I wish you could find another hobby. Fishing is so boring! I want to find something we can do together.
Well, honey, you are going to love me even more! I have an idea... what about dance classes?
Dance classes! How fabulous! But you said "real men don't dance".
Maybe I've changed my mind. Now, let's decide which dance class to take.
There's ballroom dancing, disco, tap, jazz ... and tango. Tango sounds interesting, isn't it from Argentina?
Yes, I guessed you'd choose that one so I did some research on the Internet.
You know me too well. I took ballet when I was little but have never had the chance to dance in the past few years, because I thought you didn't enjoy it.
Did you know that Argentine tango was influenced by something called Tango Habenera?
I read that the knee flexing of the dance originated from African people living in Argentina. They danced with their knees bent to show off their skill.
It seems you are a bit of an expert. Have you been reading about it too?
M: 男人 W: 女人
W: 我希望你還有其他的愛好.釣魚太沒意思了! 我想找點我們能一起做的事情.
M: 這樣吧, 親愛的, 你會更愛我的! 我有個主意 ... ... 上個舞蹈班怎么樣?
W: 舞蹈班? 太好了! 可是你說過 "真正的男人不跳舞."
M: 也許我改變主意了. 現(xiàn)在咱們決定一下上哪個舞蹈班.
W: 有交際舞、迪斯科舞、踢踏舞、爵士舞... ...還有探戈。探戈聽起來很有趣,是從阿根廷傳過來的嗎?
M: 是的。我猜你會選這個課,所以我上網(wǎng)查了一下。
W: 你對我很了解嘛。我小時候?qū)W過芭蕾舞,可是過去幾年一直就沒有機會跳,因為我以為你不喜歡呢。
M: 你知道阿根廷的探戈受過一種叫什么探戈?哈巴涅拉舞的影響嗎?
W: 我從書上看到過,舞蹈中膝蓋彎曲動作源于生活在阿根廷的非洲人。他們跳舞時彎曲膝蓋以顯示自己的舞技。
M: 你有點象個專家。 你也一直看這方面的書嗎?
