Hey, guys, it's Ronnie here, and I'm in today with a great lesson on cooking.

嘿，各位，我是 Ronnie，今天我們要來一堂很棒的烹飪課。

What we're here to do today is teach you some proverbs about cooking.

我們今天要教大家一些跟烹飪有關的諺語。

And you may ask yourself, what's a proverb?

你可能會問自己，什麼是諺語？

And Ronnie, why are you teaching us proverbs?

Ronnie，你為什麼要教我們諺語？

And you said that idioms are kind of useless to learn.

你說過慣用語有點沒用，對吧？

Idioms are usually one or two words or three words, and they have a meaning.

慣用語通常是一兩個字或三個字，然後它們有意思。

當你看的時候，你會覺得，嗯？

Proverbs, on the other hand, can be a full sentence, and

相反地，諺語可以是一整句話，而且

they actually have, like a moral story or some kind of teaching behind them.

它們實際上，就像有一個寓意故事或某種教導在裡面。

As I am a teacher, I'm here to teach you other cool things about learning proverbs is probably you have the exact same proverb in your language.

身為老師，我來教大家更多關於學習諺語的酷地方，可能是你的母語裡也有完全一樣的諺語。

And of course, the killer in English, your pronunciation.

當然，還有英文裡最重要的，你的發音。

I know that this is a very popular proverb around the world.

我知道這是一個全世界都非常流行的諺語。

It's usually made from bones, not of humans.

通常是用骨頭做的，不是人的骨頭。

This means that if you have too many people trying to do one thing, making soup, no, spoiled.

這句話的意思是，如果太多人一起做同一件事，煮湯，不對，會變質。

So if you have too many people trying to do one task, it's not going to work out because someone's going to be the leader and someone's going to cry.

所以如果你們太多人想做同一件事，事情就做不好，因為會有人當領導，有人會哭。

So what this proverb means is everyone should get a delegated task.

所以這個諺語的意思是，每個人都應該有一個分配的任務。

你做這個，你做這個，你做這個。

You following here has nothing to do with soup, really.

你們跟上來這裡，跟湯其實沒什麼關係。

Because I'm like, come on, come on, come on, come on.

因為我會想說，快點，快點，快點，快點。

A watched pot never boils means if you are waiting for something for a long time, it seems like it's going to take longer if you distract yourself and do something different.

鍋子不看就不會滾的意思是，如果你在等某件事情很久，如果你分心去做別的事情，它好像就會花更長的時間。

For example, you're waiting for your friend to show up at your house and hey, come on.

舉個例子，你正在等朋友來你家，嘿，快點。

By the time the soup's ready, your friend will be there.

等湯煮好的時候，你朋友就到了。

It's actually, it looks like watched, but with the ed here, we're going to sound like watched.

它其實，看起來是 watched，但因為有這個 ed，我們會唸成 watched。

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

如果你受不了熱，就離開廚房。

In the way that we use this means if something's too hard for you or there's too much pressure, forget it, just go.

就像我們說的，如果某件事對你來說太難，或是壓力太大，那就別管它，直接走開。

So if you're having, oh my God, I can't do this.

所以如果你覺得，天啊，我做不到。

Take a break, go for a run, go for a cycle, Come back to it.

就休息一下，去跑個步，去騎個車，再回來學。

Don't put yourself out for unnecessary things.

不要為了不必要的事情讓自己為難。

So if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

所以如果你受不了熱，就離開廚房。

If something's too hard or stressful, take a break.

如果事情太難或壓力太大，就休息一下。

The cool thing about these proverbs too is we shorten them kind of in slang.

這些諺語很酷的一點是，我們在口語中會把它們簡化。

So we say it's like the pot calling the kettle black.

所以我們說這就像是「五十步笑百步」。

So there's a pot and the kettle, they're both black.

所以有一個鍋子和一個茶壺，它們都是黑的。

It's basically saying that you are being a hypocrite.

這基本上是在說你是一個偽君子。

And hypocrite means I say something like, you shouldn't smoke.

而偽君子，就是我說「你不應該抽菸」。
