aroma (嗅觉加味觉感受, 尤其是制作过程中的香味) VS fragrance (清新的)香气(纯粹的嗅觉, 花香, 香水香, 等香甜的感觉) VS smell VS odor VS scent VS perfumed( pleasant to smell because perfume has been added or used. perfumed soap/candles/powder. a. mainly literary pleasant to smell because of natural qualities. perfumed fruits 香甜的. ): 1. Fragrance is usually only used to refer to a sweet smell, such as those of flowers, perfumes, and sometimes some food items. Aroma tends to be used for less sweet smells. e.g. You could say that mushrooms have an earthy aroma - you would usually not refer to them as being fragrant. Both words have their similarities as well as subtle differences. For a start, both words describe pleasant smells, with "fragrance" defining a sweet pleasant smell. "Fragrance" is the pleasant scent of something, but "aroma" is something that encompasses more than a pleasant smell. Something that is aromatic gives off a distinct pleasant odour and can also tantalise our taste buds. As an example, when we stand beside a batch of roasted coffee beans, we know the smell is emanating from coffee beans as we recognise its fragrance. After ordering a cuppa, we sit down and allow the smell to waft into our nostrils before taking a sip. The taste of the coffee could be acidic, smoky, fruity or floral. The smell and the delicious taste of the coffee makes up its aroma. That is why we hear people commenting on the "fragrance" of a cologne or rose but others enjoy the aroma of coffee or tea. A fragrance is a odor that is multilevel and has many different facets and is usually referring to something pleasant smelling. Examples could be the fragrance coming from a bouquet of flowers or the fragrance of shampoo. An aroma is an odor that is usually emitted while something is being done which created the odor. Examples could be the aroma of coffee while a coffee pot is brewing and the of a loaf of bread being baked would be an aroma. Even the odor of a dead animal decomposing would be referred to as an aroma over fragrant because the body is in the act of decaying. Fragrance: A fragrance is simply the unit of smell or the scent of something. When you smell something, fragrance enables you to say, "Oh, that smells like coffee." When referencing coffee specifically, dry coffee grounds have fragrance. Add water to the coffee and Shazam!—You now have aroma. Aroma: The aroma of something is more encompassing. It's not just scent. It's also the flavor 风味 and mouthfeel 口感. Though they are similar in some aspects, fragrance and aroma are different, especially when revealed during a cupping. Fragrance vs. Aroma: Scent, or fragrance, is processed one way through our noses. Aroma is processed two ways through our nose as well as retro-nasally. Retronasal is when a smell is first processed via your taste buds. When you slurp coffee, the aromas then drift up and the smell receptors in your nose add the scent to the flavor to produce an aromatic profile. During cupping, it's important to document what you experience in both fragrance and aroma. We do this because some attributes of the coffee can be present and strong before we brew it and disappear when brewed, and vice versa. emanate [ˈeməˌneɪt]: I. 散发出来的. 飘散着. If a quality emanates from you, or if you emanate a quality, you give people a strong sense that you have that quality. [formal]. warmth emanated from the fireplace. she felt an undeniable charm emanating from him. Intelligence and cunning emanated from him. He emanates sympathy. II. If something emanates from somewhere, it comes from there. The heady aroma of wood fires emanated from the stove. ...reports emanating from America. When you use the word emanate, you're usually talking about lights, sounds, or unseen forces coming out of a specific source. If you hear creepy sounds emanating from an old house, that might mean it's haunted. Emanate derives from the Latin e- 'out' and manare to flow. We have spent a lot of time over the course of the last two days talking about how to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific," Pompeo said. "That emanates from a lot of places - certainly China poses concerns there." Bishop said her AUSMIN talks confirmed "the US is very clear-eyed 心知肚明的 about Russia's behaviour", despite last week's controversial closed-door meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. 2. Pungency(pungent [ˈpʌndʒənt] 辣味. 刺鼻气味, 刺鼻味道 I. a pungent taste or smell is very strong and sharp. II. pungent comments or remarks criticize something in a direct and effective way.) is the condition of having a strong, sharp smell or flavor that is often so strong that it is unpleasant. For example, the pungent smell of a dirty animal. Pungency is the technical term used by scientists to refer to the characteristic of food commonly referred to as spiciness or hotness and sometimes heat, which is found in foods such as chili peppers. The term piquancy 下饭的, 引起食欲的 ([ˈpiːkənsi] piquant [piːkənt , -kɑːnt] adj. I. Food that is piquant has a pleasantly spicy taste. [written] ...a crisp mixed salad with an unusually piquant dressing. A little mustard is served on the side to add further piquancy. II. Something that is piquant is interesting and exciting. [written] There may well have been a piquant novelty about her books when they came out. ) is sometimes applied to foods with a lower degree of pungency that are "agreeably stimulating to the palate [pælɪt] 刺激味蕾(I. Your palate is the top part of the inside of your mouth. II. You can refer to someone's palate as a way of talking about their ability to judge good food or drink. ...fresh pasta sauces to tempt more demanding palates. ...a discerning palate 嘴屌, 瞒不过的, 对味道敏感的.)." Examples of piquant food include mustard and curry. The terms "pungent" ([ˈpʌndʒənt] (About this sound listen)) and "pungency" are rarely used in colloquial speech but are preferred by scientists as they eliminate the potential ambiguity arising from use of the words "hot" and "spicy", which can also refer to temperature and the presence of spices, respectively. 味道: Of the three chemical senses, smell is the main determinant of a food item's flavor. Five basic tastes – sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami (savory: I. pleasant to smell or taste. a deliciously savory aroma. II. [usually in negatives] morally or socially good. one of the less savory areas of the city. III. mainly British tasting of salt or spices and not sweet. ) are universally recognized, although some cultures also include pungency and oleogustus ("fattiness"). The number of food smells is unbounded; a food's flavor, therefore, can be easily altered by changing its smell while keeping its taste similar. 3. fragrant adj. 