Penny, come on. We were just finding our sound.
佩妮求你了，我們剛找著調。
You found it. It's the sound of a cat being run over by a lawn mower.
你們找到的調是一只貓被卷進割草機里。
I'm really very busy. Is there any way that we can put this off until I have more time to prepare?
我真的很忙。我們能否推遲一下？我好有點時間來準備。
Of course. But, uh, you understand my trepidation.
當然了，可你知道我有些啥顧慮。
What's that about? Not a clue.
他又在干嘛？毫無頭緒。
Can't we just postpone it till the spring? Maybe next summer?

This should be fairly easy to deduce. He's holding the phone to his left ear.
這個應該很好推斷的。他把電話擱在左耳旁邊。
Ears do not cross hemispheres, so he's using the analytical rather than the emotional side of the brain,
左耳還是左腦控制的，所以他是在理性分析而不是感情用事，
suggesting that he has no personal relationship with the caller.
表明他和來電者沒有私人關系。
No, I didn't realize it had been so long.
不，我沒想到已經這么久了。
Sure, I guess there's no other choice but to just go ahead and do it.
好吧，我想沒有其他可選擇了，那就只好這么辦了。
He's referring to an activity he has done before. It's unpleasant and needs to be repeated.
他談到了一件以前做過的事，那件事令人不愉快，但又不得不再來一遍。
This suggests some sort of invasive medical test, like perhaps a colonoscopy.
表明這件事應該是某種侵入性醫療檢查，比如說結腸鏡檢查。
Aren't there any other options? There's not a lot of room. It's gonna be uncomfortable.
就沒有其他選擇了么？沒多大地方，肯定很不舒服的。
Yes, yes. I'm definitely going with colonoscopy.
沒錯沒錯，我敢肯定是結腸鏡檢查。
Okay, bye. My mother is coming to visit.
好吧再見。我媽要來看我。
How about that, you were right.
聽聽，你說得沒錯啊。
It's out of order.
電梯壞了。
Yes, I can read the sign. I'm just pondering the implications.
嗯我看到提示了，我只是在沉思其背后的深意。
I think it implies that the elevator doesn't work.
我覺得這意味著電梯不工作了。
Again, I can read the sign.
再說一遍，我看到提示了。
But the sign and the tape are coated with a layer of dust, which indicates that the elevator has been nonfunctional for a significant amount of time.
不過標簽和膠帶上都有厚厚一層灰了，這表示電梯已經壞了 有相當長的一段時間了。
Which suggests either a remarkable passivity among the, I assume, 24 to 36 residents of this building,
也就暗示著這棟大樓里的大約24到36位居民十分不主動。
based on the number of mailboxes and given typical urban population density or a shared delusion of functionality.
噢，居民數我是從郵箱的數目以及普通城鎮人口密度推斷出來的，或者說這些人都有功能性錯覺。
You must be Leonard's mother. Oh, I don't know if I must be, but yes.
你一定是蘭納德的母親。噢，不知道是不是非得是，不過是的。

You'll have to be more specific. Um, okay, like, five or six. Five.

Oh, well, at that age, he was well enmeshed in what Freud would call the phallic stage of psychosexual development.
那時他正深陷于弗洛伊德所謂的心理性發展之生殖器崇拜階段，
An outmoded theory, of course, but the boy did spend most of his waking hours with a tight grasp on his penis.

有研究表明，許多演藝界的人士都有外界認同的煎熬。
Yeah, I don't know what that means.
我不知道你在說什么。
Well, it means you value yourself only as others value you, which is often the result of unmet childhood emotional needs.
這表明當別人重視你時，你才會重視自己，通常是童年情感需要得不到滿足的結果。
Oh, well, I had a wonderful childhood. Tell me about it.
噢，我有個很棒的童年。－跟我說說。
I know my dad wanted a boy. I I just, I tried being good at sports, but I hated getting dirty!

He called me Slugger until I got my first training bra. And then he just stopped playing catch with me.
在我戴上少女胸罩前他都管我叫重擊手。之后他就不和我玩傳接球了。

My theory is that his lack of focus, stems from an overdeveloped sex drive.
我的看法是他不夠專注，是因為性欲過剩。
Oh, I don't know where he would've gotten that.
我真不知道他是從哪遺傳的。
Aside from a pro forma consummation of our marriage, his father and I only had intercourse for the purposes of reproduction.
除卻一段形式上完滿的婚姻，他的父親和我交髯只是為了繁殖。
That seems a fairly efficient arrangement.

And I'm betting she never hit you with a Bible because you wouldn't eat your Brussels sprouts.
而且我打賭她不會因為你不吃芽甘藍就用圣經打你。
Sheldon, you don't give your mother enough credit. She's warm, she's loving, she doesn't glue electrodes to your head to measure your brain waves while potty training.
謝爾頓，你對你媽媽的評價有失偏頗，她是個溫暖慈愛的人，不會在你學用嬰兒便盆時就把電極粘到你頭上來測腦電波。
You were lucky. When I was a kid, if I wanted an EEG, I had to attach my own electrodes.
你夠幸運了，我小時候要是做腦電圖還得自己接電極。

霍夫斯塔德博士，蘭納德很少談起他格外成功的兄弟姐妹。

Why? They're not my accomplishments. I have to urinate.
為什么？又不是我的成就。我得去小便。
Why are you doing this?
為什么你要這么做？

你知道規矩，你帶媽媽來上班，就等著遭罪吧。
Leonard, I had no idea your siblings were so much more successful than you.
蘭納德，真不知道你兄妹比你強那么多呢呀。
Yeah, you're like the Jar Jar Binks of the Hofstadter family.
你就像霍夫斯塔特家族的怪物查查比。

On the other hand, an adult Jewish male living with his mother is so common it borders on sociological cliché.
另一方面一個成年猶太男人跟他的媽媽一起住就太常見了，近乎社會學中的陳詞濫調。
It's just temporary; I pay rent. He lives in the same room where his bassinet was.
只是暫時的，我有付租金。他現在的房間就是以前放嬰兒床的。
You know, both selective mutism and an inability to separate from one's mother can stem from a pathological fear of women.
