What does the woman mean? [br] [originaltext]M: I’m still waiting for the clerk

M: I’m still waiting for the clerk to come back and make some copies of this paper for me.
W: Why trouble him? I’ll show you how easy it is to work with the machine.

M: Is it true that you don’t do gymnastics at all now?
W: I’m afraid so. I’m too old.
M: But you are only twenty-two!
W: That’s too old for a gymnast. If I played in an international championship now, I couldn’t win. So I’d rather not do it at all.
