在晴朗的秋天, 李薇和肖明踏入了大学校园。 城市高楼林立。 Li Wei is a diligent student. She is
24
00:01:52.489 --> 00:01:57.109
full of hope for the future, but her family's expectations
25
00:01:57.170 --> 00:02:01.219
make her feel stressed. She wants to get good grades
26
00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:05.200
in her studies, and she also wants to make friends.
27
00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:17.079
Li Weiwei笑着看着小明, 谢谢你, 我过得很开心。 在那一刻, 她感到心中涌动着前所未有的自由与快乐。 Let's take another listen. Listen closely to
28
00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:20.439
any parts you may have missed. 在晴朗的秋天, 李薇和小明踏入了大学校园。 On a clear
29
00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:23.040
autumn day, Li Wei and Xiao Ming stepped into the
30
00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:43.970
university campus. The city was filled with tall buildings, yet
31
00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:48.709
the campus exuded a strong academic atmosphere, with occasional wafts
32
00:04:48.730 --> 00:05:12.199
of mooncake fragrance from street stalls. 树叶开始变色, 象征着这个新学期的到来。 The leaves were
33
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.819
beginning to change color, symbolizing the start of the new semester.
34
00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:24.110
Li Wei was a diligent student. She was full of
35
00:05:24.189 --> 00:05:28.050
hopes for the future, but her family's expectations made her
36
00:05:28.069 --> 00:05:30.370
feel under a lot of pressure.
37
00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:49.329
She wanted to achieve good grades in her studies and
38
00:05:49.389 --> 00:05:50.610
also hoped to make friends.
39
00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:57.879
Xiaoming, her friend from high school, had an easygoing personality
40
00:05:57.939 --> 00:06:09.410
and always managed to help her relax. After the first
41
00:06:09.430 --> 00:06:12.930
day's classes, Li Wei felt dizzy and overwhelmed with new
42
00:06:12.949 --> 00:06:16.170
knowledge imparted by the professors. Outside the academic building, Xiaoming
43
00:06:16.189 --> 00:06:39.930
was waiting for her, looking relaxed. Li Wei, 晚上去参加中秋节吧。 肖明说道。 Li Wei,
44
00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:41.689
let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight. 肖明 said。 Li Wei犹豫不决, 可是我还有许多功课要做。
45
00:06:41.629 --> 00:06:46.069
Li Wei hesitated, but I have so much homework to do.
46
00:06:46.069 --> 00:07:11.310
肖明笑了, 总是学习, 会错过很多乐趣。 Xiaoming laughed. If you only study, you'll miss out
47
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:20.160
on a lot of fun. 今晚我们去河边公园赏月, 放孔明灯。 Tonight, we can go
48
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.040
to the Riverside Park to enjoy the moon and release
49
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.040
Kongming lanterns.
50
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.180
肖明的话让李薇心动, 然而她又想起父母的期望和桌上未完成的作业。 Xiaoming's words moved Li Wei.
51
00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:41.939
Yet she also remembered her parents' expectations and the unfinished
52
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.079
assignments on her desk.
53
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.879
夜幕降临, 李薇坐在宿舍的书桌前, 面对堆积如山的笔迹, 心情沉重.
54
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.120
As night fell, Li Wei sat at her dormitory desk,
55
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:58.040
facing a mountain of notes, feeling heavy-hearted. 这时, 手机发来一条信息, 是肖明的邀请.
56
00:07:54.040 --> 00:08:13.959
快来, 大家都在等你。 Just then, her phone beeped with a message. It
57
00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:17.860
was an invitation from Xiaoming. Come quickly, everyone is waiting
58
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:24.600
for you. 李薇终究决定参加。 Li Wei eventually decided to join.
59
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:29.129
她带上了一盒月饼, 快不敢往河边公园。 She brought a box of mooncakes and hurried to
60
00:08:29.230 --> 00:08:30.430
the Riverside Park.
61
00:08:30.430 --> 00:08:50.690
那里灯火辉煌。 There, the lights were bright, classmates were laughing and chatting,
62
00:08:51.090 --> 00:08:54.169
the moon hung high in the night sky, illuminating everyone's
63
00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:55.049
smiling faces.
64
00:08:56.190 --> 00:09:00.309
When Li Wei released the Kong Ming lantern in her.
65
00:09:00.250 --> 00:09:10.690
Hand, It seemed as though the pressure inside her lifted
66
00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:11.669
into the air as well.
67
00:09:11.690 --> 00:09:18.009
She realized that life requires balance. While grades are important,
68
00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.549
the precious university time cannot be missed.
