--
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。)

talk to yourself意思 在 Claudia Mo/毛孟靜 Facebook 的最讚貼文
#此地無銀三百両
Don't protest too much =❓
不要過分抗議 ❌
不要此地無銀 ✅
—————-
#明報 英文 | 毛孟靜
//中文有一個七字成語:此地無銀三百両;以口語道來,常常會索性省掉最後三個字,就講「此地無銀」。
這成語來自民間故事,話說有個儍兮兮的人在院子掘洞,藏起了三百両銀子,卻又在坑上豎牌,寫明「此地無銀三百両」。
意思就是企圖隱瞞卻又欲蓋彌彰,說得太多做得太多,結果反而暴露了,自然顯得作賊心虛。
· Don't talk too much. You're giving yourself away. 不要說太多,你會泄露自己的心思。
這句話主要是勸人不要弄巧反拙,有一點點「不要此地無銀」的意思,但並非清楚對等。要用英文表達,可以說:
Don't protest too much.
不要過分抗議?錯。
不要此地無銀!對。
說一個人 protest too much,是認為此人 overly insistent about something, to the point where the opposite is most likely true,過分重複或堅持什麼,去到一個程度讓人覺得,其人所說的相反才是事實。
這個講法源自莎士比亞的《王子復仇記》(Hamlet ),原文是 The lady doth protest too much, me thinks。譯做現代英文,就是 I think the lady does protest too much。
今日仍然會有人在用 protest too much 表達「此地無銀」的意思,甚至拋出整句The lady doth protest too much, methinks,也許有拋書包之意,但也不必引以為怪。
· He simply protests too much. 他太過此地無銀、欲蓋彌彰了。
· He mentions at every opportunity how he loves his wife and didn't marry her for her money — me thinks he doth protest too much. 他一有機會就說自己多愛妻子,娶她並不因為她的錢——太此地無銀了。
· She keeps saying how much she hates gossiping, but I think she protests too much. 她老是說最不喜歡搬弄是非,但我覺得她不就是最喜歡搬弄是非的人。
新聞中也有類似例子:有自以為政治正確的人說,不應叫武漢肺炎,正名是新型冠狀病毒肺炎(世衛的COVID-19官方中文叫法其實是「2019冠狀病毒病」)。因為過分重複、過分強調,反而暴露了企圖抹煞疫症源自武漢的事實,就是此地無銀、欲蓋彌彰。· Beijing stooges say no Wuhan coronavirus. That it should be "properly"called novel coronavirus. They simply PROTEST TOO MUCH. 北京嘍囉說,沒有武漢肺炎。應該「正確」地叫新冠病毒。這些人也實在太此地無銀了。//
talk to yourself意思 在 辭職去南極 Facebook 的最佳解答
尋晚同快要結婚嘅朋友傾左成晚之後諗起一個Ted Talk, 有個離過三次婚嘅女人話最緊要同自己結婚,好有意思,今日畫左幅畫同大家分享下❤️❤️❤️
“The thing about marrying yourself is not just like cohabitating
You’re not just going to date for a while and see how it turns out
You are going to do this till death do you part
You are going to marry yourself for richer or for poorer.
This means you going to love yourself right where you are
You don’t say, “when you get to the corner of Hollywood and Vine, then I will marry you”
You don’t say, “When you lose ten pounds, then I will love you.”
You are going to marry yourself for better or for worse
Most of us are willing to love ourselves for better, I mean, sure, I am having a great hair day today. I love me!
That’s not what I am talking about, I’m talking about for worse, you know, the big life disappointments.
Maybe you don’t own a home, you don’t get the career you wanted, maybe you didn’t graduate from college, or get the relationship you wanted. Maybe you fight with your mom, maybe you watch too much reality TV, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter anymore
Because when you marry yourself, you agree to stay with you no matter what.
……
“Will you marry me?”
Even though those words are very powerful, I don’t need to hear them from him because I have already heard them from myself.
The way I see it is like I took myself to the top of a mountain, or maybe to the bottom of the ocean, and I got down on one knee, and I said, “I’ll never leave you”
Now I am married to the one person I really want to be with all along,
Myself.”
Excerpts from Tracey McMillan’s Ted talk: the person you really need to marry
