DOES THINKING BACK to your senior prom still make you smile—or make you queasy?
回想起高中畢業舞會，你是會笑還是會惡心?
In either case, May is part of prom season,
不管怎樣，五月屬于畢業季，
which makes this a good time to promenade (yes, that's where the word comes from) through some of the most noteworthy dances since the first coed mixers between Smith and Amherst Colleges in the 1890s.
自19世紀90年代史密斯學院和阿默斯特學院首次男女同校以來，這是通過一些最值得注意的舞蹈（是的，這里就是舞蹈單詞的起源地）脫穎而出的最佳時機。

He had a funny name: Elvis.
他有一個有趣的名字：貓王。
He wore funny clothes, too:
他穿的衣服也很滑稽：
Instead of the standard white tuxedo, he was dressed in a dark blue suit and—no joke—blue suede shoes.
他沒有穿標準的白色燕尾服，而是穿了一套深藍色的西裝和藍色麂皮皮鞋（不是玩笑）。
Yet the most surprising thing about Regis Wilson's date for the 1953 prom at Humes High School in Memphis, Tennessee, was that the future king of rock 'n' roll said he couldn't dance.
1953年，里吉斯·威爾遜參加了田納西州孟菲斯市的休姆斯高中的畢業舞會。最令人驚訝的是，這位未來的搖滾之王竟然說自己不會跳舞。
Instead, 18-year-old Presley and his 14-year-old partner spent their evening quietly sipping sodas and watching the other couples swinging on the dance floor.
而18歲的普雷斯利和他14歲的搭檔靜靜地喝著汽水，看著其他情侶在舞池里搖曳生姿，他們就這樣度過了一晚上。
Wilson somehow misplaced her prom photo,
威爾遜不知怎么把她舞會的照片放錯了地兒。
but Presley held on to his— and he looks miserable in it.
但普雷斯利緊緊抓住他的照片——他在照片中看起來很可憐。
But things soon changed for the guy with the slicked-back hair and long sideburns.
但對于這個梳著大背頭和留著長長的鬢角的家伙來說，很快就發生了變化。
He obviously learned to dance.
顯然他學會了跳舞。
And he also found the proper venue for those suede shoes.
還找到了合適的地方來放那些麂皮鞋。
