广场舞
Square dancing — Chinese reading, HSK 5

每天傍晚，我家附近的广场上都有几十位阿姨跟着音乐跳舞。她们大多已经退休，跳广场舞既能锻炼身体，又能认识新朋友。我妈妈参加以后，不但瘦了五公斤，心情也开朗了很多。

Every evening dozens of women dance to music in the square near my home. Most are retired; square dancing lets them exercise and make new friends. Since my mum joined she has lost five kilos and become much more cheerful.
不过，广场舞也引起过不少矛盾。音乐声音太大，影响了附近居民休息，尤其是要上早班的年轻人和刚出生的婴儿。

But square dancing has also caused plenty of friction. The music is too loud and disturbs nearby residents' rest — especially young people on early shifts and newborn babies.
后来，社区和跳舞的阿姨们商量好：音量调小，晚上八点半以前结束。问题解决了，大家的关系也更和谐了。可见，只要互相理解，矛盾是可以化解的。

Later the neighbourhood committee and the dancers agreed to turn the volume down and finish before half past eight. The problem was solved, and relations got friendlier. Clearly, as long as people understand each other, conflicts can be resolved.
