看生活大爆炸学英语第一季第三集(1)

【剧情介绍】

Leonard撞见Penny和其新男友心情极度不好,Sheldon和Howard以他们独特的方式为Leonard"减轻"痛苦.

SHELDON: Penny for your thoughts.

RAJ: What's the matter?

LEONARD: No, I'm fine. Penny's fine, the guy she's kissing is really fine.

HOWARD:Kissing? What kind of kissing? Cheeks, lips, chase, French?

LEONARD: What is wrong with you?

Howard: I'm a romantic.

SHELDON: Don't tell me that your hopeless infatuation is devolving into pointless jealousy.

LEONARD: Look, I'm not jealous. I'm just a little concerned for her.

HOWARD: Didn't like the look of the guy she was with.Because he looks better than you?

LEONARD: yeah, He was kind of dreamy.

SHELDON: At least now you can retrieve the black box from the smoldering wreckage that was once your fantasy of dating her and analyze the data so that you don't crash into geek mountain again.

HOWARD:I disagree. Love is not a sprint. It's a marathon. A relentless pursuit that only ends when she falls into your arms or hits you with the pepper spray.

【口语讲解】

1 Penny for your thoughts 分享一下你在想什么,告诉我你在想什么. Sheldon很聪明地用了个谚语其中有Penny的名字哦.

2 Devolve into 演变成...devolve本身是转让移交的意思.

3 dreamy梦幻的,梦想的.看了<实习医生格蕾>(与TBBT并列小编目前最爱)的童鞋一定对这个词不陌生Doctor Shepherd=Mc Dreamy, 今后描述帅哥美女的时候,别再beautiful了,试试这个给力的词.

4 black box 黑匣子, 飞机失事时经常可以听到的词语,找回黑匣子用retrieve. Sheldon说的这段话好长,生词也很多-_-b ,但是好形象啊,讽刺Leonard不带一个脏字,不愧是Sheldon.

5 smoldering阴燃，慢燃的。从The New York Times看到一则新闻说：Europe’s smoldering financial crisis flared up on Wednesday...也是用形象的手法描述了欧洲的经济危机状况，值得学习哦。

6 pepper spray. “防狼喷雾”, 美剧中女性随身常备用品.Howard对爱的总结很深刻嘛,一定是深有体会哈:p.
