When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

so it should be: "I'm dancing, my shadows runs wild" :)
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。 - 舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。
月既不解飲，影徒隨我身。 - 暫伴月將影，行樂須及春。
我歌月徘徊，我舞影零亂。 - 醒時同交歡，醉後各分散。
永結無情遊，相期邈雲漢。
Li Bai (701-762) "Drinking alone with the moon"
From a pot of wine among the flowers, I drank alone. There was no one with me --
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends To cheer me through the end of spring...
I sang. The moon encouraged me. I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were boon companions. And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
...Shall goodwill ever be secure? I watch the long road of the River of Stars.