芳香的 having a pleasing scent: a fragrant rose. fragrance, aroma, bouquet, perfume, redolence, scent (芳香的, 香味扑鼻的. scented) These nouns denote a pleasant or sweet odor: the fragrance of lilacs; the aroma of sizzling bacon; the bouquet of a fine wine; the perfume of roses; the redolence of fresh coffee; the scent of newly mown hay. stench, fetor, malodor, reek, stink: These nouns denote a penetrating, objectionable odor: the stench of burning rubber; the fetor of polluted waters; the malodor of diesel fumes; the reek of stale sweat; a stink of decayed flesh. wiki: Odors are also called scents, which can refer to both pleasant and unpleasant odors. The terms fragrance, scent, and aroma [ə'rəumə] 香气, 香味, 芳香 are used primarily by the food and cosmetic industry to describe a pleasant odor, and are sometimes used to refer to perfumes. In contrast, malodor, stench, reek, and stink 臭味, 恶臭 ( stench I. A strong, foul odor; a stink. II. A foul quality: the stench of corrupt government. ) are used specifically to describe unpleasant odors. In the United Kingdom, "odour" refers to scents in general. In the United States, "odor" has a more negative connotation, such as "stench" or "stink"; "scent" or "aroma" are used for pleasant smells. Odor intensity 味道浓度 can be expressed using an odor intensity scale, which is a verbal description of an odor sensation to which a numerical value is assigned. Odor intensity can be divided into the following categories according to intensity: 0 - no odor, 1 - very weak (odor threshold), 2 - weak, 3 - distinct, 4 - strong, 5 - very strong, 6 - intolerable. 4. A sachet [ˈsæʃeɪ] 香囊, 香袋 is a small cloth scented bag filled with herbs, potpourri, or aromatic ingredients. A sachet is also a small porous ( [ˈpɔrəs] I. 满是洞洞的. a porous substance has a lot of very small holes in it so that air and water can pass through it. Something that is porous has many small holes in it, which water and air can pass through. The local limestone is very porous. II. [mainly journalism] not effective in preventing people from attacking or escaping. If something such as a defence or a barrier is porous, it can be penetrated or crossed easily. Mr Balaguer is deploying more soldiers along his country's porous 漏洞百出的 border with Haiti. Once a tough defensive team, the Saints now have the most porous defence in the league. a porous border/defense. ) bag or packet containing a material intended to interact with its atmosphere; for example, desiccants (desiccant [ˈdɛsɪk(ə)nt] a hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent. "natural desiccants cause fleas to dehydrate and die".) are usually packed in sachets which are then placed in larger packages. A sachet can be defined as a small soft bag containing perfumed or sweet-smelling items also referred to as an ascent bag, scent bag, sweet bag, sachet bag, sachet de senteurs, spiced sachet, potpourri sachet, scented sachet, perfume cushion, smelling cushion, scented cushion, fragrant bag, pomander and "dream pillow." Potpourri [ˌpoupuˈriː] 干花 is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant material, used to provide a gentle natural scent, commonly in residential settings. It is often placed in a decorative bowl or tied in small sachet made from sheer fabric. The word "potpourri" comes into English from the French word pot-pourri. The French term has two connotations. It is the French name for a Spanish stew with a wide variety of ingredients called "olla podrida", a specialty of the town of Burgos. The word was taken and copied by the French military during the Napoleonic occupation of Burgos (1808-1813). The word pot in French has the same meaning as it does in Spanish and English, while the word pourri means rotten. 5. 短句: a. In late autumn when the fruit changes colour to yellow with hard, strongly perfumed 水果香味的, 有香味的 flesh 果肉. b. The public's not going to know whether it's true or whether it isn't, and even if it's not true, there is so much of it that there is an aroma, there is a stink around 有说好的, 有说坏的, 众说纷纭 my handling the case. 6. aromatic [ˌærəˈmætɪk] 有香味的, 有香气的 an aromatic plant, substance, or food smells especially good. aromatic herbs/leaves/soap. aroma [əˈroumə] a smell that is strong but pleasant. the aroma of bread baking. aromatherapy [əˌrouməˈθerəpi] a health treatment in which oils with a nice smell are rubbed into your skin to make you feel relaxed. Someone who is trained to do aromatherapy is called an aromatherapist. Aromatherapy massage is a popular item on a spa's menu. In this type of treatment, fragrant therapeutic essential oils 精油(An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived.) are used to activate healing properties in your body. Whether you need to relax, ease muscle tension, or clear out the remnants of a cold, essential oil added to a carrier oil can help alleviate most symptoms. The next time you're traveling and pop into an upscale spa, opt for an aromatherapy massage for a special spin on the traditional rub-down.

To get the bug for something or be bitten by the bug for something is an idiomatic way of saying you have become passionately interested in that something. I have got the bug for running marathons whenever I can! A friend took me motor racing a couple of times and I found I really got the bug for it and, after that, I went to every race of the season. My boyfriend was into salsa dancing but I didn't think I could do it because I'm no good at dancing. But I took a course of 10 lessons and got the bug for it – we're local salsa champions now! 2. come together (on something) to discuss and agree on something. I hope we can come together on a price.

Modern papers are now made from a wide variety of materials including rice, hemp, and flax, and are also available in flavored varieties. Miley Cyrus Confirms She Smoked a Joint at EMAs: 'I Knew the Fans Would Love It'.

With son Flynn firmly attached to her hip, the stunning 30-year-old supermodel proved she didn't need any digital-enhancing as she walked through New York City looking effortlessly stylish. The newly-singled mother and her adorable toddler could have have walked straight into a photo shoot with their stylish matching 搭配的 leather-clad outfits. Kerr had a black scarf around her neck to stay warm, and aviator glasses to ward off the winter sun. Just in case the temperature suddenly dropped突然降温, she kept a denim shirt tied around her waist as an extra layer. Meanwhile Flynn, who will turn three in January, could have been in a Gap Kids commercial with his own little leather jacket, tartan trousers格子裤子 and bouffant brown hair. The Victoria's Secret model added to her statuesque height with black heeled boots that made her legs look even slimmer. With great genes 优良基因 coming from both his parents, her son by Orlando Bloom looked like a junior James Dean in his tough boy outfit. If Miranda ever wants him to follow in her footsteps in the modeling industry, it is clear by his chiseled good looks and photogenic smile that he won't have any trouble finding work.
