Todd: Who rips? What does "rips" mean?
Who rips? "rips"是什麼意思啊？
Roe: Ripping means if you are like a surfer, if you say he rips, he is really good.
Ripping的意思是比如說你是一個衝浪運動員，如果你說rips，就說明他很棒。

對，也就意味着他能做很多運動。
Todd: Great turns, great flips. OK, who rips?
好吧，大翻轉。誰還擅長呢？
Roe: Just go to the beach, and you see it. Like, you don't even have to talk, you just have to see it, and if you rip then you get respect, and if you talk, if you have a chance to talk to the guy, it's almost always that he is a nice guy.
你去海灘看看就知道了。你都不用說話，你就看。如果你擅長，你就會得到尊重，但如果你說話，如果你有機會和那些人搭訕，那就說明他是個很不錯的傢伙。
Todd: Really.
是嘛！
Roe: Well, 99 percent.
恩，百分之九十九。
Todd: So guys who rip are nice guys.
所以說那些同你搭訕的都是好人。
Roe: Nice guys. Like nice, meaning, it's nothing like talking to a salary man.
好人。就像nice，它一點兒都不像是在和一個俗氣的人聊天。
Todd: Wow, so very easy-going, very friendly, not serious.
哇，那就是非常的隨和，非常友善，一點兒都不嚴肅了。
Roe: Yes. Like open, no attitude, no attitude,it's like a way to elaborate.
是的。很開放，沒脾氣，就像是精心設計的。
Todd: OK, so do you rip?
好的，那你擅長嗎？
Roe: No. I'm in progress. I'm trying. It's hard. It's hard to rip though.
不，我還在進步中。我在努力嘗試着，變得足夠好是很難的。
Todd: But you said earlier that you are very good windsurfing so you are closest to ripping at windsurfing.
但你說這話還爲時過早，你現在是一個很不錯的衝浪運動員，所以你跟離擅長只剩一步之遙了。
Roe: Man, In my dreams, but in reality, I'm, no, I'm trying.
唉，那只是在夢裏，但在現實中，我不是，我還在嘗試。
Todd: Maybe you're being modest. So a modest person doesn't say he rips or he is good
大概你現在是在謙虛。自然一個謙虛的人是不會說他很擅長或優秀的。
Roe: You got the point, no I was just kidding, I can't rip.
你說點到上了，不過不是在開玩笑，我真的還不行。
Todd: OK, who is the best surfer in the world?
