【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

The Big Mac index was introduced in the Economist in 1986. Ng Yat-chiu created it the Chief Executive Officer of McDonald's Restaurant of Hong Kong.

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.
