追美劇《生活大爆炸》學(xué)口語(8)

劇情梗概：Leonard因七年前忘記歸還Sheldon的DVD，如今遭到懲罰。他要在找到原來的DVD店主之前，一直穿著讓他渾身發(fā)癢的紅毛衣。而平日里注重信用的Sheldon這次看上去卻一點兒也不著急……

對話文字：

Leonard: Okay, Sheldon, I am out of options! Video store owner, Nursis Manookian, has no next of kin!

Sheldon: Well, you seem *hot under the collar…or is that the sweater?

Leonard: I-It’s because I spent all afternoon at the Armenian church where his funeral mass was held. According to Father Solakian, no one attended. Luckily, my trip wasn’t a complete waste. I lit a candle and prayed for your death. But I’m not Armenian, so it probably won’t work!  This is over, right?

Sheldon: Oh, not necessarily. I suggest you look for long-lost relatives either in Armenia or Lebanon.

Leonard: Listen to me, Sheldon. I am not going to Lebanon to return Super Mario Bros. the movie!

Sheldon: You know, it might be fun. You love hummus.

Leonard: Why isn’t this bothering you? I-Isn’t your brain getting itchy? This is on your card. This could be ruining your credit score! Why isn’t this making you crazy?

Sheldon: Leonard, I have something to tell you, but I want you to promise not to*flip out.

Leonard: What?

Sheldon: Seven years ago, I found out the DVD was late and I paid for it.

對話精講：

*hot under the collar：英文中表示“生氣或憤怒”。Collar就是衣領(lǐng)。我們常形容一個人生氣時“臉紅脖子粗”，那么衣服領(lǐng)子就變緊了，人就不舒服了。例如：He got very hot under the collar when I asked him where he'd been all day. （我問他一天都去哪兒了，他頓時火冒三丈。）對話中，Leonard穿上紅毛衣很難受，Sheldon說這句話也是一語雙關(guān)，存心氣人。

*flip out：表示因為太過生氣或激動而失控，out也可以省略。 例如：He completely flipped when he saw the mess in the kitchen. （當(dāng)他看見廚房里一片狼藉時，他簡直被氣瘋了。）
