Kevin: Yeah, The Amazing Met's. 1969. Todd: Wow, that's great. Did you play baseball yourself? Kevin: Yeah, I played baseball pretty much my whole life up through college and university. Todd: OK. Why did you stop? Kevin: Well, it wasn't exactly by choice. I wasn't drafted high enough in professional baseball to, in order for me to sign, so I ended up retiring from baseball and persuing other things. Todd: OK. Great. Do you like any others sports? Kevin: Yeah. I actually, I enjoy all competition. You know I enjoy the, the other typical American sports of basketball and American football and so on, but I also try to learn about and enjoy the, the national sport of the countries that I'm in. For example now I'm in Japan and I've actually gotten quite into Sumo wrestling. Todd: Oh, really. Kevin: Yeah! Todd: Nice. Have you ever seen a sumo match live? Kevin: Yes, I have.

Todd: OK. Todd: OK. Kevin, we’re back here in the forest. Kevin, estamos de regreso aquí en el bosque. 凱文,我們回到森林裡了。 Um, we’re gonna talk about sports. 嗯,我們要談談體育。 Kevin: OK. Great. I love sports. Todd: What sports do you like? Kevin: Well, my favorite sport is baseball, obviously I grew up and my father was a baseball player, so I was always around baseball. Kevin: Bueno, mi deporte favorito es el béisbol, obviamente crecí y mi padre era jugador de béisbol, así que siempre estuve cerca del béisbol. Kevin: En sevdiğim spor beyzbol, açıkçası ben büyüdüm ve babam bir beyzbol oyuncusuydu, bu yüzden her zaman beyzbolun etrafındaydım. Todd: Wow. Kevin: My whole life. Kevin: Toda mi vida. Todd: You mean your father was a player in the Major Leagues. Intende dire che suo padre era un giocatore della Major League. Kevin: Yeah, exactly, and not only was he a player in the Major Leagues, he was fortunate enough to play in the World Series twice with the New York Mets. Kevin: Sí, exactamente, y no solo fue un jugador de las Grandes Ligas, sino que tuvo la suerte de jugar dos veces en la Serie Mundial con los Mets de Nueva York. Kevin: Oui, exactement, et non seulement il était dans les ligues majeures, il a eu la chance de disputer deux fois la Série mondiale avec les Mets de New York. Kevin: Sì, esattamente, e non solo è stato un giocatore delle Major Leagues, ma ha avuto la fortuna di giocare due volte alle World Series con i New York Mets. Todd: Wow. Wow. That’s amazing. Eso es increíble. È incredibile. Kevin: Yeah, The Amazing Met’s. Kevin: Sí, The Amazing Met's. Kevin: Sì, The Amazing Met's. 1969. Todd: Wow, that’s great. Did you play baseball yourself? ¿Jugaste béisbol tú mismo? Lei stesso ha giocato a baseball? Siz de beyzbol oynadınız mı? Kevin: Yeah, I played baseball pretty much my whole life up through college and university. كيفن: نعم ، لقد لعبت البيسبول إلى حد كبير طوال حياتي من خلال الكلية والجامعة. Kevin: Sí, jugué béisbol casi toda mi vida hasta la universidad. Kevin: Sì, ho giocato a baseball praticamente per tutta la vita, fino al college e all'università. Kevin: Sim, joguei basebol praticamente toda a minha vida através da faculdade e da universidade. Todd: OK. Why did you stop? Kevin: Well, it wasn’t exactly by choice. Kevin: Nun, es war nicht gerade freiwillig. Kevin: Bueno, no fue exactamente por elección. Kevin: Beh, non è stato esattamente per scelta. Kevin: Tam olarak kendi seçimim değildi. I wasn’t drafted high enough in professional baseball to, in order for me to sign, so I ended up retiring from baseball and persuing other things. لم يتم تجنيدي بدرجة عالية بما يكفي في لعبة البيسبول الاحترافية ، حتى أتمكن من التوقيع ، لذلك انتهى بي المطاف بالتقاعد من لعبة البيسبول وإقناع أشياء أخرى. V profesionálním baseballu jsem nebyl draftován dostatečně vysoko, abych mohl podepsat