Leonard has no business being involved with a waitress-slash-actress who felt so insecure that she lied to him about finishing community college.

Leonard和一个骗他说是社区大学毕业的，自我感觉不良好的服务员/演员没有任何共同点。 -Sheldon: Why would you lie about that? 这你干吗要撒谎啊？
-Penny: Well, he was going on and on about this college and that grad school, and I... I didn't want him to think I was some kind of stupid loser. grad school:研究生院，研究所
他不停地说这个大学，那个研究生院而我... 我不想他把我看作一个失败的笨蛋。 -Sheldon: You thought the opposite of \ opposite: 反面的
你认为\失败的笨蛋\的反义词是，社区大学毕业?

You can't impose a secret on an ex post facto basis. impose: 强加 ex post facto: 事后地, 追溯地 你不能事后再告诉人家这是秘密啊。 -Penny: What? 什么?

complicated: 复杂的 endeavor: 努力,尽力 facial expression: 面部表情 facial: 面部的 autonomic: 自治的,自律的 reflex: 反射 保密是个复杂的过程，保密的人不仅要注意自己的言辞，还要注意面部表情，下意识的反应。 When I try to deceive, I myself have more nervous tics than a Lyme disease research facility. It?s a joke.

我撒谎的时候，身上紧张的”虱子” 要比一台莱姆病研究设备还多，这是个笑话。

如果Leonard发现我撒谎了，我会因尴尬而死的。 -Sheldon: Physiologically impossible. physiologically: 生理上
从生理上说，不可能的事情。
-Penny: Oh, Sheldon, please. Look, I am asking you as a friend. Sheldon 拜托了，我是在向你请求朋友的帮助。
-Sheldon: So you're saying that friendship contains within it an inherent obligation to maintain confidences?
inherent: 内在的,固有的 obligation: 义务 那么你是说朋友之间就应该为彼此保密? -Penny: Well, yeah. 对啊。
-Sheldon: Interesting. One more question, and perhaps I should have led with this. When did we become friends?
真有意思。还有一个问题，也许我应该这样问：我们啥时候成朋友了?
-Sheldon: i.e., I couldn't become Green Lantern unless I was chosen by the Guardians of Oa, 也就是说，除非被OA星的守护者选中；否则我就不会成为\绿灯侠\。
but given enough start-up capital and an adequate research facility, I could be Batman. start-up: 启动 adequate: 足够的 research facility: 研究设备

我也不清楚啊，经理还没排好班呢，我会告诉你的。

你一知道就要告诉我啊。好吧，那... 天哪，我就是那\臭鱼\。 -Leonard: What did I do wrong? 我做错了什么啊?
-Sheldon: Why are you asking me? I have no information about your interactions with Penny other than what you have provided me,
interaction: 相互作用,相互影响 other than: 除了
问我干什么？我可不知道任何你和Penny的事情；除了你自己告诉我的， nor do I have any method of learning such things. 其他的我怎么可能知道？
-Leonard: What does that mean? 那是啥意思?
-Sheldon: Nothing. You seem to be implying an informational back-channel between me and Penny where obviously none exists. imply: 暗示 obviously: 明显地
没啥意思，你说得好象我和Penny私下里互通有无一样，可明显根本就没有！ -Leonard: No, I didn't. I just think you need to be careful how you phrase things, sir. phrase: 表达,叙述
我可不是这么想的，我觉得你该注意自己的表达方式了，伙计。 -Leonard: What's going on with you?

-Sheldon: Why don't you take a minute to decide? 你们可以慢慢决定。 -Penny: Oh, my... 天。

keep the/a secret: 保守秘密 fold: 折叠 protein: 蛋白质 de novo : （拉）重新；更始 conformational: 构造的
Penny，我没法帮你保密了我就快像构象空间里的内源蛋白一样折叠了， Like a Renaissance tryptich. Like a cheap suit. renaissance：文艺复兴

I haven't forgotten a single thing since the day my mother stopped breastfeeding me. It was a
drizzly Tuesday.

-Sheldon: There doesn't have to be a reason. 这不需要什么理由。
