Seven seasons in, The Big Bang Theory has scored its most-watched finale and its first award for being “not funny.” Or so joked exec producer Steve Molaro, who phoned Entertainment Weekly Radio to accept our reader-voted Season Finale Award for Best Serious Moment in a Comedy for the train station scene.
“《生活大爆炸》（The Big Bang Theory）第七季季終集不僅打破了前幾季的最高收視記錄，還首次斬獲了一個喜劇類劇集‘不好笑獎’?！眻?zhí)行制片人史蒂夫·莫拉羅（Steve Molaro）調侃道，他已通知Entertainment Weekly之聲表示接受這個“喜劇類劇集最佳嚴肅時刻”獎了。此獎項由觀眾投票評選，而該劇獲獎的原因是本季季終集中火車站一幕。

The goal of the finale, as Molaro puts it, was to “chip away at Sheldon and break him down to the point where he just needed to leave to process everything.” The university wouldn’t let him change his field of study. Newly-engaged Leonard wanted to talk about new living arrangements (as did Amy). And the comic book store burned down. Leonard and Penny found an overwhelmed Sheldon at the train station and decided they needed to let him go. With the writers not yet back to work, Molaro won’t say how much the experience will change Sheldon, only that it will affect him.
“本季季終集的主題是幫助謝爾頓（Sheldon）理清頭緒，讓他明白只有暫時離開才能讓事態(tài)有所好轉?！蹦_解釋道。任職的大學不允許謝耳朵改變研究方向；剛與潘小花（Penny）訂婚的萊納德（Leonard）正忙著計劃搬家的事也無暇顧及謝耳朵；基友們經(jīng)常光顧的漫畫書店又遭了火災……當萊納德和佩妮在火車站找到不知所措的謝耳朵時，他們意識到是時候讓他一個人好好想一想了。由于編劇還未開工，所以連莫拉羅也不確定謝耳朵在經(jīng)歷了這一系列變故之后會有怎樣的變化。

Watching Penny kiss Sheldon’s cheek goodbye got Molaro choked up. But the half hour also packed enough laughs for readers to vote it Funniest Finale. Molaro shares his favorite joke in the interview below.
莫拉羅說他看到佩妮在謝耳朵臉頰邊溫馨吻別的一幕時，竟然有些哽咽了；不過該集的其他場景仍然讓觀眾捧腹大笑，被評為“最搞笑的季終集”也是名副其實。
