A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事情
Thing
One thing you don't want to do as a host is be running around all evening. Do as much as you can ahead of time, so all you have to do is grill the main ingredients.
作为一个主持人,你不希望做的一件事就是整晚东奔西跑。提前尽可能多地做,所以你要做的就是烤主要的食材。

And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.
我们已经没有预算了。我们经理看到帐单时吓了一跳。我们花钱大手大脚,但所有的钱都花在产品上了。

我不想让它成为一辈子的事情。我不相信法定期限的限制,但如果人们愿意,他们可以限制自己,这就是我决定做的。

I have a really beautiful life right now, so there is no reason to be hostile. I'm a husband, a father and a man who tries to do the right thing in life and in my work.
我现在的生活真的很美好,所以没有理由充满敌意。我是一个丈夫,一个父亲,一个努力在生活和工作中做正确事情的男人。
However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine.
