这是一本幽默书籍

而且说实话 他能靠写作赚钱已经是…
And TBH, the fact that he's being paid anything at all to write is…
一种成功了
the victory here.
所以他什么时候拿到钱？

因为你知道这活动不便宜

出版部全都亏空
All of publishing is on its knees.
大多数书连收回订金的利润都不够 除非是厨师出书

不 -好吧
No. - Well.
如果你认识什么厨师或遇见任何厨师
Well, if you know any chefs, you ever meet a chef,
能不能联络我？
would you give me a call?

你不过是穿高领衣、留山羊胡的文青
You are a San Fran goatee in a turtleneck,
读诗歌♥、打邦戈鼓 旁边是穿黑色紧身服的女子伴舞
reading poetry and playing bongo drums to dancing women in black leotards.
你不是让人认真对待的男人
You're not a serious man,

不 我不喜欢 太小了 都没办法好好抱着
No, I don't like him. He's too small to hug properly.
那你想怎么处理？
What do you want to do with him?
虽然我为泰勒难过 但我们必须退回去 换个大点的
I'm sorry for Tyler, but we'll have to send him back, get a bigger one.
不过很可惜 因为很可爱
It's a shame, though, 'cause he is cute.

But Jase, before she gets here, can we have a chat?
抱歉 宝贝 我要出门
I'm sorry, babe. I'm heading out.
你不是吧？我们还没聊

我知道 但现在是高峰时段
I know, but it's peak time, isn't it?
此刻两个小时顶之后四个小时 我很…我们能明天聊吗？

How do you know if you're depressed?
珍 怎么了？
Jen, what's the matter?
我想和小丁当在一起 但我觉得她不想和我在一起
I wanna be with Tinkle, but I don't think she wants to be with me.
你为什么想和一个 不想和你在一起的人恋爱？
