情景对话
(At a party)
Jennifer: What are those guys doing?
Billy: I don't know, but it looks like they've got ants in their pants.
Jennifer: They've all got two left feet, that's for sure.
Billy: I know! It's that dance machine from Japan, Dance Dance Revolution.
Jennifer: Japanese people need a machine to teach them how to dance?
Billy: I guess it's more fun than just playing video games all the time.
