士丹利英语口语第 71 课: That looks hard! 那看起来好难

Tyrel: I got the skills. Here, I'll go easy on you. [step, hit, clap, hit, step,
hit...] 我可是很行的。来吧，我只教你一点简单的。（踏步、搥、拍手、搥、踏步、搥……）

Wen: Whoa! That looks hard! 哇！那看起来好难！

Tyrel: Naw. It's easy. Watch: Step right, hit your right leg, clap, hit your chest, step left, hit your left leg. Then change sides and repeat. [repeats] You try. 不会。很简单。看着：往右踏、搥右腿、拍手、搥胸、往左踏、搥左腿。然后换边，再重复。（重复）你试试。

Wen: OK, but no laughing, Nikki! [slowly] Step right, hit your leg, clap... 好吧，但是不可以笑，妮琪！（慢慢地）往右踏、搥腿、拍手……

Tyrel: There ya go! Just keep repeating. 就是这样！就一直重复。

Wen: [Going faster] I think I got it! Step, hit, clap, hit...[hits her face] Ouch! （动作变快）我想我抓到诀窍了！踏步、搥、拍手、搥……（打到她的脸）哎唷！

Tyrel: Whoa, girlfriend. Scared o’ you! Is your face aight? 哇，小姐。真服了你！你的脸还好吧？

Wen: [Rubbing her jaw][Nikki is giggling] Ow! I said no laughing, Nikki! （揉下巴）（妮琪咯咯地笑）噢！我说过不准笑的，妮琪！

Tyrel: You hit yourself pretty hard. 你搥自己还真是用力。

Wen: I'm fine. It's mostly my pride that's hurt. But thanks for the lesson, Tyrel. I think we have to go to the film festival soon. [starts to leave] 我很好。只有我的自尊心受伤了。不过，还是谢谢你帮我上了一课，特瑞。我想我们差不多要去影展了。（准备离开）

Tyrel: It's all good. Just keep practicing! There's a special event tonight that you might dig. See y'all later! 没问题。要继续练习！今晚有个特别活动，也许你会喜欢。待会儿见。

Wen: [Waving] OK. See you guys tonight. Bye, Tyrel! （挥手）好。今晚见。拜拜，特瑞！

Wen: So what's the film festival like? 影展会是什么情况？

Nikki: They'll have great stuff. The blaxploitation spoof, Hollywood Shuffle; some classics like Do The Right Thing and The Color Purple... 会有一些很赞的玩意。有讽刺黑人商业片的电影《好莱坞骗局》；还有一些经典片如《为所应为》和《紫色姐妹花》……

Wen: I've seen that one. Didn't Whoopi Goldberg get an Academy Award nomination for that? 我有看过那部。琥碧戈珀不是因那片得到奥斯卡奖提名吗？

Nikki: Yeah. Oprah did, too. Did you know Oprah has a production company named Harpo? 对啊，欧普拉也是。你知道欧普拉有个叫‘哈泼’的制片公司吗？

Wen: No, I didn't. Oprah has her own production company? 不，我不知道。欧普拉有她自己的制片公司啊？

Nikki: Oh, hell yeah! 噢，当然啰！
