那你在干嘛？
-Sheldon：I'm... transcending 5 the situation. I'm clearly too evolved for driving.
transcend 4：超出，优于 evolve：进化
我就是…超越了这种情况。很明显我已经进化到不需要开车了。
-Leonard：What does that mean?
这话什么意思？
-Sheldon：Leonard, have you ever wondered why my little toes and lateral 6 incisors are significantly smaller than the average for someone of my size?
wonder：疑惑 toes：脚趾 lateral：侧面的 incisor：门牙
Leonard 你有没有想过，平均来说为什么我的小趾和侧门牙明显比像我这种身材的人要小。
-Leonard：I wonder a lot of things about you, Sheldon. But not-not that.
对于你的事，我有很多都很好奇Sheldon，不过没有这件。
-Sheldon：Well, those are indicators 8 that I'm farther along the evolutionary 9 scale than the average human.
indicator 7：指示 evolutionary：进化的 scale：程度，范围
这表明在进化进程中我比一般人进化得更为充分。
-Leonard： No kidding.
真有你的。
-Sheldon：Well, No, no. I'm not gonna go so far as to say that I represent a distinct new stage in humankind-- You know, a Homo Novus, if you will. No, that's for anthropologists to decide.
represent：代表 distinct：截然不同的 stage：阶段 Homo：人类 anthropologist 10：人类学家
别走，别走，我这么说并不意味着我代表人类进化的新的高度--- 新贵[出身低微而奋斗成功的人]，你可能会这么说。不行，这得由人类学家决定。
But I am convinced that the reason I cannot master the plebeian 11 task of driving is because I'm not meant to.
be convinced that：确信 master：精通 plebeian：平民的，庸俗的
但我确信我之所以不能掌握开车这种小技巧是因为我根本不想学。
-Leonard：Yes, you are. You're meant to learn how to drive. Please learn how to drive!
你想的，你想去学车的，拜托你学开车吧！
-Sheldon：No, no. Leonard, I'm meant for greater things, like unraveling the mysteries of the universe, not determining when it's safe to pass a stopped school bus on a country road.
unravel 12：解开，阐明 mystery：神秘
不行，不行，Leonard我是要去干大事业的，比如解开宇宙之谜而不是决定什么时候在乡村公路上超过停在路边的校车是安全的。
-Leonard：It's never safe.
就没安全的时候。
-Sheldon：Yeah, well, I know that now.
我现在知道了。
-Leonard：Fine. Assuming that everything you say is true, how does the biologically superior Homo Novus get to work tomorrow morning?
Assuming：如果 biologically：生物学的 superior：高级的
好吧就算你说的全对，那个生物学上的超级“新贵”明早怎么去上班？
-Sheldon：Homo Novus doesn't know.
“新贵”也不知道。
-Leonard：Well, hang in there. Maybe you'll evolve into something with wings.
hang in：不泄气，坚持下去 wing：翅膀
坚持住，也许你还能进化出翅膀之类的东西。
-Sheldon：Good morning, gentlemen.
早安先生们。
-Howard：Hey. Good morning.
早安。
-Raj：Is there some new kind of casual Friday I don't know about?
casual：便装
这是不是什么新的星期五便装日而我不知道？
-Leonard：No, he lives here now.
不是，他在这安家了。
-Howard：Really? Why?
真的吗，为啥？
-Leonard：Since he won't take the bus and he's too evolved to drive, he decided 13 it would be easier to just sleep in his office and shower in the radiation lab until I'm finished with my experiment.
shower：淋浴 radiation lab：放射室
因为他不乘公交而且进化得连车都开不了了，所以决定在我完成我的实验前在他办公室睡觉在放射室洗澡可能更好。
-Raj：But you finished your experiment a week ago.
不过你一周前不就完成了吗？
-Leonard：Yep
没错。
-Cleaner：Ay, dios mio. Tra vez?
天呢，又来了。
