Well, this is my first submission, hope it works.

• 不管怎麼說, 你都跟食物無緣

bùguǎn zěnme shuō, nǐ dōu gēn shíwù wú yuán

緣 is listed in the dictionary as "reason", but I think there's got to be a more suitable translation for this sentence. Maybe "no matter how you look at it, you just have bad luck with food." 

I'd translate it as "no matter what, you and food are just not meant to be".

噯, 分一點給我啦 "Fine, cut off some for me."

I would go with "Hey, c'mon, share some with me."

Is it just me or does the mom sound like she's saying "Zai4 zhao2 shen3me" in the following line? 

• 你在找什麼啊?

Nǐ zài zhǎo shénme a
Lit. you are looking for what
What are you looking for?

In Taiwan, the official pronounciation is she2me while the official mainland pronouciation is shen2me. The difference is very subtle. In regular speech, most Taiwanese and quite a number of mainlanders pronounce 什麼 as she3me.

love it .. please post some more of this .. haven't seen this cartoon for a long time .. it's nice to be able to watch and learn at the same time :)

I'm trying to think of what this idiom means and for the life of me I can't figure it out.  Supposedly 津 means "ferry" - so what in the heck does this all mean?  Any insight from the experts?

簡單地說, "津津有味" 指的是食物很好吃, 所以吃得很起勁. Hope it helps! 少則得, 多則惑.

One definition for 津 is 口水 or saliva. Therefore 津津有味 means it tastes so good you are salivating.

This is just one of those cases where it's hard to find a clear mapping between the Mandarin and the English.  The translation works fine:  yuan2 (or yuan2fen4)--sorry, I'm on a Mac and just learning!--have a lot of cultural currency (in Taiwan, at least) as meaning "fate" or "destiny."  Although it may sound corny or unelegant to say "you and food were not meant to be," that's precisely the "flavor" of it.  I'm all in favor of stretching the code in search of idioms that invoke the same feeling.  You know how we say "Youth is wasted on the young"?  There's a bit of that in the quote here.   

Your ears do not deceive you.  Indeed you are hearing a third tone-second tone combination.  Ask anyone from Taiwan who speaks some English, and most from China, how they might render the English "Whaaaaaaaat?" People are notoriously bad at reporting their own linguistic performance, and so the language learner has to be a bit devious to create context in which subtlety comes out--for there lies the difference between an advanced student of the language, and one who can play with nuance.  The reason most of your Chinese interlocutors will cite the first syllable of 什麼 as "shen2" is because of the Chinese preoccupation with the character--as opposed to the syllable--as the most essential unit of linguistic description.  Other than the "shi2" in "shi2jin3cai4," the *character* exists chiefly as a bound morpheme in the word "shen4zhi4" ("even to the extent that").  In character dictionaries, therefore, it is typically glossed with a final "-n".  Having listened to a lot of natural language data as a grad student, and noticing the same phonetic pattern more than 20 years ago when I first began learning Mandarin (in Taiwan), I'm fairly confident in saying that you'll just never hear the "-n".  This doesn't account for the second tone citation of the syllable, though.  Chinese native speakers will have a hard time accepting this, just as English speakers find it hard understanding that the /th/ in "this" and the /th/ in "think" are two different phonemes, or that the /t/ in top, stop, pot, and butter are perceived quite differently by some non-native speakers.  

Sjcma is quite right about the meaning of 津, though the structure of the expression tells us that the meaning is a little different from what s/he poses.  Reduplicated words in Mandarin can mean several things, one of which is "every X."  One pattern is "measure word-measure word"

cbutler, how very technical of you. :) Actually, 什麼 is officially she2me on Taiwan rather than shen2me, although in actual use, it takes many forms. Good posts, keep'em coming. :)

BTW, how would you translate "yuan2fen4" in this context. I'm not a profession translator but I was aiming for the feel of the sentence rather than taking a too-literal approach.

Maybe you want to finish translating Qiu Jin's speech. :D
