...【美剧】The Big Bang Theory (生活大爆炸） 学习笔记 [pic] 花了两个星期时间补习TBBT，今天总算是看完了第三季，第四季就只能one episode a week的追了。在看的过程中，很努力地想一边做笔记，可惜经常看着看着就笑颠了给忘记了。不过断断续续的，还是记了一些个人觉得都是比较常见实用的口语，那些什么复杂的词，一个都没记，反正也没怎么用（我态度很不端正）。很抱歉没时间没耐心也没有那个能力对每一个知识点进行专业地分析拓展哈，都是一些个人的理解，而且当时做笔记的时候只记了英文，结果有些中文意思都忘了，bummer，我尽量回忆吧。这些东西其实都非常基础，但能把他们都记住并用于实际应用就已经很不错了。笔记不太全，基本按着个人喜好记的，哪顺眼就记哪个。也许有一天兴致来了还会把TBBT从头再看一遍，那时再补充吧。（这份笔记整理的都是一些日常用语，没有像其他笔记那么多的专业东西哦） boarding school 寄宿学校 I think I made my point. 我觉得我说得很清楚了. （还有一种说法是 My point exactly, 可以翻译成“我就说嘛/我说得对吧”) You heard me. （这个短语不知道要怎么解释，“你听到我说什么了”，这样翻译好像很奇怪。给个场景：两个人吵架，你骂了对方一句“you moron”，对反很愤怒的回了一句“what did you just say？（你再给我说一遍！）”，于是，你就可以用“You heard me（你知道我在说什么，老娘懒得再讲一遍）”回骂了） Can I ask you a favor? 能请你帮个忙吗? （还有好多种说法：Can you do me a favor / give me a hand? ect. 挑一句顺眼的记就够了） I learnt my lesson.我得到教训了. out of my league 我高攀不上 (有部电影就叫"She's out of my league",当时看了一点点就没心情看下去了,不评论) Don't take it personally. 别往心里去, 这不是针对你 spare key 备用钥匙 (老外经常会把自己家的钥匙备份一份给邻居,或者是在家门口的某个位置藏一把sapre key,门框上或花盆下等。所以我觉得国外的home security 很不安全,这会不会就是有那么多罪案片的原因?CSI 系列,CM,Bones ,Closer ,好多好多,每一集都要翘上几个人.) chaos 混乱 （读音挺有意思的一个次，和mess是近义词） break in one's house 闯入某人家里 chatty 爱闲聊的;爱说话的 Here is the thing. 事情是这样的 (一般用于一个conversation的开头,特别是要对某人解释某件事情的时候,貌似都是不怎么好的事) I don't think you have a shot.你没机会的。 pepper spray 胡椒水喷剂（防狼工具之一，taser也是一种，但是女性一般用的是pepper spray） shave one's leg 刮脚毛 self-taught expert 自学天才 （sheldon自夸的） fair enough 很公平、有道理 throw up...

...the actors/actresses that will be featured on YouTube, and sold on iTunes. By doing this, not only can the show make money from being on TV, but it can make some money by selling songs and potentially the outreach can go to reach more listeners who will hopefully watch the show. There have been plenty of musical shows that gain a great following but sizzle out. Comedies are some of the most lucrative shows on TV, as shown by the Big Bang Theory, or Parks and Recreation. Even after the end of production, the show could be sold for syndication in order to make profits after the end of production. My show would be aimed at the 18-34 demographics because these people are up with what is current and can use social media to talk about the show. The show could be shown on TV or potentially Netflix depending on how negotiations would work. In terms of actors, I don’t have exact names for actors on the show, but I have an idea for casting direction. A lot of the time, actors’ names do not have any correlation for the length or ratings of a show. So getting big name actors who have a have prestige makes little difference to the quality of the show. Plus, it would cost more to pay more well-known actors who can negotiate good deals. Casting would essentially be actors who either have Broadway or some form of musical background. These people would be able to sing the songs on the show and potentially bring in some viewers. In terms of social media, since songs will be featured and...

