有人说看美剧就看美剧,你扯什么英语呢,装模作样. 有人说看美剧学英语不过就是个笑话,是一群学习怕吃苦的人自欺欺人. 还有人说我看了N部美剧了,咋英语还没提高呢? 我喜欢美剧,也相信美剧在学习英语上的价值被低估了 我和我的朋友们从2011年10月开始通过读美剧剧本,做笔记来学习 目前我们已经坚持制作了生活大爆炸,老友记,吸血鬼日记和费丽丝蒂四部美剧超过30集的笔记,这四部美剧覆盖了高,中,低三个难度. 从今天起,我打算和这里的朋友免费分享我们创作的 MJE美剧笔记系列, 我就先从生活大爆炸笔记开始分享吧 我们所做的笔记的特色在于 1 我们是把一集分成很多小段来做,充分挖掘每一个值得学习的口语表达 而并非从每一集蜻蜓点水地挑几个单词来做笔记 2 我们不光给出解释,还给出两个例句,帮助大家更好理解词汇的用法 3 笔记的创作过程是开放互动的,你可以参与到我们的学习中来,并获得指导 比如 http://www.mjenglish.org/thread-1770-1-1.html 我计划每天在这里发布1篇笔记, 每篇笔记为一小段剧本+3,4个重难点词汇讲解 欢迎大家没事了,进来读一读,学一点英语 (如果你去我们论坛,读笔记的同时可以看到配套视频) 咱们开始吧~~~ TBBT101-1生活大爆炸之精子银行（1）

不过以后会整理的 ^_^
有的童鞋私信问,除了做笔记是否还有别的学习活动,是有的
我们除了做笔记外,还开展看美剧练听力,看美剧练口语的学习

所有学习活动都是免费的, 因为我们就是一个互助的学习组织,
大家志同道合,一起学习
有的童鞋私信问,口语要怎么练好, 呵呵,这个问题不是几句话能说清的, 我目前在尝试的东西是: 先从读剧本做笔记开始,打好词汇基础; 进而通过看美剧,做听写,提高听力水平; 然后进入模仿跟读美剧锻炼语调语速等; 最后通过MJE演美剧练口语来借助美剧,练习口语

Leonard: Penny, wait.
Penny: Yeah?
Leonard: Um, if you don’t have any other plans, do you want to join us for Thai food and a Superman movie marathon?
Penny: A marathon? Wow, how many Superman movies are there?
Sheldon: You’re kidding, right?
Penny: Yeah, I do like the one where Lois Lane falls from the helicopter and Superman swooshes down and catches her, which one was that?

Sheldon: You realise that scene was rife with scientific inaccuracy.
Penny: Yes, I know, men can’t fly.
Sheldon: Oh no, let’s assume that they can. Lois Lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32 feet per second per second. Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel. Miss Lane, who is now travelling at approximately 120 miles per hour, hits them, and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.
Leonard: Unless, Superman matches her speed and decelerates.

Leonard: Excuse me, your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Superman’s flight is a feat of strength.
Sheldon: Are you listening to yourself, it is well established that Superman’s flight is a feat of strength, it is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from Earth’s yellow Sun.

Sheldon: Uh, a combination of the moon’s solar reflection and the energy storage capacity of Kryptonian skin cells.

Sheldon: What’s your formula for the corner.
Leonard: What? Oh, okay, uh, okay, yeah, no problem, just come up here and help me pull and turn.

Sheldon: You do understand that our efforts here will in no way increase the odds of you having sexual congress with this woman?
Leonard: Men do things for women without expecting sex.
Sheldon: Yeah, those are men who just had sex.

Leonard: You okay?
Sheldon: No, it hurt… (looking around) Great Caesar’s Ghost, look at this place?
Leonard: So Penny’s a little messy.
Sheldon: A little messy? The Mandelbrot set of complex numbers is a little messy, this is chaos. Excuse me, explain to me an organisational system where a tray of flatware on a couch is valid.

发布第十九篇 TBBT102-19 生活大爆炸之Leonard的道歉
Scene: The hallway, Leonard puts a note under Penny’s door. It opens.
Penny: Hi.
Leonard: Oh.
Penny: What’s going on?
Leonard: Um, here’s the thing. (Reads from note.) Penny. Just as Oppenheimer came to regret his contributions to the first atomic bomb, so too I regret my participation in what was, at the very least, an error in judgement. The hallmark of the great human experiment is the willingness to recognise one’s mistakes. Some mistakes, such as Madame Curie’s discovery of Radium turned out to have great scientific potential even though she would later die a slow, painful death from radiationpoisoning. Another example, from the field of ebola research….
Penny: Leonard.
Leonard: Yeah.
Penny (hugs him): We’re okay. (Kisses him on cheek. Closes door. Leonard looks happy, walks back across hallway and straight into the apartment door.)
just as 【释】正像（有道，下同） 【例】Just as a family has to make hard choices about where to spend and where to save , so do we as a government . 作为政府，我们就像一个家庭一样，对于该把钱花在哪里，在哪方面节省钱，不得不做出艰难的抉择。
so too I regret 【释】我也后悔…… 【讲】原文中just as X, so too Y（就像……，……也……）是惯用语法，在一些情况下Y需要用倒装，但并不是必须的。In spoken language, instead of using inversion, we often use stress or some other way of phrasing. 口语中,未必一定要倒装 e.g.Just as the soil is a part of the earth, so too is the atmosphere. （有道）
就像土壤是地球的一部分一样，大气也是地球的一部分。 e.g.Just as he liked and praised a country life in comparison with the life he did not like, so too he liked the peasantry in contradistinction to the class of men he did not like, and so too he knew the peasantry as something distinct from and opposed to men generally. -From a translation of Anna Karenina byTolstoy. 参见：http://www.mjenglish.org/thread-435-1-1.htmlat the very least 【释】至少，起码（有道，下同） 【例】The probe will at the very least lead to tougher guidelines. 这一调查至少将导致更严厉的准则出台。
the hallmark of 【释】an outstanding or distinguishing feature（free，下同） 标志,常常是一项优秀的品质 【例】The sense of guilt is the hallmark of civilized humanity. 内疚感是人类文明的标志
recognize 【释】to admit or to be aware that something exists or is true（牛津高阶）承认 【例】No matter you agree or not , you must recognize his decision is correct .（有道） 不管你愿意还是不愿意，你都必须承认他的决定是对的。
