| 13 | So, let's talk about talent. | 所以,让我们谈谈人才。 |
| 14 | I looked up the meaning of the word talent, and according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, | 我查了人才这个词的意义 根据梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特词典 |
| 15 | talent is defined as a special, often athletic, creative, or artistic aptitude. | 人才被定义为一种特殊的,往往是运动的,创造性的,或艺术的才能. |
| 16 | Though, the more I dove into various definitions of the word, the more I became aware of an ongoing debate. | 虽然,我越是跳进这个词的各种定义,我就越意识到正在进行的辩论。 |
| 17 | And that is, is talent something you're born with, or can it be developed? | 也就是说,天赋是你生来就有的,还是可以发展出来的? |
