July 28, 2009, 01:59 PM posted in General Discussion我当然不可能跳舞， 可是最近我们看着一个节目叫‘So you think you can dance'.
因为中国的学期完了所以我女儿住在悉尼几天。 现在她跟她的朋友玩儿，他们在城市中心摇摆舞着.
摇摆舞 - swing dance
迪斯科舞 disco
民间舞蹈 folk dance
How do you translate 'So You Think You Can Dance?'
Anyone know how to say Morris dancing?

我也试试看, it's a program name, so I'll put it this way. "So you think you can dance!" 跳舞，你能！But I googled, the program is simply called 美版舞林大会，(that's American version dancing competition) :(
其实跳舞，有没有专业的舞姿和舞者的身材并不重要，我曾见过一个很胖的女孩子跳芭蕾，她没有漂亮的脸蛋和芭蕾舞演员的身材，但是她在跳舞时的眼神很自信，也很坚定。姿态也做到最标准，她每次跳舞都会赢得很热烈的掌声。

Mate, modesty doesn't suit you! As soon as I see your avatar I reach for my Oxford Concise and learn words I never knew existed. I look at your sentence construction and say 'wow, can you really say that?' Promise I'm not having a lend, I look forward to your take on all kinds of matters.
I love your analysis of what is really a pretty crappy show.

hehe, not too sure about the limelight translation, i remember reading it somewhere but i've lost it.
yeah mate, 6 billion opinions in the world and counting, mine are just part of the many in the great sheep dip of diatribes ;-)
i've been trying to be more tactful and concilliatory and have sacrificed a few branches off of my hybrid olive tree in the process.

我试试一下吧！
那么，难道你会跳舞呢！
那么，你觉得你会跳舞吗？
这两个句子当然上下文不同。上面的句子不必回答，带来的意思蛮有讽刺感， 跳舞者表现得很难看。下面的句子，问的是指着怀疑某人自觉会跳舞，可是不会的或者已经只会一点点了而跳舞的不标准、表现的不怎么好看，没有跳舞者自以为会跳舞得那么好。
不好意思，我可能说明的不清楚，这几个月我的中文又退步了。
