But the French, who had similar folk dances, associated the English word "country" with their term "contre" ("against") to produce the name " contredanse " for the longways "type".

在法国也有相似的蹈，法语词“对”与英语词“乡村”相似，因而产生了那英国式的“对”的。

Neither rounds nor longways persisted in American folk dancing proper, although both formations are found in children's games, and the still-popular "Virginia Reel" is a longways.

虽然“站圈”与“”对美国的儿童游戏仍然有影响，但它们在美国纯民间蹈中已风光不再。不过，现在依然流行的“弗吉尼亚”确是的一。