smlouvu, takže jsem nakonec ukončil baseball a věnoval se jiným věcem. Ich wurde im Profi-Baseball nicht hoch genug gedraftet, um unterschreiben zu können, also habe ich mich vom Baseball zurückgezogen und mich anderen Dingen gewidmet. No fui reclutado lo suficientemente alto en el béisbol profesional para poder firmar, así que terminé retirándome del béisbol y persiguiendo otras cosas. Je n’étais pas assez haut qualifié dans le baseball professionnel pour pouvoir signer, j’ai donc fini par me retirer du baseball et persuader d’autres choses. Non sono stato scelto abbastanza in alto nel baseball professionistico per poter firmare, così ho finito per ritirarmi dal baseball e dedicarmi ad altre cose. Não fui recrutado suficientemente alto no basebol profissional para poder assinar, pelo que acabei por me reformar do basebol e dedicar-me a outras coisas. Profesyonel beyzbolda imza atmam için yeterince üst sıralarda seçilmedim, bu yüzden beyzboldan emekli oldum ve başka şeylere devam ettim. 我在職業棒球中的選秀順位不夠高,無法簽約,所以我最終從棒球退役並追求其他事情。 Todd: OK. Great. Do you like any others sports? Kevin: Yeah. Kevin: Jo. I actually, I enjoy all competition. Vlastně mě baví všechny soutěže. De hecho, disfruto de toda competencia. In realtà, mi piacciono tutte le competizioni. You know I enjoy the, the other typical American sports of basketball and American football and so on, but I also try to learn about and enjoy the, the national sport of the countries that I’m in. Víte, mám rád typické americké sporty, jako je basketbal, americký fotbal a tak dále, ale snažím se také poznat a užít si národní sporty zemí, ve kterých jsem. Sabes que disfruto los otros deportes americanos típicos del baloncesto y el fútbol americano, etc., pero también trato de aprender y disfrutar del deporte nacional de los países en los que estoy. Mi piacciono gli altri sport tipicamente americani, come il basket, il football americano e così via, ma cerco anche di conoscere e apprezzare lo sport nazionale dei Paesi in cui mi trovo. 私は、バスケットボールやアメリカンフットボールなど、他の典型的なアメリカンスポーツを楽しんでいることは知っていますが、自分が参加している国のナショナルスポーツについても学び、楽しんでいます。 Gosto dos desportos típicos americanos, como o basquetebol, o futebol americano, etc., mas também tento aprender e apreciar o desporto nacional dos países onde estou. 你知道我喜歡其他典型的美國運動,如籃球和美式足球等,但我也嘗試了解並享受我所在國家的民族運動。 For example now I’m in Japan and I’ve actually gotten quite into Sumo wrestling. Například teď jsem v Japonsku a docela jsem se začetl do zápasů sumo. Jetzt bin ich zum Beispiel in Japan und habe mich für das Sumo-Ringen begeistert. Por ejemplo, ahora estoy en Japón y me he metido bastante en la lucha de Sumo. Per esempio, ora sono in Giappone e mi sono appassionato alla lotta Sumo. Por exemplo, agora estou no Japão e estou a gostar bastante de luta de Sumo. Örneğin şu anda Japonya'dayım ve Sumo güreşine oldukça ilgi duymaya başladım. Todd: Oh, really. Todd: Oh, davvero. Kevin: Yeah! Todd: Nice. Have you ever seen a sumo match live? ¿Alguna vez has visto un partido de sumo en vivo? Avete mai visto un incontro di sumo dal vivo? Já alguma vez viste um jogo de sumo ao vivo? Kevin: Yes, I have. I’ve been to two sumo, uh, bashos as they call them, or matches in Tokyo. Ich war bei zwei Sumo, äh, Bashos, wie sie sie nennen, oder Kämpfen in Tokio. He estado en dos bashos de sumo, como los llaman, o partidos en Tokio. Sono stato a due incontri di sumo, bashos come li chiamano, a Tokyo. 私は2つの相撲に行ったことがあります。 Todd: Nice. Yeah, I wanna go, I wanna go myself Ja, ich will gehen, ich will selbst gehen Sí, quiero ir, quiero ir yo mismo Sì, voglio andare, voglio andare io stesso Kevin: Yeah! Let’s go sometime. Lass uns mal hingehen. Vamos alguna vez. Todd: OK. Let’s do it. Los geht's. Vamos a hacerlo.
