他到底在想什麼...
★★★★★★★★★★★★

“A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it.”
1. totally into... 完全迷戀上⋯⋯;很喜歡⋯⋯
2. find to be 發現
3. hit the body with 以⋯⋯擊中身體
4. ultraviolet 紫外線
「如果你很喜歡那個世界,你可能會想到一個我覺得頗為有趣的問題。因此,據推測,我們以強光射向人體,無論是紫外線還是威力強大的光,然而我想你說這尚未得到確認,但你將對其進行試驗。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? ”
5. suppose 猜想;假設
6. brought sth inside the body 將⋯⋯帶入體內
7. in some way 某種方式
「然後我說,假設你可以把那種光以穿透皮膚或其它的方式帶入體內。而我想你也說過會對其進行測試。這聽起來很有趣,對吧?」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”
8. disinfectant (尤指用於廁所、廚房表面消毒的)消毒劑;除菌劑
9. knock sth out 毀壞;擊倒*
10. injection 注射
11. do a number on sb 傷害某人;打敗某人;使某人難堪
12. a medical doctor 醫學醫生
「然後我注意到了消毒劑,它在一分鐘內就能消滅病菌。而是否還有其它方法,我們可以藉由體內注射或近乎體內清掃的方式,因為你看到病毒進入肺部,並傷害肺部,因此測試一下此一方法應該會很有趣,所以你必須有醫生陪同,但這對我來說很有趣。因此,我們將會看到有關光的此一想法,也就是光在一分鐘內殺死病菌的方式。那真是太強大了。」
*knock something out:https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/knock+something+out
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“Again, I say maybe you can, maybe you can't. I'm not a doctor. But I'm a person that has a good...you know what. Deborah, have you ever heard of that? The heat and the light relative to certain viruses, yes, but relative to this virus? ”
13. you know what 你懂的(用於代指對話中對方可意會之事)*
14. relative to 與⋯⋯相關;有關;涉及
「再一次,我說也許你可以,也許你不能。我不是醫生。但我這個人就是⋯⋯你懂的。柏克斯,妳聽說過嗎?熱和光與某種病毒相關,是的,但跟這個病毒有關嗎?」
*此處之「you know what」可能為「you know what I mean/am talking about」的省略用法。川普可能是想說common sense、intuition、instinct等單詞來稱讚自己,只是臨時想不到要用哪一個單詞。
*(you) know what I mean:https://bit.ly/3eOeSgD
you know:https://bit.ly/2YaKwiB
You know what?:https://bit.ly/3aCFnC8
★★★★★★★★★★★★
不過隔天川普則表示他當時是在開玩笑:https://youtu.be/djiipDJz8ek
Please do NOT take him seriously.

Jana: Yeah, everything is okay. Thanks for asking. Sometimes I get a little homesick and miss my family and my language. I didn’t realize how important my home language is to me. It’s really part of who I am.
Peter: I definitely understand that. Even though my parents and sisters are multilingual, we usually only speak our first language with one another.
Jana: But you don’t seem to ever miss your home language.
Peter: Of course I do! But this is a very multicultural campus and city. There are people here who speak your home language. It has helped me to find people who speak my first language. We get together every couple of weeks to talk.
Jana: I’m glad you understand. Part of me thinks I am a failure or I’m not acclimating to the U.S. if I don’t speak English all the time.
Peter: Nonsense! All of our languages are part of who we are and part of our identities. We can’t ignore that.

