英文台词
Penny: Hey, Sheldon.
Sheldon: Hello.
Penny: I hear you broke up with Amy.
Sheldon: A breakup would imply she was my girlfriend. She was a girl who was my friend who is now a girl who is not my friend.
Penny: Wow. That s like the worst country song ever. So, how are you doing?
Sheldon: Regarding what?
Penny: Amy.
Sheldon: I don t follow.
Penny: Well, breakups-- or whatever the hell this is-- can be tough.
Sheldon: Penny, I assure you, I m fine. My relationship with Amy was purely intellectual, there were no emotional bonds, the severing of which would cause me any discomfort. The relationship simply outlived its utility, and I m continuing on with my life as before.
Penny: Okay. Good.
Sheldon: Now, if you ll excuse me, I m off to buy a pussycat.

参考译文
佩妮:好呀,谢尔顿。
谢尔顿:你好。
佩妮:听说你和艾米分手了。
谢尔顿:说"分手"的话就说明她是我女朋友。她是个女孩,曾经是我朋友。现在她还是个女孩,但不是我朋友了。
佩妮:听着像史上最烂乡村民谣。你感觉如何?
谢尔顿:什么感觉?
佩妮:和艾米分手。
谢尔顿:我不懂。
佩妮:分手...不管你怎么叫,总是很难受的。
谢尔顿:佩妮,放心,我没事。我和艾米只是纯粹智力上的关系,没有丝毫感情色彩,所以我也没有任何痛苦,这段关系只是失去效用罢了,我也像从前一样继续生活。
佩妮:好吧,不错。
谢尔顿:我得先走了,要去买一只小猫咪。
