Leo: Right, right. Also in Japan as well.
里奥：没错，的确是这样。当然日本也是这样。
Todd: Oh, really! OK. But, uh, people from New Zealand are called Kiwis not because of the fruit I take it.
托德：哦，真的吗！但是，新西兰人所称的Kiwis并不是我认为的那种水果。
Leo: That’s right. That’s right. The nickname for New Zealanders is Kiwi, and actually the Kiwi bird… Kiwi is actually a Maori name, and Maori are the native people of New Zealand.
里奥：没错，没错。新西兰的代名词就是几维鸟……几维是毛利语，毛利是新西兰的原住民。
Todd: Oh, wow!
托德：哦，哇！
Leo: And so Kiwi, the pronunciation of Kiwi K-I-W-I KEE-WEE, Maori has similar pronunciation to the Japanese language, ah, ee, uu, eh, oh. They pronounce the vowels.
里奥：所以几维鸟，发音是K-I-W-I KEE-WEE，毛利语的发音和日语的发音很相似，ah, ee, uu, eh, oh。他们的元音也是这种发音。
Todd: OK. I’m..what is Kiwi?
托德：嗯。那几维鸟是什么呢？
Leo: A kiwi is a nocturnal bird, which only walks, it doesn’t fly.
里奥：几维鸟是一种在夜间活动的鸟，它们只能走路，不会飞。
Todd: OK. So nocturnal means it only comes out at night.
托德：好。那在夜间活动的意思就是它们只在夜晚出来活动吗。
Leo: Right. Right. And in the deep forest.
里奥：对，对。而且是在森林深处活动。
