u "fenomenalno."
00:33
Recently, I was dining at an outdoor cafe,
8
21506
2824
Nedavno sam večerala
na terasi kafića.
na terasi kafića.
00:36
and the server came up to our table,
9
24330
1913
Konobar je prišao našem stolu,
00:38
and asked us if we had dined there before,
10
26243
1547
upitao nas jesmo li
ondje već večerali,
ondje već večerali,
00:39
and I said, "Yes, yes, we have."
11
27790
1949
i ja sam rekla: "Da, jesmo."
00:41
And she said, "Awesome."
12
29739
2780
A ona je rekla: "Fenomenalno."
00:44
And I thought, "Really?
13
32519
2235
Pomislila sam: "Stvarno?!"
00:46
Awesome or just merely good
14
34754
2622
Fenomenalno ili tek dovoljno dobro
00:49
that we decided to visit your restaurant again?"
15
37376
4664
što smo odlučili ponovno
posjetiti vaš restoran?"
posjetiti vaš restoran?"
00:54
The other day, one of my coworkers asked me
16
42040
2360
Neki dan, jedan od mojih
suradnika pitao me
suradnika pitao me
00:56
if I could save that file as a PDF,
17
44400
2480
mogu li nešto spremiti
u PDF-formatu.
u PDF-formatu.
00:58
and I said, "Well, of course," and he said, "Awesome."
18
46880
3741
Rekla sam: "Pa, naravno."
A on na to: "Fenomenalno!"
A on na to: "Fenomenalno!"
01:02
Seriously, can saving anything as a PDF
19
50621
6227
Ozbiljno... Može li
spremanje bilo čega u PDF-u
spremanje bilo čega u PDF-u
01:08
be awesome?
20
56848
2948
biti fenomenalno?!
01:11
Sadly, the frequent overuse of the word "awesome"
21
59796
3160
Nažalost, česta pretjerana
uporaba riječi "fenomenalno"
uporaba riječi "fenomenalno"
01:14
has now replaced words like "great" and "thank you."
22
62956
4167
zamijenila je riječi poput
"odlično" i "hvala ti".
"odlično" i "hvala ti".
01:19
So Webster's dictionary defines the word "awesome"
23
67123
4372
Websterov rječnik
definira riječ "fenomenalno"
definira riječ "fenomenalno"
01:23
as fear mingled with admiration or reverence,
24
71495
4128
kao strah pomiješan
s divljenjem ili poštovanjem,
s divljenjem ili poštovanjem,
01:27
a feeling produced by something majestic.
25
75623
3396
osjećaj izazvan
nečim veličanstvenim.
nečim veličanstvenim.
01:31
Now, with that in mind,
26
79019
1924
S time na umu...
01:32
was your Quiznos sandwich awesome?
27
80943
3297
Je li vaš sendvič iz Quiznosa
bio fenomenalan?
bio fenomenalan?
01:36
How about that parking space? Was that awesome?
28
84240
2270
Što je s ovim parkirališnim mjestom?
Je li ono bilo fenomenalno?
Je li ono bilo fenomenalno?
01:38
Or that game the other day? Was that awesome?
29
86510
2546
Ili ona nedavna utakmica?
Je li ona bila fenomenalna?
Je li ona bila fenomenalna?
01:41
The answer is no, no and no.
30
89056
2384
Odgovor je: Ne, ne i ne.
01:43
A sandwich can be delicious,
31
91440
1673
Sendvič može biti ukusan,
01:45
that parking space can be nearby,
32
93113
2302
parkirališno mjesto
može biti u blizini,
može biti u blizini,
01:47
and that game can be a blowout,
33
95415
2740
a ona utakmica spektakularna,
01:50
but not everything can be awesome.
34
98155
4225
ali ne može sve biti fenomenalno!
01:54
(Laughter)
35
102380
1630
(Smijeh)
01:56
So when you use the word "awesome"
36
104010
1649
Stoga, kad upotrebljavate
riječ "fenomenalno"
riječ "fenomenalno"
01:57
to describe the most mundane of things,
37
105659
3318
kako biste opisali
najobičnije stvari,
najobičnije stvari,
02:00
you're taking away the very power of the word.
38
108977
2903
oduzimate snagu toj riječi.
02:03
This author says, "Snowy days
39
111880
2418
Ovaj autor kaže: "Snježni dani
02:06
or finding money in your pants is awesome."
40
114298
4275
ili pronalazak novca u
vašim hlačama su fenomenalni!"
vašim hlačama su fenomenalni!"
02:10
(Laughter)
41
118573
878
(Smijeh)
02:11
Um, no, it is not,
42
119451
1982
Hm... Ne, nije...
02:13
and we need to raise the bar for this poor schmuck.
(Laughter)
(Laughter)
43
121433
6398
Moramo podići letvicu ovome šmokljanu.
(Smijeh)
(Smijeh)
02:19
So in other words, if you have
everything, you value nothing.
everything, you value nothing.
44
127831
3570
Drugim riječima, ako
imate sve, ne cijenite ništa.
imate sve, ne cijenite ništa.
02:23
It's a lot like drinking from a firehose
45
131401
2370
To je kao da pijete
iz vatrogasnog crijeva,
iz vatrogasnog crijeva,
02:25
like this jackass right here.
46
133771
3948
kao ovaj magarac ovdje.
02:29
There's no dynamic, there's no highs or lows,
47
137719
2419
Nema dinamike, nema
visina ni dubina,
visina ni dubina,
02:32
if everything is awesome.
48
140138
1862
ako je sve fenomenalno.
02:34
Ladies and gentlemen, here are 10 things
49
142000

