This, right here, this is the best that I can do.

這 就是我所能做到最好的程度了

Now, trust me.

好 請相信我

I've been looking at it from every little angle, The "ears" are not....

我已經從每一個細微的方面觀察過了 它的"耳" 沒有...

The layers, they could be more...

它的層次 真的沒辦法再多了

Even the baking...

甚至在烘烤時

Obviously, I can find plenty excuses for that

當然 我對此可以有不少的藉口

Like I am always filming while I am baking, this is very distracting,

像是我在烘焙時總是在攝影 而這很容易讓我分心

there's also a massive heatwave happening in Paris these days, it's just melting my layers ...

最近巴黎又有一波熱浪來襲 造成它的層次一直融化

And for that matter, I shouldn't even be recording a voiceover, I ve got broken voice afterall...

而因為這些 我甚至不應該錄製這段旁白 我的聲音相當的沙啞

Excuses...

都是藉口...

I guess, at the end of the day, my final croissant is just

我想 我最後的可頌就是...

not perfect.

不完美

And I don't think it's fair.

而我不認為這是公平的

I mean, I have been practicing so much,

我的意思是 我花了那麼多時間練習

I have been working hard,

我那麼的努力

I've been learning from masters of their craft...

我向大師們學習了它們的技法

I have even been using technology to help me out.

我也利用了科技來幫助我

And yet this croissant

然而這個可頌...

still remains undeniably and so painfully imperfect.

依舊是無可否認且痛苦的不完美

Now, when if I pause for a moment

但是 每當 我暫停了一下

if I just step back and try to have an objective look at it.

如果我往後退一步 試著用客觀的角度來觀察它

Well,

然而...

I - do - not - see : a failure.

我並沒有看見一個失敗品

I mean, my mind sure wants to see it as a failure because it's not "perfect".

我的意思是 我心裡當然會想要把它是為一個"失敗品" 因為它不是完美的

But you know, as surprising as it may sound, I do not -always- agree with my mind.

但是 意外的是 我並不總是同意我心裡的想法

Like,

像是...

From another angle, this croissant is

從另一個角度來看 這個可頌是...

an achievement.

是個里程碑

You see, before starting this Croissant journey,

如你所見 在這可頌之旅開始之前

I never ever had baked puff pastry before,

我從來沒有做過酥皮

I knew nothing about laminated dough, and

我曾對橄平麵糰的技巧一竅不通

butter water content was just foreign' to me.

為我來講奶油和水的比例也曾經如同天書一般

Not anymore, right ?

但不再是了 對吧?

Like, along the way, I built muscle memory.

像是 在這過程當中 有些事成了反射動作

I met farmers and and bakers,

我見了不少農夫和烘焙師

and even became friends with them.

甚至和它們成為了朋友

I solved problems.

我解決了問題

I 3D-printed and CNC-ed for the time.

我第一次成功3D列印物品

I simply got better at things I didn't even know existed.

我在一些我曾經壓根不知道的事物上進步了

I made stuff.

我做了不少東西

I created stuff.

也創造了不少

And that got me undeniably happy doing so.

而這也讓我無可否認的感到高興我這這做了

They say

他們說

If you shoot at the moon and miss, you'll land among the stars.

假如你描準月亮但失手了 你打到的將會是群星

Well... sorry to be that guy but, that is both literally and figuratively wrong,

但...那個傢也蠻可憐的 因為它所說的不僅僅字面上和意義上都是錯的

which doesn't mean it's all bad.

但這並不全然代表這是不好的

If you miss the moon you're more likely gonna come back down to earth instead.

如果你沒打到月亮 比較有可能會發生的昰 你會掉回地球

And that's basically what happened to me.

而那就是發生在我身上的事

This is what's happening to me on all my series...

這就是在每一集我所經歷的事

I am looking for perfection,

我追求完美

A perfection that doesn't even exist,

一個根本不存在的'完美''

A perfection that nobody can reach,

一個無人能達到的境界

An ideal, something that doesn't exist.

一個理想中的 根本不存在的...

Yes,

是的

My croissant is imperfect - YES - there's room for improvement -

我的可頌不是完美的 是的 它還有進步空間

but boy did I enjoy the ride.

但天阿 我真的很享受這趟旅程

Thank you.

謝謝你

So I just finished making my last croissant,

我剛完成了我的最後一個可頌

But now I need to hustle and stop by my place,

但現在 我需要盡快在一個地方暫停一下

Basically because,

基本上是因為

I am gonna be away for 2 days, and I really want my kid tomorrow morning

我即將要離開兩天 而我真的非常希望我的孩子們在明天早上

to have a taste at these croissants.

能夠嚐嚐這些可頌
