J: It seemed like they had been dancing forever so I asked. And Natasha's answer surprised me. Here's Natasha.

實(shí)錄2 Natasha: Together we've dancing since November of 2003. But separately of course we had different partners previously and danced separately, of course. But then we got together in November and decided to dance together.

Y: 其實(shí)他們兩在一塊兒的時(shí)間不是太長(zhǎng)。

J: Not long at all. Yang Chen, Some people just click. C-L-I-C-K, which means they instantly, have great chemistry together.

Y: 沒(méi)錯(cuò)，就好象我們兩一樣。一見(jiàn)如故。

J: 一見(jiàn)如故。

Y: Yeah.

J: We clicked.

Y: Natasha是從那個(gè)GJ來(lái)的，聽(tīng)她講話好象有點(diǎn)口音。

J: Natasha is from Russia but her accent is very slight. I think she's been in the States for many, many years.

Y: Jody, 我想學(xué)跳舞并不難，但是要達(dá)到參加比賽的水平可就不容易了。

J: Most definitely. And according to Sean, if you are going to compete in a dance competition, a good partnership is everything.

Y: 好，我們聽(tīng)聽(tīng) Sean 是怎么說(shuō)的：

實(shí)錄3 Sean: Oh, my gosh, partners ... A partnership is pretty much everything, because when...like right now we're probably slacking a little bit and we're practicing maybe three times a week, maybe six to nine hours a week. And to be really competitive, the top couples do it almost full-time, like 40 hours a week.

Y: 他和Natasha兩個(gè)人每星期要練習(xí)6到9個(gè)小時(shí)，而且他還說(shuō)練習(xí)這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間都不夠。

J: And now back to Natasha, that "special something" for her is the fact that Sean is such a good lead on the dance floor.

實(shí)錄4 Natasha: Sometimes there's just one person, two persons, it's very rarely you can find a person that you can have actually good connection with, very easily you can understand that person's lead.

Y: "Lead" 就是領(lǐng)舞的意思。

J: Right. In dancing, the man is the lead. So, let's hear from Sean.

實(shí)錄5 Sean: A lead isn't really telling the woman what to do but it's more suggesting "it would be nice if you did this now."

Y: 看來(lái)他們真的很有默契。 我相信他們會(huì)在比賽中取得好成績(jī)。

J: Oh, I bet they're going to do really well at their next competition. To help them win their competitions, Yang Chen, they work with a coach who gives them choreography, 舞蹈動(dòng)作的設(shè)計(jì)。

實(shí)錄6 Sean: When we compete we have choreography. So, we have these routines that our coach choreographs for us so that each step is kind of predetermined. But, there's still a lot of how we ... how my body moves, how her body moves and how are bodies together. And that's... it's not just choreography, but its how we are, I guess, physically connected.

Y: 看來(lái)跳舞真的不光是技巧問(wèn)題，兩個(gè)人配合默契更加重要。

J: Exactly. We're back to having great chemistry.

Y: 沒(méi)錯(cuò)! 你現(xiàn)在說(shuō)服我了，我也開(kāi)始喜歡交際舞了。

J: Listen to that music, Yang Chen. It's passionate, sexy! It's hot! Thanks for joining us on American Cafe.

Y: 謝謝大家收聽(tīng)美語(yǔ)咖啡屋。我們下次節(jié)目再見(jiàn)。
