名词解释：理工男是大学里被认为宅而木讷的群体。指学理工科出身又拥有高智商的那么一群男士。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Science geek refers to a group of highly intelligent men who majored in science and technology. They boast extensive scientific knowledge, love high-tech inventions and challenging computer games, and are curious about life. However, they may lack some common sense in regular relationship with other people.

The heroes in the American TV drama "The Big Bang Theory" might be the most typical representatives of this group. They play 3D chess, create Row-Sham-Bow that is much more difficult than the normal one，and do various experiments that are totally unknown to the world.

“理工男”指学理工科出身又拥有高智商的那么一群男士。他们的理工科知识面很广，热爱高科技发明，喜欢挑战电脑游戏，同时对生活充满好奇。不过，他们在人际交往方面似乎缺少一些必要的常识。

美剧《生活大爆炸》中的几位主角应该是“理工男”群体的最典型代表。他们玩立体国际象棋，玩增加了N个难度级别的剪刀石头布，做各种莫名奇妙的试验。

【讲解】

文中的science geek就是“理工男”的意思，其中geek音译为“极客”，原本指反常的人，现在多指对计算机和网络狂热的人，如：computer geek (电脑极客/电脑怪杰)。现在geek已经成为一种文化，和黑客(hacker)文化、博客(blog)文化、闪客(flash)文化、快闪(flash mobs)文化一样，借助于网络的力量，聚集了大量痴迷者。

第一段中的boast是动词，意为“以拥有…而自豪;夸耀”，多指对自己的长处、财富等的夸耀，如：He boasted himself to be the best basketball player.(他自夸自己是最佳篮球运动员。)
