美語咖啡屋 Lesson 20: Flamenco Dancer

Y: 各位聽眾好，我是楊晨。歡迎您到美語咖啡屋。

J: Hello, I'm Jody. Welcome to American Cafe.

Y: Jody， 你最近忙嗎？

J: Pretty busy.

Y: 你在忙什么呢？

J: You know, work, spending time with my friends, oh don't forget about the tap dance.

Y: 沒錯。最近我忽然覺得業(yè)余時間應該學點什么，你覺得我學跳舞怎么樣？

J: That's a great idea. What type of dance?

Y: Flamenco!

J: Flamenco!? Did you say Flamenco?!

Y: 沒錯。你干嗎那么吃驚，是不是覺得我學不會？

J: I'm sure you can learn Flamenco. But Flamenco, F-l-a-m-e-n-c-o. Flamenco comes from the Gypsies, you know.

(Flamenco music)

Y: 吉普賽舞蹈。太好了。

J: Yes, yes. And Flamenco is fiery! Like the Gypsies! And Flamenco, Yang Chen, is full of passion and excitement!

Y: 等一等，你冷靜一下，不要這么激動。 不過仔細想一想也許你說的對，我可能真的不適合跳這種舞。我看我還是放棄吧。

J: I have an idea. Listen to what my friend Marlene has to say about Flamenco. Marlene, take it away:

實錄1 Marlene: I'm Marlene English and this DC Dance Collective. And I am a Flamenco Dancer. I take classes here at DC Dance. Flamenco is probably different from mostly anything that you ever see. It is very, first, it's very fast. It's very loud. It's very fiery. The clothes alone are wonderful. There are a lot of ruffles and colors and it's very exciting.

Y: 熱情、浪漫、自由、奔放。我就向往這樣的生活！ 哎，這個Marlene學跳舞有多長時間了呢？

J: About six years now. And she began studying Flamenco as an adult. She started out in ballet as a child but was deeply drawn to Flamenco when she saw it perform at the age 14.

Y: 她為什么不在小時候就開始學呢？