How you strike a selfie pose says a lot about you: Before smartphones and social media, there was one way to look in a photo: drag a smile across your face, throw a "V-sign" if you were 14, and if you were feeling particularly jaunty, drop your jaw several inches and say a facetious(facetious [fəˈsi:ʃəs] I. Playfully jocular; humorous. jocular or amusing, esp at inappropriate times. facetious remarks. II. characterized by levity of attitude and love of joking. a facetious person.) "ta-da!" No one knew to put their hand on their hip, or turn slightly to one side. No one had a programme for what to do with their eyes, beyond vaguely trying to keep them open. And while, on a good day, you might make a kissy face that popped out your cheekbones, any beneficial effect probably wasn't deliberate. If you scroll down your various timelines today, what you see is this: half your social group posing with lips pushed out, one leg crossed in front of the other at the ankle and something terrifying going on around the eyes, which comes, as we know, from watching too many pre-awards red carpet shows看颁奖典礼看多了 or taking Next Top Model to heart(I. 太当回事. 放在心上. if you take criticism or advice to heart, you think about it seriously, often because it upsets you. Don't take it to heart - he was only joking about your hair. II. 当真, 信以为真. to consider something very seriously. to consider that some comment is significant to oneself. Mary listened to Bob's advice and took it all to heart. All Sue's advice was taken to heart by the show committee. Everything he said is true, and I hope people will take it to heart. ). There's nothing new about trying to look good in a photo. But if it is going to be shared with everyone you know, and a lot of people you don't, you'd better have some sort of system worked out. I realise I'm talking mostly about women here – although Justin Bieber has done his bit to alert men to the possibilities of finding a workable camera face and sticking to it. In Bieber's case: mouth a tiny bit open, eyebrows slightly raised, looking up at the lens as if roughly woken from sleep and still in a state of prelapsarian innocence. Try it. If you're not Bieber, I guarantee horrific results. These poses are perfected over the course of thousands of self-taken photos and in fact, Bieber, pushing the boundaries of the medium, has just invested in a start-up called Shots For Me – an app designed solely for the taking and exchanging of selfies. It's a kind of transactional narcissim, like those conversations where the only reason you're listening is because at some point you know it will stop and you can talk about yourself. It's also a natural extension of what those in Hollywood have always known: that the over-photographed need a single expression, to promote or undermine an idea of themselves. Here are some examples: Vince Vaughn Vaughn in the current publicity poster 宣传照 for his film, Delivery Man, with his customary single expression: two parts sheepish to one part baffled二分娇羞, 一分迷惑. Lacking public personas or a well defined image, there are only broad templates for the masses to go by. Over the last five years we've moved from prune face, to duck face, to what, in the vanguard of Japanese selfies, is now known as sparrow face – in Japanese, the word for this expression translates as either "chirp" or "cheep". Basically, a face like a startled chorister. Trying to be Tyra Banks, with her whole smiling-with-your-eyes thing眼含笑意, is a dangerous undertaking for a non-model and can land you in that unhappy place between bushbaby, psychopath and someone doing a Diana impression. Ten years ago, the very notion of having a default look was so ludicrous as to be the subject of satire. It's still ludicrous, but it doesn't matter any more because everyone is doing it. We're all Zoolander now.
The Big Bang Theory S7E5 - The Workplace Proximity: 1. Penny: Awkward silence, Sheldon on his phone, no touching. Somebody's having date night(date night a prearranged occasion on which an established couple老夫老妻, especially one with children, go for a night out together.

Sheldon: Oh, no, I got bored with that.

They are necessary for proper skin care and to prevent infection if a hangnail develops. A hangnail is a torn strip of skin near the nail that can be very painful and can easily become infected. Cuticle scissors, also known as cuticle trimmers, have extra sharp, curved blades to better fit the area around the nail. They are often used during manicures or pedicures once the cuticle has been gently pushed back with a cuticle stick, also called an orange stick. Some beauty experts say that you should cut your cuticles for a "perfect" manicure, while others say the cuticle should not be cut because it provides a barrier against infections. Ultimately, it remains your choice whether you trim your cuticles or not.) on Amazon. Penny: How do you not tear off his clothes and take him right here on this table?

Come on, one. Amy: I've been invited to consult on an experiment at your university for a few months. Isn't that great? We could have lunch together. We could carpool. Sheldon: You know, riding with Leonard has gotten a little tedious ([ˈti:dɪəs] causing fatigue or tedium; monotonous. Tiresome by reason of length, slowness, or dullness; boring.) lately. The only car game he ever wants to play is the Quiet Game. And he's terrible at it, I always win. Amy: So, you're okay with this? Sheldon: Well, why wouldn't I be? Amy: Well, this project would have us working in close proximity to one another. And there's the vulgar adage ( adage [ˈædidʒ] a traditional saying that is accepted by many as true or partially true; proverb. ) that one should not defecate where one eats. Sheldon: My father used to say that all the time. That and, um, who does one have to orally gratify to get a drink around here? But what does that have to do with you working at the university? Amy: Sheldon, don't defecate where you eat means don't have a romantic relationship in the workplace. Sheldon: Really? Amy: Yes. Sheldon: Huh. Yeah, I always took it literally. That's why I have never once moved my bowels in this or any restaurant. Hmm. Amy: I'm relieved that松了一口气 you don't have a problem with us working together. Sheldon: Not as relieved as I'm about to be. It's a brave new world, little lady. 3. Howard: Are you crazy? You don't want your girlfriend at work with you. Hell Clam. Sheldon: Why not? Hairy Fairy. Raj: I think it could be romantic. You know, my parents met at his place of work. Leonard: Your father's a gynaecologist([ˌɡaɪnɪˈkolədʒɪst] 美国人拼做gynecologist 读作 [ˌɡaɪnEˈkolədʒɪst]). Raj: I know. What started as a pap smear 宫颈癌测试 ( The Papanicolaou test (also called Pap smear, Pap test, cervical smear, or smear test) is a screening test used to detect potentially pre-cancerous and cancerous processes in the endocervical canal (transformation zone) of the female reproductive system. Unusual findings are often followed up by more sensitive diagnostic procedures, and, if warranted, interventions that aim to prevent progression to cervical cancer. The test was invented by and named after the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou. ) turned into a date. Which turned into her working there, which turned into marriage, which then turned into hatred, which continues to this day. Two-Eyed Cyclops. Howard: Would you please tell him this isn't a good idea? Leonard: No, no, I think it'll be great. Maybe next time he gets conjunctivitis ( Conjunctivitis 红眼病, 结膜炎 (also called pink eye or madras eye in India) is inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids). It is commonly due to an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial. ) or an allergic reaction. ) at work, she can hold his head and try to put the drops in his eyes. Giant baby. Sheldon: That's a Raging Ogre. Leonard: Yeah, I know. Howard: I'm just saying, I'd never want to work with Bernadette. Can you imagine seeing someone all day long and then you're supposed to hang out with them after work, too? Raj: Hold on. We do that all the time. You and I work together and play together. Howard: Yeah, I know, and it drove me into the arms of 投向另一个女人的怀抱 another woman. Bipolar Bear. Sheldon: Well, I appreciate your concern谢谢你的关心, but I won't be seeing any more of Amy than I already do. I assume we'll deduct 减去 any extra time we spend together at work from our weekly quota. Leonard: Please let me be there when you tell her that. Sheldon: Why? So you can see the look on Amy's face when she hears my top-notch idea? Leonard: Please, oh, please, just let me be there. 4. Bernadette: So, Amy, what are you gonna be working on at Caltech? Amy: I'm leading a study to see if deficiency of the monoamine oxidase enzyme leads to paralyzing fear in monkeys. Bernadette: If they're anything like humans, the answer's yes. Amy: Wait, you've, you've done this experiment on humans? Bernadette: You mean like death row inmates死囚, 死刑犯 with nothing to lose? No, that would be unethical不道德的. Penny: You know, not a lot of people know this, but the monoamine oxidase enzyme was discovered by a woman, Mary Bernheim. That's right, my phone is just as smart as you guys. 5. Sheldon (off): (Knock, knock, knock) Amy, Bernadette, Penny. Bernadette: He's never gonna stop doing that, is he? Amy: I don't mind. I'm hoping to put his love of repetition to good use 好好利用一番, 充分使用( put something to (good) use to apply a skill or ability; to use a skill or ability. Employ to the best advantage. I'm sure this dictionary will be put to good use. The lawyer put her training to good use for the charity. The pianist put his talents to use at the party. ) someday. Sheldon: Hi. Um, I've reconsidered. Uh, you can't work where I work. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Amy: Sheldon. I already signed the contract. I cashed a cheque. Sheldon: Mmm, you are not going to come out of this looking good有好结果. Penny: Sheldon, I don't understand. I thought you said you were fine with it. Sheldon: Well, I was. But that was before Howard explained to me how awful it would be if he had to work with his significant other. Bernadette: He said what? Sheldon: Now, don't be insulted. He just thinks too much of you would be mind-numbingly 让人麻木的, 让人没有感觉的 tedious无聊的. Bernadette: Excuse me, I need to have a chat with my husband. Sheldon: Yeah, well, now, well, keep it short. From what I gather(据我所知 In the present, it means from what I have come to understand. In the past, the information is what I had come to understand. From what I gather, the weather will be tonight. From what I gathered (in some previous conversation probably), he was still mad. Or from what I gathered, he is still mad. gather something from something I. to collect something from something.

