不完全是吧，我愿意成為廚師，那是我想做的事，但目前，我只是個(gè)包辦伙食的人，這不一樣。
What’s a caterer?
什么叫包辦伙食？
A caterer makes food for lots of people.I make all the lunches for the people who work on the building site next door. It’s just sandwiches or soup, or other simple things.It’s quite boring I like more of a challenge!
包辦伙食就是給無(wú)數(shù)的人做飯，我包攬旁邊工地所有人的午飯，不過(guò)就是三明治或是湯之類的簡(jiǎn)單食品，十分無(wú)聊，我想有更多的挑戰(zhàn)。
Here she is!
她來(lái)了！

I’m from Brazil! Even if no one believes me.
從巴西來(lái)，雖然沒(méi)人相信。
Why don’t people think you’re from Brazil?
為什么人們不相信你從巴西來(lái)？
I don’t like football, and I can’t dance.

對(duì)，他們有歷史價(jià)值。
It won’t stop them.
這阻止不了他們。