...While riding on the A/C/E subway on Eighth Avenue, Daniel Stewart discovered an abandoned, brown-skinned infant quietly sleeping, while wrapped in a dark sweatshirt. Daniel then showed his discovery to his partner, Peter Mercurio who quickly dialed 911. The couple eagerly awaited the arrival of authorities, not wanting to leave the infant. Authorities soon arrived and took the child into their care. The story made the news. A couple months later, Stewart was called to testify. During the case the judge asked Stewart, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?" Stewart instantly thought yes. However, his partner Peter, knew the journey would be rough. Stewart said, "I saw this opportunity here, this gift to be parents to this child. And how could we not say yes to that opportunity?" "It seemed like it was divine intervention -- it was meant to be." Upon receiving the baby, Mercurio said, "Our paternal instincts took over and it became a natural thing of how to take care of him," They took their son home on a snowy day, riding the same C train where they found him. The couple continued to raise the baby just as any heterosexual couple. Stewart claimed, "I mean, deep down when you strip away all those layers, all those labels, we're all human beings and were all connected by certain things that we need in our lives – love”(Mears). Homosexuality is “normal” sexual behavior. Homosexuality is a sexual attraction to (or sexual relations with) persons of the same sex. The term...

...Psychological Disorders Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs when someone has gone through or experienced a traumatic event in their life. The person suffering from PTSD experiences reoccurring episodes of the traumatic event they experienced. There are many different types of traumatic events that could trigger this disease. Some examples that may lead to PTSD are witnessing a crime, domestic abuse, and war. The most experience I have had with PTSD is learning about soldiers who have been affected by fighting in war. I’ve read several fiction novels that display a soldier dealing with PTSD. In Tim O’Brien’s fiction novel The Things They Carried, many soldiers are affected by fighting in the Vietnam War. The book takes the reader through the soldiers’ experiences while fighting, and then fast-forwards to years down the road when the veterans are much older. The reason for this is to show how the veterans are still affected by the war many years later. One particular soldier, Norman Bowker, spent his late years reflecting on his time in the war. He blamed himself for what happened to his fellow soldiers. He first handily watched one of his good friends die in combat. Bowker had the chance to save his friend, but he was unable to do so. Norman had reoccurring episodes where he found himself in the middle of combat, not knowing what to do. After these episodes occurred, he felt no purpose of living anymore. The aftermath of the war is what got to Bowker...

...Interpersonal Conflict In Television George Morgan COM200: Interpersonal Communication Instructor, Elizabeth E. Nelson January 1, 2016 Relationship conflicts happen in television, just as they happen in everyday life. As in life, one can see interpersonal conflict in television that could have been resolved in a better way. I noticed interpersonal conflict in a television episode of "The Big Bang Theory" titled "The Empathy Optimization". Kaplan, E., Holland, S., Molaro, S., Lorre, C., & Cohen, R. (Executive producers). (2007-2014). The big bang theory [Television series]. United States: Columbia Broadcasting System. The resolution to the conflict could have been resolved better by using efficient methods of communicating between the actors. Verbal and non-verbal communications were not used to the scripts best advantage. The ability to listen, along with the use of problem solving skills, were not used effectively. We must remember this is a comedy series, involving several characters with different perceptions of what reality is. The conflicts in this particular episode revolves around empathy, and the actions and reactions, involving one of the characters temporary sickness. The sick persons’ empathic friends took into consideration their sick friends perspective, as well as his thoughts and feelings. His friends recalled similar experiences in their own lives that had generated needy feelings of their own. Their sick friend complained about...

...Question 1: The Big Bang Theory, a television show, follows many management concepts. In the episode, “The Bus Pants Utilization”(See Appendix), Leonard comes up with an idea to create a smartphone application will help solve differential equations. This episode conveys the disadvantages of team decision making and correlates directly with Ben Schneider’s ASA theory. As Leonard came up with the idea, Sheldon cannot let go of the fact he’s not in control of the situation nor the leader of the gang. Ultimately, most time is spent on the power struggle between Sheldon and Leonard, and Sheldon naming the device after his initials, rather than working with the group and developing a business strategy. Another disadvantage of team decision making in the episode is displayed through Raj and Howard’s indecisiveness and compromise with the decisions of both leaders. In the end, Leonard emerges as the natural leader, as he displays that he can hold the group together and his ability to work with team. As in Ben Schneider’s ASA model, the team attracted a leader that seemed to embody the team’s objectives, then selected the leader that embodied the team’s objectives, then Leonard fired Sheldon as did not embody the team’s objectives. This episode is a direct correlation of art reflecting the finance business. Usually there is not group decision making as it’s too costly and the power struggle for leadership takes too much time. The key in finance is to make money. If you can emerge...

