Todd: So, Katia and Fred, we're talking about your dance school, and before we were talking about the belly dance, and Katia you do the belly dance, but you also do Salsa.
托德：卡蒂亚，弗雷德，我们来聊聊你们的舞蹈学校，之前我们谈过了肚皮舞，卡蒂亚既教肚皮舞也教萨尔萨舞。
Fred: That's right, Todd.
弗雷德：没错，托德。
Todd: And that takes two?
托德：萨尔萨舞是两个人跳的舞？
Fred: That takes two. It takes two to salsa.
弗雷德：对，是两个人配合的舞蹈。
Todd: It takes two to salsa. So you are part of the salsa team?
托德：萨尔萨舞需要两个人配合。所以你们在跳萨尔萨舞时是个团队吗？
Fred: Yes. If we could call it a team, I mean,
弗雷德：对，如果可以称为团队的话。
Katia: Yes.
卡蒂亚：对。
Fred: It's mostly Katia teaching me how to dance and then I try to pass it onto the others.
弗雷德：基本上是卡蒂亚先教会我怎么跳，然后我再教给其他人。
Katia: That's not true. Fred... Fred is a very good teacher, I think he's just very humble but where I think we make a very good team: We're both patient and we know what a student is struggling and that's the important part.
卡蒂亚：不是这样的。弗雷德是非常优秀的舞蹈老师，他太谦虚了，我认为我们这个团队非常好：我们两人都很耐心，而且我们知道学生的困难，这是最重要的部分。
Fred: And it's also good to have partners like this to teach other people, whether they're partners or not, or they just want to learn salsa, like the men would come to me to learn about a special move and then the women would have a tendency of going more towards Katia so we're making... striking a perfect balance in teaching, I think.
弗雷德：而且在教学生的时候有这样一个搭档非常好，无论学生是不是有舞伴，如果他们想学习萨尔萨舞，男生会找我来学动作，而女生则会去找卡蒂亚学习，所以我想我们在教学上达到了一种完美的平衡。
Todd: Now, do you get a fair balance of students, of male to female students, for salsa class?
托德：那你们萨尔萨舞课程的男女学生比例平衡吗？
Katia: Right now, we have more women than men so hopefully we'll have a balance in there, but yeah.
卡蒂亚：目前女生比男生多，我们希望能做到平衡。
Fred: I guess women are more open towards taking dance lessons than men are. Maybe men feel a bit scared. I don't know. How do you feel, Todd? Would you come to the school?
弗雷德：我认为在上舞蹈课这个方面，女性比男性更容易接受。可能男性会有害怕的感觉。我也不知道原因。托德，你是什么感觉？你会来舞蹈学校上课吗？
Todd: Well, you know what, I will. I will come, but I have to admit my feeling would be that I would be intimidated. That I would look really foolish, so yeah. I think most guys would probably feel the same way.
托德：嗯，你知道，我会去的。我会去上课的，不过我也必须承认，我有些胆怯。我看上去可能会有些傻。我想大多数男性都会有这种感觉。
Fred: Yeah, that's why we have more girls I think.
弗雷德：对，这就是我们的女学生人数更多的原因。
Katia: Unfortunately, but the truth is from what I've heard from the guys, from the men, they do want to learn how to dance.
卡蒂亚：这真不幸，不过据我对男性的了解，他们想来学习跳舞。
Todd: Yeah, it does sound fun. It does.
托德：对，听上去很有趣。
Katia: And women also like it. Women like for the men to dance, and especially in Salsa, usually it's the man is the leader,so it's very important that the man is who leads.
卡蒂亚：女性也喜欢。女性也喜欢男性跳舞，尤其是萨尔萨这种舞蹈，男性是主导者，所以重要的是要由男性来主导舞蹈。
Todd: That sounds like more pressure.
托德：听起来让人更有压力了。
Katia: No, no, no. Well, you learn how to be a good leader and how to lead, and the woman how to follow.
卡蒂亚：不，不是，不是这样。你会学习如何主导舞蹈，如何带头，而女性则要配合男性。
Todd: So, let's say somebody goes to your school, like myself and they have two left feet. They cannot dance. How long does it take to where you can do a salsa reasonably well?
托德：如果有人去你们的舞蹈学校，比如像我这种笨种笨脚的人。我们不会跳舞。那要把萨尔萨舞跳好需要多长时间？
Katia: We... right from the beginning, at least we can a little bit, where the person is and does it, can they hear the music or not. From the first class, you dance with a partner. Of course not freely. We can tell you what steps to take. And we advance accordingly, so it might take in one step, it might take a long time, so it depends on people that are in the class, and it all depends on the person.
卡蒂亚：刚开始时，我们会先了解这个人的水平，看是否能配合音乐。第一节课会和舞伴一起跳。当然不是随便跳。我们会教你舞步。然后循序渐进，所以可能很快就可以跳好，也可能需要很长时间，这取决于学习舞蹈那个人本身的情况。
Todd: Right. So some people learn faster than others.
托德：好。有些人学的比其他人快。
Katia: Yes.
卡蒂亚：对。
Fred: But definitely after one class, you will have learned a minimum two steps.
弗雷德：不过上完一节课以后，你最少能学会两种舞步。
Todd: OK. Really.
托德：好，真的吗？
Fred: Yeah.
弗雷德：对。
Todd: OK.
托德：好。
Fred: Guaranteed.
弗雷德：我保证。
Todd: I'm sold. I'll definitely come and try it out.
托德：我相信。我一定会去上课的，我想试试。
Fred: Please do.
弗雷德：请一定要来。
Katia: Please do.
卡蒂亚：请来吧。