[Paris pastry / 巴黎甜點] Nicolas Paciello 主廚(Fouquet’s)的聖誕節蛋糕創作 / Yule log 2019 of Nicolas Paciello for Fouquet’s (for English, please click “see more”)
前兩天應邀參加 Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris 的下午茶體驗,今年九月剛剛離開 Hotel Prince de Galles 加入 Fouquet’s 的甜點主廚 Nicolas Paciello 向我們介紹他過去兩個月幾乎沒日沒夜辛勤工作的成果—— Retaurant Le Joy 的全新下午茶套餐以及今年的聖誕節蛋糕。
1899 年由 Louis Fouquet 創立的 Restaurant Fouquet's Paris 位於巴黎香榭麗謝與喬治五世大道交口,原本是一個酒館、餐廳。採用創始人 Fouquet 的家族姓氏,後面再加上「’s」的英美式用法,賦予它不少時髦意味。今年適逢 120 周年慶的 Fouquet’s 在巴黎是非常知名且歷史悠久的餐廳,每年被譽為「法國奧斯卡」的凱薩獎頒獎典禮餐會都是在這裡舉行,1990 年,Fouquet’s 餐廳也被列為法國歷史遺跡。1998 年,法國賭場與酒店集團 Barrier 買下 Fouquet’s 餐廳與旁邊六棟建築物、創立 Hôtel Barrier Le Fouquet’s Paris,從此 Fouquet’s 變成為一個包含豪華旅館與餐廳、酒吧的品牌,能和周遭林立的豪華酒店如 Four Seasons Hotel George V、Prince de Galles 等比肩。今年三月,位於路口的 Fouquet’s 餐廳因為黃背心運動被大肆破壞,不得不關門整修,直到七月十四日法國國慶日才重新開幕。旅館內的其他餐廳、酒吧如 Le Joy、Le Marta Paris 等也一併經過重新整修。
從隔壁 Prince de Galles 飯店轉職過來的甜點主廚 Nicolas Paciello 為 Fouquet’s 的 Le Joy 餐廳設計了「two courses」的下午茶套餐(48€ /人,含一杯熱飲,另有含一杯香檳的版本€58 / 人):第一道是包含三明治等鹹點與 scones、cookies(美式餅乾果然很紅吧!)、法式小點心 petit fours 的三層架,第二道則是三樣主廚精選甜點的迷你版,包含開心果閃電泡芙、檸檬塔、巴黎・布列斯特泡芙。
當天 Nicolas Paciello 主廚並為我們介紹了他今年的力作——「La Bûche de Noël de Louis Bouquet」(Louis Fouquet 的聖誕節蛋糕)。他與歷史學家Marion Godfroy-Tayart de Borms 合作設計,參考了 120 年前的流行風格和 Louis Fouquet 本人的喜好,是一款外觀看來非常神秘的蛋糕。放在巧克力雕塑製成的展示高台上的蛋糕,是由濕潤的烘烤杏仁海綿蛋糕(biscuit moelleux à l’amande torréfiée)加上黑巧克力慕斯(mousse de chocolat intense)與糖漬香檸檬(confit de bergamote)組成,隱藏在一層薄薄的杏仁膏之下,鮮紅色的外觀呼應 Fouquet’s 的招牌遮雨檐。我之前也提過,法國現在也在流行減糖,許多甜點都早已顛覆以前法式甜點給人的甜膩印象。而這個蛋糕大概是我過去數年來在法國吃過「最不甜」的蛋糕,主廚 Nicolas 也是刻意如此設計,突出香檸檬的酸味、並用杏仁的香氣和圓潤去中和,讓人在豐盛的聖誕大餐後,仍然能毫無負擔地享用、成為完美的結尾。不過,如果是在平時下午茶品嚐,酸度卻有些過於強烈了。

*****
I got invited to Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet’s Paris earlier this week for tasting their tea time at Restaurant Le Joy and the yule log creation. Nicolas Paciello, head pastry chef (former head pastry chef at Hôtel Prince de Galles) of the hotel who just arrived two months ago gave us a warm welcome.
Situated on the intersection of Avenue des Champs-Élyées and Avenue George V, the brasserie-restaurant Fouquet’s was founded by Louis Fouquet in 1899. Louis Fouquet named the restaurant after his family name but added the “’s” to give it a trendy style. Celebrating its 120 anniversaire this year, Fouquet’s is a legendary restaurant in Paris. It holds the gala dinner for Cézar Awards, the French equivalent of Academy awards, each year and was frequented by many celebrities. The main room of Fouquet’s was listed as an "Inventaire des Monuments Historiques” (French historical monument) in 1990. In 1998, Group Barrière, a French casino and luxury hotel group, bought the restaurant and further acquired 6 buildings around it to create Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet Paris. Fouquet’s has since then become a brand that includes a luxury hotel, symbolic restaurants and bars. Fouquet’s was severely damaged during the Gillet Jaune movement this march and was thus closed for renovation for several months. It re-opened in July on the Bastille Day this year and the restaurants and bars in the hotel also underwent a make-over.
Fouquet’s new head pastry chef Nicolas Paciello created a new tea time menu for Restaurant Le Joy that is composed of two courses: served on a 3-tiered stand, a sweet and savoury selection including scones, cookies, finger sandwiches, and petit fours comes first, followed by 3 chef’s signature pastries in mini form: pistachio éclairs, lemon tart, and Paris-Brest.
The chef also presented us his Christmas cake creation in tribute to the founder of Fouquet's, “La Bûche de Noël de Louis Fouquet”. In collaboration with the historian Marion Godfroy-Tayart de Borms, this yule log pays great attention to the fashion back to 120 years ago as well as the preference of Louis Fouquet himself. This mysterious-looking cake sits on a high stand made of chocolate and is covered by a thin layer of almond paste, whose vivid color clearly refers to the brasserie’s distinctive red awnings on Charmps-Élysées. The cake itself is made of a moist roasted almond sponge cake, a dark chocolate mousse as well as a bergamot confit. Now that a “less-sugar” trend seems to sweep the French pastry industry, many pastries and desserts here in Paris are much less sweet and filling compared to before. With a rather strong acidity of the bergamot orange rounded by almonds biscuit and chocolate cream, the cake is probably the least sweet cake I’ve ever tasted in recent years. The chef Nicolas has made it on purpose so that it’s light enough to be enjoyed at the end of a Christmas feast. However, if you taste it during tea time in normal days, you might find yourself crave more sweetness.
