The Big Bang Theory,《生活大爆炸》
A:So are the rest of the guys meeting us here?
甲:其他的人直接来这找我们?
B:Oh, yeah... no. It turns out that Raj and Howard had to work and Sheldon... had a colonoscopy and he hasn't quite bounced back yet.
乙:对...不对。拉杰跟霍华德要工作,谢尔顿...做了肠镜,还没恢复过来。
A:Oh, my uncle just had a colonoscopy.
甲:我叔叔也做了肠镜。
B:You're kidding. Then that's something we have in common.
乙:你在开玩笑吧。这就是我们俩的共同之处了。
A:How?
甲:怎么说?
B:We both have people in our lives who... want to nip intestinal polyps in the bud.
乙:我们都认识...想将肠道息肉扼杀于摇篮当中的人。
A:so what's new in the world of physics?
甲:物理界有啥新闻不?
B:Nothing.
乙:没有。
A:Really? Nothing?
甲:真的? 一点都没有?
B:Well, with the exception of string theory, not much has happened since the 1930s. And you can't prove string theory. At best you can say,Hey, look, my idea has an internal logical consistency.
乙:除了弦理论,自1930年后就没什么发现了。而弦理论也尚未证明。最多就能说,嘿,我的理论内部逻辑很连贯。
