So go to the bathroom. 那就去厕所啊

I can't. Why not? 我不能去啊。为什么啊?

Because I'm trying to decide between getting an Xbox One or a PS4. 因为我正在Xbox One和PS4之间做痛苦的抉择

Oh, "pee." Why'd I say that? 噢，P(音同尿尿)，我为啥要提到这个词!

Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but why are you being stupid? 容我问个傻叉的问题，你为什么这么傻叉?

I'm not being stupid. 我才没有

I'm employing the work of Dutch researcher, Mirjam Tuk, who found that people with full bladders make better decisions. 我采用了荷兰学者图克的研究成果，他发现人在膀胱处于饱和状态的情况下会做出更好的决定

Why did I pee before I decided¹ to move in here? 我在决定搬来前为什么要撒尿呢?

Okay, well, I did something that will either make me look like a lovable goof³ or a horrible monster damned to spend eternity⁴ in hell. 好吧，我做了件事，有可能让我显得呆萌呆萌的，或者是一个打入地狱永世不得翻身的恶魔

I'm sure it's lovable. I'm gonna go with monster. What do you got? 肯定是呆萌。我说是恶魔，你做了什么?

Well, there's this lady in our office who's retiring, and they were passing around one of those big cards for us to sign... Okay. 我们办公室有一位要退休的女士，大家在传一张大卡片给我们签名留念。懂

But no one told me she was in a horrible car accident over the weekend 但是都没人告诉我她周末出了一场车祸

and what I was signing was not a retirement⁵ card but was actually a "get well" card. 所以我签的不是退休贺卡而是"早日康复"卡

I'm liking⁶ my odds⁷ here. 我觉得我要猜对了

So on the card, in the hospital, next to the woman who's clinging to life are the words, 所以卡片到了医院，放在那位生命垂危的女士身边，写的是

"Hey, Vivian. You deserve this" "And at least with you gone," "no one will steal my yogurt out of the fridge." No! "嗨，维维安，这是你应得的"，"至少你离开以后"，"没人会从冰箱偷我的酸奶了"。不是吧!

Good news? No, I didn't get it. I'm so sorry. 好消息?没，没拿到角色。太抱歉了

You'll get offered something soon. 不久就会有新角色的

I kind of did. The part in that awful horror movie I passed on came back around. 差不多吧，那个恐怖烂片的角色，我拒绝了的那个，又回来了

So, first there was PlayStation... aka PS1... then PS2, PS3 and now PS4. And that makes sense. 首先是第一代PlayStation，也就是PS1，然后出了PS2，PS3，现在是PS4这才合理啊

You'd think after Xbox, there'd be Xbox 2. 你以为Xbox后面，应该是Xbox 2吧

But no, next came Xbox 360. 错，结果出了个Xbox 360

Hmm? And now, after 360, comes Xbox One. 现在呢，360后面又出了个Xbox One

Why "One"? 为什么是"一"?

Maybe that's how many seconds of thought they put into naming it. 大概是他们花几秒钟想着名字就拿这数字命名

Can you get the butter, please? 帮我拿下黄油行不?

Well, you wouldn't want your gaming system to overheat. 你才不会想让游戏机过热啊

No, see? Well, you absolutely would not. 对呀，绝对不想啊

And furthermore, the Xbox One now comes with a Kinect included. Included?! Yes! Not sold separately. 而且，Xbox One还带有Kinect体感控制器。带Kinect?!是啊!不单独出售

Although... the PS4 uses cool new GDDR5 RAM¹², while the Xbox One is still using the conventional DDR3 memory. 但是...PS4采用了高端的GDDR5 RAM，而Xbox One则仍采用传统的DDR3内存

Why would they still be using DDR3? 为什么还用DDR3啊?

Are they nuts?! 他们疯了嘛?!

See? That's what I thought. But then they go and throw in an eSRAM buffer¹³. Whoa, whoa. Wait a second. Who's "they"? Xbox. 就是啊，我就是这么想的，但是他们又加进了eSRAM缓冲器。等下，等下，打断一下，哪个"他们"?Xbox呀

You're kidding! No, I am not! 你没开玩笑吧?!  没啊!

And this eSRAM buffer should totally bridge the 100-gigabit-per-second bandwidth gap between the two RAM types. eSRAM完全可以弥补这两类RAM间的速度差距了

This is a nightmare. How will you ever make a decision? You see? I don't know! 这真是个噩梦阿，还能不能让人愉快地做决定了?就是啊，我怎么选啊!

What should I do? Please pass the butter! 我该怎么办?黄油给我递过来!

Okay, it's not me, right? This script is terrible. Yeah. 不是只有我这么觉得对吧?剧本太烂了。是呀

And then after coffee, we went for a walk and she told me she always thought people from India were exotic and mysterious. 喝完咖啡后，我们又散了会步，她说她一直认为印度人很异国风情很神秘

So, with my mouth, I said, "We're just like anybody else," but with my eyes, I said, "Straight up, Red, hop¹⁴ on my flying carpet." 我嘴上回答她"其实我们跟大家没什么差别"，但是我的眼神却在传达，"来吧小妞，跳上我的阿三飞毯"
