Kevin Davies: 我从小时候起就喜欢动手修理东西，因为家里经济条件不好，很多东西都需要自己动手解决。我会把旧的自行车零件拼凑起来，做成一辆能骑的自行车。这种动手能力逐渐延伸到汽车和摩托车上。我喜欢修复东西，因为修复完成后的成就感非常大。即使别人觉得是垃圾，我也能看到其中的潜力，并将其变成有价值的东西。虽然我经常在修理过程中受伤，但我仍然乐此不疲。我喜欢改装汽车，因为每一辆车都是独一无二的，即使是同一款车，也会有不同的地方。改装汽车的过程就像学习一门新的语言，需要投入时间和精力，但最终能够获得巨大的满足感。我推荐大家尝试修理老款风冷大众汽车，因为它们结构简单，零件便宜，容易修理，而且有很多改装方式。只要敢于尝试，就能从中获得乐趣和成就感。 Kevin Davies: 我认为修理汽车和学习英语之间存在着联系，那就是学习新事物。即使你修理的是同一种汽车，每辆车也都是不同的。重要的是投入时间和精力，并从中获得满足感，就像学习英语一样，当你能够用英语与不同语言的人交流时，你会感到非常棒。我一直希望自己能够学习一门外语，这也在我的计划之中。我建议那些想要学习修理东西的人直接开始动手，因为反正东西已经坏了，你也没有什么可失去的。现在网上有很多资源可以帮助你，所以任何人都可以学习修理东西。不要害怕失败，从错误中学习。我曾经在路边用砂轮和火柴盒修好了一辆大众汽车，这让我感到非常自豪。
