　　-Howard：So here's my question: do you realistically see any conversational⁶ path that would take me from where we are right now to a place where I could ask you out and you'd say yes?

　　realistically：实际的 conversational：谈话的 path：途径

　　很好，我不打扰你了。

　　-Woman：Thank you.

　　insert：插入 flash drive：闪存卡 port：接口

　　She calls me Moon Pie because I'm nummy-nummy and she could just eat me up. Now, please put the flash drive in the USB port. nummy-nummy：（美口）鲜嫩的

　　她叫我月亮派是因为我鲜嫩诱人，她想把我吃掉。拜托了，把闪存卡插到USB口上。

　　The one that looks like a little duck's mouth.

　　长的像鸭子嘴巴的。

　　-Leonard：Hey, how'd it go?

　　嘿怎么样?

　　-Howard：Terminator broke my phone.

　　终结者把我的手机终结了。

　　-Leonard：Excuse me.

　　失陪下。

　　Okay, I'll be honest with you.

　　be honest with：对…说实话

　　好了，实话跟你说吧。

　　I've just spent the last two hours imagining various scenarios⁸ in my head, trying to come up with some clever line to say to you. But then I finally realized you're a human being; I'm a human being. I could just say to you...

　　various：各种不同的 scenario⁷：行动方案 come up with：说出 line：台词

　　-Leonard：Hi, my name's Leonard.

　　嗨我叫Leonard。

　　-Sheldon：So, I'm thinking, you won the Nobel Prize what, three years ago?

　　于是我就想，你是啥时候，3年前，得的诺贝尔奖?

　　So you must deal with a whole lot of "What has Smoot done lately?"

　　肯定回应了不少 Smoot最近有啥成就之类问题。

　　My thought is we continue my research as a team-- you know, Cooper-Smoot, alphabetical⁹-- and when we win the Nobel Prize, you'll be back on top.

　　continue：继续 alphabetical：按字母表顺序的

　　我想着咱们组队继续我的研究，那个，就叫Cooper-Smoot，字母顺序嘛。等我们赢了诺贝尔奖，你又可以重回巅峰了。

　　-Doctor：With all due respect, Dr. Cooper, are you on crack?

　　With all due respect：恕我直言

　　恕我直言 Cooper博士，你疯了吧?
