People think haute cuisine is snooty. So chef must also be snooty. But not so.
人们都认为高级餐饮是高高在上的，所以厨师也都是很高高在上的。但并非如此。
We are artist,pirate. More than cooks we are.
我们是艺术家，海盗。然后再是厨师。
Anyone can cook.
人人能烹饪。
EGO: In many way,the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgement. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.
在许多方面，评论家的工作很轻松。我们不怎么需要冒险，却能享受比那些提供自身作品供我们评判的人高出一等的地位。我们热衷于批评别人，写者和读者都觉得有趣。但我们批评家必须面对的苦涩事实是：总的来说，任何普通的垃圾食品都可能比我们对它的批评来得更有意义。但有时，评论家真正需要冒险的是发现和呵护新生事物。这世界对新天才，新创意常常太过刻薄。这些后起之秀需要朋友。
Not everyone can become a great artist. But a great artist can come from anywhere.
不是每个人都能成为伟大的艺术家，但伟大的艺术家可能来自任何地方。
