北京首都国际机场的大厅里,充满了行人的喧闹声。
The hall of Beijing Capital International Airport was filled with the noise of travelers.
人们来来往往,欢声笑语的气氛中夹杂着月饼的香甜味。
People came and went, and amidst the atmosphere of laughter and joy was the sweet aroma of mooncakes.
这是中秋节的前夕,机场的装饰上挂满了象征团圆的灯笼和剪纸。
It was the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the airport was decorated with lanterns and paper cuttings symbolizing reunion.
美丽是一位忙碌的商业女性,此时的她正急匆匆地拉着行李箱,穿梭在人群之中。
Meili was a busy businesswoman, and at this moment she was hurriedly pulling her suitcase, weaving through the crowd.
她要飞往国外完成一笔重要的商业交易,这是她事业的一次大好机会。
She needed to fly abroad to complete an important business deal, which was a great opportunity for her career.
然而,尽管她看似坚强自信,心中却不断滋生着对飞行的恐惧。
However, despite appearing strong and confident, her heart was growing increasingly fearful of flying.
越接近登机口,她的心跳得越快。
The closer she got to the boarding gate, the faster her heart beat.
在另一个角落,向是一名认真负责的空乘人员。
In another corner, Xiang was a diligent and responsible flight attendant.
他正忙于检查乘客的登机手续。
He was busy checking the boarding passes of passengers.
向心中有些许不安,他答应家人中秋节回去,但如今只能尽力维持机场的秩序。
Xiang felt a bit uneasy; he had promised his family he would come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now he could only try to maintain airport order.
他多么希望能与家人一起赏月吃月饼。
How he wished he could watch the moon and eat mooncakes with his family.
登机快要开始,美丽在排队时感到一阵晕眩,呼吸也越来越急促。
As boarding was about to begin, Meili felt dizzy while waiting in line, with her breathing becoming more and more rapid.
她的恐惧终于爆发——一场严重的恐慌袭来。
Her fear finally erupted—a serious panic attack hit her.
她不得不靠在墙上,感觉整个人要瘫倒。
She had to lean against the wall, feeling as if she might collapse.
正在忙碌的向无意中看见了美丽,于是他走上前询问:“女士,您还好吗?需要帮助吗?”
Busy with his tasks, Xiang happened to notice Meili, so he approached and asked, “Ma'am, are you okay? Do you need help?”
美丽无力地摇头,但眼神透出无奈和求助。
Meili shook her head weakly, but her eyes showed helplessness and a plea for assistance.
向知道,这样的情况需要冷静处理。
Xiang knew that such situations required calm handling.
“请跟我做,先慢慢吸气,然后慢慢吐气。”向温柔地指引着美丽做呼吸练习。
“Please follow me, first breathe in slowly, then exhale slowly,” Xiang gently guided Meili through breathing exercises.
几分钟后,美丽的心情逐渐平复。
A few minutes later, Meili began to calm down.
她努力挤出微笑,“谢谢你,真是麻烦了。”
She managed a smile, “Thank you, really sorry for the trouble.”
“不客气,这是我的职责,”向说,“祝您一切顺利。”
“No problem, it's my duty,” Xiang replied, “I wish you all the best.”
事情结束后,美丽感激地看着向,又坚定地转向登机口。
After the incident, Meili looked gratefully at Xiang, then resolutely turned toward the boarding gate.
她知道,自己必须克服恐惧,勇敢面对未来的挑战。
She knew she must overcome her fear and bravely face future challenges.
坐在机舱座位上,美丽感受到了抵达目标的希望。
Sitting in her seat on the plane, Meili felt the hope of reaching her goal.
而此时的向,终于收到家人传来的视频电话。
Meanwhile, Xiang finally received a video call from his family.
他们的脸在屏幕上笑得那么温暖。
Their faces smiling warmly on the screen.
“我们等你回来呢!”母亲在电话里轻轻地说。
“We're waiting for you to come back!” his mother said gently over the call.
挂断电话后,向的内心感到无比踏实。
After hanging up, Xiang felt an incomparable sense of peace within.
这天,他不仅帮助了美丽,也更加明白了自己的选择,是值得的。
That day, he not only helped Meili, but also understood even more that his choice was worthwhile.
北京的秋风依旧凉爽,但夹杂着那份温暖和爱,
The autumn wind in Beijing remained cool, but carried with it warmth and love.
这个中秋夜,为每个人带来了希望和勇气。
This Mid-Autumn night brought hope and courage to everyone.
