Picture walking away from something and not coming back for it — a car left at the , a village emptied out, a plan dropped halfway. Whatever you walk away from, you let go of your hold on it. The last use turns that : what you let go of is your own self-control, and then you are dancing with abandon.

可以想成:走開,而且不再回頭去拿——路邊丟著的車、人去樓空的村子、做到一半就擱下的計畫。不管走開的是什麼,你都鬆開了原本抓著它的那隻手。最後一個用法把這個動作轉向自己:鬆開的是自己的克制,於是就成了 dance with abandon(忘我地跳舞)。
