Has Dr. Sheldon Cooper met his match? The Big Bang Theory has finally nabbed famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking to film a cameo. As first reported by TV Guide Canada, Hawking filmed a scene with Jim Parsons, a.k.a. Sheldon, Friday for the show’s April 5 episode. In the scene, Hawking has a "run-in" with Sheldon.

　　据美国权威电视媒体《TVGuide》报道称，热播美剧《生活大爆炸》中的科学宅男“谢耳朵”终于棋逢对手，著名理论物理学家史蒂芬·霍金即将客串《生活大爆炸》，与“谢耳朵”过招，该集将于美国时间4月5日播出。

　　Leonard Nimoy becomes Big Bang Theory’s "dream" guest star. The CBS comedy had invited Hawking to appear on the show before, but at the time they were told he was too ill to participate. Hawking’s appearance will air the week after another big guest star stops by. Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy will lend his voice to the March 29 episode when he speaks to Sheldon in a dream sequence.

　　作为美国热播剧之一的《生活大爆炸》，曾吸引了不少知名人士前去客串，该剧制片人此前也曾力邀霍金，但由于霍金身体欠佳未能如愿。报道称，谢耳朵与霍金已经共同拍摄了一场戏，两人似乎还“大吵了一架。”消息一出，令不少谢耳朵的粉丝十分期待。两人将以何种形式激烈交锋，也引发了不少美剧迷的猜测。据悉，在此前《生活大爆炸》的剧集中，谢耳朵就曾学过霍金说话。而在霍金客串集前一周的剧集里，《星际迷航》的“史波克”莱纳德·尼莫将在谢耳朵的梦中献声，《生活大爆炸》的编剧此前在霍金客串该剧的消息出来之前，曾在微博上卖过关子，称除了莱纳德外，还有一位神秘人物将客串该剧。如今美剧迷终于恍然大悟，原来说的就是霍金。

　　Hawking, coincidentally, played a hologram of himself on an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and also played himself on The Simpsons and Futurama. Are you excited to see Hawking and Sheldon together? The Big Bang Theory airs Thursdays at 8/7c on CBS.

　　当然，霍金已不止这一次“触电”，此前在《星际迷航：下一代》中，史蒂芬·霍金便以自己现实生活中的身份出现，和“爱因斯坦”、“牛顿”等科学家在“企业号”上打起了桥牌，而他的身影还出现在了《辛普森一家》和《飞出个未来》中。
