A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
晚餐
Dinner
I mean, it's nice to get a dinner reservation ahead of other people, but when it comes down to it, the most important thing to me is the actual work.
我的意思是，比别人提前预定晚餐是件好事，但归根结底，对我来说最重要的是实际工作。
The first time my father saw me in the flesh was on the stage, which is a bit weird. We went out to dinner, and he was charming and sweet, but I did all the talking.
我父亲第一次看到我的身体是在舞台上，这有点奇怪。我们一起出去吃饭，他很迷人，很可爱，但所有的谈话都是我说的。
Sometimes, when my wife and I were going out to dinner, I would take my laptop with me and work in the car, so as to take advantage of the half hour going and coming.
有时候，当我和我的妻子出去吃饭的时候，我会带上我的笔记本电脑，在车里工作，这样就可以利用这半个小时来来回回。
I would not vote for the mayor. It's not just because he didn't invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.
我不会投票给市长。这不仅是因为他没有邀请我吃饭，还因为在我从机场进城的路上有这么大的坑。
One of the problems of our youth is that the family unit is broken up. When we'd sit down to dinner together as a family, we'd learn about each other. We had something people don't get today.

People think of you differently if you've been in their homes. They think they own you because they watched you while they were eating dinner, or they can turn you up or down, or even freeze you.

For our first date, I made Ryan Hamburger Helper, which is basically what I grew up on. I make my own version of it now, with macaroni and cheese and hamburger meat. And the kids - it's their favorite dinner.

I always think if you have to cook once, it should feed you twice. If you're going to make a big chicken and vegetable soup for lunch on Monday, you stick it in the refrigerator and it's also for Wednesday's dinner.
我总是认为，如果你必须煮一次，它应该养活你两次。如果你想在周一午餐时做一份大鸡汤和蔬菜汤，你可以把它放在冰箱里，周三的晚餐也是如此。
My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying, 'Sean, this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.'
我和索尔金的互动非常怪异。他是我所见过的最古怪的人。我和他共进晚餐，几个小时后，我收到他的助理发来的一封电子邮件，上面说:“肖恩，这次谈话不需要很长时间。艾伦只会用它来赢得你的信任。”
It's about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I'm either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.
这是关于让孩子们起床吃饭，送一个去上学，送另一个去睡午觉，去杂货店，从学校接一个，送另一个去睡午觉，做饭……我生活在这两个极端。我不是全职妈妈就是全职演员。