The comedian was in the middle of a long, tedious story when someone in the audience shouted, "Brevity is the soul of wit!"). So, are we good here我们没问题吧? Amy: No, we're not good here. I am working on this project. Penny: Yeah, and you can't tell her what she can and cannot do. Sheldon: Last week, you told Leonard he couldn't wear his Wookie jacket out in public. Penny: That's different. I'm not going to the mall with someone dressed like a dumb space bear. Amy: Sheldon, you don't have to worry about me bothering you. I'll be in a different building. And we don't even have to have lunch together. Sheldon: Really? Amy: Yes. Before all things 最重要的是, 首要的是, I'm a scientist. I'm just there to do my work and, with a little luck, scare the living crap out of some monkeys. Sheldon: Hmm. You sure your mothlike personality决不放弃的个性 won't be drawn to this blazing fire 熊熊大火 that is myself? Amy: More and more sure. Sheldon: Well, then, you have my permission. Amy: I didn't ask for your permission. Sheldon: Too late. No backsies(backsies 不能学我 A reciprocal action or consequence, such as immediately tagging the player who has tagged one in a game of tag. Then you will be in trouble because it will kill you to have it taken out again but it will betray your deepest inner truth to tell them No Backsies. Not one to gloat, Thorn did sound amused Monday when asked if he had broken the news to the Mavericks' owner, Mark Cuban: no backsies. urbandict: Originating in the game of tag, no backsies is a maneuver in which a player that is "it" cannot be tagged back immediately following the tagging of another player. No backsies can further be extended into the real world, where people use "no backsies" as a means to avoid doing a task. To invoke the rule, one must simply say "no backsies" before the item or action in question is returned to its original source. Example 2: Alex and Daniel are arguing over whom has to put away all the toys back into the chest. Their mother comes in to threaten them that if a certain thing isn't put away within the next minute, they would both get in trouble. Obeying the unwritten rule that the last one to touch something must put it away, both proceed to argue over who actually touched it last. Daniel picks it up and throws it at Alex, hitting him in the face, and calls out "no backsies." Alex, now bruised from the padlock that their mother wanted put away, now has no option but to return the heavy metal object back to the toy chest.). 6. Howard: No, no, listen to me. Sheldon misunderstood. What I meant was, if we worked together, there'd be too much of me for you, not the other way around. Sheldon: Howard, if you're going to lie to your wife, don't start the sentence with Sheldon misunderstood. That's a dead giveaway(dead giveaway = tip-off 说明了一切, 透漏了信息 something that reveals a fact or an intention completely. The car in the driveway was a dead giveaway that someone was at home.). Bernadette: Well? Howard: Okay, fine. I did say that, and I think it's true. I think if we worked together and lived together, we'd get sick of each other. Sheldon: Yeah, but to be fair, he only said the part about him getting sick of you. Howard: For the love of God, why? Bernadette: What exactly do you think you'd get sick of? Raj: His only options here are to fake a heart attack假装心脏病发作 or have a real one. Howard: It's nothing in particular没什么特别的. I… Bernadette: Is it my voice? Am I too bossy? What? Howard: My arm is feeling numb. Leonard: Nailed it. Bernadette: That's the wrong arm for a heart attack, doofus( [ˈduːfəs] n. 弱智. 蠢驴. Informal chiefly US a slow-witted or stupid person. An incompetent, foolish, or stupid person. ). Howard: My point is, I'm sure there are things about me that would drive you crazy if you had to deal with them all day long. Bernadette: Like looking me in the eye and lying to me? Howard: Oh, well, come on, where am I supposed to look when I lie to you? Bernadette: Find somewhere else to sleep tonight. Howard: Bernie… Sheldon: If it makes you feel any better, Amy and I are fine. I mean, really good. Scene: The cafeteria餐厅. Leonard: So, boys, how was the pyjama party? You guys jump on the bed and sing into hair brushes? Raj: It wasn't a pyjama party. It was just a couple of bros hanging out, giggling, eating cookie dough and watching Princess Bride. Howard: Please, stop talking. Raj: As you wish. Howard: I mean, you know, Sheldon, none of this would've happened if I hadn't tried to help you. Sheldon: Uh, it also wouldn't have happened if, in the early universe, hydrogen was a little more common or a little less common. This is fun. Your turn. 7. Amy: Gentlemen. Raj: Amy. Leonard: Hey. Sheldon: Hello. Leonard: That was kind of icy冰冷的, 冷淡的. You two okay? Sheldon: Oh, we're fine. As Howard advised, she's merely respecting our professional boundaries. Leonard: Smart. Take relationship advice from a man who spent last night braiding Raj's hair. Sheldon: Yeah, you make a good point. It would appear I was worried for nothing. Look at her, desperately wishing she was over here at the cool table. Don't worry, little moth. The flame will come to you. Raj: Oh, uh, on the off chance that Bernadette doesn't call back and apologize, how do you feel about Mexican food for dinner tonight? Howard: I don't know. Sounds kind of heavy. Raj: That's 'cause you always fill up on chips. 8. Amy: And this is Dr. Gunderson from Stockholm. Sheldon: Ah, Sweden. Yeah, home of my favourite Muppet and, uh, second favourite meatball. Okay, the Nordic reputation for lack of humour is well-founded. Boy, is his name Gunderson or No-Funderson? Amy: Where are we going with this你是要干什么, Dr. Cooper? Sheldon: Oh, please, I'm your boyfriend. You call me Sheldon. That's right, I am in a boy-girl relationship with this cute little lump of wool. Amy: Sheldon. Sheldon: It's a physical relationship, too. Hand-holding, hugging, even on hot days. Ow. Okay, here's a new one. Apparently now we kick each other in the shin under the table. How do you like it when I do it to you? Not so much, huh? 9: Amy: Test subject D7, aka Betsy, fear response study. Image number one, Frenchman on bicycle carrying baguettes(A baguette 脆皮的法国长面包 ([bæˈɡɛt]) is "a long thin loaf of French bread" that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust.). No visible reaction. Image number two, sousaphone(The sousaphone [ˈsu:zəˌfəun] 大号 is a brass instrument, related to the tuba and hélicon. It is widely employed in marching band and tanjidor. Designed so that it fits around the body of the musician and is supported by the left shoulder, the sousaphone may be readily played while being carried. The instrument is named after American bandmaster and composer John Philip Sousa, who