第2课:笨拙 - 8
【迷你小对话】
A: I am really klutzy on the dance floor. It’s like I have two left feet and no rhythm.
B: That’s a bogus excuse. You should take some dance lessons.
A: My dance abilities aren’t what they used to be. Lessons wouldn’t help.
B: You’re right. You look like a real clodhopper! You better just avoid dancing all together.
A: 我今天跳舞时可笨了,两只脚好像都是左脚一样,而且一点儿节奏感也没有。
B: 这可不是个好借口。你该去上上舞蹈课。
A: 我现在跳舞的水平可大不如以前了,上课也白搭。
B: 对呀,你跳起舞来就像个乡巴佬!你最好干脆别跳舞了。
