Series 6 Episode 07 – The Habitation Configuration

1. Sheldon: Hello, I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Welcome to Sheldon Cooper Presents Fun with Flags. Before we get started, I'd like to announce the winner of our design your own flag competition. But I can't. The only entry was from GameyGamer75, and I know that was a jpeg of your buttocks. Now this week we have a very special episode where we explore the flags of the popular entertainment franchise, Star Trek. And to help me, I'm pleased to introduce Internet personality网络名人, former star of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the only guy I know lucky enough to be immortalized ( 不朽 to make someone or something famous for a very long time, for example by writing about them or by painting them. Rouen cathedral was immortalized by Monet in his paintings.) in one sixteenth scale. Set phasers to fun(Set phasers to stun An oft heard phrase in any Star Trek movie or series. Setting phasers to stun indicates that the crew is not to engage in fatal action and thus only incapacitating the enemy for capture or to engage in diplomatic discussion after having achieved military superiority. "Set phasers to stun!" - Any captain or ranking officer of Star Trek. ) for my friend, Wil Wheaton. Wil: Hi, Sheldon. Thanks for having me. I'm happy to be here. Amy: Cut. Sheldon: What's wrong? Amy: Sorry, Sheldon, you were brilliant as always. Wil, that was a little wooden(wooden I. [usually before noun] made of wood. a wooden box/floor/chair. II. 木然的, 发木的, 木呆呆的 an actor who is wooden does not express enough emotion in their performance. His wooden delivery of the lines. a. a dancer who is wooden moves in a very stiff way that does not look natural or graceful.). Wil: Wooden? Amy: Don't worry, it wasn't terrible. Just, this time, try to say it the way people sound. And action. Sheldon: My friend, Wil Wheaton. Wil: Hi, Sheldon. Thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here. Sheldon: So, Wil, what do you have for us first? Wil: Well, this is an exciting one. This is the flag of the United Federation of Planets. Now what's interesting about this flag… Amy: Cut. Wil: What was wrong with that? Amy: It's called Fun with Flags. They're not at half-mast, nobody died. Let's try and keep it upbeat开心一点, 活泼一点. Wil: Um, no offence, but I've been acting since I was a kid. I think I can handle a Web show without a lot of direction. Sheldon: It's true. In 1982, Wil played the voice of Martin the mouse in The Secret of NIMH. You moved me感动. Amy: You'll have to forgive me. This is my first time directing, I just want it to be good. Wil: So do I. Amy: Great. So, this time let's try more real boy, less Pinocchio. And action. Wil: And cut. You realize that I'm doing this for free, right? Amy: Yes. And so far, we're still not getting our money's worth. Let's try it again. Everybody's having fun. And action. Sheldon: So, Wil, what do you have for us first? Wil: Well, this is an exciting one. This is the flag of the United Federation of Planets. Amy: Cut. Wil: Problem, first-time director? Sheldon: Oh, none that I could see我看不出什么问题. I saw a man who loved flags almost as much as I do. I got goose bumps. Amy: He was overacting on purpose. Sheldon: Really? He reminded me of a young William Shatner. Wil: Listen, Sheldon, I'm really happy to do this for you, but not if she's gonna be a huge pain in the ass the whole time. Amy: You gonna let him speak to me like that? Sheldon: Well, you're my girlfriend and I don't want you to be upset. Then again, Wil Wheaton's my friend and I don't want him to be upset. Hmm, this is a sticky wicket( Sticky wicket is a metaphor used to describe a difficult circumstance. It originated as a term for difficult circumstances in the sport of cricket, caused by a damp and soft pitch. The phrase comes from the game of cricket. The pitch in cricket is also known as "the wicket" (According to the Laws of Cricket, this usage is incorrect, but it is in common usage and commonly understood by cricket followers. It can be affected by rain and the sun, causing the ball to bounce unpredictably: a pitch which had been wet would become increasingly difficult to bat on, as it dried out. Such a pitch was referred to as a "sticky wicket" for a batsman because the ball's bounces are unpredictable. Such wickets are far less common in cricket since matches stopped being played on uncovered pitches.). (To Wil) What do you think? Amy: Can I speak to you for a second? Sheldon: I'll be right back. Feel free to play with yourself. Amy: I don't care for your friend, he's being rude to me. You need to ask him to leave. Sheldon: Amy, I can't just ask Wil Wheaton to leave. He's a minor celebrity小明星, 小名人. Once you explain who he is, many people recognize him. Amy: Fine. Then maybe I should go. Sheldon: Could you? That would solve everything. You are the best. I'll see you at dinner tonight? Amy: You sure you wouldn't rather have dinner with your friend Wil Wheaton? Sheldon: Come to think of it你这么一说我想起来了, I would! You, little lady, are on fire. 2. Bernadette: Every time we eat dinner here, your mother refuses to let me help with the dishes. Howard: Don't take it personally. She likes doing them by herself so she can lick the plates with no one looking. Bernadette: You ready to go? Howard: Yeah, let me just grab a couple of fresh turtlenecks. Bernadette: I don't understand why you keep your stuff here when there's plenty of room at home. Howard: What are you talking about? All I have here is a few sweaters, books, bank stuff, computers, mail, collectibles, medicine and my electric body groomer. Ooh, there's my plaid( [plæd] Plaid (苏格兰布料那种2个货多个颜色组成的格子) is the U.S. & Canadian English word for Tartan, a pattern consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical bands in two or more colours in woven cloth. A check 单一颜色的格子 (also checker, Brit: chequer) is a pattern of modified stripes consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical lines forming squares. Tartan 棱形格子的, 斜格子的 is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials. The kilt 苏格兰裙 is a knee-length garment with pleats at the rear, originating in the traditional dress of men and boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century. It is most often made of woollen cloth in a tartan pattern. Flannel 法兰绒(是一种布料, 经常做成格子形式的) is a soft woven fabric, of various fineness. Flannel was originally made from carded wool or worsted yarn, but is now often made from either wool, cotton, or synthetic fibre. Flannel may be brushed to create extra softness or remain unbrushed. ) 格子的 dickie(A dickey (alternately written as dickie or dicky(仅有前胸和后背的假领子); sometimes known in American English as a tuxedo front or tux front) is a type of false shirt-front - originally known as a detachable bosom - designed to be worn with a tuxedo or men's white tie, usually attached to the collar and then tucked into the waistcoat or cummerbund. Better dickies have a trouser tab at the end to secure them down, preventing the dickey from comically 滑稽可笑的 popping out. The rigid plastic dickey came into fashion in the latter years of the 19th century, and was one of the first successful commercial applications of celluloid.). Oh, got this at the Goodwill store for 50 cents. Can you believe it? Bernadette: 50 cents sounds right. Let's go. Howard: You know, it's kinda late. Why don't we just spend the night here? Bernadette: Because we don't live here. Howard: I know. Bernadette: Do you? You said when you got back from space you were gonna move into my apartment, but half the time we stay here. Howard: That's not true. Mrs Wolowitz (off): Howard, I'm doing laundry. You want me to put anything in for you? Howard: There's some underwear in the hamper ( A hamper refers to a set of related basket-like items. In primarily British usage, it refers to a wicker basket柳条箱, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food. In North America, the term generally refers to a household 家用的 receptacle(=container 收纳箱), often a basket, for clean (out of the dryer or off the line) or dirty clothing, regardless of its composition, i.e. "a laundry hamper". ).