popularized its use in his band.). Still no reaction. Okay. Let's kick things up a notch(kick it up notch 加强一步 to make something more exciting, intense, or interesting, as a food dish or a social gathering. to increase the intensity of something. ). Image number three, crocodile with a mouthful of monkeys. Okay, now we're talking. Sheldon: Dr. Fowler? Amy: What do you want, Sheldon? Sheldon: Well, I'm done with work, so… ugh! Amy: Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, uh, better? Sheldon: Oh, baguettes. Yes, I like baguettes. What exactly are you doing? Amy: Determining baseline fear levels in capuchin monkeys by measuring their response to visual stimuli. Sheldon: So, goofing off(goof off 无所事事 to avoid work to waste time. John is always goofing off. Quit goofing off and get to work! She spent most of the school day goofing off with her friends. goof-off One who shirks work or responsibility.). As I was saying, I'm done with work and Leonard's not. So good news, you get to take me home. Play your cards right乖一点的话, 聪明一点的话, I'll let you drive me past the lot where the buses park at night. Amy: I can't leave now, Sheldon. I'm very busy. Besides再说了, why would I want to do you a favour after the way you treated me in the cafeteria? Image number four, boa constrictor. Sheldon: What on earth are you talking about? My behaviour in the cafeteria was delightful. Maybe your friend Gunderson needs to head over to IKEA and assemble a sense of humour. Amy: You embarrassed me in front of my colleagues on my first day here. Image number five, kitten in a teacup. Sheldon: Aw. Embarrassed you? Amy: You know what? I don't have time for this. Find another way home想别的方式吧. Sheldon: I'm starting to get the sense that you're angry with me. Amy: Really? What tipped you off你怎么发现的? Sheldon: Couple things, actually. Your tone of voice, your body language… Amy: Get out. Sheldon: Well, now, that. Amy: Image number six, woman giving birth. Sheldon: Bleugh! 10. Leonard: It's nine o'clock, where you been? Sheldon: Oh, I had to take the bus home. Fell asleep and missed my stop坐过站了. Penny: Oh, no. Sheldon: Did you know that Los Angeles has a Little Sri Lanka? Leonard: I did not. Sheldon: Well, I do now. They're a lovely people. Although terrifying when you wake up face-to-face with them. If you're hungry, I brought home some mutton ( Lamb, hogget, and mutton (UK, New Zealand and Australia) are the meat of domestic sheep (species Ovis aries). The meat of a sheep in its first year is lamb; that of a juvenile sheep older than one year is hogget; and the meat of an adult sheep is mutton. Distinct from the meat, a lamb (singular with the indefinite article) or lambs (plural) also describes live juvenile sheep, which may or may not be used for meat. In Australia, the term prime lamb is often used to refer to lambs raised for meat.) and coconut milk. Penny: Why'd you get that? You hate lamb. Sheldon: I was asking for directions. Apparently, there was a communication problem. Leonard: I thought Amy was gonna drive you home. Sheldon: Yeah, I thought so, too, but she's acting very strangely. I was discussing it with a Sri Lankan fellow on the bus, and he hypothesized that a tiger may have recently run across her shadow. Although he may have just been trying to drum up business for 招揽生意, 招徕生意 his brother-in-law's witch doctor practice. Penny: Okay, Sheldon, what happened between you and Amy? Sheldon: Well, can you believe she said I embarrassed her? Penny: Yeah. Sheldon: But you didn't even hear the details. Leonard: Sheldon, I've known you a long time, and I'm going to tell you this with all the love I can possibly muster. Amy's right. You're wrong. Sheldon: But you don't even know… Leonard: Doesn't matter. Sheldon: But, now, but in my defence… Leonard: Doesn't matter. Sheldon: You're not listening to my side of it. Penny: Okay, fine, Sheldon. What is your side? Sheldon: Well… Penny: Nope, got to go with Amy 站在...那边 on this one. 11. Howard: Ooh, shrimp was spicy. Raj: You want a TUMS一种小药片? Howard: You got the tropical fruit kind那种? Raj: No, if I buy those, I just go through them like candy. Howard: Tell me about it. One time, I swear I pooped out a stick of chalk. (Knock on door) I'll get it. Raj: Thanks. Bernadette: I may have overreacted. Howard: Yeah, well, I didn't handle it so great, either. Bernadette: It's just sometimes I feel like you enjoy spending time with your friends more than with me. Howard: That's not true. Bernadette: It's not? You spend all day together at work, and then you all hang out at night playing games, going to the comic book store. Last week, you two got a couples massage. So, when you said you wouldn't want to spend that much time with me, it really hurt my feelings. Howard: Oh, wow. Yeah, no, I get that我明白了. I'm so sorry. Starting tomorrow明天起, 明天开始, I am turning over a new leaf. Time with you is my number one priority. Bernadette: Why tomorrow? Howard: Well, we're real close to finishing off the new Batman game. Raj: It is awesome. Uh, you should probably go after her. Howard: Should I go after you? Bernadette (off): No! Howard: Thanks for getting me in trouble. 12. Amy: Sheldon, what are you doing here so late? Sheldon: I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about what happened earlier between us. Also, I had one heck of a bus nap. Oh, speaking of which, do you want some mutton and coconut milk? Amy: No. Sheldon: Well, I cannot give this stuff away. Amy: What do you want? Sheldon: Amy, this isn't easy to say. All relationships are difficult, but even more so when you're in one with a person who struggles with everyday social interactions. And frankly, who can strike some people as being 给人一种印象 kind of a weirdo. Amy: Sheldon, you're not a weirdo. Sheldon: I wasn't speaking about me. I mean, honestly, there's no telling 根本就说不清楚 what will set you off没有任何迹象你就发火了. You know, introducing myself as your boyfriend. Giving you the opportunity to drive me home. Breaking the ice with your colleagues using ethnic humour, the funniest kind of humour. Amy: What's your point? Sheldon: My point is, we're a couple, and I like you for who you are, quirks and all. Amy: I like you, too. Sheldon: Well, I should hope so. I don't see anyone else banging on this door to put up with your nonsense. Not even a good-bye? You see, that's the kind of thing that makes people think you're weird. Poor kid. She just doesn't see it. 13. Bernadette: I'm not apologizing to Howard. He can come beg me on his knees. Amy: Sheldon, too. If I see him at work, I'm just going to ignore him. Penny: All right, don't worry. I talked to Leonard. He is gonna sit the guys down and set them straight. 14. Leonard: Laser's warmed up. Howard: Pull. All: Yeah!
