They go to the sports park to set off the sky lantern

Morley: I know what I’m going to wish for.

Kathy: What’s that? A new girlfriend?

Morley: No. That I can be an aikido master like you.

Kathy: Ha-ha. You know, these lanterns were originally used in wars.

Morley: Really? Did they set them off as a signal to attack?

Kathy: No, the Han Chinese in Pinghsi used them to let women and children know that it was safe to go home after an attack by the aborigines.

Morley: No wonder they came to represent peace.

他们到运动公园放天灯

莫理:我知道我要许什么愿了。

卡西:什么?交新女朋友?

莫理:不是。我希望能成为像你一样的合气道高手。

卡西:哈哈。你知道吗,这些天灯一开始是在战争时用的。

莫理:真的?放天灯表示进攻的信号吗

卡西:不是,平溪的汉人放天灯告知女人及小孩原住民的攻击已经结束,可以平安回家了。

莫理:难怪天灯象征和平。
