今天我們要學(xué)的詞是prom。 Prom在美國指高中高年級學(xué)生在學(xué)年結(jié)束前的半正式舞會(huì)。High school prom，一般指高中畢業(yè)班的舞會(huì)，又稱senior prom或者干脆就是prom。

"Proms are a $4 billion-a-year industry, but that figure could drop as much as one fifth this year because of the sagging economy," 高中畢業(yè)舞會(huì)每年總消費(fèi)高達(dá)40億美元，但是由于經(jīng)濟(jì)不景氣，今年可能會(huì)下跌五分之一。"But for many high school seniors, the prom is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it doesn’t make sense to cut costs," 但是很多高中畢業(yè)生認(rèn)為，畢業(yè)舞會(huì)一輩子就這么一回，所以不應(yīng)該能省就省。好的，今天我們學(xué)習(xí)的詞是prom...
