谢尔顿
你好 诺拉 Hello, Nora.
这不是我最爱的病人吗 Hey, there's my favorite patient!
今天哪里疼啊 What hurts today?
肚肚问题 Tummy troubles.
是吗 真可怜 Oh, no. Sorry to hear it.
我去拿你的档案 Let me grab your file.
在我读高中的期间 Throughout my high school career,
诺拉护士与我 Nurse Nora and I
经历过几次生命危在旦夕的时刻 had been through quite a few close calls...
只是水泡啦 This is just a blister.
你确定吗 Are you sure?
谢尔顿 我跟你保证你没有麻风病 Sheldon, I promise you don't have leprosy.
患处会失去痛觉 常造成四肢反复损伤而需部分截肢
好亮啊 Ooh, that's bright.
证明你没有癔病盲 Proving you don't have hysterical blindness.
患者因精神心理因素导致视力障碍
那你能测试我是不是单纯的癔病吗 Well, can you test for just hysterical?
幻想身体某部位不舒服 却无法被医学检查出来
看起来你咬到脸颊侧的肉了 Oh. Looks like you bit your cheek.
坏血病又称水手病 缺乏维他命C引起 早年船上无法长期保存水果蔬菜 故流行于水手海盗
你怎么知道不是坏血病 How do you know it's not scurvy?
因为你不是个海盗 Because you're not a pirate.
所以这次是肚肚痛吗 So, we've got a tummyache?
我担心我可能得了霍乱 Yes. I'm afraid it might be cholera.
典型症状为几日严重水泄并伴随呕吐
又得了吗 Again?
我有其中一种症状啊 I have one of the symptoms.
按1分到10分 你的疼痛是几分 Okay, on a scale of one to ten, what's your pain level?
3... Three...
.47分 point four seven.
那挺严重呢 That's pretty serious.
但既然你都到3.47分了 But since you're at a 3.47,
我要给你开我所能给的范围中 I'm gonna give you the strongest medication
效果最强的药物了 I'm allowed to give you.
您真是慈悲天使 诺拉护士 You're an angel of mercy, Nurse Nora.
樱桃味的呢 Ooh, cherry.
你好 Hello?
是诺拉啊 Oh. Hey, Nora.
这次又什么病了 What is it this time?
好 谢谢你通知我 Okay, yeah, thanks for lettin' me know.
我会再多留意他 I'll keep an eye on him.
谢尔顿又去医护室了吗 Sheldon back in the nurse's office?
是的 Yep.
让我猜猜 Let me guess.
黄热病 登革热 Yellow fever. Dengue fever.
猫抓热 Cat scratch fever.
霍乱 Cholera.
我本来要猜霍乱了呢 Ooh! I was gonna say cholera.
四个顶点都在同一个圆上的四边形 A quadrilateral that can be inscribed in a circle
可被称为圆内接四边形 is an example of a cyclic polygon.
谢尔顿别跟我吵 老娘正看着这图呢 Sheldon, don't argue with me, I'm looking at it right here.
虽然诺拉护士给的特殊药 While Nurse Noras special medicine
起了暂时缓解的作用 had given me a temporary reprieve,
但我的疼痛还是上升到了4.9分 my pain had escalated to a 4.9.
而英格拉姆女士令人疑惑的数学能力 Although Ms. Ingram's questionable math skills
也完全对我没帮助 certainly weren't helping.
谢尔顿你没事吧 Sheldon, you okay?
你会没事的 You're gonna be fine.
好好拉一泡屎 一切都会随马桶被冲走 One good dump and you'll feel right as rain.
你能别这么称呼它吗 Can you please not call it that?
什么 "一泡屎"吗 What, "dump"?
是的 Yes.
你想我说"便便"吗 You want me to say "poop"?
我想要你别再说这个 I want you to stop talking about it.
肠动呢 B.M.?
老爸 Dad!
他在哪 Where is he?
他没事啦 He's fine.
他在厕所里撇大条呢 He's in the bathroom workin' it out.
谢利 你在里面还好吧 Shelly, you okay in there?
不好 No.
再坚持个几分钟 Give it a few more minutes!
专心致志 Eyes on the prize!
这不是排泄的问题 This is not a fecal issue!
我进来了 I'm coming in.
我的肚子真的好痛啊 妈妈 My tummy really hurts, Mom.
感觉你好像有点发热 You do feel a bit warm.
