　　-Penny：Leonard, ready to go?

　　Leonard可以走了吗?

　　-Sheldon：Libido: 1    Truth: 0.

　　We did the work together.

　　我们一起做的研究。

　　Let's present the paper together.

　　我们一起去发表论文吧。

　　-Sheldon：And I'm telling you for the last time

　　那我也告诉你最后一遍，

　　里面可能有20-25个人。

　　-Leonard：You're kidding?

　　你开玩笑的吧?

　　-Penny：Is that all?

　　就这么点?

　　-Leonard："All"?

　　"这么点"?

　　In particle physics, 25 is Woodstock.

　　呃，好，嗯，以前有个农民，他养了一群鸡，

　　but they won't lay any eggs,. so he calls a physicist³ to help.

　　可是它们从来不下蛋，于是他叫了一个物理学家来帮忙。

　　The physicist then does some calculations,

　　那个物理学家就做了些计算，

　　and he says, "I have a solution, but it only works with spherical⁴ chickens in a vacuum."

　　-Penny：I really should have brought my own car.

　　我真该自己开车来。

　　-Leonard：So, in conclusion, the data show that

　　所以结论是，数据显示

　　at temperatures approaching absolute zero, the moment of inertia⁵ changes,

　　在接近绝对零度，转动惯量改变时

　　and the solid becomes a supersolid which clearly appears to be a previously⁶ unknown state of matter.

　　固体转变为超固体，并清晰出现以前所未知的一种物质形态。
