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".

在法有相似的舞蹈，法语单词“面对面”与英语单词“乡村”相似，因而产生了那英式的“面对面”的列队舞。

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“站圈舞”与“列队舞”对美的儿童游有影响，但它们在美纯民间舞蹈中已风光不再。不过，现在依流行的“弗吉尼亚舞”确是列队舞的一。
