding work of our scientists reflects well on the entire university. If someone on our staff does a bad job, it reflects badly on all of us. Usage notes: always used with an adverb and said of both good and bad influences on a reputation. reflect on I. (transitive) To think carefully about something, and give it due consideration. It only took me a moment to reflect on my past experiences and I knew I was ready to leave all of that stuff in the past. II.

Raj: Look, I'm sorry you're upset with me, but I just have to say it's nice to see the two of you on the same page. Howard: Oh, it does feel good to have you backing me up 站在我这边, 跟我撑腰, 支持我 for once. Bernadette: I back you up all the time. Howard: That is not… he's doing it again. Bernadette: What is wrong with you? 9. Leonard: I can't believe they kicked you out. Raj: I can't believe they're still married. Oh, no, I forgot Cinnamon's toothbrush at Howard's. I guess you're sharing with Daddy again. Penny: Bark 叫一声 once if you need me to call PETA. Sheldon: What's that animal doing in our apartment? Leonard: Oh, relax, she's in her crate. She can't get out. Sheldon: I have two words for you, Jurassic Park. This day just keeps getting worse and worse. Penny: You know, if it makes you feel any better… Sheldon: It probably won't. Penny: You're probably right. Amy: Sheldon, it's a beautiful night. Why don't you and I go for a nice walk together? Sheldon: Oh, everything is just sex with you isn't it? Raj: Sheldon, I think you might find the support you're looking for if you realize that relationships are a give and take. She can only be there for you as much as you are for her. Amy: Thank you, Rajesh. Raj: And, Amy, you need to be patient with Sheldon, instead of pressuring 施加压力 him to accept intimacy on your terms 你想说怎样就怎样(on one's own terms 按照自己的意愿 in accordance with one's wishes, in one's own way. prefers to live on his own terms. ). Amy: You should probably go. 10. Ira: I'm Ira Flatow, and this is Science Friday. I'd like to welcome back Dr. Sheldon Cooper, who thought he had discovered a new super-heavy element only to have it disproved by my next guest, Dr. Leonard Hofstadter. Welcome to Science Friday, gentlemen. Leonard: Thanks. Sheldon: Thank you. Ira, if I may, I'd like to apologize for my behaviour last week. Ira: It's all right. Sheldon: Now, isn't there something you'd like to say to me? Ira: No. Now, Dr. Hofstadter. Can you walk us through the process you used to disprove his theory? Leonard: Well… Sheldon: I believe I can answer that. Leonard: He asked me. Sheldon: Fine Leonard: As I was saying Sheldon: You're telling it wrong 你说的不对, 你说错了. Ira, to really understand the story here, you have to start at the very beginning. A small town in East Texas, where a young genius named…Leonard: Sheldon. Sheldon: That's right, Sheldon Cooper. He was bitten by his neighbour's dog, leading to his first scientific breakthrough, the doggie death-ray. Which, sadly, he couldn't build because Santa wouldn't bring him enriched uranium. Ira: You know, I'd really like to hear it from 想听...来说 Dr. Hofstadter, if it's okay with you.Sheldon: What a surprise. Did you invite me back just so you could ignore me?
