看生活大爆炸學(xué)英語第二季第二十二集
【劇情介紹】
Howard贈書給大伙慶祝他研制的特制馬桶在太空站使用,美其名曰“廢物處理裝置”,Raj他們一直在圍繞這個話題開他玩笑.
SHELDON: Smell that? That's the smell of new comic books.
HOWARD: They're on me today,boys.
RAJ:You're paying? Have you been selling your sperm again?
HOWARD: No,I'm celebrating. As we speak,the space shuttle is docking at the International Space Station where it will deploy the Wolowitz Zero-Gravity Waste Disposal System.
RAJ:Get over yourself.It's a high-tech toilet.
LEONARD:Just think. Thanks to your hard work,an international crew of astronauts?will "boldly go where no man has gone before."
HOWARD: Is that supposed to be funny?
SHELDON: I believe it is. The combination of the Star Trek reference and the play on words involving the double-meaning of the verb "to go" suggests that Leonard is mocking your efforts in space plumbing.
HOWARD: Okay,make your little jokes, but of the four of us,I'm the only one making any real-world contribution to science and technology.
RAJ:He's right. This is an important achievement,for two reasons.Number one..and,of course,number two!
SHELDON:Clever! Playing on the use of cardinal numbers as euphemisms for bodily functions.