How you strike a selfie pose says a lot about you: Before smartphones and social media, there was one way to look in a photo: drag a smile across your face, throw a "V-sign" if you were 14, and if you were feeling particularly jaunty, drop your jaw several inches and say a facetious(facetious [fəˈsi:ʃəs] I. Playfully jocular; humorous. jocular or amusing, esp at inappropriate times. facetious remarks. II. characterized by levity of attitude and love of joking. a facetious person.) "ta-da!" No one knew to put their hand on their hip, or turn slightly to one side. No one had a programme for what to do with their eyes, beyond vaguely trying to keep them open. And while, on a good day, you might make a kissy face that popped out your cheekbones, any beneficial effect probably wasn't deliberate. If you scroll down your various timelines today, what you see is this: half your social group posing with lips pushed out, one leg crossed in front of the other at the ankle and something terrifying going on around the eyes, which comes, as we know, from watching too many pre-awards red carpet shows看颁奖典礼看多了 or taking Next Top Model to heart(I. 太当回事. 放在心上. if you take criticism or advice to heart, you think about it seriously, often because it upsets you. Don't take it to heart - he was only joking about your hair. II. 当真, 信以为真. to consider something very seriously. to consider that some comment is significant to oneself. Mary listened to Bob's advice and took it all to heart. All Sue's advice was taken to heart by the show committee. Everything he said is true, and I hope people will take it to heart. ). There's nothing new about trying to look good in a photo. But if it is going to be shared with everyone you know, and a lot of people you don't, you'd better have some sort of system worked out. I realise I'm talking mostly about women here – although Justin Bieber has done his bit to alert men to the possibilities of finding a workable camera face and sticking to it. In Bieber's case: mouth a tiny bit open, eyebrows slightly raised, looking up at the lens as if roughly woken from sleep and still in a state of prelapsarian innocence. Try it. If you're not Bieber, I guarantee horrific results. These poses are perfected over the course of thousands of self-taken photos and in fact, Bieber, pushing the boundaries of the medium, has just invested in a start-up called Shots For Me – an app designed solely for the taking and exchanging of selfies. It's a kind of transactional narcissim, like those conversations where the only reason you're listening is because at some point you know it will stop and you can talk about yourself. It's also a natural extension of what those in Hollywood have always known: that the over-photographed need a single expression, to promote or undermine an idea of themselves. Here are some examples: Vince Vaughn Vaughn in the current publicity poster 宣传照 for his film, Delivery Man, with his customary single expression: two parts sheepish to one part baffled二分娇羞, 一分迷惑. Lacking public personas or a well defined image, there are only broad templates for the masses to go by. Over the last five years we've moved from prune face, to duck face, to what, in the vanguard of Japanese selfies, is now known as sparrow face – in Japanese, the word for this expression translates as either "chirp" or "cheep". Basically, a face like a startled chorister. Trying to be Tyra Banks, with her whole smiling-with-your-eyes thing眼含笑意, is a dangerous undertaking for a non-model and can land you in that unhappy place between bushbaby, psychopath and someone doing a Diana impression. Ten years ago, the very notion of having a default look was so ludicrous as to be the subject of satire. It's still ludicrous, but it doesn't matter any more because everyone is doing it. We're all Zoolander now.
The Big Bang Theory S7E5 - The Workplace Proximity: 1. Penny: Awkward silence, Sheldon on his phone, no touching. Somebody's having date night(date night a prearranged occasion on which an established couple老夫老妻, especially one with children, go for a night out together.

Informal lustful or erotic. 情色的, 香艳的. steamy nightlife. ) than it looks. Sheldon's looking up the phallic (phallus [ˈfæləs] penis) symbolism of root vegetables in Renaissance paintings. Sheldon: Oh, no, I got bored with that. I'm just browsing cuticle scissors(修指甲用的小剪子 Cuticle scissors are small scissors used for trimming the dead skin around the base of the nail bed, the cuticle( cuticle I. 死皮. dead skin, esp that round the base of a fingernail or toenail.

They are necessary for proper skin care and to prevent infection if a hangnail develops. A hangnail is a torn strip of skin near the nail that can be very painful and can easily become infected. Cuticle scissors, also known as cuticle trimmers, have extra sharp, curved blades to better fit the area around the nail. They are often used during manicures or pedicures once the cuticle has been gently pushed back with a cuticle stick, also called an orange stick. Some beauty experts say that you should cut your cuticles for a "perfect" manicure, while others say the cuticle should not be cut because it provides a barrier against infections. Ultimately, it remains your choice whether you trim your cuticles or not.) on Amazon. Penny: How do you not tear off his clothes and take him right here on this table? Sheldon: If you do that, I'll scream大喊大叫, 叫喊. 2. Amy: Sheldon, I have some exciting news to tell you. Sheldon: That makes two of us. My new cuticle scissors will be here in one to two business days. Come on, one. Amy: I've been invited to consult on an experiment at your university for a few months. Isn't that great? We could have lunch together. We could carpool. Sheldon: You know, riding with Leonard has gotten a little tedious ([ˈti:dɪəs] causing fatigue or tedium; monotonous. Tiresome by reason of length, slowness, or dullness; boring.) lately. The only car game he ever wants to play is the Quiet Game. And he's terrible at it, I always win. Amy: So, you're okay with this? Sheldon: Well, why wouldn't I be? Amy: Well, this project would have us working in close proximity to one another. And there's the vulgar adage ( adage [ˈædidʒ] a traditional saying that is accepted by many as true or partially true; proverb. ) that one should not defecate where one eats. Sheldon: My father used to say that all the time. That and, um, who does one have to orally gratify to get a drink around here? But what does that have to do with you working at the university?