好了 等你从厕所出来 Okay, you finish up in here,
就上床躺着 我给你端一杯姜汁汽水 get in bed, and I'll bring you some ginger ale.
加拿大牌姜汁汽水吗 Canada Dry?
是的 Yes.
室温的吗 Room temperature?
是的 Yes.
快没气吗 Mostly flat?
我会用汤匙帮你把气给搅掉 I'll stir the fizz out with a spoon.
谢谢你 妈妈 Thanks, Mom.
你为什么都不这么宠爱我 Why don't you dote on me like that?
因为他是我的小宝贝 Because he's my baby.
我也可以当你的宝贝啊 Well, I could be your baby.
现在轮到我紧张到肚子痛了 Oh, now I have a stomachache.
你怎么样了 宝贝 How you feelin', baby?
记得那次我在公交站吃的金枪鱼三明治吗 Remember the tuna sandwich I had at the bus station?
怎么了 Yeah?
比那次还糟糕 Worse than that.
乖孩子 我也很心疼 Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
我相信你睡一觉起来就会舒服了 I'm sure youll feel better in the morning.
妈 你知道双胞胎可以感觉到彼此的疼痛吗 Hey, Mom, you know how twins can feel each others pain?
你明天别想翘课 You're going to school tomorrow.
我觉得她越来越聪明了 I think shes gettin' smarter.
别紧张 他睡下了 Relax, he's sleeping.
为什么我生病的时候你都不紧张 How come when I'm sick it's no big deal,
但当谢尔顿生病的时候 but when Sheldon gets sick
你表现得好像世界末日一样 you act like it's the end of the world?
因为他是个脆弱的小男孩 Because he's a fragile little boy
而你快长成一个强壮的男人了 and you're gettin' to be a big, strong man.
这倒是真的 That's true.
青春期可待我不薄 Puberty has done right by me.
妈 谢尔顿好像真的很不对劲 Mom? Something's really wrong with Sheldon.
快来个医生啊 We need a doctor here!
在那一刻 我过于痛苦 In that moment, I was in too much pain
都没法跟我爸说"早跟你说了吧" to tell my father, "I told you so."
但之后的好多年 我都不断地提醒他这事 But for years after, I reminded him constantly.
他怎么样了 So how's he doing?
可怜的孩子啊 Aw, poor little guy.
好吧 如果你有任何需要的 All right, well, if there's anything you need,
你尽管告诉我 let me know.
我也爱你 I love you, too.
怎么样了 Well?
你弟弟没事 Your brother's gonna be fine,
但是他得切除掉胆囊 but he has to have his gallbladder removed.
那他以后怎么尿尿 How's he gonna pee?
那个是膀胱 是胆囊 Not that bladder, his gallbladder.
胆囊有什么作用啊 What's the gallbladder do?
可被切除的东西 估计没太大作用吧 I guess not much, if they're takin it out.
你觉得他会带回家来给我们看看吗 You think he'll bring it home so we can see it?
我再问问 I'll ask.
感觉好内疚啊 Oh, I feel terrible.
我怎么会知道是胆囊出问题了 How was I supposed to know it was his gallbladder?
医生说很少发生在儿童身上 The doctor says it's rare in children.
他总是在说哪里哪里不舒服 Well, he's always complaining about some health issue
而通常... 通常都没什么事 and it... it's usually nothin'.
我知道 乔治 I know, George.
毕竟都多少次... I mean, how many times...
我在祷告呢 I'm prayin' here!
好 对不起 对不起 Right, sorry. Sorry.
止痛药应该已经开始起作用了 So, those pain meds should already be kicking in.
而我的好兄弟盖瑞 Then my buddy Gary here
将会使用麻醉气体 帮助你睡过去 is gonna administer the gas, which'll help you sleep.
等你被麻醉了 And once you're under,
我们就能切开一个小口子 we'll make a little incision
然后把作乱的那坏东西给抓出来 and snatch that guy right outta there.
有问题吗 Any questions?
有 Yes.
哪门子的医生会说 What kind of doctor says,
"把作乱的那坏东西给抓出来啊" "snatch that guy right out of there?"
只是想让你放宽心嘛 Just trying to put you at ease.
没作用 It didn't work.
你是去哪上的医学院 Where did you go to medical school?
内布拉斯加大学[乡下] University of Nebraska.
要命 Uh-oh.
你好歹是以荣誉毕业的吧 Did you at least graduate with honors?
班级尖子生 Top of my class.
