Rory: How about you?

罗瑞：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：我并不太擅长。那是我在孩提时代从未练习过的事情，所以我并不擅长运动。不过其他人看我的样子，总会跟我说：“你看上去可以跑得很快。你看上去擅长各种运动。”我是可以跑步，不过我不经常跑步，我参与的运动也不多。

Rory: Okay. And are you good at math?

罗瑞：好。那你数学好吗？

罗瑞：我也一样。我的数学也很好。我上高中时非常喜欢数学，不过之后我没有在数学方面深造。现在我帮助我女儿做数学作业，我认为我非常擅长数学。

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

阿比德米：不太擅长。我喜欢睡懒觉。尤其是冬天，我完全不能早起。我的身体想睡一整天。夏天时，因为太阳出来了，所以我可以早起。
