Sally:But I love to dance. I can』t stop.

莎莉:但是我喜歡跳舞。我就是停不下來。

Daniel:It is distracting for everyone.

丹尼爾:妳這樣會讓大家分心。

Sally:I think it probably helps people, actually. It is inspiring.

Daniel:Well, there』s not enough room to swing a cat in here, and you are knocking things over.

丹尼爾:呃,可是這裡地方很小,而且一堆東西都被妳撞翻了。

Sally:No problem. I just do a spin, dip down, and pick them up.

莎莉:小事一樁,我轉個圈,蹲下身就把東西撿起來了。

Daniel:Sally, no more dancing.

丹尼爾:別再跳了,莎莉。

Sally:Daniel, watch me do a flip off of the desk!

莎莉:丹尼爾,看好,我要從書桌上空翻下來了!
