【适用场合】
今天我们来学习一下这个短语，叫做song and dance；
字面意思是：唱歌和跳舞；
它确实可以表达这个意思，但实际生活中还有一个引申义，可以指：
a long and complicated statement or story, especially one which is not true
“又冗长又复杂的一段陈述、故事，通常还不是真的（胡言乱语、假大空的话）”；
或者an excessively elaborate effort to explain or justify
“为了解释某事或者为了证明某件事情是正确的，而煞费的苦心”；
再比如：
If you say that someone is making a song and dance about something, you mean they are making an unnecessary fuss about it.
“大惊小怪”的意思；
eg: He used his money to help others, but he never made a song and dance about it.
他用了他自己的钱来帮助其他人，但是他从来不把这事儿小题大做/他从来不把这当一回事儿。
eg: The whole song and dance to introduce the keynote speaker lasted longer than her speech!
为了介绍主讲人的罗里吧嗦的那些话，比主讲人的演讲还长。
eg: When I questioned her about her tardiness, she gave me some song and dance about her car breaking down.
当我询问她为什么进度缓慢时，她编了一大堆谎话说她车坏掉了。
eg: Do you really believe his song and dance about the alarm not going off, being stopped for speeding, and then the car breaking down?
你相信他编的那一大串谎话吗？闹钟没响，超速被停车，车后来又给坏了？
