　　Neil

　　Great party last night, Feifei!

　　Feifei

　　It was so much fun, Neil. I loved your dad dancing too!

　　Neil

　　You… saw my dad… dancing? But my dad wasn’t dancing. He wasn’t even there.

　　Feifei

　　No, no, no. You know what I mean: ‘dad dancing’. It means dancing… well, like a dad.

　　Neil

　　I’m not sure where you’re going with this?

　　Feifei

　　“Dad dancing” 是这集 “地道英语” 节目里要介绍的表达。“Dad dancing” 描述了一种笨拙、过时、太做作的舞姿。

　　Neil

　　What are you saying? I can moonwalk. I can spin on the spot. I can swing my arms in the air. I’ve got all the moves!

　　Feifei

　　哈，这些可都是经典的 “dad dancing” 舞步！Don’t worry – it looked like you were really enjoying yourself.

　　Neil

　　It’s OK, I get it. Some of my moves are a bit old-fashioned. But sometimes it just feels good to let go!

　　Feifei

　　I think your kids were a little bit embarrassed.

　　Neil

　　Really? They’re just jealous.

　　Feifei

　　Haha, maybe! OK, let’s hear some examples.

　　Examples

　　Wow, look at Ernesto. Is he swinging a cat? What a dad dancer!

　　Katka's dad was hilarious at the wedding. Everyone had stopped dancing, but he was still up there dad dancing, showing off all his moves.

　　I used to think Dad’s dad dancing was funny. But after he injured his ankle really badly last time, I think it’s time he slowed down.

　　Feifei

　　这里是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。这次我们教给大家的表达是 “dad dancing”。Neil?

　　Neil

　　Yeah… Uh-huh… OK, so next Wednesday? Yeah, OK. I’ll see you!

　　Feifei

　　Who were you calling?

　　Neil

　　I’ve just booked some dance lessons. You’ve helped me realise I need to improve my skills.

　　Feifei

　　I was only teasing, Neil.

　　Neil

　　It’s OK. If I’m dancing, I want to be the best dancer on the floor. And if I’m dad dancing, well, I want to be finest dad dancer you’ve ever seen!

　　Feifei

　　Best of luck. Bye!

　　Neil

　　Bye.
