Mrs Cooper: Okay. Alright everybody, it’s time to eat. (Everybody begins to do so) Oh Lord, we thank you for this meal, all your bounty, and we pray that you help Sheldon get back on his rocker. (To Raj and Howard) Now after a moment of silent meditation I’m going to end with “In Jesus’ Name” but you two don’t feel any obligation to join in. Unless, of course, the holy spirit moves you.

bounty
【释】a generous gift; something freely provided
慷慨的给予

we pray that
【释】pray: wish or hope strongly for a particular outcome or situation
连起来解释为：我们祈祷
【例】We pray that God blesses your life and that you will always feel welcome at our Parish.

【例】I prayed that James wouldn’t notice.

get back on his rocker
【释】rocker: One of the two curved pieces upon which a cradle, rocking chair, or similar device rocks
本词组是从一个习语引申来的：off one’s rocker 解释为： mad【informal】
给出rocker的解释是考据off one’s rocker最初的含义而来，它现在的义表面上看已经没有跟本词组真正含义接近的
【例】Anna: How was tennis, Tim?
Tim: Rubbish. I lost to Aidan. I should try and keep a level head and not go off my rocker
when I play...
Anna: Yes. One should never go off one's rocker. Now it's time to eat some squirrel pie.
Anna：Tim，网球怎么样？
Tim：烂透了。我输给Aidan了，我应该在打球的时候，尽量保持冷静，不应该抓狂……
Anna：对。人不应该抓狂。现在是吃点松鼠馅饼的时候啦
【例】”I have a very naughty cat,” Granny said. “It gets into such mischief that I'm worried it's going to drive me off my rocker !”
祖母说：“我有一个很调皮的猫，经常恶作剧，让我一直觉得它会把我逼疯了。“

Meditation

冥想

don’t feel any obligation to
【释】obligation: an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment
连起来解释为：不要觉得有任何义务去……相当于“don't feel obligated to”

如何你很忙，不必要一定来。
