Patience indeed! Nothing else would bring those tiny, spoiled little creatures to the point of spinning their cocoons.

真的需要耐心！没有别的办法能把这些娇生惯养的小动物逼到结茧的地步。

They produce a lot of silk, too — each one spins a cocoon from a single strand that can be up to 1, 000 meters long.

并且它们可以生产出大量的蚕丝——每个蚕茧都是由一根长达1000米以上的蚕丝裹成的。

On the other hand, I think Sheldon might be the larval form of his species, and someday he'll spin a cocoon and emerge two months later with moth wings and an exoskeleton.

另一方面，我在想谢尔顿可能是他这个物种的幼虫状态，有一天他会做茧，不出俩月就破茧成蝶。
