So, tell me about your day, how's it going with the particle detector? Wow! You remember that?
跟我說說你今天干了什么吧。粒子探測器的進展如何？哇！你還記著這個？
Yeah, I listen to what you say. You're building a particle detector using superfluid helium.
當然，你的話我都有好好聽。你正在用超流氦打造一個粒子探測器。
You know, when you talk like that, I want to take you right here on this table.
你說這些的時候，我真想立馬把你按倒在這餐桌上。
And you know from past experience this table cannot support both our weight. So, how's the detector going?
根據以往的經驗，這張桌子可承受不起我倆的重量。所以，你那探測器做得怎么樣了？
Well, it's tricky working with superfluids. Whatever container you put them in, they kind of creep up the sides and crawl out all on their own.
超流體這玩意還挺難搞。不管放進什么容器里，它都會從邊上滲出來慢慢逃逸掉。
Kind of like Sheldon's ant farm.
有點像謝爾頓的螞蟻農場。
Exactly, except you don't have a lunatic running around, yelling, "I fed you sugar water, why are you biting me?" Come on, this is boring, you really want to talk about this?
完全正確，只是這次不會有個瘋子在旁邊邊跳邊喊：“ 我喂了你們糖水喝，為毛要咬我？”這太無聊了。你不會真想談這個吧？
No, I do. II didn't write "superfluid helium" on this napkin for nothing.
我真的想聽。我特意把超流氦寫在餐巾紙上可不是白費的。
Okay, well...This is cool. Uh, there's a thing called "superfluid vacuum theory",
好吧...有個想法挺有趣的。有一種理論叫超流體真空論，
where empty space is imagined as a superfluid with all of its qualities-- viscosity, density, surface tension...
它把時空本身設定為是一個具有各種特質的液態超流體。粘度 、密度 、表面張力...
Hey, if you're pausing for dramatic effect, I'd keep it moving.
如果你暫停是為了戲劇效果，你還是繼續說吧。
No, no. People don't talk about surface tension. If you imagine our three-space as the surface of an N-dimensional superfluid bubble...
不。其他人都沒提到表面張力。如果你把三維空間想象為一個N維空間的超流體氣泡的表面...
This...is exciting. This is really exciting. I have to go find Sheldon.
這個...這個想法太有趣了。真的很有意思。我得去找謝爾頓了。
Okay, well, if you find him, use the kitchen island, that coffee table will not support both of you.
如果你找到他，記得按倒到在廚房的島臺上，咖啡桌可承受不起你倆的重量。
Which means a spherical multidimensional superfluid shows the same negative-energy density as space-time.
所以球性多維超流體和時空具有同樣的負能量密度。
So what do you think? What do you think? So what do you think? Hmm...
你覺得如何？如何如何？你覺得如何？嗯...
What? Is it wrong? Have you seen it somewhere else? Hmm...
怎么了？我錯了嗎？還是你已經看過這種理論了？嗯...
I know this isn't my area, and I could never do the math like you can, but could this be something...?
我知道這不是我的領域，我的數學也沒你強，但這想法靠譜嗎？
Well...You could have set Newton's gravitational constant to one. And, ugh, the whole thing reeks of blueberry. You know I can't stand these scented markers.
這個嘛...你可以把牛頓的萬有引力常數設為1。而且，到處都彌漫著一股藍莓味。我真是受不了這些香味記號筆。
No one told you to taste them. Come on, is-is this good or not? It's good. Really?
又沒人叫你吃它們。這個想法到底好不好嘛？很不錯。真的嗎？
I like it. I think you're on to something.
我很看好它。我覺得這可能是個大發現。
You do? You're not messing with me?
真的嗎？你沒有逗我吧？
Not at all. In fact, I have got something for just such an occasion. I was starting to think I might never get a chance to give it to you. Good job.
完全沒有。事實上，我為這種時刻專門準備了一個東西。我還以為自己不會有機會把這個給你了呢。表現不錯。
You're giving me a sticker?
你給了我一張貼紙？
Indeed. Not just a sticker. That is a sticker of a kitty saying, "Me-wow!" I'm not a preschooler.
是的。但遠不止貼紙那么簡單。貼紙上有只貓在說 “干得喵！”我又不是幼兒園小孩兒。
Fine, I'll take it back. I earned this! Back off!
那我把它收回吧。這是我應得的！別想拿走！
You're still awake?
