Native English Help Needed! - 08-19-2008, 07:33 AM

I'm doing a Japanese-to-English translation for my Tokyo neighbor for his daughter's English speech in school (junior high). I am uncertain if a few of my translated sentences sound natural to the English-speaking ear. Please correct and/or give advice to make them better.

Thanks in advance!  よろしくお願い致します。


1. "But then, mornings aren't my cup of tea, either."

(Can you say something as intangible as 'mornings' are or aren't your cup of tea?)

2. "What is most amazing about Saki is that she eats and sleeps like a monster. There's nothing that she cannot eat. She will eat anything with pleasure. She has never been ill, either! She's Physical Health personified."
