The Big Bang Theory might be drawing to a close, but its spin-off Young Sheldon will get plenty more time to grow.

　　《生活大爆炸》也许要划上句号，但它的衍生剧《小谢尔顿》还有很大的发展空间。

　　Amid its second season run, CBS has renewed Young Sheldon for two additional seasons, starting with the 2019-2020 TV season.

　　第二季还在播，从2019-2020这季起算，CBS就已经又续订了两季。

　　In a statement, CBS Entertainment's president Kelly Kahl said of the series' renewal, "Thanks to Chuck Lorre's and Steve Molaro's outstanding creative leadership, Young Sheldon has been a powerful performer for the Network with an audience that towers over most of the television landscape."

　　CBS娱乐公司总裁Kelly Kahl在声明中提到这次的续订：“多亏了Chuck Lorre和 Steve Molaro的出色的、具有创造性的执导能力，《小谢尔顿》在播出中表现超棒，拥有远超大多数电视剧的观众。”

　　Added Thom Sherman, Senior Executive Vice President of Programming, "The Coopers are portrayed by an amazing cast, and we are looking forward to having the gifted writing staff mine even more of Sheldon's hilarious backstory and the warm family dynamic that has made this comedy a favorite with audiences for the past two seasons."

　　节目部高级执行副总裁Thom Sherman补充道：“库珀一家的演员阵容非常出色，我们希望才华横溢的写作团队能挖掘出更多谢尔顿背后的搞笑故事和温馨的家庭氛围，也正是这些使得这部喜剧在过去两季成为观众的最爱。”

　　Young Sheldon stars Iain Armitage as young nerd Sheldon Cooper (portrayed by Jim Parsons on The Big Bang Theory).

　　《小谢尔顿》中由伊恩·阿米蒂奇主演小时候的天才怪人谢尔顿·库珀(《生活大爆炸》中由吉姆·帕森斯饰演)。

　　Though it centers on the child genius, the series often feels like an Easter eggstravaganza for fans of the elder Sheldon Cooper we've come to know and love so well.

　　虽然这部剧的重点是这个天才儿童，但对于日渐熟悉和痴迷成年版谢耳朵的粉丝来说，它更像是个彩蛋。

　　The show has followed in the footsteps of its parent series in the way of popularity, notching up a whopping 14.5 million weekly viewers.

　　这部剧沿袭了它母剧的受欢迎程度，每周吸引了多达1450万的观众。

　　The Big Bang Theory was canceled after 12 seasons and will conclude with its series finale this spring.

　　《生活大爆炸》在播了十二季后将不再续订，会在今年春天迎来终结季。
