第2课：笨拙 - 6
【迷你小对话1】
A: Usually I couldn’t care less if someone can’t dance, but the lady I’m dancing with keeps stepping on my feet.
B: Your partner may be a floundering dancer, but my partner is so ungainly. She makes an elephant look like a ballerina.
A: 我一般不在乎别人不会跳舞，但是跟我跳舞的那位女士不停地踩我的脚。
B: 你的舞伴可能还只是步点不稳，可是我的舞伴简直就奔得不像样。跟她比大象简直就是芭蕾舞演员。
【迷你小对话2】
A: You seem to be working very slowly today. What is wrong? Bad time at home?
B: Well, my youngest son is feeling ill, and kept me up half the night. That’s why my work is a bit heavy-handed and clumsy this morning.
A: 你今天好好像工作效率很低。怎么了，家里又什么烦心事？
B: 嗯，我的小儿子生病了，昨晚忙乎了半夜，所以今天早上是有些笨手笨脚的。
