看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語(yǔ)第三季第十四集

?

【劇情介紹】Sheldon工作上卡殼了，比平時(shí)更“瘋”了，大半夜跑到彩球池玩，到Penny工作的地方去當(dāng)服務(wù)員，打碎了一大堆碗后突然清醒，把一堆爛攤子留給Penny了，莫非真像Howard說(shuō)的那樣被突然重啟了？

1. Captain Hook's hand was eaten by a crocodile, not an alligator. If you're going to mock me, at least get your facts straight.
胡克船長(zhǎng)的手是被鱷魚(yú)而不是短吻鱷咬掉的，你想嘲笑我前，至少把事實(shí)弄清楚。

Get straight徹底了解，搞通；辦好

2. Back door has a five-pin tumbler system,single-circuit alarm. Child's play.
后門(mén)是五鎖連環(huán)栓，單回路報(bào)警系統(tǒng)，小菜一碟。

Child's play.非常容易的事

3. Well, thank you for noticing. I'm "Menial Employee of the Month."
多謝你留意到了，我可是“本月最佳低賤員工”。

Employ of the month本月最佳員工

4. For thousands of years, the lowest classes of the human race have spent their lives laboring to erect monuments under the lash of their betters, until finally, they dropped down and became one with the dust through which they trudged.
幾千年來(lái)，最底層人類(lèi)在佼佼者的鞭笞之下建立豐碑，最終卻在跋涉的途中倒下化作一粒塵埃。

under the lash受鞭笞刑，受體刑；遭責(zé)罵

5. I asked myself, what is the most mind-numbing, pedestrian job conceivable ,and three answers came to mind. That toll booth attendant, and Apple Store Genius...and what Penny does.
我捫心自問(wèn)，世上最令人心煩意亂，平淡沉悶的工作是什么？三個(gè)答案出現(xiàn)在我腦海：收費(fèi)站工作人員，蘋(píng)果店店員及Penny做的工作。

Pedestrian除了表示“人行道”外，還有“缺乏想像力的；平淡的；沉悶的”的意思。toll booth收費(fèi)站

5. I bet if we allchipped in, we could buy Sheldon a van.
我確信如果我們湊份子可以給Sheldon買(mǎi)個(gè)小貨車(chē)。

Chip in 集資出錢(qián)，插嘴，下賭注。

6. ?- Happy now??
高興了吧？

-I'm on a cloud.
開(kāi)心死了

On a cloud忘乎所以，高興得不得了。
