柯莱再一次触碰他人的手，是在某年蒙德羽球节期间。
Collei once again touched someone's hand during a certain year's Ludi Harpastum in Mondstadt.
城里张灯结彩，街头人声鼎沸。夜幕织向天陲，舞台气氛正酣。
张灯结彩decorated with lights and lanterns
The city was elaborately decorated with lights and lanterns. The streets were jam-packed with people. The sky was getting darker, and the stage was in full swing.
火红的少女自说自话地拉起她的手，离开狭小的木箱，挤入人群。
A girl in flaming red just grabbed her hand, took her out of that cramped wooden box, and squeezed into the crowd.
人们围在一起，为套圈、弹弓之类简单幼稚的比赛喝彩叫好。
套圈play hoops
People gathered around, cheering and applauding the contestants who were playing hoops or with slingshots.
柯莱一度感到无法理解。这些小游戏玩得再好，又能在城外猎到多少食物呢？
理解relate
Collei could notrelateto them. No matter how well they could play these most childish games, what use were they in hunting game out in the wild?
可同行的少女却以极大热情投入其中，为每一次胜利欢呼雀跃，将到手的奖品分发给孩童们。
欢呼雀跃cheer and whoop
Yet, the girl with her was extremely passionate about these little games. She would cheer and whoopat every victory, and hand out the prizes she won to the children.
柯莱不明白。假如不是为了奖励，为什么还要参加这些活动？难道，其中真会有什么乐趣吗？
Collei was even more baffled. If not for the rewards, why would anyone participate in these activities? Was there really any fun in them?
她偷偷溜到角落，拿起弹弓小试身手——结果，十多发里有一发碰到了靶子边缘。
So she sneaked to a corner and picked up a slingshot to try her hand at it — in the end, one of the more than ten shots she fired eventually hit the edge of the target.
「中了！」柯莱兴冲冲地转过头，「喂！你快看…」
"Yay! I hit it!" Collei turned her head excitedly. "Hey! Did you see..."
这时她才发现自己沉迷其中已经过去了很长时间，红衣少女早已离开。
It was only then that she realized that she had been there for quite a long time and the girl in red had already left.
后来的日子里，柯莱越发投入练习，逐渐听熟了引弦与掷镖的声音。她练了很长时间，直到十多发里罕有一发落空。
In the days that followed, Collei had been practicing day in and day out. Gradually, she became more than familiar with the sounds of drawing a bowstring and throwing darts. She practiced for a long time, until she would seldom miss a shot out of ten.
每次拉动弓弦，柯莱总会想起那天夜里第一次击中目标的激动。
Every time she pulled the bowstring back, Collei remembered the excitement of hitting the target for the first time on that night.
还有那位少女拉起她跑向人群时，手心如暖阳般的温度。
And that when the girl grabbed her hand and ran towards the crowd, her palm was as warm as the sun.
