1.You know, I try very hard to make our lunch hours educational and informative. But your insistence on talking about your own lives stymies me at every turn.
我一直很努力地想把我们的午餐时间变得更为科学有益,但你们执着地讨论自己生活琐事的行为,每次都深深地阻挠了我。

2.I doubt anyone would risk the stiff penalties for impersonating a Federal officer just to ask questions about a minor league engineer with an unresolved Oedipal complex.

6.That’s the work of noted Hollywood costume designer Deborah Nadoolman. She also designed the iconic red and black jacket in Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, which I’ve never viewed in its entirety, as I find zombies dancing in choreographed synchronicity implausible. Also, it’s really scary.
那可是著名的好莱坞服装设计师德博拉.纳杜曼的杰作。她还设计了迈克尔.杰克逊《战栗》MV中那件经典的红黑夹克,不过我一直没看完MV,因为我觉得一群僵尸跳舞这么整齐实在是太假了。并且,真的好吓人啊。

你走在去门厅的路上,一不小心跌进了异次元空间之门,来到了5000年后的未来。然后你在那里利用当时的先进技术造了一架时间机器,现在你是回来接我们去7010年,那时候我们就能被派到飞海豚利用通灵术控制的思维水族馆工作了。