...Ideology and Messages About Culture in Prime Time Television Seven days a week, 24 hours a day there is something to watch on television. There are reality shows, newscasts, news programs, dramas, sitcoms, the list is endless. The Big Bang Theory, The Millers, Law & Order: SVU, and Blue Bloods are all part of the prime time lineup of shows throughout any given week. The Big Bang Theory, airs on CBS and was created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. It is the story of two brilliant physicists that work at CalTech in Pasadena, CA. Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are co-workers, best friends and roommates. Sheldon is “regimented, deeply eccentric, and non-conventional” in his thinking which is a consistent hardship on the relationship between these two friends (“Plot Summary”). They are friends with colleagues Howard Wolowitz, a mechanical engineer, and Rajesh Koothrappali, an Indian immigrant who works as an astrophysicist. The foursome are “self-professed nerds, [with] little or no luck with popular women” (“Plot Summary”). A neighbor, Penny, is of average mind but compared to this brilliant squad she’s made to seem of less than average intelligence. Leonard’s goal is to get Penny to be his girlfriend. Immediately following Big Bang is The Millers created by Greg Garcia and starring Will Arnett. Arnett plays the part of Nathan, a single reporter who has divorced his wife, a secret he’s kept from his parents for several months. His parents pay a visit only to find...

...Smoking Advertisements and Commercials For this assignment, I will be writing about anti-smoking advertisements and commercials that I see a lot on television while I am trying to watch the Big Bang Theory and sometimes banners on an Internet page. Lately, I have been noticing a lot of anti-smoking commercials from the CDC interviewing people whom have been smoking for a long time. People, whom are being interviewed, have serious health problems due to the effects of smoking. These ads will explain how the ex-smokers live their life’s differently because of the damage from smoking. Terrie Hall was the most well known person in these CDC commercials. Terrie started smoking when she was in high school, and now she is facing the consequences for doing it for so long. Terrie was working with the CDC to show not only to teens but also to adults what smoking did to her. Terrie’s condition with cancer was getting worst and she requested the CDC to interview her while on her deathbed to show that smoking took her life away. Terrie Hall died in September of last year. It has been said that the last commercial of Terrie made a big impact to society because the emotion appeal it delivered to the audience. The emotional appeal was evoking negative emotions like fear, guilt, sadness, and anger towards smoking. The audience might develop the fear of smoking, knowing what kind of damage it can do to someone’s body. Audiences might build up the emotion guilt for the current smokers. Audience...

...APOL 104 Everette Beverly Worldview Assignment Part I. What is Worldview? Worldview as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary is “the way someone thinks about the world.” I define it very logically. It is broken up into rich and poor. Beautiful and ugly. Moral or Amoral. Ambition or contentment. Very simplistic. Part II. The question of origin. Where did I come from? There is no doubt in my military mind who is the creator of all things. He is the creator of the Heavens and Earth. (Genesis 1:1). Why do we doubt these things? The Big Bang theory can be easily explained. He who creates something as wonderful as the world we live does it with a bang, literally and figuratively. One as powerful as God also has the wherewithal to create man and woman. (Genesis 2:7). There has always been dispute, but no real worthy explanation. Again, I am a very logical & practical person so I choose to believe in the divine creation. The question of identity. What am I? Who am I? I have contemplated these questions over a 50yr. life. I was taught that I was created in his own image that I am supposed to care for and be fed by his creation. (Genesis 2:5-7) Should this not be the views of every Christian, not just mine? To be honest, I stray. But I ask for forgiveness and keep on going. The question of meaning/purpose. What am doing here on earth? I was also taught to follow God’s will and he will give me purpose. (Romans 8:28) “To live a worldview, a person must seek...

