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。

Yeah, I want to talk about one of my pet peeves. You know a pet peeve is something that you as a person don’t like. You personally don’t like a habit or a mannerism or something that other people do, um, for example a pet peeve could be people who don’t like wrinkled shirts or they don’t like it when people chew gum in public, or like the noise that some people make, or habits, mannerisms, for example my grandmother, my grandmother’s pet peeve was, you know, messy clothes or people who wore messy clothes. She didn’t like that, you know, if someone had a hole in their sock, she would sew it up immediately. She just hated it. It was her pet peeve, you know, if you didn’t wear nice, crisp, clean clothes, you know, you know some people’s pet peeve is, you know, when other people talk on the cell phone, ah, things like that. Yeah, my pet peeve is a little more complicated. It’s a little more unique I think than other people’s pet peeves, but it’s when Canadians wear, or embroider, canadian flags on their backpack.

我想谈谈我不能忍受的事情。你知道pet peeve是指人们不喜欢的事情。你个人不喜欢的习惯或是习性或是其他人做的一些事情，比如人们可能会讨厌起皱的衬衫，或者他们不喜欢其他人在公共场合咬口香糖，或者是不喜欢其他人发出的噪音，不喜欢他人的习惯、习性等等，以我的奶奶为例，她不喜欢衣衫凌乱，不喜欢别人穿凌乱的衣服。她不喜欢这些事情，如果有人的袜子破了个洞，她会马上把它缝好。她就是讨厌这种事情。她讨厌的就是人们没有穿整洁、洁净的衣服，而有的人会讨厌其他人讲电话。我讨厌的事情有点复杂。我觉得比其他人讨厌的东西奇怪，我不喜欢加拿大人背着绣有加拿大国旗的背包。
