Although this night lacked the energy of an Awa Odori festival, many students and parents-almost 1,000 in all-were in attendance, and the misty moonlight falling gently on the yard created quite a poetic feeling. Don't panic about missing a step, let the music go on and on, let time slow down a bit-I silently prayed for these things on that night.
雖然沒有阿波舞的「陽氣」，但學生與家長合起來將近千人的舞蹈大會，在朦朧的月光緩緩的進行著，很富詩意。舞步不要慌、音樂不要停、時光的流轉慢一些吧──我在心裡這樣祈禱著。