Dame i gospodo, ovo je 10 stvari
02:36

1918

Imagine, if you will, having to schlep
51
146083
2683
Zamislite da morate tegliti
02:40
everything on your back.
52
148766
1461
sve na svojim leđima.
02:42
Wouldn't this be easier for me
53
150227
1993
Zar mi ne bi bilo lakše
02:44
if I could roll this home?
54
152220
1968
kad bih to mogla otkotrljati kući?
02:46
Yes, so I think I'll invent the wheel.
55
154188
2329
Da, mislim da ću izumiti kotač!
02:48

ogroman nadgrobni spomenik.

(Laughter) —
75
204311
2216
(Smijeh)
03:38
wasn't that easier than exposing the image
76
206527

Nije li to bilo lakše od izlaganja slike

Did you eat food today? Did you eat?
84
227422
2551
Jeste li jeli danas?
04:01
Then you can thank the honeybee, that's the one,
85
229973
2328
Onda najprije zahvalite pčelama.
04:04
because if crops aren't pollinated, we can't grow food,
86
232301
3094
Jer ako usjevi nisu oprašeni,
ne možemo uzgojiti hranu,
ne možemo uzgojiti hranu,
04:07
and then we're all going to die.
87
235395
1822
i svi ćemo umrijeti.
04:09
It's just like that.
88
237217
1120
Tek tako.
04:10
But it's not like a flower can just get up
89
238337
2345
Ali nije baš da cvijet može ustati
04:12
and have sex with another flower,
90
240682
2472
i seksati se s drugim cvijetom...
04:15
although that would be awesome.
91
243154

Iako bi to bilo fenomenalno...

Why you should listen
Jill Shargaa’s comedy career took off in 1979, when she sold a one-liner to Joan Rivers for $9. She’s been making audiences laugh ever since, first as a member of the sketch comedy troupe The Funny Farm in Orlando, Florida, next on the ABC television show America’s Funniest People (she came in third), and now with her all-female comedy revue, Evening of Estrogen.
Jill is also the founder of Shargaa Illustration and Design, and has done work for Universal Studios Creative Resources and Walt Disney Imagineering. Half illustrator and half designer, she favors concepts that, go figure, raise a chuckle.