过去24小时中你是否饮用过酒类 Have you had any alcohol in the last 24 hours?
一滴都没喝 Not a drop.
你昨晚睡了多... How much sleep did you get last...
-盖瑞 能不能... -没问题 - Gary, can we... - Got it.
放轻松 开始从100倒数 Just relax and start counting backwards from 100.
等等 盖瑞 Wait, Gary...
你的麻醉学是在哪里读... Where did you study anesthesiolo...
左满舵 Hard to port!
好的 亚哈船长 Aye aye, Captain Ahab.
它浮上水面喷气了 Thar she blows!
胆囊就在正前方 Gallbladder dead ahead!
亚哈船长你饿了吗 Captain Ahab, are you hungry?
你想来吃一碗稀饭吗 Do you want a bowl of gruel?
妈 现在不是时候 我在追击我的心魔 Not now, Mom, I'm in pursuit of my inner demons.
可真是个令人敬畏的器官 Aye, she's a formidable organ.
看起来是只鲸鱼啊 Just looks like a whale.
是暗喻好吗 傻子 It's a metaphor, doofus.
有个美梦 亲爱的 Sweet dreams, honey.
我尽量 I'll try.
你弟弟会没事的 Your brother's gonna be just fine.
我知道 Yeah, I know.
这样吧 I'll tell you what.
如果我收到任何消息 我会来把你叫醒 If I hear any news, I will come and wake you up.
谢谢 Thank you.
晚安 Night night.
真是太扯了 This is ridiculous.
他们说一个半小时就好 现在都要两小时了 They said an hour and a half; its been almost two.
我要去吼人了 I'm gonna go yell at somebody.
真棒 去吼每个人 Good. Yell at everybody.
你们都可以松口气了 Uhp, ah, ya'll can exhale.
手术很顺利 Surgery went great.
感谢你 上帝 Thank you, Jesus.
谢尔顿要留院三四天 Sheldon's gonna need to stay here three, four days,
这是标准流程 which is standard,
但之后他就可以回家了 but, uh, after that he's good to go home.
太感谢你了 医生 Really appreciate it, Doctor.
你这样照顾他 我们感激不尽 We can't thank you enough for takin' care of him.
他非常聪明 对吧 He's extremely intelligent, isn't he?
是的 Oh, yeah.
他是我们家的小天才 He's our special little boy.
你准备好见你的家人了吗 Are you ready to see your family?
嗯 Yes.
那就好 因为他们等不及要见你啦 That's good, 'cause they're ready to see you.
好了 Okay.
他在那呢 我的小宝贝 There he is, there's my baby.
哥们 你感觉怎么样啊 Hey, buddy. How you feeling?
我给你带了漫画 I brought you some comic books.
小饼饼 Hi, Moonpie.
姥姥好 Hi, Meemaw.
你的胆囊在哪 Where's your gallbladder?
我想看看 I want to see it.
已经扔了 孩子 They throw it away, honey.
为什么 Why?
我可以回家了吗 Can I go home now?
还不行 宝贝 他们要你留院一阵子 No, baby, they need to keep you here a little while,
好确定你没事 make sure you're okay.
要过夜吗 Overnight?
事实上 Actually, a...
要过几晚 few nights.
不行 跟他们说我要回家 No, tell them I'm going home.
谢利 医生知道怎样做对你最好 Shelly, the doctors know what's best for you.
对我最好的就是让我回家 What's best for me is to be at home,
睡在自己床上 有书有电脑 in my own bed, with my books and my computer.
你想要什么我都可以拿来 你开口就行 Well, I can bring you whatever you want. Just-just tell me.
我刚不是说了 带我回家 I just told you: bring me home.
小饼饼 你没看出这事好在哪 Moonpie, you're looking at this all wrong.
你在这里能有自己的房间和电视 You got your own room here, your own TV.
没人在听我说话吗 我想回家 Is no one listening to me? I want to go home.
我有在听啊 但我没有发言权 I'm listening, but I have no say in this.
毫不意外 虽然我坚决抗议 No surprise, despite my adamant protest,
但我还是不能回家 I didn't go home.
我只能住院 默默忍受 Instead, I had to stay and suffer in silence
就像我妈把我教养成的南部绅士那样 like the Southern gentleman my mother raised me to be.
这是什么玩意 我不是要红色的吗 What's this? I asked for red.
他们只有绿色的 All they had was green.
那我们之间麻烦可就大了 对不对 Well, then you and I have a problem, don't we?
