Abidemi: Okay, Rory, are you good at sports?

阿比德米：好，羅瑞，你擅長運動嗎？

Rory: Yeah, I am. I'm good at soccer, I think. And I run quite a lot. I'm getting faster. So yeah, I think I'm quite good at sports.

Abidemi: Wow.

阿比德米：哇哦。

Rory: How about you?

羅瑞：你呢？

Abidemi: No, not really. It's something that I never really practiced when I was a child so I'm not really good at sports. But when people look at me, they always say, "You look like you can run so fast. You look like you can play all these sports." I can run, but I don't do it often or played so many sports. Yup.

阿比德米：我並不太擅長。那是我在孩提時代從未練習過的事情，所以我並不擅長運動。不過其他人看我的樣子，總會跟我說：“你看上去可以跑得很快。你看上去擅長各種運動。”我是可以跑步，不過我不經常跑步，我參與的運動也不多。

Rory: Okay. And are you good at math?

羅瑞：好。那你數學好嗎？

Abidemi: Yes. I feel like I'm bragging when I say that but I enjoy math. And when I was in school, I did well in it. I think up to high school level math, I'm good. What about you, Rory?

阿比德米：很好。這樣說感覺我好像在吹噓，不過我很喜歡數學。上學時我的數學成績非常好。我想高中水平的數學，我很擅長。你呢，羅瑞？

Rory: Yeah, the same. So I think I'm quite good at math. I enjoyed it at high school but I didn't do it after that. Now I help my daughter with her math homework, and yeah, I think I'm pretty good.

羅瑞：我也一樣。我的數學也很好。我上高中時非常喜歡數學，不過之後我沒有在數學方面深造。現在我幫助我女兒做數學作業，我認爲我非常擅長數學。

Abidemi: Lucky her.

阿比德米：她真幸運。

Rory: And how about computers? Are you good at computers?

羅瑞：那電腦呢？你擅長電腦嗎？

Abidemi: I think I have the basics down. So I'm good at the basic things in computers. But overall, when it gets too complicated, I'm not too good at it. What about you, Rory?

阿比德米：我想我會基本操作。可以說我擅長電腦的基本操作。不過整體來說，如果操作太複雜，我就不擅長了。你呢，羅瑞？

Rory: Yeah, I'm okay. I can use a computer but I can't – I'm not good at programming, things like this, you know. I don't understand this.

羅瑞：我還好。我會用電腦，不過我不擅長編程這類。我不懂。

羅瑞：我非常擅於早起。

Abidemi: How early?

阿比德米：起多早？

羅瑞：早上5點或6點起牀，對我來說完全沒問題。

Abidemi: Wow.

阿比德米：哇哦。

Rory: And I think it's because ever since I was young, I've always got up early. I used to do a paper round when I was a kid.

阿比德米：不太擅長。我喜歡睡懶覺。尤其是冬天，我完全不能早起。我的身體想睡一整天。夏天時，因爲太陽出來了，所以我可以早起。
