地道美语听力练习:学跳舞

Arthur:You know that you've taken on an impossible task, right?

Martha:Teaching you to dance?

I'm sure you're selling yourself short.

Arthur:No, really, I have two left feet.

I'm completely uncoordinated and have no sense of rhythm. I'm just not cut out for dancing.

Martha:Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

We'll just start by loosening up and swaying to the music.

You don't even need to swing your hips yet.

Arthur:That's good, because I don't think I can learn even the simplest dance steps.

Martha:Not only will I teach you some useful dance steps, we'll put together a dance routine down the line.

Arthur:That seems like a pipe dream to me.

Martha:Nonsense. Before long, dancing to you will be as effortless as breathing.

Arthur:But until then, I'll look and feel like a dancing hippo!
