Story Transcript:

Zh: 在一个秋日的下午,明亮的阳光穿过红色和金色的秋叶,洒在一片古老的遗迹上。
En: On an autumn afternoon, bright sunlight filtered through the red and golden autumn leaves, casting a glow over an ancient ruin.

Zh: 今天,梅、健和亮与他们的同班同学来到这里进行一次学校秋游。
En: Today, Mei, Jian, and Liang joined their classmates for a school autumn outing here.

Zh: 这片遗迹被称为“古城遗址”,据说曾是一个繁荣的古代文明的所在地。
En: This ruin, known as the Ancient City Ruins, is said to have once been the site of a thriving ancient civilization.

Zh: 亮老师站在一根古老的石柱旁,讲述着关于这片遗迹的传说。
En: Teacher Liang stood beside an old stone pillar, narrating the legends surrounding these ruins.

Zh: 据说,在这片废墟的某处,藏有一卷古老的卷轴,上面记录了古代王国失落的秘密。
En: It is said that somewhere in these ruins, an ancient scroll is hidden, recording the lost secrets of the ancient kingdom.

Zh: 梅不禁露出怀疑的神情,“真有这个传说吗?”她轻声问。
En: Mei couldn't help but show a skeptical expression, “Is there really such a legend?” she asked softly.

Zh: 天色渐渐暗下来,皓月当空。
En: The sky gradually darkened, with the bright moon overhead.

Zh: 今晚是中秋节,一个象征团圆和传说的夜晚。
En: Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a night symbolizing reunion and legend.

Zh: 梅心里冒出一个想法,她决定今晚要一探虚实,找出传说的真相。
En: A thought emerged in Mei's mind, and she decided to explore the truth behind the legend tonight.

Zh: 尽管她的同学们都表现得很怀疑,但她毅然决然。
En: Although her classmates were all skeptical, she was resolute.

Zh: 深夜里,梅偷偷溜出帐篷,穿过满是枯叶的小径,步入遗迹深处。
En: In the dead of night, Mei quietly slipped out of the tent, walked along the path covered in dead leaves, and ventured into the depths of the ruins.

Zh: 月光洒在破败的石柱上,给这座古老的遗址蒙上一层神秘的面纱。
En: Moonlight bathed the crumbling stone pillars, shrouding the ancient site in a mysterious veil.

Zh: 很快,梅来到了一个被禁止进入的区域。
En: Soon, Mei arrived at a forbidden area.

Zh: 微光中,她发现一个隐秘的入口。
En: In the dim light, she discovered a hidden entrance.

Zh: 走进这个入口,梅发现了一间隐藏的房间,墙上布满了古老的壁画和符号。
En: Entering this passage, Mei found a hidden room, its walls covered with ancient murals and symbols.

Zh: 在房间的角落里,她兴奋地找到了一些封尘的卷轴。
En: In the corner of the room, she excitedly found some dusty scrolls.

Zh: 激动的梅急切地打开一卷,卷轴上的文字虽然古老,但足以证明传说的真实存在。
En: Excitedly, she opened one, and although the text was ancient, it was enough to prove the legend's existence.

Zh: 第二天,梅将她的发现告诉了亮老师和健。
En: The next day, Mei told Teacher Liang and Jian about her discovery.

Zh: 亮老师惊喜不已,决定立即向考古学界报告,进行更深入的研究。
En: Teacher Liang was pleasantly surprised and decided to immediately report to the archaeological community for further research.

Zh: 健则对梅刮目相看,从此两人成了探险的好搭档。
En: Jian looked at Mei in a new light, and from then on, they became great adventure partners.

Zh: 通过这次小小的冒险,梅开始相信历史是一个个鲜活的故事,充满了奇妙的传说和不可思议的奥秘。
En: Through this small adventure, Mei began to believe that history is a collection of vivid stories, filled with wonderful legends and incredible mysteries.

Zh: 这个中秋节,月亮格外明亮,梅的心情如同天上的月亮一样,圆满而明亮。
En: This Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was exceptionally bright, and Mei's mood was as complete and bright as the moon in the sky.

Zh: 故事就在月光下与秋叶中流传下去,成为新的传说。
En: The story continued to spread under the moonlight and among the autumn leaves, becoming a new legend.
