  • Do you remember what you were describing

    你還記得當時是在描述甚麼

  • when you used the word?

    而用了那個詞嗎?

  • No, I didn't think so, because it's come down to this, people:

    不,我不這麼認為。

  • You're using the word incorrectly,

    因為說到了這個,結論是

    各位,你用它的方式是錯誤的。

  • how to put the "awe" back in "awesome."

    而我今晚希望教你

  • Recently, I was dining at an outdoor cafe,

    該如何重拾 “厲害” 中,“厲” 的含意 (Awesome)。

  • and the server came up to our table,

    最近我去了間露天餐廳,

  • and asked us if we had dined there before,

    有位服務生來到了 我們用餐的桌子,

  • and I said, "Yes, yes, we have."

    問我們是否來過。

  • And she said, "Awesome."

    我回答,“是,是,我們曾經來過”

  • And I thought, "Really?

    他回答我,“厲害”。

  • Awesome or just merely good

    我心想 “真的嗎?

  • that we decided to visit your restaurant again?"

    厲害?還是只是很好

  • The other day, one of my coworkers asked me

    我們決定再次光顧你的餐廳?”

  • if I could save that file as a PDF,

    另一天,一個同事問我,

  • and I said, "Well, of course," and he said, "Awesome."

    我能不能把那個資料存為PDF檔。

    說真的,存檔這樣的事

  • Sadly, the frequent overuse of the word "awesome"

    真的值得說 “厲害” 嗎?

  • has now replaced words like "great" and "thank you."

    可惜,由於我們經常濫用 “厲害”

  • So Webster's dictionary defines the word "awesome"

    它的定義已經成為了

  • as fear mingled with admiration or reverence,

    “真好” 或是 “謝謝” 等詞。

  • a feeling produced by something majestic.

    韋氏字典將 “厲害” (awesome) 解釋為

  • Now, with that in mind,

    恐懼夾雜著愛慕或敬畏的感覺,

  • was your Quiznos sandwich awesome?

    一種宏偉事物所產生出來的感覺。

  • How about that parking space? Was that awesome?

    現在,想想看,

  • Or that game the other day? Was that awesome?

    你的 Quiznos 三明治厲害嗎?

  • The answer is no, no and no.

    那個停車位呢?它厲害嗎?

  • A sandwich can be delicious,

    還是前幾天的那場球賽?它厲害嗎?

  • that parking space can be nearby,

    答案是不是,不是,和不是。

  • and that game can be a blowout,

    一份三明治可以很美味,

  • but not everything can be awesome.

    停車位能是很靠近,

  • (Laughter)

    球賽可以是很激烈,

  • So when you use the word "awesome"

    但不是所有的事都很厲害。

  • to describe the most mundane of things,

    (笑聲)

  • you're taking away the very power of the word.

    所以當你使用“厲害”

  • This author says, "Snowy days

    去描述生活中的瑣事

  • or finding money in your pants is awesome."

    你便是在帶走這詞的力量。

  • (Laughter)

    這位作家說 “下雪天

  • Um, no, it is not,

    或是在你的褲袋裡找到錢是厲害。”

  • and we need to raise the bar for this poor schmuck. (Laughter)

    呃,不,並不是,

  • It's a lot like drinking from a firehose

    我們要幫這個蠢材提高標準 (笑聲)

  • like this jackass right here.

    換句話說,當你擁有所有,

  • There's no dynamic, there's no highs or lows,

    你也就甚麼都不珍惜。

  • if everything is awesome.

    這個道理就像是喝消防帶的水,