69
00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:42.149
In this way, Li Wei made a different choice on
70
00:09:42.169 --> 00:09:43.500
the mid-autumn festival night.
71
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:48.460
她不仅享受了节日的欢乐, 还交到了许多朋友。 She not only enjoyed the festive joy, but also
72
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.240
made many friends.
73
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:49.399
她明白, 学会放下, 反而才.
74
00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:54.409
She not only enjoyed the festive joy, but also made
75
00:09:54.470 --> 00:09:55.110
many friends.
76
00:09:55.110 --> 00:10:04.799
她明白, 学会放下, 反而才能走得更远。 She understood that learning to let go may take
77
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.519
her further. 李薇薇笑着看着小明, 谢谢你, 我过得很开心.
78
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.240
Smiling at Xiao Ming, she said, thank you, I had
79
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:11.600
a great time.
80
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:29.370
在那一刻。 At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of
81
00:10:29.470 --> 00:10:31.720
freedom and happiness welling up within her.
82
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:42.240

43
00:06:16.189 --> 00:06:39.930
was waiting for her, looking relaxed. Li Wei, 晚上去参加中秋节吧。 肖明说道。 Li Wei,
44
00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:41.689
let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight. 肖明 said。 Li Wei犹豫不决, 可是我还有许多功课要做。
45
00:06:41.629 --> 00:06:46.069
Li Wei hesitated, but I have so much homework to do.
46
00:06:46.069 --> 00:07:11.310
肖明笑了, 总是学习, 会错过很多乐趣。 Xiaoming laughed. If you only study, you'll miss out
47
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:20.160
on a lot of fun. 今晚我们去河边公园赏月, 放孔明灯。 Tonight, we can go
48
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.040
to the Riverside Park to enjoy the moon and release
49
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.040
Kongming lanterns.
50
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.180
肖明的话让李薇心动, 然而她又想起父母的期望和桌上未完成的作业。 Xiaoming's words moved Li Wei.
51
00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:41.939
Yet she also remembered her parents' expectations and the unfinished
52
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.079
assignments on her desk.
53
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.879
夜幕降临, 李薇坐在宿舍的书桌前, 面对堆积如山的笔迹, 心情沉重.
54
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.120
As night fell, Li Wei sat at her dormitory desk,
55
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:58.040
facing a mountain of notes, feeling heavy-hearted. 这时, 手机发来一条信息, 是肖明的邀请.
56
00:07:54.040 --> 00:08:13.959
快来, 大家都在等你。 Just then, her phone beeped with a message. It
57
00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:17.860
was an invitation from Xiaoming. Come quickly, everyone is waiting
58
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:24.600
for you. 李薇终究决定参加。 Li Wei eventually decided to join.
59
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:29.129
她带上了一盒月饼, 快不敢往河边公园。 She brought a box of mooncakes and hurried to
60
00:08:29.230 --> 00:08:30.430
the Riverside Park.
61
00:08:30.430 --> 00:08:50.690
那里灯火辉煌。 There, the lights were bright, classmates were laughing and chatting,
62
00:08:51.090 --> 00:08:54.169
the moon hung high in the night sky, illuminating everyone's
63
00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:55.049
smiling faces.
64
00:08:56.190 --> 00:09:00.309
When Li Wei released the Kong Ming lantern in her.
65
00:09:00.250 --> 00:09:10.690
Hand, It seemed as though the pressure inside her lifted
66
00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:11.669
into the air as well.
67
00:09:11.690 --> 00:09:18.009
She realized that life requires balance. While grades are important,
68
00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.549
the precious university time cannot be missed.
69
00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:42.149
In this way, Li Wei made a different choice on
70
00:09:42.169 --> 00:09:43.500
the mid-autumn festival night.
71
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:48.460
她不仅享受了节日的欢乐, 还交到了许多朋友。 She not only enjoyed the festive joy, but also
72
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.240
made many friends.
73
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:49.399
她明白, 学会放下, 反而才.
74
00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:54.409
She not only enjoyed the festive joy, but also made
75
00:09:54.470 --> 00:09:55.110
many friends.
76
00:09:55.110 --> 00:10:04.799
她明白, 学会放下, 反而才能走得更远。 She understood that learning to let go may take
77
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.519
her further. 李薇薇笑着看着小明, 谢谢你, 我过得很开心.
78
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.240
Smiling at Xiao Ming, she said, thank you, I had
79
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:11.600
a great time.
80
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:29.370
在那一刻。 At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of
81
00:10:29.470 --> 00:10:31.720
freedom and happiness welling up within her.
82
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:42.240
