Anyone who’s spent time in a kitchen knows that they can get hot, especially if the stove and oven are on at the same time. What should you do if you can’t stand the heat? Get out of the kitchen, of course. Thus the phrase, 1⃣“If you can’t take/stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,” which means that if you can’t handle the pressure of a given situation, you should remove yourself from it. The phrase also implies that the person being addressed is too weak to handle the situation. Ex: We put in a lot of overtime here, so if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
在廚房煮過菜的人都知道，廚房會熱，尤其是同時開火跟烤箱的時候。這時如果你熱到受不了怎麼辦？當然就是離開廚房。因此有If you can’t take/stand the heat, get out of the kitchen的說法，就是暗示，當你無法承受壓力時，就該抽離那個環境。也有暗示某人無法應付該情況的意思：We put in a lot of overtime here, so if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.（我們這裡加班很多，如果你無法應付，那就別來。）
If you’ve ever been in the kitchen when several people are preparing food at the same time, you know that things can get chaotic. Perhaps this is the origin of the proverb, 2⃣“Too many cooks spoil the broth,” which means that if too many people are involved in a task, the results won’t be good. Ex: We already have enough people on our project team—too many cooks spoil the broth.
如果你曾經好幾人同時在裡頭準備食物的廚房，你大概會知道，廚房很容易變亂，而這大概就是以下俗語的由來：Too many cooks spoil the broth. （人多反誤事。）如：We already have enough people on our project team—too many cooks spoil the broth.（我們專案團隊已經有夠多人了－－再多人參與反而會誤事。）
