美93岁老妪随曾孙参加毕业舞会。请看本报昨日的报道：

    A 93-year-old woman in the United States got the chance to attend her first prom since 1940 after her great-grandson asked if she would be his date to the junior prom one week ago.

    Katie Keith said she had just been kidding around when her great-grandson Drew Holm first told her he wasn’t going to the prom because he didn’t have a date.

    “I said, ‘Well, I’ve got a dress, I’ll go with you,’” Katie told Wave 3 News. “I was just joking you know.”

    报道中的prom就是promenade的简称，指在美国（英国和加拿大也日益流行）中学临近毕业举行的半正式（dress code: 黑领结）舞会，有junior prom （初中毕业舞会）和senior prom （高中毕业舞会），舞会上还会评出prom king和prom queen。
