chenchen:記得中學時看到一本喜歡的電影,可以反復的聽反復的聽,等到其對白會背了為止。現在?是沒遇到喜歡 的電影呢?還是我已經沒有這般精氣了?想來應該是後者!

"In many ways the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But, the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things … the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

"But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends."

价值观颠倒是造成人无力向善的根源。向善的科伯先生写完这篇评论以后就再也不是美食评论家了。他戴着瓜皮小帽,围着普通老年人才会围的灰白围巾,成为了一个小企业家,却能享受天下独一的美食。
小老鼠的烹调成为一个秘密,“我虽在江湖,但江湖却没有我的传说”。它热心于无名的烹饪,绽露自己的天才,也许要在有一天它死后才能被发现:原来那么多人称赞的食物出自无名鼠辈之手。
最后提一提这里面的特色英文学习:
It s the purest fact, we French know the truth

这是最纯的事实, 我们法国人知道真相

The Best Food in the World is made in France (法语发音:Fu Rang Si)

       The Best Food in France is made in Paris (法语发音:Pa re)

       and the Best food in Paris some say(“有一些人说”,这种说法就意味着一个“故事”的开始) is made by Chef …Gusteau。

   Chef Gusteau’s restaurant is the toast(Toast 意识是干杯,但在这里toast 代表在巴黎被人们庆贺的) of Paris, booked 5 months in advance(提前五个月订位), and it’s dazzling(指的是耀眼的登上..) itself to the top of the French cuisine(发音:k u e zing) has made its competors..envious(羡慕).

  He is the youngest chef to achieve a five star rating.(最年轻得到五星级的评价的厨师)

  Chef Gusteau’s book "Anyone can cook" climbs to the top of the best seller’s list(热卖书榜首)..but not everyone has rendered(给与) its success (0:32) 但不是每一个人都给与优等的评价。

  以上这一段话有法国口音,但是我觉得讲得还蛮有味道。。

镜头转向著名饮食大师 Anton Ego:

Amusing title(很有意识).."Anyone can cook" ..What’s even more amusing is that…is that Gusteau seemed to believe it. I on the other hand..take cooking seriously..I don’t think anyone can do it. (0:45)
… (注意Anton 说话的语气。。一副很正经的样子,语气傲慢。。注意他停顿的地方。。声音的起伏。。一般上流社会也爱用这种口音。。大家可以参考参考)

小老鼠讲故事开始。。

but to my dad:

Remy:
