Story Transcript:
Zh: 梅坐在厨房的长桌旁，耳边是外面孩子们的欢笑声和厨房里袅袅的饭香。
En: Mei sat at the long table in the kitchen, the sounds of the children's laughter and the aroma of food wafting through from the kitchen.
Zh: 家里热闹又温馨，是她们南半球夏天的标志之一。
En: The home was lively and cozy, one of the hallmarks of their southern hemisphere summer.
Zh: 阳光通过花园里的古老树叶洒下斑驳的影子，给这座大房子增添了一份宁静。
En: Sunlight filtered through the ancient leaves in the garden, casting mottled shadows and adding a sense of tranquility to the large house.
Zh: 梅的奶奶李靠在椅子上，时不时地轻咳。
En: Mei's grandmother, Li, reclined in her chair, occasionally coughing lightly.
Zh: 这声音像一把轻轻撩动梅心弦的小提琴弦，唤起她对往事的回忆，那些与家人有关的不愉快场景。
En: The sound was like a violin string gently plucking at Mei's heartstrings, evoking memories of unpleasant scenes from the past involving family.
Zh: 梅心里一直有个挥之不去的担忧，生怕家人们重蹈覆辙。
En: Mei had a persistent worry in her heart, fearing that her family might repeat past mistakes.
Zh: “奶奶，你的咳嗽不见好转，我觉得我们应该去看医生，”梅温柔地说道，眉头微微皱起。
En: "Grandma, your cough isn't getting better. I think we should see a doctor," Mei said gently, her brows slightly furrowed.
Zh: 昌，是梅的哥哥，却摇头说：“梅，不用那么紧张。奶奶这只是季节性过敏。夏天是这样，每年都差不多。”
En: Chang, Mei's brother, shook his head and said, "Mei, don't be so anxious. Grandma's just experiencing seasonal allergies. That's how summer is; it's almost the same every year."
Zh: 听到昌这么说，梅心中闪过一丝怀疑。
En: Hearing what Chang said, a trace of doubt flashed through Mei's mind.
Zh: 也许真的是她多虑了？
En: Could she truly be overthinking it?
Zh: 可是，这种感觉是那么揪心。
En: Yet the feeling was so troubling.
Zh: 她知道，她必须下个决定，这是她做为家人守护者应负的责任。
En: She knew she had to make a decision, as it was her responsibility as the family's protector.
Zh: 夜晚降临，月光如水，照亮了厨房的地板。
En: As night descended, the moonlight, like water, illuminated the kitchen floor.
Zh: 梅静静地坐在那里，心中犹豫不决。
En: Mei sat there quietly, torn with indecision.
Zh: 可当她再次听见李轻轻的咳嗽声，犹如回荡在她内心深处的一声钟响，她坚定地决定要做正确的事情。
En: But when she once again heard Li's gentle cough, echoing like a bell ringing deep within her soul, she resolved to do the right thing.
Zh: 第二天早晨，梅鼓起勇气，对昌说：“我还是觉得奶奶需要见医生。请相信我。”
En: The next morning, Mei mustered the courage and said to Chang, "I still feel that Grandma needs to see a doctor. Please trust me."
Zh: 昌疑惑地看着梅，但他没有再争论。
En: Chang looked at Mei with doubt, but he didn't argue further.
Zh: 毕竟，他知道妹妹的心意，像这柔和夏日的阳光一样坚定和温暖。
En: After all, he knew his sister's intentions were as steadfast and warm as the gentle summer sunlight.
Zh: 医生的诊断很快就有了结果，
En: The doctor's diagnosis was soon in.
Zh: 李的咳嗽并不严重，只是小问题，如果不处理可能会变坏。
En: Li's cough was not serious, just a minor issue that could worsen if left unaddressed.
Zh: 梅松了一口气，她知道，她的坚持是对的。
En: Mei sighed with relief, knowing she had been right to persist.
Zh: 她感到一种久违的平静。
En: She felt a long-lost sense of peace.
Zh: 家人们围坐在餐桌旁，窗外树影摇曳，夏日的微风轻轻捎来温馨的气息。
En: The family gathered around the dining table, with the shadows of trees swaying outside, as the summer breeze gently brought in a warm, cozy feeling.
Zh: 梅抬眼，看见奶奶慈祥的笑容，
En: Mei looked up and saw Li's kind smile.
Zh: 她心中自豪，自己终于相信了自己的直觉，为奶奶的健康做出了正确的决定。
En: She felt proud for trusting her instincts and making the right decision for her grandmother's health.
Zh: 故事在这片温暖中结束。
En: The story concludes in this warmth.
Zh: 梅学会了如何信任自己的判断，无论他人反对与否。
En: Mei learned how to trust her own judgment, regardless of opposition.
Zh: 这是一个对她而言，更加坚定成熟的开始。
En: This marked the beginning of a more determined and mature phase for her.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Mayas brother shook his head and said, May, don't be
so anxious. Grandma's just experiencing seasonal allergies. That's how summer is.
It's almost the same every year.

Hearing what Chang said, a trace of doubt flashed through
May's mind.
Speaker 5 (07:14):

like a bell ringing deep within her soul, she resolved
to do the right thing.

and warm as the gentle summer sunlight.

of trees swaying outside as the summer breeze gently brought
in a warm, cozy feeling.
