Yesterday it was reported that Sheldon, the working title for The Big Bang Theory's in-development young Sheldon Cooper spin-off, cast its kid and his mother. Big Little Lies' Iain Armitage will play the boy genius, and Zoe Perry will play his religious fanatic mother.

　　昨天有新闻报道，《生活大爆炸》衍生剧——讲Sheldon小时候的故事已经确定了Sheldon小时候的人选和Sheldon妈妈的人选。《Big Little Lies》中的Iain Armitage将会扮演剧中的天才少年，而Zoe Perry则会扮演他信教的妈妈。

　　Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf, who recurs as Sheldon's mother on The Big Bang Theory, so her casting will keep the character of Mary Cooper very close to the original. But Sheldon's father died when he was 14, long before The Big Bang Theory takes place, so there's no set template for what George Cooper, Sr. is supposed to be.

　　Perry是《生活大爆炸》中Sheldon妈妈扮演者Laurie Metcalf现实生活中的女儿，所以她这个版本的 Mary Cooper将会和原版非常接近。但是Sheldon的爸爸在他14岁就去世了，是《生活大爆炸》故事发生很久以前的事，因此之前也没有George Cooper的原型可以参考。

　　All we know about George is from what other characters have said about him. We know he was kind of a redneck simpleton who liked to drink whiskey and shoot guns. We know he didn't get along with Sheldon's mother and cheated on her -- Sheldon knocks three times before entering a room because he once walked in on his father in bed with another woman. He was a jerk, but Sheldon loved him.

　　关于George的信息我们都是从其他角色口中得知的。比如他是个乡下的笨蛋，就喜欢喝酒和打枪。我们知道他和Sheldon妈妈关系不好，而且还出轨了——Sheldon进门前要敲门三次的习惯就是因为Sheldon小时候不小心进房间的时候撞见了他爸爸和另一个女人在床上。虽然他是个混蛋，但是Sheldon心底还是深爱着他。