Howard: Thank you, I only put it on the list two weeks ago. Okay, I see what you're getting at(get at something I. to manage to reach or touch something. I keep the sweets up here where the children can't get at them. II. [usually progressive] to try to suggest something without saying it directly. What are you getting at?

How about this weekend I'll box up 装箱 all my things and move them to our place. Bernadette: Thank you. Howard: The lightsabers are gonna look great in the living room. Bernadette: Or in the closet. We can decide later. Mrs Wolowitz (off): Howard, help, my hand's stuck in the garbage disposal. Howard: Let go of whatever piece of food you're holding. Mrs Wolowitz (off): Are you kidding? It's a perfectly good chicken leg. 3. Leonard: Hey, look who's out after dark, like a big boy. Sheldon: I was out raising heck with ( raise hell I. 无法无天. to behave in a way that is not controlled. He never skipped classes or got into fights or raised hell. II. to loudly argue or make demands. I've been calling them every day, raising hell about it, but they told me I may have to wait until Thursday to get the software. ) Mr. Wil Wheaton. Four hours more and we would have closed down the HomeTown Buffet. Leonard: I thought you had plans with Amy. Sheldon: Yeah, I did, but then Wil called Amy a pain in the A-S-S. She got huffy ( angry and upset because people have offended you or will not do what you want. ) and left, then Wil and I headed out to dinner. That place really did remind me of my hometown. Because there we also have a HomeTown Buffet. Leonard: Hold on. Wil and Amy had an argument? Sheldon: Yes, quite the kerfuffle(a lot of talk, activity, or worry about something that is not important.). Leonard: Then Amy got mad and left? Sheldon: Walked right out the door. Leonard: And you? Sheldon: Enjoyed a delightful dinner at a reasonable price. The manager recognized Wil and let us sit right next to the frozen yoghurt machine. Right next to it. I was closer to it than I am to you right now. Leonard: Buddy, I think Amy might be upset. Sheldon: Why's that? Leonard: Because your friend was rude to her, and then you went to dinner with him. Sheldon: You're just repeating what I said. It's like living with a lactose-intolerant parrot. Leonard: Trust me, call her. Sheldon: Fine. It's a shame you didn't go to dinner with us, because the buffet you're about to enjoy only serves humble pie, a dessert much less tasty than frozen yoghurt. I was this close. Amy (on skype): What? Sheldon: You'll appreciate this. Leonard has some ridiculous notion that you're mad at me. Tell him you're not mad at me. Go ahead, set him straight. Amy: I'm mad at you, Sheldon. Sheldon: Hmm. Eat one of your Luna bars. Very often when women think they're angry, they're really just hungry. Amy: I'm not hungry. Your friend insulted me, and you didn't do anything. Sheldon: Precisely, I didn't do anything. Now does someone feel like checking her emotional math? Leonard: Keep going, buddy, you're doing great. Amy: Sheldon, I'm your girlfriend, and you should have taken my side. That's it. End of story. Good night. Sheldon: Wow, Amy's mad and Leonard was right. What a weird day. 4. Penny: Hey.

