　　例如,"快看 Leonard和Leslie所生的 Goldfarb夫妻,是不是很可爱?"

　　-Leonard: If Penny didn't know that Leslie had turned me down,

　　如果Penny不知道Leslie拒绝过我,

　　then it would unambiguously mean that she, Penny, thought I should ask her,

　　那么这一句的所指将十分清晰即她(Penny)认为我应该追她(Leslie)。

　　Leslie, out indicating that she, Penny, had no interest in me asking her, Penny, out.

　　表明她(Penny)对于我，追求她(Penny)并无兴趣。

　　But, because she did know that I had asked Leslie out

　　但由于她知道我追过Leslie

　　and that she, Leslie, had turned me down, then she, Penny, could be offering consolation¹⁵.

　　并且她(Leslie)已经拒绝我，那么她(Penny)可能只是安慰我。

　　"That's too bad, you would have made a cute couple..."

　　"真可惜，你们本来可以做一对甜蜜情侣..."

　　But while thinking:" Good, Leonard remains¹⁶ available."

　　并且暗想,很好,Leonard还是单身。

　　-Leonard: Penny? What about her?

　　Penny? 她怎么了?

　　-Leslie: I thought I saw your pupils dilate²² when you looked at her.

　　你看她的时候瞳孔放大。

　　-Leslie: Which, unless you’re a heroin²³ addict²⁴, points to sexual attraction?

　　这表明有性吸引力，除非是海洛因成瘾反应。

　　-Leonard: Well, I did have a poppy seed bagel for breakfast.

　　我早餐吃了一个含罂粟籽的百吉饼。
