第2课：笨拙 - 10
【迷你小对话1】
A: I am as awkward as a cow on skates.
B: I know. These formal dinners just aren’t my speed.
A: I agree. Let’s not come to one of these events again.
A: 我笨得像一头穿着溜冰鞋的牛。
B: 我知道。我不喜欢这样正儿八经的晚餐。
A: 我也不喜欢。咱们以后再也别到这种场合了。
【迷你小对话2】
A: When I first went to China, I was so ham-fisted that I couldn’t even handle chopsticks.
B: You still are. Look, you’re pounding on the nuts, but they’re bouncing all over the floor.
A: 刚到中国的时候，我笨手笨脚的，连筷子都不会用。
B: 现在你也不灵巧啊。瞧，砸个坚果弄得满地都是。
