　　We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.　　我們以負(fù)面評(píng)論見稱,因?yàn)樽x寫皆饒富趣味

　　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.　　* 可是，我們評(píng)論家必須面對一個(gè)難堪的事實(shí) :以價(jià)值而言, 被評(píng)論家批評(píng)為平庸之物的同時(shí)我們的評(píng)論也許比他更為平庸

　　* Not everyone can become a great artist,　　并非任何人都能成為偉大的藝術(shù)家

　　but a great artist can come from anywhere.　　但是偉大的藝術(shù)家可能來自任何地方

　　It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France.　　現(xiàn)今在食神餐廳掌廚的天才出身之低微令人難以想像,依在下之見, 他是法國最好的廚師
