Эмили в Париже: Волшебный суп из лука-порея

The poireau people are here.

ðə poireau ˈpipəl ər hir.

What? I thought we cancelled!

wət? aɪ θɔt wi ˈkænsəld!

I tried, but they were very persistent.

aɪ traɪd, bət ðeɪ wər ˈvɛri pərˈsɪstənt.

Poireau? Oh, um, I don't know that brand. Are they leather goods?

poireau? oʊ, əm, aɪ doʊnt noʊ ðət brænd. ər ðeɪ ˈlɛðər gʊdz?

A poireau is a leek.

ə poireau ɪz ə lik.

Yes, and Savoir doesn't market root vegetables. Can they even afford our fees?

jɛs, ənd savoir ˈdəzənt ˈmɑrkɪt rut ˈvɛʤtəbəlz. kən ðeɪ ˈivɪn əˈfɔrd ɑr fiz?

Well, the leek lobby is very powerful in France.

wɛl, ðə lik ˈlɑbi ɪz ˈvɛri ˈpaʊərfəl ɪn fræns.

Okay Emily, after mishandling Pierre Cadault and compromising Champère with your poor choices, the leek could be your chance to redeem yourself. Courage.

ˌoʊˈkeɪ ˈɛmɪli, ˈæftər mɪsˈhændlɪŋ piɛr cadault ənd ˈkɑmprəˌmaɪzɪŋ champère wɪθ jʊr pur ˈʧɔɪsɪz, ðə lik kʊd bi jʊr ʧæns tɪ rɪˈdim ˈjɔrsɛlf. kərɪʤ.

It shouldn't be called the humble leek. It's so much more than that.

ɪt ˈʃʊdənt bi kɔld ðə ˈhəmbəl lik. ɪts soʊ məʧ mɔr ðən ðət.

Yes. Complex. Mysterious. Versatile.

jɛs. ˈkɑmplɛks. mɪˈstɪriəs. ˈvərsətəl.

Sweet but earthy.

swit bət ˈərθi.

It's a beloved French staple that deserves international recognition.

ɪts ə bɪˈləvəd frɛnʧ ˈsteɪpəl ðət dɪˈzərvz ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˌrɛkɪgˈnɪʃən.

Well, then let's give it a makeover. Lobsters were considered the cockroaches of the sea until they were marketed as a delicacy.

wɛl, ðɛn lɛts gɪv ɪt ə ˈmæˌkoʊvər. ˈlɑbstərz wər kənˈsɪdərd ðə ˈkɑˌkroʊʧɪz əv ðə si ənˈtɪl ðeɪ wər ˈmɑrkətɪd ɛz ə ˈdɛlɪkəsi.

Precisely. And, as an American, you're perfect. We'd love a rebrand that boosts our market share in the States. And we think, with your help, we could be the next Brussels sprouts.

prɪˈsaɪsli. ənd, ɛz ən əˈmɛrɪkən, jʊr ˈpərˌfɪkt. wid ləv ə rebrand ðət busts ɑr ˈmɑrkɪt ʃɛr ɪn ðə steɪts. ənd wi θɪŋk, wɪθ jʊr hɛlp, wi kʊd bi ðə nɛkst ˈbrəsəlz spraʊts.

I hate Brussels sprouts.

aɪ heɪt ˈbrəsəlz spraʊts.

So do I. Bitter little balls of cabbage that need to be roasted in liters of olive oil to be edible.

soʊ du aɪ. ˈbɪtər ˈlɪtəl bɔlz əv ˈkæbɪʤ ðət nid tɪ bi ˈroʊstɪd ɪn ˈlitərz əv ˈɑlɪv ɔɪl tɪ bi ˈɛdəbəl.

Hold the Brussels sprouts; I'll have a potato leek soup.

hoʊld ðə ˈbrəsəlz spraʊts; aɪl hæv ə pəˈteɪˌtoʊ lik sup.

No potato. Why do people always toss in a dirty old potato?

noʊ pəˈteɪˌtoʊ. waɪ du ˈpipəl ˈɔlˌweɪz tɔs ɪn ə ˈdərti oʊld pəˈteɪˌtoʊ?

