生活大爆炸第八季 第35期:回到未来

 Hey, the future they show in Back to the Future II is only a year away. A lot of the things in that movie haven't been invented yet. 嘿，他们在《回到未来2》里说的未来就是明年。那电影里面有好多东西还没发明出来呢。（回到未来2：电影讲述80年代马蒂和博士开始光机到了2015年，帮助解决马蒂儿子的事）

How cool would that be if we could make one of those a reality? 如果我们能把其中一个在现实中制造出来有多棒呀？

If we could figure out the scientific basis for Marty's hover¹ board, that would have universal application. 如果我们能弄明白马蒂悬浮滑板的科学理论依据，就能在全世界投入应用了。

Well, it's...it's possible at absolute zero, but we would have to remove the temperature restrictions². 这东西... 只适用于绝对零度，但我们得想办法解决温度的限制。

Oh, I have an idea. 我有个主意。

I think I have the same one. 我觉得我也想到了。

We got to watch Back to the Future II! 我们得看一遍《回到未来2》！

I'll make the popcorn³. 我去做爆米花。

So, where should we go first? 我们先去哪里？

Ooh. There's a cover band in the lounge⁴. - Nah. 哦，酒吧有翻唱乐队表演。- 不去。

But they play Barry Manilow. - No. 但他们唱的是巴瑞·曼尼洛的歌。- 不去。

But they're called "Fairly Manilow"" 但他们叫"酷似曼尼洛"。

Oh. Okay. - Great! - No! 好吧。- 太好了！- 不去！

Well, what do you want to do? 那你想干什么？

Well, we're in Vegas. I want to go downstairs, get a bucket of margaritas, dance until I vomit⁵ all over a roulette wheel and watch it go everywhere. 我们在维加斯。我想去楼下，来一大杯玛格丽特鸡尾酒，跳舞跳到吐在轮盘赌桌上，然后看它飞溅四方。

What if we don't want to vomit? 如果我们不想吐呢？

Oh, you will. That's why they give you the bucket. Uh-oh. - What? 你会吐的，所以他们才卖一大杯。糟糕。- 怎么了？

It's my boss. They moved my field ride up to Monday. 我老板来短信，他们把我的现场实习提前到了周一。

What does that mean? 那是什么意思？

It means instead of having a week to study, I only have two days. 就意味着我没有一个星期可以看材料了，只有两天。

That sucks. 太糟糕了。

Can you start in the morning? 你能早上再看吗？

Uh, it's kind of a lot. You know, let me do a little tonight, and I'll catch up with you guys later. 有很多东西要看。好吧，我今晚看一些，晚点再和你们一起玩。

You sure? - Yeah, it's okay. Go ahead. 你确定吗？- 没关系的，你们去吧。

So, um, now that Penny's not coming...- We're not seeing Fairly Manilow. - Okay. 现在Penny不去了...- 我们不去看"酷似曼尼洛" - 好吧。
