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” 是這集 “地道英語” 節目里要介紹的表達?！癉ad dancing” 描述了一種笨拙、過時、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，這些可都是經典的 “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
這里是 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。這次我們教給大家的表達是 “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.