Serge! Breathe.

sərʤ! brið.

And the tag line is "Le Leek, c'est Chic!"

ənd ðə tæg laɪn ɪz "lə lik, sɛst ʃik!"

It's not just the tag line. The whole thing feels like a little cliché.

ɪts nɑt ʤɪst ðə tæg laɪn. ðə hoʊl θɪŋ filz laɪk ə ˈlɪtəl clichéé.

Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, if you want to attract Americans, why not just give them magic leek soup?

jæ, noʊ, aɪ əˈgri. aɪ min, ɪf ju wɔnt tɪ əˈtrækt əˈmɛrɪkənz, waɪ nɑt ʤɪst gɪv ðɛm ˈmæʤɪk lik sup?

Oh. What's magic leek soup?

oʊ. wəts ˈmæʤɪk lik sup?

Leeks are a diet food for French women. We boil them and drink the water. It's our magic trick. Our little secret.

liks ər ə daɪət fud fər frɛnʧ ˈwɪmən. wi bɔɪl ðɛm ənd drɪŋk ðə ˈwɔtər. ɪts ɑr ˈmæʤɪk trɪk. ɑr ˈlɪtəl ˈsikrɪt.

Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

waɪ ˈdɪdənt ju tɛl mi ðət ˈərliər?

Well then it wouldn't be a secret, would it?

wɛl ðɛn ɪt ˈwʊdənt bi ə ˈsikrɪt, wʊd ɪt?

I just don't think that there's a magic way to lose weight. That just sounds like something Gwyneth would push on Goop.

aɪ ʤɪst doʊnt θɪŋk ðət ðɛrz ə ˈmæʤɪk weɪ tɪ luz weɪt. ðət ʤɪst saʊnz laɪk ˈsəmθɪŋ gˈwɪnəθ wʊd pʊʃ ɔn gup.

Oh! You can get us on Goop? Oh, let's do that. Please!

oʊ! ju kən gɪt ˈjuˈɛs ɔn gup? oʊ, lɛts du ðət. pliz!

Have you heard of this?

hæv ju hərd əv ðɪs?

Of course. It's a common drink that helps shed kilos.

əv kɔrs. ɪts ə ˈkɑmən drɪŋk ðət hɛlps ʃɛd ˈkiˌloʊz.

What? That sounds so bad for you.

wət? ðət saʊnz soʊ bæd fər ju.

Yes, but it's perfect for America.

jɛs, bət ɪts ˈpərˌfɪkt fər əˈmɛrɪkə.

I just don't think that we should be promoting weight loss cures. Fad diets are really dangerous. And America is more about health and wellness now.

aɪ ʤɪst doʊnt θɪŋk ðət wi ʃʊd bi prəˈmoʊtɪŋ weɪt lɔs kjʊrz. fæd daɪɪts ər ˈrɪli ˈdeɪnʤərəs. ənd əˈmɛrɪkə ɪz mɔr əˈbaʊt hɛlθ ənd ˈwɛlnəs naʊ.

Come on, Emily. Surely you agree Americans love a shortcut. A drive-thru. A quick fix.

kəm ɔn, ˈɛmɪli. ˈʃʊrli ju əˈgri əˈmɛrɪkənz ləv ə ˈʃɔrtˌkət. ə ˈdraɪvθˈru. ə kwɪk fɪks.

Well, yeah. Sure we do. So then soup's not going to work. It takes too long to cook. We'd need something that's ready to go. That's bottled, like, I don't know, cold-pressed juice.

wɛl, jæ. ʃʊr wi du. soʊ ðɛn sups nɑt goʊɪŋ tɪ wərk. ɪt teɪks tu lɔŋ tɪ kʊk. wid nid ˈsəmθɪŋ ðæts ˈrɛdi tɪ goʊ. ðæts ˈbɑtəld, laɪk, aɪ doʊnt noʊ, cold-pressed ʤus.

Cold-pressed leek juice!

cold-pressed lik ʤus!

Voilà.

voilàà.
