夜晚的北京，寒冷而闪烁。

The night in Beijing was cold and shimmering.

在天坛，红色灯笼高高挂起，星光点点。

At the Temple of Heaven, red lanterns hung high, dotted with starlight.

这里是春节的庆典。

Here was the Spring Festival celebration.

热闹的声音混合着冬日的冷空气，伴有淡淡的香火味。

The bustling sounds mixed with the cold winter air, accompanied by a faint scent of incense.

立芬穿着厚厚的羽绒服，挽着表弟伟的手。

Lifen was wearing a thick down jacket, linking arms with her cousin Wei.

在他们面前，人群熙熙攘攘，摩肩接踵。

In front of them, the crowd was bustling and shoulder to shoulder.

伟兴奋地说道：“立芬，这里每一个角落都要看！” 他的脸上满是活力。

Wei said excitedly, "Lifen, we have to see every corner of this place!" His face was full of energy.

立芬微微一笑，眼睛里是一丝思索。

Lifen smiled slightly, a hint of contemplation in her eyes.

她心中希望能与过去的传统有更深的联系，同时创造珍贵的回忆。

She hoped to connect more deeply with past traditions and create precious memories.

“伟，你觉得今天我们会遇到一些老朋友吗？”

"Wei, do you think we will meet some old friends today?"

“也许吧！”伟回答，“你不是说小时候常和建宇在这里玩吗？”

"Maybe!" Wei answered, "Didn't you say you used to play here often with Jianyu when you were young?"

提到建宇，立芬心里微微一动。

Mentioning Jianyu, Lifen's heart moved slightly.

建宇是她小时候的好朋友，如今在外地工作。

Jianyu was her childhood friend, now working in another city.

时光在静静流逝，他们的联系也渐渐淡了。

Time had quietly passed, and their connection had gradually faded.

她有点犹豫，是否要与他重新建立联系。

She was a bit hesitant about whether to reestablish contact with him.

在天坛的四周，张灯结彩，游人如织，给立芬一丝压力。

Around the Temple of Heaven, the decorations were splendid, and the visitors were numerous, giving Lifen a bit of pressure.

她跟随伟，参观了一些摊位，看了一些舞龙表演，但内心总觉得缺少了些什么。

She followed Wei, visiting some stalls and watching some dragon dance performances, but felt something was missing internally.

她在寻找一个安静的角落，一个可以平静思考的地方。

She was searching for a quiet corner, a place where she could think peacefully.

“立芬，我们上那个圆形的祭坛吧，听说能看到很远的风景。”伟指着远处的圆丘祭坛说道。

"Lifen, let's go up that circular altar, I've heard you can see far from there," Wei pointed to the circular mound altar in the distance.

立芬点头，跟随伟慢慢爬上祭坛。

Lifen nodded and followed Wei slowly up the altar.

祭坛上空旷，脚下是冰冷的石阶。

The altar was spacious and the stone steps beneath were cold.

终于，他们到达了祭坛顶部，迎面而来的是夜空星斗与远处的灯火。

Finally, they reached the top of the altar, greeted by the starry night sky and distant lights.

这时，立芬看到了站在不远处的一个熟悉的身影。

At this moment, Lifen saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

是建宇。

It was Jianyu.

他似乎也在寻找片刻的宁静。

He seemed to be seeking a moment of tranquility as well.

当两人的目光交汇时，立芬微微一笑，缓步走向前。

When their eyes met, Lifen smiled slightly and walked forward slowly.

“建宇，好久不见。”立芬轻声说道。

"Jianyu, long time no see," Lifen said softly.

建宇回过头，温柔地笑了笑，“立芬，真没想到能在这里遇见你。”

Jianyu turned around and smiled gently, "Lifen, I didn't expect to meet you here."

他们站在一起，脚下是延绵的北京城，耳边是远处的烟花声。

They stood together, the sprawling city of Beijing beneath them, the sound of fireworks in the distance.

立芬和建宇开始交谈，他们聊起过去的时光，聊起各自的变化。

Lifen and Jianyu began to talk, reminiscing about the past, discussing their changes.

“有时候，我觉得自己被城市冲散了。”立芬说，“但这里让我想起从前，让我想与传统连接，与朋友连接。”

"Sometimes, I feel like the city has scattered me," Lifen said, "but this place reminds me of the past, makes me want to connect with tradition, connect with friends."

“我也是这样，我们都在不断寻找自己。”建宇回应道。

"I feel the same way, we're both constantly searching for ourselves," Jianyu responded.

在那一刻，立芬感受到了一种深深的归属感。

In that moment, Lifen felt a deep sense of belonging.

她明白，现代的春节庆祝与传统并不矛盾，两者的结合正是她真正的根源。

She realized that modern Spring Festival celebrations aren't at odds with tradition; their combination is her true root.

夜空中绽放的烟花映照着他们的脸，

The fireworks blossomed in the night sky, illuminating their faces.

立芬笑了，她找到了心中的平衡。

Lifen smiled, finding balance in her heart.

她意识到，属于她的春节不仅是怀旧的传统，还有充满活力的当下。

She realized that her Spring Festival was not only about nostalgic traditions but also the vibrant present.

故事在烟花的光辉中结束，立芬带着满满的快乐与满足迎接新的开始。

The story concludes with the brilliance of the fireworks as Lifen welcomed a new beginning with joy and fulfillment.
