《少年谢耳朵》：Leonard的霸凌者是谢耳朵他爹？

If you were thinking “Young Sheldon” was going to be another “Big Bang Theory” with little kids, well, bazinga!

如果你觉得《少年谢尔顿》会是一部小孩子重拍的《生活大爆炸》，哈哈，你上当啦！

The show, couldn’t be more different from its parent show. It ditches the laugh track for something closer to the nostalgic sweetness of “The Wonder Years” as old Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) narrates and reminisces about his younger self (Iain Armitage).

这部剧集和后者完全不同。这部由Sheldon（Jim Parsons）念白，回忆并叙述自己童年故事的美剧在喜剧风格上有点类似老牌喜剧《纯真年代》。

Armitage expertly plays young Sheldon. Zoe Perry as Sheldon’s mom Mary is a genius casting move. (Perry’s real-life mother, Laurie Metcalf, plays the same character on “Big Bang Theory.”)

Armitage饰演幼年Sheldon。Zoe Perry饰演Sheldon的母亲Mary,这是剧组的天才之举。（Perry在现实生活中的母亲，Laurie Metcalf在《生活大爆炸》中饰演同一角色。）

Lance Barber, who plays Sheldon’s father, George Sr., on “Young Sheldon” also played Leonard’s bully Jimmy Speckerman on “The Big Bang Theory.”

Lance Barber在《少年谢尔顿》一剧中饰演Sheldon的爸爸George Sr.，在《生活大爆炸》中，他还饰演了霸凌Leonard的角色Jimmy Speckerman。

Is there some wormhole that caused Sheldon’s father to travel through time just to torment his son’s friends? Has Leonard’s bully really been Sheldon’s father all along?

或许有某种虫洞，让的爸爸能穿越时空去折磨儿子的好友。或者霸凌Leonard的坏人从一开始就是Sheldon的爸爸？

Having actors play multiple roles in the same show universe isn’t unprecedented.

在同一个剧集的时空架构里让同一个演员饰演不同的角色也并非没有先例。

Even more egregiously, “Game of Thrones” had Dean-Charles Chapman play two different characters from the same family. He originally played Martyn Lannister, a character who died in Season 3. Then he came back to play Tommen Baratheon, who was really the son of Jaime and Cersei Lannister.

更诡异的是，《权利的游戏》中演员Dean-Charles Chapman饰演了来自同一家族的两个不同的角色。一开始他饰演了Martyn Lannister一角，这个角色在第三季中就丧生了。而后他又饰演了Jaime和Cersei Lannister的儿子Tommen Baratheon。

At least “Young Sheldon” and “Big Bang Theory” are two different shows. In fact, the somewhat strange casting choice just seems to further emphasize the differences between the two.
