?看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語第一季第一集(1)

【劇情介紹】

Sheldon 為了升級寬帶說服Leonard去賺“外快”, 但是Sheldon卻臨時改主意了。

SHELDON: I don’t think I can do this.

LEONARD: are you kidding? You’re a semi-pro.

SHELDON: No. We are committing genetic fraud. There's no guarantee our sperm's going to generate high-IQ offspring. Think about that. I have a sister with the same basic DNA mix who hostesses at Fuddruckers.

LEONARD:Sheldon, this was your idea. A little extra money to get fractional T1 bandwidth in the apartment?

SHELDON: I know. And I do yearn for faster downloads. There's some poor woman who's gonna pin her hopes on my sperm. What if she winds up with a toddler who doesn't know if he should use?an integral or?a differential to solve for the area under a curve?

?【口語講解】

1. semi-pro: 半職業(yè)選手.這里L(fēng)eonard說Sheldon 經(jīng)常來這里, 都趕上半職業(yè)選手了.semi- 表示“半,不完全地”之義如semi-automatic 半自動的、semi-final 半決賽；pro為professional的縮寫.

2. Committing …fraud: 欺詐. 英語中犯…罪用”commit”這個詞.如commit a murder謀殺

3. There's no guarantee that:不一定. There’s no guarantee that the richest is the happiest.

4. yearn for渴望, 希望. 在寫作文時,不要老是用hope和wish.注意yearn for表達(dá)的渴望之情很強(qiáng)烈.

one’s hope on:把希望寄托在.Parents always pin their hope on children.

up with以…而告終.Their seeming perfect plan winds up with failure.

I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. --Jack Dawson,Titanic（我喜歡早上起來時，一切都是未知；不知會遇見什么人，會有怎樣的結(jié)局?！短┨鼓峥颂枴方芸耍?/p>

for求出,解出. Solve for y in terms of x,用x求出y.
