2007年，《生活大爆炸》开播

2019年，这部陪伴我们

走过高中、大学、求职、结婚等

无数个人生里程碑的喜剧，

终于迎来了最终季。

12年，每个人对这部剧

都有独家的记忆和情结，

可能是因为我们心中，

都住着一个害怕不被人认同的geek吧，

但在这部剧中，他找到了共鸣和归属。

让我们在欢笑和眼泪中，告别青春，

和谢耳朵他们一起，

勇敢地拥抱人生的下一个阶段！

愿我们心中的geek，

都能被这个世界温柔以待。

Well, gang, the time has come to say goodbye. After nearly 12 years on air, The Big Bang Theory finally came to an end on Thursday night with a two-part finale. It’ s been a long time coming: 12 years, 279 episodes and a place in television history as one of the longest-running comedy sitcoms.

The following contains spoilers about "The Big Bang Theory" series finale.

"The Big Bang Theory" finale celebrates the friendship — quirky as it was — that has been the backbone of the CBS sitcom over 12 seasons. The graduation to adulthood saw the characters take another major step in the finale, as Leonard and Penny learned that they were pregnant — joining Howard and Bernadette in the parents club — a revelation the self-absorbed Sheldon treated with complete indifference.

The central plot culminated in Sheldon and Amy winning the Nobel Prize in physics, offering the gang a chance to go on a trip to commemorate their triumphant moment, and prompting Sheldon to realize just how important his friends have been to him on that journey.

The evolution of Sheldon has been the most fascinating aspect of the show, and at times the most challenging. Brilliantly played by Jim Parsons, the character is, above all else, a creature of habit and routine. Being a "selfish jerk," as Leonard called him, has always been part of Sheldon's charm — or at least, what has made the character so oddly endearing.

Still, Sheldon's closing tribute to his friends reflected how, in his unorthodox manner, he obviously cherished them, in the same way he overcame his selfishness to enter into a relationship with Amy that nobody could have possibly envisioned when the series began.

As Penny aptly points out, “Sweetie, you are weird. Everyone knows you’ re weird but they’re all still here.” And that’s what we all need to remember when we feel like life is one big “bazinga” and the joke’s on us.

We’ re all weird and we’re all a little different. The key is to find people who choose to be your friend anyway and forget the rest. If you’re a Kevin or a Sheldon, a Leonard or a Wolowitz, try really hard to remember that no person (no Penny) and no dream is too good for you.

Well, gang（伙伴们）, the time has come to say goodbye. After nearly 12 years on air, The Big Bang Theory finally came to an end（终结） on Thursday night with a two-part finale（大结局[fɪˈnæli] 注意发音哦）.

It’s been a long time coming（是一场漫长的等待）: 12 years, 279 episodes（集） and a place in television history as one of the longest-running comedy sitcoms（情景喜剧）.

△sth. is a long time coming. 表示等待或者酝酿了很久的事情终于发生了。很常用的表达哦，比如His promotion was a long time coming. But it's worth the wait. 他终于等来了升职。但漫长的等待是值得的。

The following contains spoilers（剧透） about "The Big Bang Theory" series finale.

"The Big Bang Theory" finale celebrates the friendship — quirky（奇怪） as it was — that has been the backbone（骨干、主线） of the CBS sitcom over 12 seasons.

△backbone是个很常用的词哦，可以根据不同上下文意思解释为业务骨干、主心骨、支柱产业等含义。比如 Farmers are the backbone of the rural economy.

The graduation to adulthood（比喻正式变成大人的过程） saw the characters take another major step in the finale, as Leonard and Penny learned that they were pregnant — joining Howard and Bernadette in the parents club — a revelation（惊喜） the self-absorbed（以自我为中心的） Sheldon treated with complete indifference（冷漠）.

△坏了12年的电梯终于修好了！

The central plot culminated in（达到高潮） Sheldon and Amy winning the Nobel Prize in physics, offering the gang a chance to go on a trip to commemorate their triumphant moment（纪念他们成功的时刻）, and prompting（促使） Sheldon to realize just how important his friends have been to him on that journey.

△offering...和prompting...这两个现在分词短语都是修饰前面的获得诺贝尔物理学奖。意指Sheldon和Amy获得了诺贝尔奖，这给了小伙伴们一个机会一起旅游纪念这一刻，也让Sheldon明白朋友对他的重要性。

The evolution（成长、变化） of Sheldon has been the most fascinating aspect of the show, and at times (有时） the most challenging.

Brilliantly played（演绎） by Jim Parsons, the character is, above all else, a creature of habit and routine（循规蹈矩的人）. Being a "selfish jerk," as Leonard called him, has always been part of Sheldon's charm — or at least, what has made the character so oddly endearing（令人喜爱）.

Still, Sheldon's closing tribute（致敬词） to his friends reflected how, in his unorthodox（特立独行的） manner, he obviously cherished them, in the same way（正如...一样） he overcame his selfishness to enter into a relationship with Amy that nobody could have possibly envisioned（想象） when the series began.

As Penny aptly（恰当地） points out, “Sweetie, you are weird（怪咖）. Everyone knows you’ re weird but they’re all still here.”

And that’s what we all need to remember when we feel like life is one big “bazinga” （谢尔顿的口头禅，常在开玩笑以后说的“才怪”，这里指当人生不尽如人意时）and the joke’s on us（被羞辱的人是我们自己）.

We’ re all weird and we’re all a little different. The key is to find people who choose to be your friend anyway（无论怎样） and forget the rest. If you’re a Kevin or a Sheldon, a Leonard or a Wolowitz, try really hard to remember that no person (no Penny) and no dream is too good for you.

△文末的意思是，你要努力记得，世界上没有任何人（没有任何像Penny这样的女孩），没有任何梦想，是你不配拥有的。
