- Why aren't you cracking wise?  
- Why? Because it's not 1945.  
crack wise 说俏皮话 To make a sarcastic, flippant, or sardonic comment.
Booth的回答看起来很没关系,其实就跟我们说的“因为所以,科学道理”差不多,就是1945跟why押韵嘛,说起来挺好玩的。

- Just had a bad day on the range.  
- Is that a cowboy metaphor?
这个对话很好玩,Booth说自己在射击场很不爽,Bren就没往字面的意思上想,但是又想不到比喻的意义是啥,就问这是个牛仔的比喻么?

Because he works for the FBI and he's going to go on to tell the Bureau that I'm all loopity-doopity-doopy. 
loopity-doopity-doopy 和blah blah blah很接近吧~~

Okay,why don't we just get Darby O'Gill there out of the pit and back to the lab,all right?  
Darby O'Gill是电影Darby O'Gill and the Little People《梦游小人国》的人物。


A superstrong dwarf,such as might be found in The Lord of the Rings? 
说到超强的小矮人,Vicent直接就想到了《指环王》~~~

Midget is not the proper term.As a scientist,you should be aware. 
Midget 侏儒
这个词不是医学中用的术语,而应该是dwarfism,所以Bren立马跟Vicent指出了。

All right,well,uh,Brennan found a Chinese Panda right beside the body.  
Chinese Panda 中国熊猫纪念币
不要以为是Bren在死者身边发现了一只熊猫啊……这里特指我们国家发行的纪念金币。


Big whoop.  
big whoop 没什么大不了的
字面意思其实是“大事件”啊,很显然在这里是反话。

None of these adjustments strike me as being particularly earth-shattering. 
earth-shattering 震惊的
应该乍一看就猜得出来意思哦?地面都在颤动了嘛,可不是很震惊?话说还真应景,才看完《2012》来着。

Ah,you haven't got to the juicy bit yet,have you?  
juicy 生动有趣的
想想juicy饱满多汁引申出来的生动有趣,其实特指略带八卦性质的那种。这里一段Gordon Gordon硬是往sexual角度上面扯,果然是心理学家哇~

I'll tag along,and I'll see what I think. 
tag along 尾随
这个词组蛮形象的,tag就是标签,又有附加物的意思,直接贴东西上面跟着跑,可不就是尾随了?