你還沒睡啊？
For a man whose last observation was our universe may be the surface of a multidimensional supercooled liquid, "You're still awake" seems like quite the sophomore slump.
身為一個剛剛發現宇宙時空可能是一個多維超冷液體的表面的人，"你還沒睡啊"是這句話聽太“二年級低潮期”了。
You worked out all the math.
你完成了所有的計算。
Oh, I did more than work out all the math. I wrote a paper.
我做的可不止計算，我寫了一篇論文。
You wrote a paper on my idea? I wrote a paper on our idea.
你用我的想法寫了一篇論文嗎？我用我們的想法寫了一篇論文。
When did my idea become our idea?
我的想法什么時候成了我們的想法？
When I mixed it with Sheldony goodness and cooked it in the EasyBake Oven of my mind.
當我在其中糅合了謝爾頓的精華，并用我的思維烤箱烘焙而成后。
This is good. Our idea is really good.
寫得真不錯。我們的想法真得很不錯。
Well, the lightbulb in this oven is ridiculously bright.
人家烤箱里面的小燈泡可以亮瞎你的眼呢。
You know, if no one's thought of this, yet, this could be a big deal.
如果這個想法沒有人提出過，這絕對是個大發現啊。
Only way we'll know for sure is if we post it online to the pre-print server. I have it ready to go, but I wasn't gonna do it without you.
檢驗的唯一方法就是把它放到預發表服務器上去。我已經準備發了，但我要等你一起來。
Wow, it's all happening so fast. Should we just sleep on it?
這一切發生得太快了。我們要不要等明天再說啊？
We could, but we always run the risk of someone else beating us to the punch.
可以，但也許其他人就會搶在我們前面了。
You're sure it's good?
你確定這個想法靠譜嗎？
My name is right on there with yours. That is a surefire mark of quality. That might as well say "Directed by Joss Whedon".
我的名字就在你旁邊。這就是金牌品質保證。這就好比一部電影寫著“由喬斯·威登執導”。（喬斯·威登執導了《復聯》等票房大片）
Okay, partner, let's do it. Come on. Click the mouse with me. One...two...three...Click.
好吧，搭檔，就這么干吧。來。和我一起按下鼠標吧。一...二...三...點擊。
Well, we did it. Yes, we did, my friend. Is your tongue blue? I don't want to talk about it.
好了，我們真的做了。是的，我的朋友。你的舌頭怎么是藍色的？我不想談這件事。
Okay, movie night, what do you want to watch?
電影之夜，你們想看什么？
Whatever happened to that ape movie you were in?
你出演的那部猿人電影怎么樣了？
Oh, God. Probably nothing. I think I saw the director twirling a sign outside the Verizon store. Search for it.
天啊。可能根本沒發行。我好像看到導演在手機通訊行外面轉廣告牌拉客人呢。搜搜看。
Wha...no. No! Why? 'Cause it would be fun to watch. It would be humiliating.
什么 ...不！為什么啊？因為一定很好玩。我一定會丟臉死。
Well, now we have two reasons. They have it.
現在我們有兩個理由了。上面有這部。
Please, can we watch it? Please?
求求你了，讓我們看看好嗎？拜托了。
Fine, but I'm telling you, it's terrible.
好吧，不過我警告你們，超級難看。
Have you even seen it? No. Well, maybe it turned out better than you think.
你自己看過嗎？沒有。也許比你想得好多了。
Bananas, get your fresh bananas. It really didn't.
香蕉，給你買新鮮的大香蕉嘍。看來是爛透了。
Sheldon, this is superfluid helium. Put this in your mouth, your tongue will freeze and break off.
謝爾頓，這是超流氦。把這個放到嘴巴里，你的舌頭就會凍成碎片。
Does it smell like blueberries? No. Then we're probably okay.
它聞起來像藍莓嗎？不像。那就應該沒問題了。
Hey, your paper got mentioned on the Quantum Diaries physics blog. Really? WhWhat'd they say?
你們的論文被量子物理學博客提到了。真的嗎？他們怎么說？
Uh, it's basically a summary of the theory, but there's a bunch of positive comments on the message board. Let me see, let me see.
只是簡單地介紹了一下這個理論，不過下面有好多正面留言。讓我看看，讓我看看。
One calls it "Insightful and innovative". We're insightful and innovative. Ooh, nice to meet you, Mr. Insightful.
有人稱它是"有見地和創新的"。我們有見地，還富有創新精神。你好，有見地先生。
Oh, the pleasure is mine, Mr. Innovative. Uh, another one says, "The concept shows some real out-of-the-box thinking". Do you hear that, Mr. OutOfThe?
