秋天的午后，阳光洒在上海的豫园。

On an autumn afternoon, the sunlight poured over Shanghai’s Yuyuan Gardens.

人们聚集在这里，准备迎接中秋节。

People gathered in this place, ready to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival.

空气中弥漫着月饼的香味，五彩缤纷的灯笼在微风中轻轻晃动。

The air was filled with the fragrance of mooncakes, and colorful lanterns swayed gently in the breeze.

梅和志浩正走在繁忙的市场中。

Mei and Zhihao were walking through the busy market.

梅对志浩说：“我想给奶奶买一个特别的手工灯笼，让她在家里也能感受到节日的气氛。

Mei said to Zhihao, “I want to buy a special handcrafted lantern for Nainai.

”志浩皱了眉，回道：“那我们去看看现代的商店吧，你看这些古老的东西，不一定适合。

So she can feel the festive atmosphere at home.” Zhihao frowned and replied, “Then let’s check out some modern stores.

”梅摇了摇头。

These old things might not be suitable.” Mei shook her head.

不远处，有一条小路通向市场深处，她决心顺着这条路走。

Not far away, a small path led deeper into the market, and she was determined to follow it.

漫步于市场的深处，梅发现了一家隐藏的小摊。

As she wandered deeper into the market, Mei discovered a hidden little stall.

摊位上的灯笼无比精美，正是她心目中的样子。

The lanterns at the stall were extraordinarily exquisite, just what she had in mind.

不过，当她询问灯笼价格时，发现出乎她的意料。

However, when she asked about the price, she found it was beyond her expectations.

志浩这时赶了过来，看了一眼灯笼：“哇，这确实很漂亮，不过有点贵，不如看看别的。

At that moment, Zhihao caught up and glanced at the lanterns, “Wow, these are indeed beautiful, but a bit expensive.

”梅沉思着，这个灯笼虽然贵，但它的美丽和意义无可替代。

Maybe we should look at others.” Mei pondered; although the lanterns were pricey, their beauty and significance were irreplaceable.

她想起奶奶讲的故事，还有那些在月夜下团聚的时光。

She recalled the stories Nainai told and the times they gathered under the moonlit nights.

经过一番考虑，梅决定买下灯笼。

After some consideration, Mei decided to buy the lantern.

她用自己省下来的钱支付，心里觉得无比满足。

She used her saved money to pay, feeling immensely satisfied inside.

她坚定了自己的选择，也感到由衷的高兴。

She was firm in her choice and filled with genuine happiness.

志浩看到梅的微笑，有些感动，点头说道：“看来，有些传统确实不能丢。

Zhihao saw Mei’s smile and felt a bit moved.

”他对家庭传统多了一份理解。

He nodded and said, “Seems like some traditions indeed cannot be lost.” He gained a new understanding of family traditions.

随着日落，梅和志浩走出豫园。

As sunset approached, Mei and Zhihao walked out of Yuyuan Gardens.

梅的手里紧紧握着那盏永恒的灯笼，两人心中都感受到了节日的温暖与家的意义。

Mei held the eternal lantern tightly in her hand, and both felt the warmth of the festival and the meaning of home in their hearts.

故事在秋日的余晖中，划上了一个温馨的句号。

The story concluded on a warm note in the autumn twilight.
