光看美劇學(xué)英文是不夠滴！^o^口語也要扎實學(xué)

1. Where does it come from? This quest, this need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered? Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off, not looking at all, not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature, not the human heart, is not why we are here.
——第一個it是指后面的quest 和need，我們對生命奧秘的疑問和渴望來自于哪里呢？/be off離開/ delve探究考察/ yearning向往

2. I need to change his lV.
——IV is short for intravenous，這里指an intravenous injection靜脈注射。

3. Man is a narcissistic species by nature. We have colonized the four corners of our tiny planet. But we are not the pinnacle of so-called evolution. That honor belongs to the lowly cockroach. Capable of living for months without food, Remaining alive headless for weeks at a time, resistant to radiation…If God has indeed created himself in his own image... then I submit to you that God is a cockroach. They say that man uses only a tenth of his brain power. Another percent and we might actually be worthy of God's image. Unless, of course, that day has already arrived. The Human Genome Project has discovered that tiny variations in man's genetic code are taking place at increasingly rapid rates. Teleportation, levitation, tissue regeneration, Is this outside the realm of possibility? Or is man entering a new gateway to evolution? Is he finally standing at the threshold to true human potential?
——這段是關(guān)于人類進化新紀元的暢想。說明人類雖然自詡高等生物，但是我們還未處于生物進化的最領(lǐng)先地位，然而基因變異的加速正好讓人類開始發(fā)展他們的潛能。關(guān)于上帝是蟑螂的諷刺幽默，不得不提的是由于達爾文的進化論存在著諸多漏洞和局限，對進化論的攻擊往往被用來證明神創(chuàng)論的正確性上，然而對宗教的攻擊，又往往可以用達爾文進化論的觀點找出神創(chuàng)論的最薄弱的環(huán)節(jié)加以火拼。
——narcissistic孤芳自賞的/species單復(fù)數(shù)相同，物種/by nature副詞本性上，生來
——colonize殖民/ four corners 十字路口the four corners of the earth天涯海角，這里是后者的比喻用法
——pinnacle高峰，高級層次
——resistant to radiation抗輻射
——created himself in his own image此處首先要用到三位一體的概念，即圣父圣子圣靈是同一神性，都可稱為上帝，但是是不同位格（圣父圣子圣靈三個位格）的存在，而圣子，即耶穌基督是三個位格中唯一一個有物理形態(tài)能夠和人類直接接觸的上帝，所以上帝創(chuàng)造了他的兒子耶穌的形態(tài)，這里卻用了himself；其次要用到圣經(jīng)中創(chuàng)世紀的內(nèi)容，耶穌和眾天使是創(chuàng)世紀（創(chuàng)造地球上物理形態(tài)和生命）之前就有的，耶穌也參與了造人，雖然說人是按照上帝的樣子造成的，實質(zhì)就是說是按照圣父圣子的形象創(chuàng)造的。本劇內(nèi)容是說世界上最高級的生物的形象是根據(jù)上帝的形象塑造的，在進化的角度，人類要低于蟑螂，所以蟑螂應(yīng)該是上帝按照自己的形象制造出來的高級生物，以此類推，上帝是蟑螂。
——genetic code基因編碼
——teleportation 遠距傳輸，這里指空間轉(zhuǎn)移/levitation漂浮，這里指人體懸浮/ tissue regeneration組織再生
——Is this outside the realm of possibility（很有文采的用法表示可能性）

4. I'm sorry. I'm out of time.——out of time不合時宜的，在這里或者指拖堂，或者指早退。這個詞組也有過時的意思。下課前還可以說time’s up, 表示時間到。

5. But he had clearly lost touch with reality.——lose touch with失去聯(lián)系這里指脫離實際

6. Yes, you always wanted his approval.——人總是為了得到重視的人的認同而努力，不倫他所要證明的事情這是否出于他本意。approval同意，在這里指兒子尋找的一種認同。

7. I need to know that it wasn't all or nothing.——all or nothing孤注一擲的，要么全要么無。指這種研究風(fēng)險極大，如果有成果了，那是巨大的，如果沒有，就一錢不值。

8. I need to finish what he started.——完成他未竟的事業(yè)。

9. The logic board was bad, so I had to build a new one.It's a pinhole camera. It's for the eclipse. The moon's gonna cover up the sun today.
——logic board邏輯板卡 main logic board components contains-16NVRAM/ TOD Module, 17SSP Paddle Card and Cable, 18PCI Cards, 19Main Logic Board, 20CPU Modules,21 Memory Modules.
——pinhole camera 針孔照相機，也稱照相暗箱，是照相機的原型，基本部分是一個密封暗箱，后面為聚焦屏，密封箱前方為小孔或會聚透鏡。原理是物體發(fā)出的光線，經(jīng)過小孔或透鏡后，在密封箱的聚焦屏上生成倒立的實像。越小的孔越能使得物體各點的光只能到達各自的像點，不發(fā)生重疊，從而獲得清晰的像。針孔越小，通過針孔的光線就越少，像的亮度也就越低。所以這里用它來觀察日食。

10. This morning when l got out of bed, my foot hovered before it hit the ground.——hover徘徊這里是懸空/hit the ground這里指著地，也有臥倒的意思。
