追美剧《生活大爆炸》学口语(4)

　　剧情梗概：谢耳朵最爱的《夺宝奇兵》遭Amy吐槽。于是，他找出Amy最爱看的电视节目，并约她到家中观看，各种报复和找茬就这样开始了……

　　对话文字：

　　Sheldon: You see that cabin there? I read they were illegally squatting on Indian land.

　　Yeah. Personally, I think what we did to the Native Americans was wrong, but this is your favorite show, not mine.

　　Sheldon: Oh, look at little Laura Ingalls, eating that peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter?! That’s strange, since peanut butter wasn’t introduced until the early 1900s. If I knew this show was about time travel, I would have watched it much sooner.

　　Amy: You are trying to *get back at me for what I said about Raiders of the Lost Ark.

　　Sheldon: That’s silly. Almost as silly as Dr. Baker having a telephone, since telephone only existed in large cities at that time. This is more like Little House on the Preposterous.

　　Amy: Sheldon, we’re in a relationship. When you get angry, just tell me. You don’t need to seek revenge.

　　Sheldon: Are you sure? Every time my dad stayed out all night, my mom would put hamster poop in his chewing tobacco.

　　Amy: Well, that’s not how we’re going to do it.

　　Sheldon: Fine. I’m mad at you. Not only did you ruin Raiders for me, you may have ruined the whole franchise. Except for the fourth one, which was bad before you got your mitts on it.

　　Amy: I- I shouldn’t have said it, I’m sorry.

　　Sheldon: Thank you.

　　Amy: Do you feel better?

　　Sheldon: Yes. But not as good as I’m going to when I tell you that your precious Garfield has no reason to hate Mondays. He’s a cat. He doesn’t have a job.

　　对话精讲：

　　*get back at somebody: 打击报复。 这是一个比较口语的说法。例如：I'll find a way of getting back at him! (我会想办法报复他的。)后面的对话里，Amy还提到了seek revenge，意思也是“找机会报复”。如果想说”对某人实施报复“，还可以用 take revenge on somebody 这个短语。 例如：He swore to take (his) revenge on his enemies. (他发誓要报复他的敌人。)