It examines the history of the theory and the scientific ideas on which it is based. It also examines some of the evidence proving the Big Bang and addresses some of the more common arguments against it. | Contents The Search for Creation 3 The Big Bang Theory 3 Supporting Observations 4 Objections 5 Conclusion 5 References 7 The Search for Creation Man seems, by nature, to be a curious creature. We are always looking for explanations for natural phenomena. We have attributed the sound of thunder and lightning in the sky to Thor. When crops died and people were struck ill, ancient man (and modern in some cases) knew the obvious cause was spells cast by witches. We even have myths about the creation of the world; from the Chinese Phan Ku who "emerged from an egg and proceeded to create the world by using a chisel" (Singh, 2004, p. 4) to the Judeo-Christian story of the seven day creation. These creation stories were our first attempts to explain not only our origins but the origins of everything. These stories satisfied many, especially in a time when the ability to test their validity was very limited, but as we have advanced so has our ability to analyze the universe around us and come up with testable ideas to explain the origin of the universe and its evolution. ...

...Philosophy essay – the teleological argument Question A - What are the main strengths and weaknesses of the teleological argument, for the existence of god? The teleological argument is a posteriori, this means that it is able to support its argument based of the empirical evidence that we can see around us. It states that we can easily observe that there is order and complexity in the universe around us, such as the changing of seasons or the human eye, therefore as things that have order and complexity have designers such as a watch or a computer the world must too have a designer as it is infinitely more complex than many human designs that have designers. This means that the universe must too have a designer (God), yet there are many strengths and weaknesses to this argument. On the one hand this could be perceived as a strong argument for the existence of god as it is backed up by inductive reasoning, meaning that the whole argument is started by something that we can observe, this means that it is difficult to deny that there is order and complexity within our universe. This argument has been backed up by sir Thomas Aquinas in his book ‘summa theologica’ when he talks about qua purpose and qua regularity. Qua purpose can prove the existence of god by looking at things within nature and realizing that everything has a purpose, for example there are species of bird that’s life solely depends on the fruit from a single species of tree, yet the tree depends on the...

...it is important to understand what Big Bang Theory (BBT) is and is not. Contrary to the common perception, it is not a theory about the origin of the universe. Rather, it describes the development of the universe over time. This process is often called "cosmic evolution". Over the last several decades the basic picture of cosmology given by BBT has been generally accepted by astronomers, physicists and the wider scientific community. However, no similar consensus has been reached on ideas about the ultimate origin of the universe. This remains an area of active research and some of idea current ideas are discussed below. That said, BBT is nevertheless about origins In addition to being a theory about the origins of the basic building blocks for the world we see today, Given the nature of the subject matter, it is also frequently discussed with heavy religious overtones. Young Earth Creationists dismiss it as an "atheistic theory", dreamt up by scientists looking to deny the divine creation account from Genesis. Conversely, Old Earth Creationists (as well as other Christians) have latched onto BBT as proof of Genesis, claiming that the theory demonstrates that the universe had an origin and did not exist at some point in the distant past. Finally, some atheists have argued that BBT rules out a creator for the universe. What is the Big Bang theory? a) Common misconceptions about the Big Bang In most popularized science sources, it is often described with something like...

...From the time that humans were created or evolved to now, people have argued whether everything all started with a ¨Big Bang¨ or if it were started and created by a God or another explanation of some sort. People still argue on this topic. If the galaxy imploded itself into existence, or if God created the stars, galaxies, universe, and life itself. Both sides have influential evidence to convince one side of the argument to the other. The term Darwinism is the theory that states we evolved by natural selection created and theorized by an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist named Charles Darwin. Darwin was born on the 12th of February in 1809, and is known for his contributions to the science of evolution. He even wrote a book about...

...that these occurrences scream of an intelligent designer which also leads us to the existence of God. First I must explain what an argument for design is and then we will look at Paley’s Watchmaker Theory to give us better insight on this argument. Then I will point to Betty and Cordell’s argument that the things of our universe lead us to a belief in God (intelligent designer) and that the Big Bang theory is not the best explanation alone for the existence of God, and that a multiverse is not the best explanation for the existences in our universe. Design arguments most often try to explain the existence of God by pointing to various occurrences and objects within our world and universe that lead us to believe that there is an intelligent designer. According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, design arguments usually consist of three premises. One is a premise that asserts that the material universe exhibits some verifiable property (F); Two is a premise that asserts that (F) is persuasive evidence of intelligent design or purpose; Three concludes that the best or most probable explanation that the material universe exhibits (F) is that there exist an intelligent designer who intentionally brought it about that the material universe exists and exhibits (F) (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy). A simpler way to say this is that the theory of intelligent design holds that certain...
