《生活大爆炸》的英语基础口语对话之洁癖狂Sheldon(2)

　　来自《生活大爆炸》中的英语基础口语对话之洁癖狂的内容：

　　Leonard: Did it ever occur to you that not everyone has the compulsive need to sort organize and label the entire world around them?

　　Sheldon: No.

　　Leonard: Well they don’t. Hard as it may be for you to believe, most people don’t sort their breakfast cereal numerically by fibre content.

　　Sheldon: Excuse me, but I think we’ve both found that helpful at times.

　　Leonard: Come on, we should go.

　　Sheldon: Hang on.

　　Leonard: What are you doing?

　　Sheldon: Straightening up.

　　Leonard: Sheldon, this is not your home.

　　Sheldon: This is not anyone’s home, this is a swirling vortex of entropy.

　　Hard as it may be

　　【英语基础口语对话释】倒装句，Hard as it may be…=as it may be hard...

　　只管...会很难

　　as表现诚然,只管 等时,引导让步状语从句,常用倒装语序,模式为:

　　adj. /adv. / n.+as +主语+谓语+主句。

　　【例】Hard as it may be to believe, there are many unwanted, homeless, abused dachshunds in this country.

　　尽管很难信赖，但在这个国家有很多无家可归、被人摈弃的达克斯猎狗。

　　numerically

　　【释】adv. 用数字表示(有道)

　　【英语基础口语对话例】Books are then arranged numerically , and then alphabetically by author’s last name,resulting in a library organized by subject.(句酷)

　　之后按照号(数字)进行排序，再依照作者姓的字母排序. 这样，全体图书馆的书便按照科目有序地组织起来了.

　　straighten up

　　【释】使整洁, 整理 阐明 挺直

　　【例】You should straighten up your room before going out.

　　出门前你应该把房间收拾整齐。

　　swirling vortex of entropy

　　【释】swirling n. 漩涡;涡流 adj. 打旋的。vortex涡流;漩涡;(动乱，辩论等的)中心;旋风。entropy熵，物理学上指热能除以温度所得的商，标志热量转化为功的程度。被社会科学用以借喻人类社会某些状态的水平。这里的意思是社会恶化的漩涡中心。(在这里Sheldon形容Penny的房间很乱)的英语基础口语对话知识点讲解。
