A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
比赛
Contest
You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
你在踢屁股比赛中就像一个独腿人一样有用。
In a contest between me and a bulldog, you would say the bulldog is cuter.
在我和斗牛犬的比赛中，你会说斗牛犬更可爱。
The story grew, got way bigger than the contest rules called for, and next thing I knew I had a book.
故事越来越长，比竞赛规则要求的要大得多，然后我就知道我有了一本书。
They did that little thing on South Park, and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny.That made me the coolest aunt on earth.
他们在南方公园做了一件小事，他们提到了我的名字，并让我担任万圣节竞赛的评委。真的很有趣。这使我成为世界上最酷的阿姨。
In all honesty, at that time, I never saw myself as an author... I was just a Mom in a state of panic, trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home.
老实说，在那个时候，我从来没有把自己看作一个作家……我只是一个惊慌失措的妈妈，为了家里的灯还亮着，我试图参加一个短篇小说比赛来赢得奖金。
I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm sort of old-fashioned. I think people need to get out there and they need to work and they need to do their music because they love it. If they become successful, then great, and if they are not, whatever.
我不太赞成通过赢得比赛就能成为明星的想法。我有点过时了。我认为人们需要走出去，他们需要工作，他们需要做他们的音乐，因为他们爱它。如果他们成功了，那么他们就是伟大的，如果他们失败了，无论如何。