But that was before Howard explained to me how awful it would be if he had to work with his significant other. Bernadette: He said what? Sheldon: Now, don't be insulted. He just thinks too much of you would be mind-numbingly 让人麻木的, 让人没有感觉的 tedious无聊的. Bernadette: Excuse me, I need to have a chat with my husband. Sheldon: Yeah, well, now, well, keep it short. From what I gather(据我所知 In the present, it means from what I have come to understand. In the past, the information is what I had come to understand. From what I gather, the weather will be tonight. From what I gathered (in some previous conversation probably), he was still mad. Or from what I gathered, he is still mad. gather something from something I. to collect something from something.

The comedian was in the middle of a long, tedious story when someone in the audience shouted, "Brevity is the soul of wit!"). So, are we good here我们没问题吧? Amy: No, we're not good here. I am working on this project. Penny: Yeah, and you can't tell her what she can and cannot do. Sheldon: Last week, you told Leonard he couldn't wear his Wookie jacket out in public. Penny: That's different. I'm not going to the mall with someone dressed like a dumb space bear. Amy: Sheldon, you don't have to worry about me bothering you. I'll be in a different building. And we don't even have to have lunch together. Sheldon: Really? Amy: Yes. Before all things 最重要的是, 首要的是, I'm a scientist. I'm just there to do my work and, with a little luck, scare the living crap out of some monkeys. Sheldon: Hmm. You sure your mothlike personality决不放弃的个性 won't be drawn to this blazing fire 熊熊大火 that is myself? Amy: More and more sure. Sheldon: Well, then, you have my permission. Amy: I didn't ask for your permission. Sheldon: Too late. No backsies(backsies 不能学我 A reciprocal action or consequence, such as immediately tagging the player who has tagged one in a game of tag. Then you will be in trouble because it will kill you to have it taken out again but it will betray your deepest inner truth to tell them No Backsies. Not one to gloat, Thorn did sound amused Monday when asked if he had broken the news to the Mavericks' owner, Mark Cuban: no backsies. urbandict: Originating in the game of tag, no backsies is a maneuver in which a player that is "it" cannot be tagged back immediately following the tagging of another player. No backsies can further be extended into the real world, where people use "no backsies" as a means to avoid doing a task. To invoke the rule, one must simply say "no backsies" before the item or action in question is returned to its original source. Example 2: Alex and Daniel are arguing over whom has to put away all the toys back into the chest. Their mother comes in to threaten them that if a certain thing isn't put away within the next minute, they would both get in trouble. Obeying the unwritten rule that the last one to touch something must put it away, both proceed to argue over who actually touched it last. Daniel picks it up and throws it at Alex, hitting him in the face, and calls out "no backsies." Alex, now bruised from the padlock that their mother wanted put away, now has no option but to return the heavy metal object back to the toy chest.). 6. Howard: No, no, listen to me. Sheldon misunderstood. What I meant was, if we worked together, there'd be too much of me for you, not the other way around. Sheldon: Howard, if you're going to lie to your wife, don't start the sentence with Sheldon misunderstood. That's a dead giveaway(dead giveaway = tip-off 说明了一切, 透漏了信息 something that reveals a fact or an intention completely. The car in the driveway was a dead giveaway that someone was at home.). Bernadette: Well? Howard: Okay, fine. I did say that, and I think it's true. I think if we worked together and lived together, we'd get sick of each other. Sheldon: Yeah, but to be fair, he only said the part about him getting sick of you. Howard: For the love of God, why? Bernadette: What exactly do you think you'd get sick of? Raj: His only options here are to fake a heart attack假装心脏病发作 or have a real one. Howard: It's nothing in particular没什么特别的. I… Bernadette: Is it my voice? Am I too bossy? What? Howard: My arm is feeling numb. Leonard: Nailed it. Bernadette: That's the wrong arm for a heart attack, doofus( [ˈduːfəs] n. 弱智. 蠢驴. Informal chiefly US a slow-witted or stupid person. An incompetent, foolish, or stupid person. ). Howard: My point is, I'm sure there are things about me that would drive you crazy if you had to deal with them all day long. Bernadette: Like looking me in the eye and lying to me? Howard: Oh, well, come on, where am I supposed to look when I lie to you? Bernadette: Find somewhere else to sleep tonight. Howard: Bernie… Sheldon: If it makes you feel any better, Amy and I are fine. I mean, really good. Scene: The cafeteria餐厅. Leonard: So, boys, how was the pyjama party? You guys jump on the bed and sing into hair brushes? Raj: It wasn't a pyjama party. It was just a couple of bros hanging out, giggling, eating cookie dough and watching Princess Bride. Howard: Please, stop talking. Raj: As you wish. Howard: I mean, you know, Sheldon, none of this would've happened if I hadn't tried to help you. Sheldon: Uh, it also wouldn't have happened if, in the early universe, hydrogen was a little more common or a little less common. This is fun. Your turn. 7. Amy: Gentlemen. Raj: Amy. Leonard: Hey. Sheldon: Hello. Leonard: That was kind of icy冰冷的, 冷淡的. You two okay? Sheldon: Oh, we're fine. As Howard advised, she's merely respecting our professional boundaries. Leonard: Smart. Take relationship advice from a man who spent last night braiding Raj's hair. Sheldon: Yeah, you make a good point. It would appear I was worried for nothing. Look at her, desperately wishing she was over here at the cool table. Don't worry, little moth. The flame will come to you. Raj: Oh, uh, on the off chance that Bernadette doesn't call back and apologize, how do you feel about Mexican food for dinner tonight? Howard: I don't know. Sounds kind of heavy. Raj: That's 'cause you always fill up on chips. 8. Amy: And this is Dr. Gunderson from Stockholm. Sheldon: Ah, Sweden. Yeah, home of my favourite Muppet and, uh, second favourite meatball. Okay, the Nordic reputation for lack of humour is well-founded. Boy, is his name Gunderson or No-Funderson? Amy: Where are we going with this你是要干什么, Dr. Cooper? Sheldon: Oh, please, I'm your boyfriend. You call me Sheldon. That's right, I am in a boy-girl relationship with this cute little lump of wool. Amy: Sheldon. Sheldon: It's a physical relationship, too. Hand-holding, hugging, even on hot days. Ow. Okay, here's a new one. Apparently now we kick each other in the shin under the table. How do you like it when I do it to you? Not so much, huh? 9: Amy: Test subject D7, aka Betsy, fear response study. Image number one, Frenchman on bicycle carrying baguettes(A baguette 脆皮的法国长面包 ([bæˈɡɛt]) is "a long thin loaf of French bread" that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law).

