Amy: Professor Tupperman is dead, and that makes us?
Tupperman教授去世了，这让我们感到？

伤心。
Amy: The fact that there are so many people here tonight doesn't make us cranky and claustrophobic. It makes us?

Sheldon: Glad.
高兴。
Amy: Giving Mrs. Davis the box set of Roots was?
送给Davis夫人《根》这部剧的DVD套装是？
box set 盒装，套装
Roots 《根》，是美国历史上非常著名的一部电视剧，讲述了非洲裔美国人在奴隶制时期的经历。因此，在《生活大爆炸》这段情节中，Sheldon给Davis女士（是非裔）送《根》的DVD，显得不合时宜和不敏感，因为这是一部涉及非裔美国人奴隶制历史的剧集。Amy在这段对话中试图提醒Sheldon，送出这样的礼物是“糟糕的”（bad），暗示这是社交上不合适的举动。
Sheldon: Bad. However…
Amy: No.
Sheldon: Fine. Bad.
糟糕。不过…
不。
好吧，糟糕。
Raj: Unbelievable. You have some nerve showing up here just to schmooze with the tenure committee.
真是难以置信。你有胆量来这里就是为了和终身教职委员会搞好关系。
nerve /nɜːrv/ the courage to do sth difficult or dangerous 勇气；气魄

Sheldon: You're here.
你也来了。

抱歉，我是来向Tupperware教授（不管他叫什么名字）表示敬意的。
pay (my) respects to 向……致敬：表示对某人或某事的敬意和尊重。
Tupperware 是一个幽默的误称。Raj本应提到 Tupperman 教授（真实的人名），但他却把名字说成了 Tupperware，这是一个塑料容器品牌。这种误称形成了一个幽默的梗。Raj 这样说其实是为了展现他并不太关心这位教授（连名字都没记住），并且他对 Sheldon 的指责带着讽刺的态度，自己实际上也不是来真正表达敬意，而是出于别的个人原因。
Sheldon: So am I. His passing makes me feel bad.
我也是。他的去世让我感到难过。

哎呀哎呀，Sheldon，真巧在这里见到你。我猜Glendale的火车店今天并没有举行舞会。而你，你说你也不会来这儿的。

Amy: I'd like to know why Penny's here.
我想知道Penny为什么来了。
Penny: I'm here to support my man, just like you.
我是来支持我男人的，和你一样。
Sheldon: What are you going to do? Take people's drink orders and get them wrong?
你打算做什么？帮大家点饮料然后搞错订单？
Leonard: Do it.
做吧。
Sheldon: What? Did she do it yet?
什么？她做了吗？
Amy: She plans on flirting with members of the tenure committee to further Leonard's cause.
她打算和终身教职委员会的成员调情，以推动Leonard的事业。
flirt with sb 与某人调情
further Leonard's cause 意思是“推动Leonard的事业”或“帮助Leonard的目标”。其中，"further" 是一个动词，意思是“推进”或“促进”，而 "Leonard's cause" 指的是Leonard在争取的目标或利益。
Sheldon: Well, that's a fine how-do-you-do. Don't just stand there. Take your breasts out.

你们都在浪费时间。Sheldon是最有资格得到这份工作的，任何引力违背的胸都无法改变这个事实。说真的，这是用胶带粘的吗？为什么它们能那样挺着？
quali·fied /ˈkwɑːlɪfaɪd/ ~ (for sth) having passed the exams or completed the training that are necessary in order to do a particular job; having the experience to do a particular job 具备…的学历（或资历）
gravity-defying /ˈɡrævəti dɪˈfaɪɪŋ/ 反重力的
bosom /ˈbʊzəm/ a woman's chest or breasts 女人的胸部（或乳房）
Leonard: Way to hit'em with both barrels.
真是一击双响。
hit (one) with both barrels To scold, criticize, or attack one with great intensity or aggression. The phrase refers to a double-barreled firearm. 是一种习语表达，意思是“真是全力出击了”或“你真是下重手了”。它源自射击术语，指用双管猎枪同时发射两颗子弹，表示非常强烈或不留情面的行动。
Raj: You two should be ashamed of yourselves. Using women to advance your cause with sexuality, and whatever Amy plans on doing.
你们两个真该为自己感到羞耻。利用女性的性吸引力推进事业，还有Amy计划做的那些事。

好吧，因为这点并不明确。

Sheldon: What? That was ambiguous.
怎么了？这很模棱两可。
am·bigu·ous /æmˈbɪɡjuəs/ not clearly stated or defined 不明确的
Raj: Well, now it's biguous. What are you gonna do about it?
嗯，现在可清楚了。你要怎么做？
Biguous 在这里是一个搞笑的虚构词，源自 "ambiguous"（模棱两可的、不清楚的）。Raj 在这段对话中故意创造了 "biguous" 这个词，以讽刺 Sheldon 的说法，意思是“现在已经清楚了”或“明确了”。这是对 Sheldon 之前说 "That was ambiguous"（那是模棱两可的）的一种调侃回应。
Sheldon: Um…
Howard: You could talk some smack about his mother.
呃...
你可以说他妈妈的坏话。
talk smack to make critical or insulting comments to someone, especially an opponent 习语表达，说一些贬低或诋毁别人的话，通常是为了显示自己的优越感或者引起别人的注意。
Sheldon: Well, yes, of course, he wouldn't like that at all. Last night, I was feeling in need of sexual release when I happened to come across your mother.
嗯，当然，他肯定不喜欢那样。昨晚，我正需要性释放，碰巧遇到了你妈妈。
in need of 需要某物；急需某物

Leonard: Okay, okay. Guys, what are we doing here?

Sheldon: I don't know what you're doing, but I was about to insinuate that I had coitus with Raj’s mother for a dollar.
我不知道你们在干什么，但我正打算暗示我和Raj的妈妈以一美元发生了性关系。

拓展例句：
- What are you trying to insinuate? 你拐弯抹角想说什么

Leonard: Oh, you do what you want, but I don't want to lose my friends over tenure. Friends are forever.