Penny: No, I'm a terrible waitress, remember? Bernadette: So, is there anything I can do to help you with the move tomorrow? Howard: Now that you mention it, I was thinking tomorrow might not be great. Bernadette: What's your excuse this time? Howard: No excuse. It's just, you know, I'm Jewish, and technically, we're not supposed to drive or carry anything on the Sabbath. So this one's on God. Bernadette: That might be a little more convincing if you didn't have a mouthful of bacon cheeseburger. Howard: My religion's kinda loosey-goosey( loosey-goosey 轻松的, 放松的, 随便的 relaxed; laid back. So while my summers were probably a little more unstructured than my sons', it was not all loosey goosey.). Basically, as long as you got your schmekel clipped and don't wear a cross, you're good. Bernadette: Howie, you promised you'd move. Howard: And I will. Penny: Yeah, right. Howard: I will. I'm obviously not going to live in my mother's house for the rest of my life. I'm not a child. Penny: I've seen her burp you. Howard: She did not burp me. She was patting me on the back, and I happened to burp. Don't you have other tables you should be waiting on? Penny: Yeah, but I told you, I'm not good at my job. Bernadette, listen to me. He is never gonna leave. Bernadette: I'm starting to think you're right. Howard: All right, I've had enough of this. I'm a grown man, I have a successful career, for the love of God, I've been to space. I will move out when I'm ready, and I don't need anyone badgering me into it( badger 央告, 央求, 催促 to try to make someone do something by asking them many times. They keep badgering me to take them to the show. ). Penny: Wow, excuse me. Howard: That was just for her benefit. I'll move tomorrow. I love you. Don't leave me. 5.

Right here is where my mom used to mark my height. Leonard: Oh, yeah. Fifth grade. Sixth grade. Seventh grade. Eighth grade. Ninth grade. Howard: I remember when I was five, hiding under this desk with all my Halloween candy. Had some Peanut M&M'S, went into my first anaphylactic shock and had to be rushed to the hospital.

II. informal noise that you hear on a radio or television when the signal is bad. III. the fuzz informal old-fashioned an insulting word for the police. ) in weird places?

And for the record, I had a full pubis of hair by the time I was 19. Penny: And for the record, bleugh. So what are you drinking想喝点什么? Sheldon: Well, it's been a rough day. I usually go chamomile tea(camomile /ˈkæməmaɪl/ 去火的 a plant with small white flowers with yellow centres, used for making a type of tea.), but I don't think that's going to cut it. Penny: You could have a Long Island Iced Tea. Sheldon: Will that calm my nerves? Penny: It's calmed the pants off me a couple of times. Sheldon: Sold信你了. Penny: Oh. So, the heart you got from the wizard giving you trouble? Sheldon: The trouble isn't with me, Penny, it's with your gender. Someday, scientists will discover that second X chromosome contains nothing but nonsense and twaddle( [ˈtwod(ə)l] 废话连篇. nonsense. Empty or silly idle talk or writing; nonsense, rubbish. What a load of twaddle!). Penny: Yeah, Amy told me what happened. Look, just apologize. It'll warm her twaddle. Sheldon: It's a Band-Aid at best. See, the core problem is that Amy and Wil do not like each other. Which is baffling because they're both crazy about me. And I like them, which indicates 说明 they're bright and interesting and/or were on Star Trek. Penny: Honey, you can't make people like each other. Sheldon: Not true. Leonard made me like you. And let me tell you, that was a hard row to hoe( a hard/tough row(rəu) to hoe  (American) a difficult situation to deal with Teachers have a tough row to hoe in today's schools. kick up a storm/stink/row/fuss 搞得鸡犬不宁的 Fig. to become a nuisance; to misbehave and disturb (someone).

