【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 is out. It’s a 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 two hands to pluck the ball out of the air.

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

        我热爱躲避球，说得没错，本人喜欢很多运动。但只有在打躲避球时，我才彰显作为。美式足球我玩得倒不赖，不过算不上得分能手，篮球同样如此。

        今天在躲避球夏令营中，不管我呆在哪个队，那支球队都有99%的可能性获胜，为啥﹖其实并非因为我速度快或叫对手面部挂彩(局部)，而是因为我接球的水平高，显得出类拔萃。打常规躲避球的时候，球被接住意味着扔球的人出局，接球一方场外球员上场，双赢(对接到球的队来说)。只要抓住球，我会立刻传给队友﹔多数情况下，我是所在球队里幸存的最后一名球手，而且往往从空中断球。

        或许我爱好不少运动，但更擅长躲避球，因为本人有实力不拖全队的后腿。不幸的是，躲避球实属冷门运动，无人以此为生。
