But I've never really paid attention.
可我从没认真听过。
-Leonard:Okay, well, right now I'm designing an experiment to study the soft component 4 of cosmic radiation at sea level,
好吧,我正在设计一个试验,分析海平面宇宙辐射的软性部分,
But I really don't need any help.
不过我真不需要帮忙。
-Sheldon:Oh, sure you do.
别逞强了。
Now, see, what's this here in the schematic?
等下,瞧,示意图上这是什么?
Is that a laser array?
是激光列阵吗?

对。

好了。

啊...
This is engineering, huh?
这就是工程学工作室啊。

工程学。
Where the noble semiskilled laborers 6 execute the vision of those who think and dream.