I think I know what I'm doing. Penny: Far be it from me to ( far be it from/for me (to do something) 我不应该说, 我没有立场说 it is not really my place to do something.

Sheldon: My problem is I'm out of tea. Penny: Come on, someone insulted your girlfriend and you just let him do it. I thought you Texas guys stood up for your womenfolk女同胞.

We ate in a rustic inn near the sea. a rustic charm virtually unchanged through the centuries. II. made from wood or other material with a rough surface. ). Penny: Sorry.

Penny: Welcome to Long Island, Tex. Sheldon: Amy deserves better. You know, when we buy the Planter's deluxe mix, she eats all the Brazil nuts so I don't have to look at them.

Sheldon: I'm a callous [ˈkæləs] egomaniac自大狂, 自以为是([ˌi:ɡəuˈmeiniæk] someone who behaves in an unreasonable or crazy way because they think that they and their ideas are extremely important. a callous disregard for human life and the environment.). She's gonna leave me. Penny: No, she won't. Sheldon: No, she won't. I'm great. 7. Howard: Okay, I have now officially moved out of my mother's house. You are now the only woman in my life who I'll see naked in the bathroom. Bernadette: I know this wasn't easy. You doing okay? Howard: Oh, I'm fine. It's just her I'm worried about. Bernadette: Aw, she'll be okay. She's a grown woman. Howard: I know. It's just ever since my dad left, I've felt responsible for her. Bernadette: That's a lot for a kid to deal with. Howard: She was just so sad all the time. I was the only person who could cheer her up. Well, me and Ben and Jerry. Bernadette: She's lucky you were there. Howard: You know, she's why I first got into magic. I would do little shows for her, hang up a bedsheet like it was a curtain, put on a top hat and cape. And part way ( 半路上 To a certain degree or distance; in part.  some of the way; partly: I stopped reading partway through the chapter. partway to town; not even partway reasonable.) through the act, I would say I needed a volunteer from the audience to be my beautiful assistant and invite her up on stage. I can still remember the way she'd smile. For a few minutes, she'd forget how lonely she was. Bernadette: Aw, crap. Let's go. Howard: Where we going? Bernadette: Grab a box. We'll sleep at your mother's place tonight. Howard: No, but I want to live here. Bernadette: Well, you should've thought of that before you told me the stupid magic trick story. Howard: Can't we talk about this? Bernadette: No husband of mine is gonna break his mother's heart! 8. Sheldon: (Knock, knock, knock) Wil Wheaton! (Knock, knock, knock) Wil Wheaton! Wait, how many was that? Wil: Hey, Sheldon, what's up? Sheldon: Wouldn't you like to know? Wil: Have you been drinking? Sheldon: Just tea. S'the best tea I've ever had. Wil: Why are you here? Sheldon: I'll tell you. I'm from Texas. Need I say more需要我多说吗? Wil: Yeah, actually, a little more would be helpful. Sheldon: You insulted my woman. I'm here to defend her honour. Two! It was two. (Knock, knock, knock) Wil Wheaton! Now prepare yourself for what may come. Wil: Oh, Sheldon, do you really think we're gonna fight? Sheldon: My fists are not up here because I'm milking a giant invisible cow. They're up to beat an apology out of you. Wil: Okay, I'm sorry. Sheldon: Well, that was a long bus ride for not very much. Wil: Are you okay? Sheldon: You're asking a lot of questions, Wil Wheaton. As a matter of idle curiosity闲着无聊而好奇, which of your shrubberies do you feel would benefit from a thorough vomiting? Never mind, I'll choose. (Vomits) You were so good in Stand by Me. 9. Sheldon: Hello, I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Welcome to Sheldon Cooper Presents Fun with Flags. Get ready for a very special episode where we explore the flags of the popular entertainment franchise, Star Trek. And to help us, I'm pleased to introduce a special guest, surprisingly, it only took gas money 油钱 and the promise of free food to get him here, Mr. LeVar Burton. LeVar: Hey, Sheldon, it's a pleasure to be here. Well, we've got some interesting flags for… Amy: Cut. Yikes, this guy is worse than Wil Wheaton. Sheldon: I don't know what she's talking about, but I'm obligated [ˈoblɪˌɡeɪtɪd] ( be/feel obligated to do something formal I. if you are obligated to do something, you must do it because it is your duty or it is morally right.
