他站在远处观看人们准备龙舟,心里也有些想参与,但是又怕自己融不进去。

“魏!要不要来试试划龙舟?”是邻居李娜在招呼他。

小云是一个活泼开朗的女生,她笑着对魏说:“放心,我们会一起赢的!”
Xiao Yun was a lively and cheerful girl, who smiled and said to Wei, "Don't worry, we'll win together!"
比赛开始,魏努力划桨,他感受到了力量在传递。
As the race began, Wei paddled vigorously, feeling the strength being transmitted.
突然,龙舟的方向偏了一偏,大家有些慌张。
Suddenly, the dragon boat veered off course slightly, and everyone panicked a bit.

他心中默念着节奏,稳定住了方向,龙舟开始飞速前进。
He silently counted the rhythm in his mind, stabilizing the direction, and the dragon boat started speeding forward.
