A while later, Wen and Nikki are dancing
DJ:Everybody say ho! Everybody say ho-ho! Now scream! [Wen and Nikki scream]
Nikki:Wow! You sure have changed from the shy wallflower!
Wen:It's so fun here! Nobody laughs at my dancing. I really feel welcome! And Malik is so cool. I think he likes me. But, I don't know...I've never dated a black guy.
Nikki:We always say, “Once you go black, you never go back!”
Wen:Ha-ha! Well, I'll never go back to the same old Wen. But I am going back to dance with Malik. See ya! [to be continued]
Once you go black you never go back!
(黑人俗諺)一旦你開始了解黑人,你就再也不想過從前的生活。表示黑人的文化是非常吸引人的。但這句話不只是指文化,由于有些人認(rèn)為黑人的床上功夫了得,所以他們也會用這句話來表示「一旦你和黑人發(fā)生過關(guān)系,你就不會想再回去過從前的日子。」
Honey, once you go black, you never go back!
親愛的,一旦你了解黑人,你就會愛上黑人了!
wallflower (n.)
壁花。指舞會中沒有人邀舞,而枯坐一旁的人(尤指女生)
A: Don't be such a wallflower—get up and dance with me.
別當(dāng)壁花——起來跟我一起跳舞。
B: Give me five minutes to rest. I'll be right there.
讓我休息五分鐘。我馬上來。
See ya!
= See you! 再見
I'm going home. See ya!
我要回家了。再見!
過了一會,小雯和妮琪在跳舞
DJ:大家一起說ho!大家一起說ho ho!現(xiàn)在尖叫吧!(小雯和妮琪尖叫)
妮琪:哇!你從害羞的壁花小姐變成另一個人了!
小雯:這里好有趣!沒有人笑我的舞姿。我覺得很自在!而且莫力好酷喔。我覺得他喜歡我呢。但是,我不知道……我從來沒和黑人交往過。
妮琪:我們總是說,「一旦你開始過黑人生活,你就回不了過去!」
小雯:哈哈!我變不回從前那個小雯了。但我會回去和莫力跳舞。待會見!(下期待續(xù))
