Today's key word is Burlesque 1.
Burlesque b-u-r-l-e-s-q-u-e
滑稽模仿
A burlesque is a performance or a piece of writing that makes fun of something by copying it in an exaggerated（夸张的） way.
Here is an example:
Dorothy Williams proves that you are never too old to follow your dreams with her burlesque act.
威廉姆·桃乐西用她的滑稽表演证明追求梦想永远不晚！
So who is Dorothy Williams?
She is a 90-year-old lady from Hawaii in the United States.
She just performed in a show called “America's Got Talent” 美国达人秀。
这个90岁的美国老太太，穿了一身红色蕾丝透视裙参加了美国达人秀。
She performed a dance, similar to strip dance, which is sexy and normally performed by young girls.
当然老奶奶的表演不能算是所谓的脱衣舞，只是对脱衣舞的滑稽模仿。
但老奶奶一开始表演，底下的观众和毒舌评委全都惊了！
Here is what she said:
“When I get on that stage, I want to prove that you are never too old to follow your dreams.”
现场的气氛很是热烈，大家都被老奶奶的热情和勇气打动。
有评价说：
Respect to you, grandma. A lot of people will never be as energetic as you are at the age of 90.
No walker, no cane 2 and she's dancing.
I see that some 50 year old people can't do what she just did.?但也有很多人表示，这是什么鬼！？
BG said on youtube that: America's got problems, definitely！
So what's your opinion?
看一个90岁的老奶奶到选秀舞台上去跳脱衣舞的滑稽模仿，你会支持她吗？
还是觉不太合适？
v.嘲弄，戏仿；n.嘲弄，取笑，滑稽模仿
- Our comic play was a burlesque of a Shakespearean tragedy.我们的喜剧是对莎士比亚一出悲剧的讽刺性模仿。
- He shouldn't burlesque the elder.他不应模仿那长者。
