cookies
У нас (маленькой компании) очень ограниченный бюджет и мы работаем на домашней кухне. Мы не можем делать печенье в достаточном для вас количестве/объеме.
Great, thanks!) I couldn't get it
Does "out of our kitchen" mean "becаuse of our kitchen"
Я не уверен, но думаю это означает we run (our business) from our (home) kitchen
OK, I see now, thank you a lot
This means “we’re running on a shoestring budget” which means that their budget is very small, so they don’t have enough ingredients and/or manpower to make all the cookieS.
enough cookieS
Hi, thanks! Could you please explain the second part - "out of our kitchen", does it mean "from our kitchen"?
Yes, usually in the professional sense, i.e. a restaurant, catering company, etc.
If it's an industrial kitchen, not a home one, I don't understand why they mention this in addition to "running on a shoestring". What exactly does this explain/clarify?
Indeed, it's a home kitchen -
Если, out of our kitchen = на нашей кухне, может есть еще примеры, где "out of" употребляется в таком же смысле
спасибо, что помогли разобраться👍
Grumbler, Susan’s Scrumptious Cookies is a business - she makes cookies professionally.
OUT OF our kitchen, office, factory refers to professional production of anything.
Susan’s Scrumptious Cookies is a business - she makes cookies professionally.
Yes, it's a business, but a home business. Do you agree that she means a home kitchen? This is only to explain that the scale of production is very small.
So, basically this means "we professionally produce cookies in our home kitchen".
I don't like "professional production' because the boundary between professional and non-professional is too vague. IMO "business production" is more clear - production for business purposes.
My point was that it doesn’t matter whether the kitchen is at home or an industrial kitchen in a factory, “out of“ indicates that she’s doing it as a business/professionally, regardless of how you express that. If it was a social situation and the woman made cookies for a party, she wouldn’t say “these are OUT OF my kitchen,” she would say “these are FROM my kitchen.“
Understood, thanks.
👍🏼
Грамблер, а перевод бы не помешал.
У меня аллергия на эту книгу/учебник и я так и не уверен на 100% по поводу кухни. Из самого предложения не видно, что она домашняя, а без "домашняя" не вижу никакого смысла
Но ведь Улий объяснил: что-то типа «возможности нашей кухни/пекарни ограничены». Разве нет?
Я этого не вижу
Он подтвердил, что "This means “we’re running on a shoestring budget” which means that their BUDGET is very small so they don’t have enough ingredients and/or manpower".
Это понятно. Зачем тогда добавлять сюда кухню? Можно только догадываться, что кухня домашняя, маленькая, и это - еще одна причина.
На мой взгляд, и героиня, и автор - идиоты.
Героине звонят с серьезным предложением "we’d like to sell your cookies all over the country." - и героиня отвечает - см. выше. Если проблема только в бюджете, возьми кредит, дура. Если в площади и оборудовании - обясни нормально, а не просто "out of our kitchen".
У автора же одна задача - напихать как можно больше идиом, куда только можно.
The lady who’s calling her thinks that she has a bakery. Susan clarifies that no, she is producing the cookies at home with very little money and no investors. In other words, she’s running a small business from her home. We know that, because she uses “out of.” The crux of this is that she can’t possibly fulfill national demand for her cookies as long as she’s working out of her home and with no investors.
Did you not say above that, generally, a kitchen can be industrial, not necessarily at home?
We know it's at home, but the only what the other side of the conversation knows is tight budget and SOME kitchen.
Yes, any kitchen, but out of OUR kitchen, and the context, implies that she’s working from her home kitchen.
Our - may be, but I don't see how the context implies this
If she had an industrial kitchen, in a bakery, producing lots of cookies wouldn’t be a problem. Be she specifies that she’s making them out of HER/THEIR (home) kitchen.
