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: 我希望你还有其他的爱好.钓鱼太没意思了! 我想找点我们能一起做的事情. M: 这样吧, 亲爱的, 你会更爱我的! 我有个主意 ... ... 上个舞蹈班怎么样? W: 舞蹈班? 太好了! 可是你说过 "真正的男人不跳舞." M: 也许我改变主意了. 现在咱们决定一下上哪个舞蹈班. W: 有交际舞、迪斯科舞、踢踏舞、爵士舞... ...还有探戈。探戈听起来很有趣,是从阿根廷传过来的吗? M: 是的。我猜你会选这个课,所以我上网查了一下。 W: 你对我很了解嘛。我小时候学过芭蕾舞,可是过去几年一直就没有机会跳,因为我以为你不喜欢呢。 M: 你知道阿根廷的探戈受过一种叫什么探戈•哈巴涅拉舞的影响吗? W: 我从书上看到过,舞蹈中膝盖弯曲动作源于生活在阿根廷的非洲人。他们跳舞时弯曲膝盖以显示自己的舞技。 M: 你有点象个专家。 你也一直看这方面的书吗?