It is widely employed in marching band and tanjidor. Designed so that it fits around the body of the musician and is supported by the left shoulder, the sousaphone may be readily played while being carried. The instrument is named after American bandmaster and composer John Philip Sousa, who popularized its use in his band.). Still no reaction. Okay. Let's kick things up a notch(kick it up notch 加强一步 to make something more exciting, intense, or interesting, as a food dish or a social gathering. to increase the intensity of something. ). Image number three, crocodile with a mouthful of monkeys. Okay, now we're talking. Sheldon: Dr. Fowler? Amy: What do you want, Sheldon? Sheldon: Well, I'm done with work, so… ugh! Amy: Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, uh, better? Sheldon: Oh, baguettes. Yes, I like baguettes. What exactly are you doing? Amy: Determining baseline fear levels in capuchin monkeys by measuring their response to visual stimuli. Sheldon: So, goofing off(goof off 无所事事 to avoid work to waste time. John is always goofing off. Quit goofing off and get to work! She spent most of the school day goofing off with her friends. goof-off One who shirks work or responsibility.). As I was saying, I'm done with work and Leonard's not. So good news, you get to take me home. Play your cards right乖一点的话, 聪明一点的话, I'll let you drive me past the lot where the buses park at night. Amy: I can't leave now, Sheldon. I'm very busy. Besides再说了, why would I want to do you a favour after the way you treated me in the cafeteria? Image number four, boa constrictor. Sheldon: What on earth are you talking about? My behaviour in the cafeteria was delightful. Maybe your friend Gunderson needs to head over to IKEA and assemble a sense of humour. Amy: You embarrassed me in front of my colleagues on my first day here. Image number five, kitten in a teacup. Sheldon: Aw. Embarrassed you? Amy: You know what? I don't have time for this. Find another way home想别的方式吧. Sheldon: I'm starting to get the sense that you're angry with me. Amy: Really? What tipped you off你怎么发现的? Sheldon: Couple things, actually. Your tone of voice, your body language… Amy: Get out. Sheldon: Well, now, that. Amy: Image number six, woman giving birth. Sheldon: Bleugh! 10. Leonard: It's nine o'clock, where you been? Sheldon: Oh, I had to take the bus home. Fell asleep and missed my stop坐过站了. Penny: Oh, no. Sheldon: Did you know that Los Angeles has a Little Sri Lanka? Leonard: I did not. Sheldon: Well, I do now. They're a lovely people. Although terrifying when you wake up face-to-face with them. If you're hungry, I brought home some mutton ( Lamb, hogget, and mutton (UK, New Zealand and Australia) are the meat of domestic sheep (species Ovis aries). The meat of a sheep in its first year is lamb; that of a juvenile sheep older than one year is hogget; and the meat of an adult sheep is mutton. Distinct from the meat, a lamb (singular with the indefinite article) or lambs (plural) also describes live juvenile sheep, which may or may not be used for meat. In Australia, the term prime lamb is often used to refer to lambs raised for meat.) and coconut milk. Penny: Why'd you get that? You hate lamb. Sheldon: I was asking for directions. Apparently, there was a communication problem. Leonard: I thought Amy was gonna drive you home. Sheldon: Yeah, I thought so, too, but she's acting very strangely. I was discussing it with a Sri Lankan fellow on the bus, and he hypothesized that a tiger may have recently run across her shadow. Although he may have just been trying to drum up business for 招揽生意, 招徕生意 his brother-in-law's witch doctor practice. Penny: Okay, Sheldon, what happened between you and Amy? Sheldon: Well, can you believe she said I embarrassed her? Penny: Yeah. Sheldon: But you didn't even hear the details. Leonard: Sheldon, I've known you a long time, and I'm going to tell you this with all the love I can possibly muster. Amy's right. You're wrong. Sheldon: But you don't even know… Leonard: Doesn't matter. Sheldon: But, now, but in my defence… Leonard: Doesn't matter. Sheldon: You're not listening to my side of it. Penny: Okay, fine, Sheldon. What is your side? Sheldon: Well… Penny: Nope, got to go with Amy 站在...那边 on this one. 11. Howard: Ooh, shrimp was spicy. Raj: You want a TUMS一种小药片? Howard: You got the tropical fruit kind那种? Raj: No, if I buy those, I just go through them like candy. Howard: Tell me about it. One time, I swear I pooped out a stick of chalk. (Knock on door) I'll get it. Raj: Thanks. Bernadette: I may have overreacted. Howard: Yeah, well, I didn't handle it so great, either. Bernadette: It's just sometimes I feel like you enjoy spending time with your friends more than with me. Howard: That's not true. Bernadette: It's not? You spend all day together at work, and then you all hang out at night playing games, going to the comic book store. Last week, you two got a couples massage. So, when you said you wouldn't want to spend that much time with me, it really hurt my feelings. Howard: Oh, wow. Yeah, no, I get that我明白了. I'm so sorry. Starting tomorrow明天起, 明天开始, I am turning over a new leaf. Time with you is my number one priority. Bernadette: Why tomorrow? Howard: Well, we're real close to finishing off the new Batman game. Raj: It is awesome. Uh, you should probably go after her. Howard: Should I go after you? Bernadette (off): No! Howard: Thanks for getting me in trouble. 12. Amy: Sheldon, what are you doing here so late? Sheldon: I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about what happened earlier between us. Also, I had one heck of a bus nap. Oh, speaking of which, do you want some mutton and coconut milk? Amy: No. Sheldon: Well, I cannot give this stuff away. Amy: What do you want? Sheldon: Amy, this isn't easy to say. All relationships are difficult, but even more so when you're in one with a person who struggles with everyday social interactions. And frankly, who can strike some people as being 给人一种印象 kind of a weirdo. Amy: Sheldon, you're not a weirdo. Sheldon: I wasn't speaking about me. I mean, honestly, there's no telling 根本就说不清楚 what will set you off没有任何迹象你就发火了. You know, introducing myself as your boyfriend. Giving you the opportunity to drive me home. Breaking the ice with your colleagues using ethnic humour, the funniest kind of humour. Amy: What's your point? Sheldon: My point is, we're a couple, and I like you for who you are, quirks and all. Amy: I like you, too. Sheldon: Well, I should hope so. I don't see anyone else banging on this door to put up with your nonsense. Not even a good-bye? You see, that's the kind of thing that makes people think you're weird. Poor kid. She just doesn't see it. 13. Bernadette: I'm not apologizing to Howard. He can come beg me on his knees. Amy: Sheldon, too. If I see him at work, I'm just going to ignore him. Penny: All right, don't worry. I talked to Leonard. He is gonna sit the guys down and set them straight. 14. Leonard: Laser's warmed up. Howard: Pull. All: Yeah!