你好，非常創新先生。還有人說 "這個理論顯示出了極度發散的思維"。你聽到了嗎，發散先生？
I do, indeed, Mr. BoxThinking.
聽到了，思維先生。
How are you today, Mr. CanYouBelieveTheseJackAsses?
你今天好嗎，"這倆二貨讓人無語"先生？
Just dandy, Mr. ... IWishIWasBetterAtImprov. Read another one.
挺好的，"我要是更會胡扯就好了"先生。再讀一條。
Okay, okay. Uh..."The analogy between space-time and a supercooled fluid is either meaningless or...false".
好的。"將時空與超冷液體進行類比，要么沒意義，要么是錯的。"
"I wish this blog would devote itself to real science Instead of wasting our time with crackpot, wannabe theoreticians in a rush to publish".
"我希望這個博客能關注真正的科學，而不是為了急于發表成果的、妄想成名的瘋子理論家浪費我們的時間。"
Who wrote that? It's anonymous, and user name "General Relativity."
誰寫的？匿名的，用戶名為"廣義相對論"。
Well...I'm responding to it. Uh, don't lower yourself to their level.
我要回復。別...把自己搞得跟他們一個檔次。
Look, I am simply going to defend our work, scientist to scientist. And failing that, suggest that his mother enjoys a string of both human and non-human lovers.
我只是保護我們的工作成果，以科學家的方式理論。如果溝通失敗的話，就暗示他的母親很享受與人類以及非人類愛人有一腿。
Sheldon, my name's on that paper, too. There's no upside to doing this.
謝爾頓，我的名字也在論文上。這樣做沒好處。
He just left another comment. What does it say? "
他又評論了。說什么？
Upon review, I've changed my mind about The CooperHofstadter hypothesis That space-time is like a superfluid. In fact, It's inspired me to come up with my own theory.
"經研究，對于庫霍氏的時空像超流體的假設我改變了自己的看法。事實上，這啟發我有了自己的理論。
Maybe space-time is like two clowns with their heads in a bucket, much like Cooper and Hofstadter."
也許時空就像兩個腦袋進了水的小丑，就像庫珀和霍夫斯塔德。"
Can I respond now? Do it.
我現在可以回復了嗎？回吧。
You mess with the bull, you get the horns. I'm about to show this guy just how horny I can be. Somebody else do it.
調戲公牛，就等著被角戳。我要讓他知道我的角有多硬（有多淫蕩）。其他人來回吧。
Doctor, please help me. I think I might be turning into a killer gorilla.
博士，請幫我。我想我可能會變成殺人猩猩。
Why do you think you're turning into a killer gorilla and not just a regular gorilla?
你為什么會覺得你會變成殺人猩猩，而不是普通猩猩呢？
Because regular gorillas are vegetarians, and I just bit the fingers off your receptionist! Okay, we've seen plenty.
因為普通猩猩是吃素的，而我剛咬下了你的前臺的手指！好啦，看得夠多了。
No! Give me the remote. Careful. She'll bite your fingers off.
不！遙控器給我。小心，她會咬掉你的手指。
Okay, well, I've been poking around the internet, and I think I found something we'll enjoy watching even more.
我剛才在上網，我想我找到了大家更想看的東西。
What is it? Oh, just a video of Bernadette in a beauty pageant. What? !
什么？伯納黛特參加選美的視頻。什么？！
Okay, I learned my lesson. Making fun of people is wrong!
我受到教訓了。取笑他人是不對的！
I haven't learned my lesson. Play it! Play it!
我還沒有接受教訓。快放！快放！
Hi. I'm Bernadette Maryann Rostenkowski from Yorba Linda, California.
大家好，我是來自加州約巴林達的伯納黛特·瑪麗安·羅斯滕科斯基。
You look like a talking cupcake!
你看起來像是會說話的紙杯蛋糕！
And you should pick me for Miss California Quiznos 1999, because I want to...
你們應該讓我當選99年加州奎茲諾斯三明治小姐，因為我要...
Tell you what I want, what I really really want I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really be Miss California Quiznos 1999!
告訴你我要什么，我真的要告訴你我要什么，我真的要，我要、我要、我要、真滴、 真滴 、真滴很想成為99年加州奎茲諾斯三明治小姐！
Play it again! Play it again!
再放一遍！再放一遍！
