宇宙是一个固有非理性的地方…

我刚才在读博伊德彗星的报道
I was just reading about Boyd’s comet.
博伊德什么?
Boyd’s what?

没问题

我看看引擎盖下面没问题吧?
Would it be all right if I looked under the bonnet?
哦,至少他称之为引擎盖
Well, at least he called it a bonnet.
所以,这就是引擎了,是吧?

绝妙,可是…
Fascinating, but…
可是这车出了什么毛病?
but what is wrong with the car?
哦,我猜想是你的行程太短
Well, my guess is your stroke is too short
而且你还过早地点火
and you’re getting premature ignition.
是不是有过这样的感觉?
Does it ever feel that way?
说什么呢?
Like what?
说行程太短了,而且…
Like the stroke is too short and…
还点火过早了?
you’re getting premature ignition?
哦,我肯定我不知道你什么意思
Well, I’m sure I don’t know what you mean.
你能不能至少暂时把它修好,你觉得呢?
