罗瑞：嗨KLoTi.D92qxpecbc。
Abidemi: Hi. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
阿比德米：嗨JfpcInW,FnAH.XTvc。你性格内向还是外向？
Rory: I'm not sure, you know. Sometimes I think that I'm basically an introvert. Like as I get older, I much prefer my own company.
罗瑞：我不太确定g06M7pfA(9xx1&Rk62V。有时我认为自己是内向的人.ffhi_j]dE=C。随着年龄的增长，我更喜欢独处O5S;L3^Fc^EC=。
Abidemi: Interesting.
阿比德米：有意思rjgj[w*364%9RSDz|。
Rory: I don't really like going to parties that much if there's going to be new people there. If it's my friends, I'm happy to go out, but I don't know. What about you?
罗瑞：我不太喜欢参加有陌生人在的聚会b3#StE&VpY。如果是我朋友，那我很高兴和他们出去玩5WYD=G1|ma!)29kiP。你呢？
Abidemi: It's funny what you said. I feel the same way. I think sometimes I'm an introvert and other times I can be an extrovert. But maybe in reverse to what you said. I feel like the older I get, the more extroverted I become.
阿比德米：你的回答很有趣mNM&Tc,Bynmr。我和你一样ddb2k!IJ7_E。我认为有时我很内向，但是有时我又很外向iTy1-x*nh*Vt]。不过我的情况可能和你相反|ZFBZSrbG+YUO6-BT。随着年龄的增长，我变得越来越外向h,gq8p#xe-B8knlQt。
Rory: That's interesting.
罗瑞：有意思)QFfy.L4[ul.U7ClP(5。
Abidemi: While I was younger, I was a lot shier, so I preferred my own company. But now I find that sometimes too, I really enjoy people. So I like to meet new ones. So yeah.
阿比德米：我年轻时非常害羞，喜欢独处@@uARHzy.skQ#.4。可是现在，我发现我很喜欢和他人相处T++Ql,%G&[emW]。我喜欢认识新朋友3#ThsL3WE0q0。
Rory: Yes. In the classroom, as a teacher, I'm quite an extrovert I think. I quite like being up in front of students and showing off, but I would never do that in front of other teachers or my friends, in my personal life.
罗瑞：嗯xut;AKBPA4t。我认为，作为老师，我在课堂上很外向TO1eht,-0GT2qJy(&eyn。我喜欢在学生们面前展示我的能力，不过在私下，我绝对不会在其他老师和朋友面前这样做3[Ta=wP+uY.7=g。
Abidemi: Interesting.
阿比德米：有意思T)%9n_im!Y)ZRPbq。
Rory: But something about the classroom maybe because it's my environment and I'm in control that I feel more comfortable, like being more extroverted and showing off, camping up.
罗瑞：可能因为教室是我熟悉的环境，而且在我的掌控之下，让我感觉更舒适，所以我变得更外向，会更放松地展示自己]8AyhFP-z@z。
Abidemi: I think it would be a little difficult to be introverted if you were a language teacher. I think it certainly helps to be extroverted or to act to be able to become more extroverted when you're in the classroom for sure. For sure.
阿比德米：我认为就语言老师来说，如果内向的话很难做WGtATgraK]oK。外向的人肯定更适合，因为在课堂上可以更放得开yrsO%-(JC2oU52Isv(y。
Rory: Yeah. And have you ever done anything really extroverted, like performed in public?
罗瑞：对k,OUQs@yiWb=ES,fEgO。你有没有做过特别外向型的事情，比如在公共场合表演之类的？
Abidemi: Before I used to sing actually, and I have sang in concerts.
阿比德米：我以前在音乐会上唱过歌I52((PK]A@DN。
Rory: Right.
罗瑞：好g8CU~RFnFVHD。
Abidemi: And it's true. I think that's where my introverted self really comes out because although I enjoy singing and I like the attention to a certain extent, but I get really nervous. Really, really nervous when I'm in front of a large crowd. And sometimes I'm like, "Why am I doing this to myself? Why am I here?"
阿比德米：这是真的]L~Ne)[batmROF+Ps。我认为那时我内向的那一面完全显现出来了，虽然我很喜欢唱歌，而且喜欢一定程度的关注，但是我非常紧张~hJl_7v5W0k]。我站在很多人面前的时候真的非常紧张vWcY58,7Zz,eX5o!Xn6。有时我会想：“我为什么要这样对自己？我为什么在这里？”
Rory: Yeah.
罗瑞：嗯NA-+Z;yOsL;axsB7*W。
Abidemi: But yeah, I don't do that so much anymore.
阿比德米：我不会再这样做了Zl3S|[7,2p*[Tw22s0。
Rory: Right. And do you think people can change? Do you think people – because people seem to want to become more extroverted? It seems to be like society says extroverted people are successful people.
罗瑞：好bVBhq#F,d;UdbJ|q。你认为人会改变吗？你认为人们会想更外向一些吗？从社会情况来看，似乎外向的人更容易成功KHO.UF(vx1mX[w]。
Abidemi: It's true.
阿比德米：没错b5Hfxm8a9UuMd5|%CHx。
Rory: Do you think people can change or do you think people should try to change?
罗瑞：你认为人会改变吗？或者说你认为人们应该尝试改变吗？
Abidemi: I've heard of actually people saying that depending on the language that people change with the language. I've heard of some of my students saying that when they speak in a different language, their personality actually changes, where maybe in their own language, they may be quieter. But when they speak the different language, they become a lot more extroverted.
阿比德米：我听说这取决于语言，人们会随着他们所说的语言改变&vyFBh3]gZKFVg。我听一些学生说，他们在说其他语言时个性会发生改变，而他们在说母语时会更安静一些BKfwsZt1npP)=Ta|。他们在说其他语言时会更外向一些L[-p%m*34jY,OsvT)T;。
Rory: Right.
罗瑞：好RRI7YVqEW;K%4)654%0n。
Abidemi: It's as if they change. So whether or not it's a real change I think you can "fake it" quote-unquote even if you're not an extrovert or an introvert. Maybe for a few hours or for the occasion. Yeah, you can pretend, and then go back.
阿比德米：就好像他们改变了一样^~DWrH4;48t。我认为，无论那是不是真正的改变，你都可以“假装”一下，即使你不是外向的人或者你不是内向的人[kBhf@fQ0ok。也许可以在几个小时的时间或者根据场合假装一下9~0f(|FwtonpAF。你可以假装性格改变了，然后再回到以前的性格IFt-4@cKJ_6-53。
Rory: Right. I wonder if when we speak a different language, we don't have the same connections with the words.
罗瑞：好)#lm4)*ocG。我想知道，我们在说其他语言时，是不是和那些词汇的连接方式不同m]mqJpnfSsYF5hOM。
Abidemi: That's true.
阿比德米：没错Y8Ms2G-8KiQ(。
Rory: It makes it easier to maybe speak more honestly and not worry about what other people think of us.
罗瑞：也许更真诚地说话，不去担心其他人怎么看我们会更简单一些wp]],5V_;abu9。
Abidemi: That's true.
阿比德米：没错K*j(O%w6WU!L3G_D。
