【Aiden in English】

        I love dodgeball. I know that I love a lot of sports. But in dodgeball, I'm actually useful. In football, I'm good, but not a one-shot wonder. Neither am I in basketball.

        Today in my dodgeball camp, whichever team I was on, 99% of the time won. Why? It was not because I was fast or pegged people in the face (partially), but for my skills in catching the ball. That's what made me my team's best. In regular dodgeball, a catch means that one person comes back in while the person who throws it in out. It’s win-win. Whenever I got my hands on a ball, I handed it to one of my friends. Well, most of the time, I was the last one on my side of the court. So I had 2 hands to pluck the ball out of the air.

        I might have many favorite sports, but dodgeball is my thing because I'm not weight for my team. Unfortunately, there aren't any jobs that dodgeball can help you in.

【紅霞譯文】

        我熱愛躲避球，說得沒錯，本人喜歡很多運動。但只有在打躲避球時，我才彰顯作為。美式足球我玩得倒不賴，不過算不上得分能手，籃球同樣如此。

        今天在躲避球夏令營中，不管我呆在哪個隊，那支球隊都有99%的可能性獲勝，為啥﹖其實並非因為我速度快或叫對手面部掛彩(局部)，而是因為我接球的水平高，顯得出類拔萃。打常規躲避球的時候，球被接住意味着扔球的人出局，接球一方場外球員上場，雙贏(對接到球的隊來說)。只要抓住球，我會立刻傳給隊友﹔多數情況下，我是所在球隊裡倖存的最後一名球手，而且往往從空中斷球。

        或許我愛好不少運動，但更擅長躲避球，因為本人有實力不拖全隊的後腿。不幸的是，躲避球實屬冷門運動，無人以此為生。
