楼主是说那集里,Penny受到新邻居的威胁,特意在网上找了个科学笑话来讨好Leonard他们。
这个笑话是在11分23秒左右,以下是台词:
This physicist goes into an ice cream parlor every week and orders an ice sundae for himself,
有个物理学家每周都去冰激凌店点一个圣代给自己吃
and then offers one to the empty stool sitting next to him
然后再点一个圣代放在旁边的空座位上
This goes on for a while
好久以来,他一直这样做
until the owner finally asks him what he's doing
有一天店主终于问他为什么这样
The man says, "well I'm a physicist, and quantum mechanics teaches us that it is possible for the matter above this stool to spontaneously turn into a beautiful woman, who might accept my offer and fall in love with me"
他说,“我是物理学家,而量子物理理论告诉我们,有一定的几率这张椅子会自动变成一位美丽的女人,而这女人会有可能接受我的邀请并且爱上我”
The owner then says, "Well, lots of single, beautiful women come in here everyday, why don't you buy an ice cream for one of them, and they might fall in love with you"
店主说,“这里每天都有很多漂亮且单身的MM,为什么你不买份圣代给她们呢?她们可能会爱上你啊”
And the physicist says, "yeah, but what are the odds of that happening?"
那物理学家说,“算了,这种事情发生的几率又是多大呢?”
我是文科的,但我猜这里提到的量子物理学是比如说物体是由量子构成,而量子是随机变化的。所以就理论来说,既然量子是随机变化,那在一定几率下,一堆量子会组合出一个漂亮的女人。但是可以想到,这样的几率是微乎其微接近于零的,类似于几兆亿分之一的。
而这个笑话的笑点是当店主推荐他买冰激凌给店里实际存在的女人的时候,物理学家拒绝了,因为他觉得这些女人爱上他的几率太小。相比之下,他反而觉得旁边的座位变成一个爱上他的MM的几率会高一些。
