生活大爆炸 第六季:第10集:主题曲(上)

 Is anyone else troubled by the SpiderMan theme song? 你们有人觉得蜘蛛侠的主题曲很闹心吗

Why would it trouble you? 那首怎么会让你闹心啊

It's, like, your third favorite cartoon theme song. 那不是你第三喜爱的卡通主题曲吗

It is, right behind Do dodo dodo, Inspector¹ Gadget²... and... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a halfshell Turtle power! 的确是就排在嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟G型神探以及忍者神龟背有龟壳大英雄，忍者龟力量

However, the SpiderMan lyrics³ posit⁴ that "SpiderMan, SpiderMan does whatever a spider can." Yeah, so? 但蜘蛛侠的歌词却唱  "蜘蛛侠,蜘蛛侠，蜘蛛能做的他都能"那又如何

I can think of many things SpiderMan can't do that a spider can. 但我能想到一堆蜘蛛能做到而他不能的事

One: crawl in your ear and die. 一：爬进你耳朵死在里面

Two: legally leave Guatemala without a passport. 二：不出示护照也能合法离开危地马拉

Three: have sex with a spider. 三：跟母蜘蛛做爱

Can we change the subject? 我们能换一个话题吗?

Spiders give me the jeebiejeebies. It's "heebiejeebies." I know, but that sounds antiSemitic. 人家铁汉怕怕蜘蛛，是铁汉"犹怕"蜘蛛。有个"犹"字感觉歧视犹太人

Anyway, I was thinking we could have a little film festival tonight. 我是在想  我们今晚可以来个小电影节

The theme: movies that killed their franchises⁵. Like Jaws⁶ 4, Indiana Jones 4, Daredevil 1. 主题：把系列搞臭的电影，例如《大白鲨4》《印第安纳琼斯4》《超胆侠1》

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous⁷.I mean, you know a movie's bad when my homegirl Sandy B. can't save it. 还有《特工佳丽2  火爆特工》连我的宝贝桑德拉?布洛克都救不起你就知道这烂片有多烂了

Penny's working tonight; I'm in. 佩妮今晚要工作，我参加

Not me. I'm having dinner with Bernadette and her parents. 我不行。我得跟伯纳黛特还有她父母共进晚餐

Fun. We know how much you love that. It's torture. 有意思。我们都知道你多"爱"这档事。太折磨我了

Especially with her dad. We have nothing in common. 尤其是跟她爸相处我们没有任何共同点

You know what I like to do when I'm forced to speak with those beneath my intellectual station? 当我被逼着跟智商低我太多的人聊天时你知道我都怎么做吗？

I bring up an interesting topic, like the difference between SpiderMan and spiders. 我会提出一个有趣的话题例如蜘蛛侠与蜘蛛的差别

Thanks, Sheldon. I'll try that with my fatherinlaw. 谢谢你啊，谢尔顿。我到时再跟我岳父试试

No, you can't use that one. That's mine. Uh, try this one for an icebreaker. 你不许用这话题，这是我的招试试用这个话题暖场吧

I think I'm too sick to go to the funeral. You're sick? You poor kid. Well, see ya. 我病得太厉害，去不了了。你病啦？真可怜。那我走啦

Sheldon, aren't you gonna take care of me? 谢尔顿  你不留下来照顾我吗

Me? No. No, I'm not that kind of doctor. 我吗？不啊。我是"博士生"不是"医生"

But our relationship agreement clearly states that when one of us is sick, the other must take care of them. 但是我们的恋爱合同中明确写道其中一人若是病了，另一方就得照顾对方

Oh, I see the confusion. 我明白你的疑惑

No, the intent behind that clause was to force you to take care of me when I'm ill. 那个条款的用意是要强迫你在我生病的时候照顾我

When you're feeling better, you'll think that's funny. 等你身体好点  就能理解个中幽默了
