Well, I have certainly taken some jobs that I've been embarrassed by. 我也曾接过一些让我感到尴尬的活儿

I wouldn't exactly call Star Trek¹ embarrassing. 我《星际迷航》也不算是令人尴尬啦

I wasn't. Me, either. 当然不。我也不觉得

So, what do you think, is there a professional downside to doing it? 那你觉得接这个活儿在职业上会产生负面的影响吗?

Well, it's tricky². You want to take projects that you're excited about, but sometimes you also have to pay the bills. 这个不好说，你会想接一些特别感兴趣的活儿，但有时候你不得不为了付账单而妥协

When you're on the set working on something that you just know in your heart is bad—not Star Trek... Yeah, beam me up. I love it! 当你在片场工作的时候，你打心底就知道这是部烂片——当然不是说《星际迷航》"把我传送回飞船"。我超喜欢《星际迷航》!

I've spent so many years living in fear, saying no to new experiences, 过去那么多年，我一直担惊受怕地活着，拒绝各种新体验

but from now on, I'm gonna say yes—yes to love, yes to adventure, yes to life; whatever it may be, the answer's going to be yes. 但是从现在开始，我不再说不——对爱情说是，对冒险说是，对生活说是，不管是什么，我的答案都会是"是"

He's gonna die alone, right? Yeah. Yes. 他会孤独的死去，是吗?是

I'm proud of you, Sheldon. 谢尔顿，我为你感到骄傲

You know, I'm proud of me, too. 我也为我自己感到骄傲

I've done all my research, I conducted an informal poll, and I've arrived at the rock-solid certainty I've made the right choice. 我已经全部研究过了，我也做一个非正式的投票，我已经非常确定我做了正确的选择

You know what? 你猜怎么着?

How about I buy it for you? 我买给你怎么样?

How about I buy you both? 我把这两个都买给你怎么样?

Because you'll either be disappointed or excited by the outcome. Interesting. 因为你不是失望就是对结果很满意。有意思

So, heads it's PS4, tails it's Xbox One. 这样，人头就买PS4，字就买Xbox One

All right, I'll try. 好吧，我试试

Uh, usually on first dates, I talk about music and stuff, but I was promised weird¹⁴, so let's do this. 嗯，通常初次约会时，我会谈论有关音乐之类的东西，但是你本来就跟我保证这会很奇葩，所以我们开始吧

How serious were you two? 你们俩认真到什么程度了?

Well, to be honest, we only went on four dates, hugged twice, kissed once, and there was a handshake loaded with sexual innuendo¹⁵. 好吧，实话跟你说，我们只约会过四次，拥抱两次，接吻一次，还有充斥满满性暗示的握手

Wait, so... a girl you never slept with sent you an e-mail and you felt so guilty about it that you had to tell me? 等等，所以...一个你没有和她睡过的女孩给你发了封邮件，然后你对此心怀愧疚不得不告诉我吗?
