Brothers Hermanos Irmãos

Mari: Hi, Ron. I met your brother Michael and I learned that you’re a triplet. Ich habe deinen Bruder Michael getroffen und erfahren, dass du ein Drilling bist. So what is it like being a triplet? Ron: Yes, I am a triplet. It’s a good thing. I’m very close with my brothers, both of them. One of my brother’s name is Michael and the other’s name is Patrick and all three of us are equally close with each other. Mari: That’s good. Did you guys play the same sports growing up? Praticaram os mesmos desportos enquanto cresciam? Ron: We all played the same sports growing up, however as we got older we started concentrating on our own sports, so me and Patrick played football - American football - and Michael started focusing more on soccer, but from the beginning, we all played the same sports together. Ron: Todos nós praticámos os mesmos desportos enquanto crescíamos, mas à medida que fomos crescendo começámos a concentrar-nos nos nossos próprios desportos, por isso eu e o Patrick jogámos futebol - futebol americano - e o Michael começou a concentrar-se mais no futebol, mas desde o início praticámos todos os mesmos desportos juntos. Mari: Do you guys dress the same? Ron: We are very similar in how we think so we do wear each other’s clothes and so we do dress alike. Mari: Have you ever walked out wearing similar shirts or the same outfit? Mari: Alguma vez saíram de casa com camisas semelhantes ou com a mesma roupa? Ron: Yes, we have and for the most part we try to wear the same colors if we’re together going out . Mari: Did you get in trouble growing up all of you? Mari: Habt ihr als Kinder alle Ärger bekommen? Mari: Tiveram problemas enquanto cresciam, todos vocês? Ron: I think for the most part we were good kids growing up and the good thing about being very close to your brothers is that you never wanted to dissapoint your brothers or make them think bad of you, so you always tried to be a good kid. Ron: Ich glaube, wir waren größtenteils gute Kinder, als wir aufwuchsen, und das Gute daran, wenn man seinen Brüdern sehr nahe steht, ist, dass man seine Brüder nie enttäuschen oder sie dazu bringen wollte, schlecht von einem zu denken, also hat man immer versucht, ein gutes Kind zu sein. Mari: What’s cool about being a triplet? Mari: O que é que é fixe em ser trigémeo? Ron: I would say the coolest thing about being a triplet is just having people that are very close to you all the time. We never really had trouble making friends or when I to a new school, I always had a friend with me because my brothers were always with me. It was never ... I was never alone. Mari: That’s pretty cool. Was there anything not cool about being a triplet? Ron: Well, growing up the attention is not so cool sometimes. Ron: Nun, wenn man aufwächst, ist die Aufmerksamkeit manchmal nicht so toll. It gets kinds of old and the questions about being a triplet gets kind of old, but for the most part it’s good. Es wird irgendwie alt, und die Fragen darüber, dass man ein Drilling ist, werden irgendwie alt, aber im Großen und Ganzen ist es gut.
