“All you can do is do something someone's done before but do it better or differently.”
你能做的就是做一件別人做過的事,但把它做得更好,或者做出不一樣。
一句話把創作的底牌攤開:沒有全新的東西,只有做得更好或換個做法。它不煽情也不認輸,像那種在飯桌上想通之後隨口說出的結論,換成工作、寫作、做內容的場合都能用。
All you can do is ... but do it better or differently.
被人說「這個早有人做過了」時,用來接住話、把重點從原創挪到做好上,語氣平靜。
Everything has been done; you just have to do it your way. / You can only take what exists and sharpen it.
口語
All you can do is 連讀,better or differently 放慢,differently 落重音收尾。
All you can do is take an old idea and tell it differently. 你能做的就是拿一個老點子,換個方式講出來。
