上海的秋天,黄昏时分,灯光开始点亮城市。
In the autumn of Shanghai, at dusk, the lights begin to illuminate the city.
在这座繁华的城市中心,有一栋高耸入云的摩天大楼。
In the heart of this bustling metropolis stands a skyscraper that pierces the clouds.
温,一位年轻的建筑师,站在这栋大楼的底层,抬头望着层层高处。
Wen, a young architect, stands at the base of this building, looking up at its towering heights.
他的心中充满了期待和紧张。
His heart is filled with both anticipation and nervousness.
这天是中秋节,公司在大楼的顶楼举行聚会。
This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the company is hosting a party on the top floor of the building.
大家都会在那里赏月、放灯笼。
Everyone will be there to admire the moon and light lanterns.
温一直想要参加,但他有一个秘密——他非常怕高。
Wen has always wanted to attend, but he has a secret—he is very afraid of heights.
他的朋友们,莉和小,已经在顶楼等他了,而温却在犹豫不决。
His friends, Li and Xiao, are already waiting for him on the top floor, but Wen is hesitant.
“温,加油!
"Wen, you can do it!"
”莉在电话里鼓励他,“你来吧,我们都在等你。
Li encourages him over the phone, "Come on, we're all waiting for you."
”温深吸一口气。
Wen takes a deep breath.
他决定面对自己的恐惧。
He decides to face his fear.
他走进电梯,按下了那个让他心跳加速的按钮——顶楼。
He steps into the elevator and presses the button that makes his heart race—the top floor.
电梯在上升,温的手心出汗,但他的内心却有一种不可思议的平静。
As the elevator ascends, Wen's palms sweat, but inside, he feels an incredible calm.
电梯到达顶层,门缓缓打开。
The elevator reaches the top floor, and the door slowly opens.
温深吸一口气,走了出来。
Wen takes a deep breath and steps out.
他的腿有些发软,但看到周围挂满灯笼,大家的笑声和声音都让他感到温暖。
His legs feel a bit shaky, but seeing the lanterns all around, and hearing everyone's laughter and voices makes him feel warm.
他努力不去看楼下,只专注于眼前美丽的夜景。
He tries hard not to look down and focuses only on the beautiful night view in front of him.
莉和小看到了温,激动地招手。
Li and Xiao see Wen and wave excitedly.
“温,你来了!
"You made it!"
”大家围了过来,纷纷表示欢迎。
Everyone gathers around to welcome him.
就在这时,空中漂起一个个纸制的灯笼,静静地飞向夜空。
At that moment, paper lanterns float up into the sky, quietly soaring into the night.
温的心情仿佛被这晚风吹得轻盈了,恐惧渐渐消散。
Wen feels as though his mood is lightened by the evening breeze, and the fear gradually dissipates.
他发现自己不仅战胜了对高度的恐惧,还找到了与朋友、同事们之间更深的联系。
He realizes that not only has he overcome his fear of heights, but he has also found a deeper connection with his friends and colleagues.
夜空中,成群的灯笼慢慢升起,温仰望着,心中充满了新找到的自信和无比的满足。
In the night sky, groups of lanterns slowly rise, and Wen gazes upward, feeling a newfound confidence and immense satisfaction.
这一次,他不仅是来赏月,更是突破了自己。
This time, he is not just here to admire the moon but to overcome himself.
这是一个特别的中秋节,温也在心里默默许下了一个愿望——无论前方还有什么阻碍,他都愿意勇敢面对。
This was a special Mid-Autumn Festival, and Wen silently made a wish in his heart—no matter what obstacles lie ahead, he is willing to face them bravely.
这一刻,他也同样如那些灯笼一样,向上,向着更大的世界飞去。
At this moment, he is just like those lanterns, rising and flying towards a bigger world.
