Rachel: Mr. Shue, you seem concerned.
Will: What? No. I mean, they were great, but we're just as good.
Rachel: Mr. Shue, if I may. What they were doing was just All smoke and mirrors. It's called "hairography."
Will: What?
Rachel: Hairography. All the whizzing of their hair around just to distract from the fact that they're not really good dancers. And their vocals were just so-so. Trust me. We've nothing to be afraid of.【台词翻译】
Rachel: Shue老师，你好像很担心。
Will: 啥？才没有呢。虽说他们很赞，我们也不赖是吧。
Rachel: Shue老师，容我说一句。他们使的不过是障眼法，这就叫做"甩发术"。
Will: 什么术？
Rachel: 甩发术啦。就是把他们的长发甩来甩去混淆视听，掩盖他们舞蹈上的不足。而且他们唱歌也就一般而已。相信我吧，我们没什么好担心的。

【口语讲解】smoke and mirrors
很有意思的一个习语，来历也比较好猜，就是魔术表演中魔术师总是会放出烟雾，摆个镜子来蒙蔽真相，让观众云里雾里，他就能浑水摸鱼、蒙混过关了。
