Zh: 黄山在傍晚薄雾中显得格外神秘。
En: Huangshan appears especially mysterious enveloped in the thin mist of evening.
Zh: 满山苍翠的松树与古老的石阶交织出如画的风景。
En: The lush pine trees blanket the mountain, interwoven with ancient stone steps, creating a picturesque scene.
Zh: 这个时候，正值中元节，这里的人们开始下山，在小溪中放漂流灯笼。
En: It is the time of the Zhongyuan Festival, and the local people begin descending the mountain to set afloat lanterns in the stream.
Zh: 朦胧的灯光在水面上摇曳，给山间增添了一丝温暖。
En: The dim lights sway on the water's surface, adding a touch of warmth to the mountain.
Zh: 丽娟、梅琳和志远走在黄山的石阶上，他们是曾经的高中同学。
En: Lijuan, Meilin, and Zhiyuan walk on the stone steps of Huangshan.
Zh: 毕业多年后，今天他们在此相聚。
En: They were once high school classmates.
Zh: 丽娟站在山顶，遥望远方，思绪万千。
En: After many years since graduation, today they reunite here.
Zh: 她渴望和老朋友们重拾过去的友情，也希望能理清自己对志远的复杂情感。
En: Lijuan stands at the mountain peak, gazing into the distance, her thoughts running deep.
Zh: 梅琳兴奋异常，她是个开朗的人，时常望向丽娟，期待着她能敞开心扉。
En: She yearns to rekindle the friendship with her old friends and hopes to untangle her complicated feelings towards Zhiyuan.
Zh: 但丽娟却总是若有所思。
En: Meilin is exceedingly excited; she is a cheerful person who often looks at Lijuan, hoping she would open up her heart.
Zh: 志远则显得沉静，心中同样藏着许多未解的情结，尤其是对丽娟。
En: However, Lijuan is always deep in thought.
Zh: 天色渐渐暗下来，山间的灯笼开始点亮。
En: Zhiyuan, on the other hand, appears calm, harboring his own unresolved emotions, especially towards Lijuan.
Zh: 梅琳提议去放灯笼，希望借此机会给大家带来好运。
En: As darkness gradually falls, the lanterns in the mountain begin to light up.
Zh: 他们来到溪边，每人手中捧着一个小灯笼，写下自己的愿望。
En: Meilin suggests setting the lanterns adrift, hoping to bring good luck.
Zh: 当灯笼被放入水中，丽娟和志远不由得走到一旁，留下梅琳仔细地看着溪水。
En: They arrive at the stream, each holding a small lantern, on which they write their wishes.
Zh: “志远，”丽娟终于开口，“多年过去了，我还是无法忘记那件事。
En: When the lanterns are set afloat, Lijuan and Zhiyuan find themselves stepping aside, leaving Meilin watching the stream intently.
Zh: ”她的声音轻柔，带着些许忧伤。
En: "Zhiyuan," Lijuan finally speaks, "all these years, I still can't forget that matter."
Zh: 志远深吸一口气，缓缓说道：“我一直想和你谈谈。
En: Her voice is gentle, tinged with sadness.
Zh: 但我怕打扰你的生活。
En: Zhiyuan takes a deep breath and slowly says, "I've always wanted to talk to you.
Zh: ”白色的雾气盘旋在他们周围，像是将他们的心事也漂浮在空气中。
En: But I was afraid of disturbing your life."
Zh: “那时候，我们太年轻。
En: The white mist swirls around them, as if carrying their inner struggles adrift in the air.
Zh: 我不想再留下遗憾。
En: "Back then, we were too young.
Zh: ”丽娟终于鼓起勇气直视志远的眼睛。
En: I don't want to leave any more regrets," Lijuan finally musters the courage to look Zhiyuan in the eye.
Zh: 两人静默了一会儿，随后，志远微微一笑，仿佛解脱一般说：“是啊，是时候放下了。
En: The two remain silent for a while, then Zhiyuan smiles faintly, as if relieved, and says, "Yes, it's time to let go.
Zh: 过去的就让它过去吧。
En: Let bygones be bygones."
Zh: ”远处，梅琳的笑声传来，让他们的对话不再显得那么沉重。
En: In the distance, Meilin's laughter reaches them, lightening the weight of their conversation.
Zh: 丽娟释然了，她放下了多年来的疑虑，与志远的关系更进了一步。
En: Lijuan feels relieved, having released the doubts she held for years, taking a step forward in her relationship with Zhiyuan.
Zh: 当夜幕彻底降临，他们三个肩并肩走下山，灯笼的光在他们身后渐渐消逝。
En: As night fully falls, the three descend the mountain shoulder-to-shoulder, the light from the lanterns gradually fading behind them.
Zh: 丽娟与梅琳、志远在此收获了新的友情和理解，心中的温暖在这个特别的节日里更加深刻。
En: Lijuan gained new friendship and understanding with Meilin and Zhiyuan, and the warmth in her heart deepened during this special festival.
Zh: 在黄山的怀抱中，丽娟终于找到了她的平静与答案，学会了勇敢面对自己的情感，也意识到过去的完结是为了更好地出发。
