That's ridiculous. Sheldon, I vote that is not a tangent.

太荒谬了。Sheldon，我投票那没有离题。

Another instance of disorganized thinking is derailment, where a person just goes on numerous and many unrelated tangents.

另一个思维混子是“脱轨”，一个人就会把很多不相关事情扯到一起。

Not really. I feel somewhat like an inverse tangent function that's approached an asymptote. Are you saying you're stuck?

不太好，感觉像是反正切曲线接近渐近线了。你是说你卡住了？

So, this line is called the tangent.

所以，这条线被称为切线。

We didn't have to...that was clearly a tangent. Now come on. Back to work. If we're leaning towards quantum coupling...Aah! Why?

我们没必要投... 刚刚显然离题了。快点，回到正事。如果我们倾向于量子耦合...！干嘛？

Can you believe all these tangents came out of talking about alignment?

你能相信所有这些离题都源于谈论对齐吗？

So, I don't know what that tangent… but that's the structure of the show.

所以，我不知道那个切线是什么… … 但这就是节目结构。

Anyway, thanks for coming on this tangent with me.

不管怎样， 谢谢你来和我讨论这个话题。

You still stare off into the distance and go on science tangents!

- ！ 然凝视远方， 继续科学切线！

I use lulling, soothing, creaky, dulcet tones, pointless meanders, and superfluous tangents.

我使用平静、舒缓、嘎吱作响、悦耳音调、毫无意义曲折和多余切线。

I'm gonna use lulling, soothing, creaky, dulcet tones, pointless meanders, superfluous tangents.

我要使用镇静、舒缓、吱吱作响、悦耳音调、毫无意义蜿蜒曲折、多余切线。

Is that what you call going off on tangents and including completely irrelevant information?

这就是所谓离题并包含完全不相关信息吗？

He dropped the newspaper, yawned, and let his mind drift off at a tangent.

他丢下报纸， 打了个哈欠， 让思绪飘向了一个切线。

So, it's like, this is… it isn't like I accidentally go on a twenty-minute tangent.

所以，就像，这是… … 这并不是我不小心走了二十分钟切线。

Actually, if we can take a tangent on that, once again, returning to the biblical verses of your tweets.

事实， 如果我们能再次切题，回到你推文中圣经经文。

So if you get to the main point really quickly, you're less likely to go off on a tangent earlier on.

因此，如果你很快就到达了要点，你就不太可能在前面偏离主题。

You said " quantum coupling." That made me think of the show Quantum Leap. That's a tangent and it's your fault.

你说了“量子耦合” 那让我想到了《时空怪客》。是你偏离了正题。

I didn't know how to answer questions back then, I would just run on these tangents.

那时我不知道如何回答问题，我只会跑题。

It's actually perpendicular to the radius of the circle -- along what we call a tangent.

它实际是垂直于圆—— 关于所谓探探。

And by the way, parallel tangents can be okay as I showed in that E letter.

顺便说一句，正如我在 E 封信中所示，平行切线是可以。
