1、In many ways the work of a critic is easy.
就很多方面來說評論家的工作很輕松
2、We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment.
我們冒的風險小卻位高權重，人們必須奉上自己和作品供我們評論
3、We thrive on negative criticism which is fun to write and to read.
我們以負面評論見稱，因為讀寫皆饒富趣味
4、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.
可是，我們評論家必須面對一個難堪的事實：以價值而言，被評論家批評為平庸之物的同時我們的評論也許比他更為平庸。
5、But there are times when a critic truly risks something and that is in the discovery and defense of the new.
可是有時候評論家真的得冒險去發現并且捍衛新的事物。
6、The world is often unkind to new talent new creations.The new needs friends.
這個世界對待新秀、新的創作非常苛刻，新人及新作需要朋友。
7、Last night I experienced something new an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source.
昨晚我有個全新的經驗，奇妙的一餐來自令人意想不到的出處。
8、To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement.
如果說那一餐和它的創造者挑戰了我對精致美食先入為主的觀念，這仍只是輕描淡寫的說法
9、In the past I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau&＃39;s famous motto "Anyone can cook." But I realize only now do I truly understand what he meant.
過去我公開對食神古斯多的著名格言“料理非難事”表示不屑，但是我發覺現在我才真正了解他的意思。
10、Not everyone can become a great artistbut a great artist can come from anywhere.
并非任何人都能成為偉大的藝術家，但是偉大的藝術家可能來自任何地方
11、It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau&＃39;s who is in this critic&＃39;s opinion nothing less than the finest chef in France.
現今在食神餐廳掌廚的天才出身之低微令人難以想像，依在下之見， 他是法國最好的廚師
12、I will be returning to Gusteau&＃39;s soon hungry for more.
我很快會再光顧食神餐廳，滿足我的口腹之欲
13、It was a great night. The happiest of my life.
那是美好的一晚，我生命中最快樂的一夜
