Big Bang Theory

What’s up? You don’t look too good.

怎么了？你看起来不太好啊。

Yeah, my head hurts, that’s all. I’ve been in physics class all day. It’s killer!

是啊，就是头疼。上了一整天的物理课，真要命！

I liked physics. It’s all math, really; arcs, curves, velocity, cool stuff.

我还挺喜欢物理的。其实都是数学嘛——弧线、曲线、速度，多酷啊。

Yeah, yeah, but today’s lesson was all about the creation of the universe.

对对对，但今天讲的全是宇宙的起源。

A physics class about the creation of the universe? That’s some pretty unscientific language there. Sounds more religious to me.

物理课讲宇宙起源？这措辞也太不科学了吧。听着更像宗教。

It’s all religion. Take the theory of the Big Bang. How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion? That’s no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff.

全是宗教。就拿宇宙大爆炸理论来说吧，宇宙里所有东西怎么可能来自一次爆炸？这跟阿特拉斯扛着地球、或者非洲神话里乌龟什么的没两样。

Turtles? Whatever... Look, all that’s required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles. At least, that’s what the math says.

乌龟？管它呢...听着，物质形成只需要粒子和反粒子不平衡。至少数学是这么说的。

Math, shmath. What’s the evidence?

数学什么数学，证据呢？

There is evidence! You know Edwin Hubble? He’s the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe, thus advancing notions of an expanding universe. What would it be expanding from? Well, the Big Bang... DUH!

有证据！你知道埃德温·哈勃吗？二十世纪初，他是第一个测量宇宙中物质漂移的科学家，提出了宇宙膨胀的概念。那它从什么开始膨胀的？当然是大爆炸呗...这还用说！

Anyway, it’s just a theory. Why do people go around touting theories? Where’s the scientific rigor in that?

反正就是个理论。为什么大家到处吹捧理论？科学严谨性哪去了？

Dude, don’t equivocate. A theory only becomes a theory after withstanding rigorous testing. You slept through class, didn’t you?

哥们儿，别混淆概念。理论是经过严格检验才能成为理论的。你上课睡过去了吧？

Agh! You’re making my head hurt again! Quit with the questions!

啊！你又让我头疼了！别再问问题了！
