讲解
Today's key word is Burlesque.

Burlesque b-u-r-l-e-s-q-u-e
滑稽模仿


A burlesque is a performance or a piece of writing that makes fun of something by copying it in an exaggerated(夸张的) way.

Here is an example:

Dorothy Williams proves that you are never too old to follow your dreams with her burlesque act.

威廉姆·桃乐西用她的滑稽表演证明追求梦想永远不晚!

So who is Dorothy Williams?

She is a 90-year-old lady from Hawaii in the United States.
She just performed in a show called “America's Got Talent” 美国达人秀。

这个90岁的美国老太太,穿了一身红色蕾丝透视裙参加了美国达人秀。

She performed a dance, similar to strip dance, which is sexy and normally performed by young girls.
当然老奶奶的表演不能算是所谓的脱衣舞,只是对脱衣舞的滑稽模仿。

但老奶奶一开始表演,底下的观众和毒舌评委全都惊了!

Here is what she said:
“When I get on that stage, I want to prove that you are never too old to follow your dreams.”

现场的气氛很是热烈,大家都被老奶奶的热情和勇气打动。

有评价说:
Respect to you, grandma. A lot of people will never be as energetic as you are at the age of 90.

No walker, no cane and she's dancing.

I see that some 50 year old people can't do what she just did.?但也有很多人表示,这是什么鬼!?

BG said on youtube that: America's got problems, definitely!

So what's your opinion?

看一个90岁的老奶奶到选秀舞台上去跳脱衣舞的滑稽模仿,你会支持她吗?
还是觉不太合适?