变变变 是只狗 Tada! A dog.
老天 这又不是真狗 For God's sake, it's not a real dog.
给你 橙汁 Here you go. One O.J.
我看到果肉了 I see pulp.
你没看到 No, you don't.
我用纸巾过滤过了 I strained it with a paper towel.
这下我只能喝到纸巾味了 Now all I can taste is towel.
还有果肉 And pulp.
要命了 又是库珀 Ugh, man, it's Cooper again.
你去行不 Can you take it?
非得去吗 Do I have to?
他问我是不是男性职位都满人了所以当护士 He asked me if all the jobs for men were taken.
我去吧 你就待在这涂指甲油 I'll get it. You just stay here and do your nails.
干嘛 What?
你知道我妈妈在哪吗 Do you know where my mother is?
她应该去食堂了 你需要什么 I think she went down to the cafeteria. What do you need?
我睡不着 I can't sleep.
你试过数绵羊没 Did you try counting sheep?
不行 我害怕家畜 Oh, no, I'm afraid of farm animals.
不意外 那我不知道能帮你什么了 Of course you are. Well, I don't know what I can do for you.
你会唱《软猫猫》吗 Do you know the "Soft Kitty" song?
不会 No.
我教你唱 拿笔记本来 I'll teach it to you. Get a notepad.
好了 Okay.
我拿了你的枕头和毯子来 I got your pillow and your blanket.
谢利 你该说什么 Shelly, what do you say?
为什么闻起来有米希的味道 Why does it smell like Missy?
你做得很棒 亲爱的 You're doing great, honey.
这是怎么回事 What's going on?
这位是你的新室友 瑞奇 This is Ricky, your new roommate.
很高兴认识你 Nice to meet you.
真对不起 I am so sorry.
只是一晚而已 It's just for one night.
医生说你明天就能回家了 They said you going home tomorrow.
他们也说过我会有自己的房间 They also said I'd have my own room.
他最好没有传染病 He better not be contagious.
-他没有 -你确定吗 - He's not. - Are you sure?
要不要问问他的医生 Should we ask his doctor?
你刚问过我了 我说没有 You just asked me and I said no.
但你又不是医生 你的职业生涯止步于护士 But you're not a doctor. Your career stalled at nurse.
给我听好了 Okay, listen.
我忍够你那些胡说八道了 到此为止 I done put up with your nonsense long enough, and it ends now.
那男孩是你的室友 That boy is your roommate,
这已成定局 你不接受也得接受 that's the situation and you gonna make the best of it.
听明白了吗 You get my drift?
谢尔顿明天就能回家吗 So Sheldon comes home tomorrow?
是的 Yep.
大家都在想同件事 我就直说了吧 Everybodys thinking it, so I'm gonna say it.
这段时间没有他在 好逍遥 This has been a nice break.
不许这么说你弟弟 Hey. Don't talk about your brother like that.
你几时开始站在他那边了 Since when are you on his side?
自从爸爸差点让他死掉开始 Since Dad almost let him die.
不 No!
难以置信 Unbelievable.
放的不是卡通就是男人穿着内裤 Its either cartoons or men in their underwear
在打架 banging their heads together.
你真爱抱怨 You complain a lot.
你说什么 Excuse me?
说真的 哥们 你得放轻松 Seriously, dude, you need to relax.
我怎么放松得了 How can I relax?
我被囚禁在细菌游乐场 I'm being held captive in a bacterial playground.
你为什么要住院 Why are you here?
我的胆囊需要被切除 那你呢 I had to have my gallbladder removed. Why are you here?
我明天要动手术 I'm having surgery tomorrow.
为什么 How come?
我天生心脏就有个洞 I was born with a hole in my heart.
我妈说每个人生来心里就有个耶稣形状的洞 My mom says everyone is born with a Jesus-shaped hole in their heart,
但我想你的情况不一样 but I'm guessing this is different.
对 他们要给我心脏打补丁 Yeah, they're gonna put a patch on it.
补丁就永远留在那吗 And then it just stays there forever?
没错 就像不用揭下来的止血贴 Yeah, like a Band-Aid you never have to pull off.
那太好了 止血贴最大的缺点就是揭开很疼 That's great, because that's the worst thing about Band-Aids.
他们虽然割除了我的胆囊 They may have removed my gallbladder,
但无法割除我独特的幽默感 but not my wicked sense of humor.
你在画什么 Whatcha working on?
