想要让自己变身雅思听力达人，不看剧怎么行?甭管美剧还是英剧，磨练自己的耳朵才是王道，说到耳朵，小编倒是想起了另一个很傲娇的耳朵，我想大家也都想到了，他就是谢耳朵啦。小编可是十分喜欢他呢，那么，今天，就让我们聊聊生活大爆炸里的雅思听力之Leonard与Sheldon的争论1。
Sheldon: I really think we should examine the chain of causality here.
Leonard: Must we?
Sheldon: Event A. A beautiful woman stands naked in our shower. Event B. We drive half way across town to retrieve a television set from the aforementioned woman’s ex-boyfriend. Query, on what plane of existence is there even a semi-rational link between these events?
Leonard: She asked me to do her a favour, Sheldon.
Sheldon: Ah, yes, well that may be the proximal cause of our journey, but we both know it only exists in contradistinction to the higher level distal cause.
Leonard: Which is?
Sheldon: You think with your penis.
Leonard: That’s a biological impossibility and you didn’t have to come.
Sheldon: Oh, right, yes, I could have stayed behind and watched Wolowitz try to hit on Penny in Russian, Arabic and Farsi. Why can’t she get her own TV.