欢迎谢尔顿回家的标语 A welcome home sign for Sheldon.
真贴心 Oh, that's a nice thing.
是啊 不过首字母W就花了我半小时 Yeah, but this "W" took me half an hour.
要帮忙吗 Hmm. You want some help?
要 Yeah.
小乔治 给我滚进来 Georgie, get your ass in here!
你怎么发现你心脏有个洞的 How did you find out you have a hole in your heart?
我踢足球时晕倒了 I fainted playing soccer.
那我算很幸运 Hmm, I guess I'm fortunate.
为什么 Why?
因为我不踢足球 以后也永远不会踢 I don't and never will play soccer.
你怎么发现你胆囊有问题的 How did you know something was wrong with your gallbladder?
一开始只是轻微肚肚痛 It started as a minor tummyache,
然后变成严重肚肚痛 then escalated to a major tummyache.
幸好我很擅长忍痛 Luckily, I handle pain well.
你回家后要干什么 What are you gonna do when you get home?
使用我能放松享受的厕所 Enjoy a bathroom I can relax in.
虽然我挺喜欢 Although I do like that there's
这里的厕所有个红色紧急按钮 a big red emergency button in there.
其实我不介意住院 I actually don't mind it here.
那这里的食物呢 What about the food?
是比不上我奶奶做的粉蒸肉 但也没什么比得上 It's not as good as my grandma's tamales, but nothing is.
她照顾你多久了 How long has she been taking care of you?
从小到大 My whole life.
她也想来陪我 但她得照看我弟弟 She'd be here, but she's watching my brother.
我姥姥有时也照顾我们几个 My meemaw takes care of us sometimes, too.
能治好我心脏的问题 我很激动 I'm excited for my heart to be fixed,
因为痊愈后她就不用再担心我了 cause then, she won't have to worry about me anymore.
不过 等他们给我心脏打上补丁后 But hey, once they put the patch on my heart,
我就有点像钢铁侠一样啦 I'll sort of be like Iron Man.
严格来说 钢铁侠装的是磁铁 不是补丁 Technically, Iron Man has a magnet, not a patch.
严格来说 我说的是"有点像" And technically, I said "sort of."
说得好 Touche.
他去哪了 瑞奇呢 Where'd he go? Where's Ricky?
他去做手术了 He's in surgery.
不过你看我在干什么 But look what I'm doing.
我在收拾东西 准备带你回家 I'm packing up so we can go home.
我们能等他做完手术再走吗 Can we wait until he's done?
手术估计要做很久 亲爱的 I think it's gonna be a while, honey,
不如我们先回家 but why don't we get a move on
晚点再问问他的情况 and then we can check on him later?
好吧 Okay.
等一下 One second.
你好 罗宾逊护士 Excuse me, Nurse Robinson?
什么事 Yes?
你能把这本钢铁侠漫画给瑞奇吗 Will you give this Iron Man comic to Ricky?
我会确保他收到 I'll see that he gets it.
谢谢你 Thank you.
还有呢 Mm-hmm.
也谢谢你照顾我 And thank you for taking care of me.
不客气 You're welcome.
要保持健康啊 You stay healthy.
好的 I will.
他什么时候人变这么好了 When did he become nice?
我搭下一趟吧 Uh, I'll get the next one.
欢迎回家 谢尔顿
我其实挺想你的 I actually missed you.
这多有爱啊 Ain't that nice?
你想我哪一点 What about me did you miss?
不知道 I don't know.
好好想想 然后告诉我 Well, think about it and get back to me.
他还给你布置功课了 Ha, he gave you homework.
谢尔顿 我刚跟医院那位护士 Sheldon, I just got off the phone with that nurse
通完电话 from the hospital.
你的小室友会恢复健康 Your little roommate's gonna be just fine.
太好了 那我就放心了 Oh, good. That's a relief.
你想去看望他吗 Would you like to go visit him?
不想 为什么要去 No. Why?
给你的 谢尔顿 Okay, here we go, Sheldon.
"精密天文折射望远镜" One "Precision astronomical refractor telescope."
好棒 谢谢爸爸 Wow. Thanks, Dad.
接下来几周 我那深感内疚的父亲 For the next few weeks, my guilt-ridden father
继续送了我好多礼物 continued to lavish me with gifts.
然后橄榄球季后赛开始了 我好日子就到头了 Then the football playoffs started and that was that.
时间到 你想我哪一点了 Time's up. What did you miss about me?
