Story Transcript:
Zh: 李伟站在意大利的阿马尔菲海岸，眺望着大海。
En: Li Wei stood on the Italy Amalfi Coast, gazing at the sea.
Zh: 秋天的阳光洒在湛蓝的海水上，闪烁着波光粼粼。
En: The autumn sunlight scattered on the azure waters, shimmering with glittering waves.
Zh: 他是个精细的活动策划师，这次来这儿是为了组织一个国际商业会议。
En: He is a meticulous event planner, and this time he was here to organize an international business conference.
Zh: 会议在一个俯瞰海岸的小镇办。
En: The conference was held in a small town overlooking the coast.
Zh: 景色怡人，但李伟的心情却如这变幻无常的天气，时而晴朗，时而阴云密布。
En: The scenery was pleasant, but Li Wei's mood was as unpredictable as the changing weather—sometimes bright, sometimes cloudy.
Zh: 作为一个无可挑剔的策划师，他知道有许多挑战等待着他。
En: As an impeccable planner, he knew there were many challenges awaiting him.
Zh: 时差、语言障碍以及文化冲突，全都让他感到有些不安。
En: Jet lag, language barriers, and cultural conflicts all made him feel a bit uneasy.
Zh: 然而，真正让李伟牵挂的，是远在家乡的节日——排灯节（Diwali）。
En: However, what truly concerned Li Wei was the festival far away in his hometown—Diwali.
Zh: 李伟深知他需用心策划这个会议，也希望能将排灯节的元素融入其中，给与会者带来特别的体验，同时也借此慰藉自己思乡的情绪。
En: Li Wei understood that he needed to plan this conference with care, and he also hoped to incorporate elements of Diwali into it, providing a special experience for the attendees while comforting his own homesickness.
Zh: 小梅和陈露是李伟的同事，他们一起负责布置会场。
En: Xiaomei and Chen Lu were Li Wei's colleagues, and they were responsible for setting up the venue together.
Zh: 当李伟提出要在会议中加入排灯节的灯光仪式时，小梅露出惊讶的神情。
En: When Li Wei proposed to include the Diwali lighting ceremony in the conference, Xiaomei showed a surprised expression.
Zh: 陈露提议用小彩灯和蜡烛布置会场入口，营造节日气氛。
En: Chen Lu suggested decorating the venue entrance with small colorful lights and candles to create a festive atmosphere.
Zh: 小梅还建议在欢迎晚宴上增加一些印度传统的美食作为点缀。
En: Xiaomei also recommended adding some traditional Indian dishes at the welcome dinner as a touch.
Zh: 大家都很支持李伟的想法，这让他感到十分欣慰。
En: Everyone supported Li Wei's idea, which made him feel very gratified.
Zh: 会议的前一天晚上，海上的风暴打乱了计划。
En: The night before the conference, a storm over the sea disrupted the plans.
Zh: 狂风暴雨中，李伟既担心活动的顺利进行，也担心无法完成他精心策划的灯光仪式。
En: Amidst the strong winds and heavy rain, Li Wei worried about the smooth proceedings of the event and whether he could complete his carefully planned lighting ceremony.
Zh: 就在这时，风突然减弱，雨也渐渐停了下来。
En: Just then, the wind suddenly weakened, and the rain gradually stopped.
Zh: 李伟与小梅、陈露立刻行动，把会场入口装饰得美丽而温馨。
En: Li Wei, Xiaomei, and Chen Lu immediately got to work, decorating the venue entrance beautifully and warmly.
Zh: 会议当天，金色的阳光洒在阿马尔菲海岸，海风轻拂。
En: On the day of the conference, golden sunlight sprinkled over the Amalfi Coast with a gentle sea breeze.
Zh: 灯光仪式终于顺利开始，李伟点燃了一盏盏彩灯，柔和的光辉照亮了整个会场。
En: The lighting ceremony finally began smoothly, and Li Wei lit colorful lamps, the soft glow illuminating the entire venue.
Zh: 他的客户们被这场特别的欢迎仪式深深吸引，纷纷拍手称赞。
En: His clients were deeply captivated by this special welcome ceremony, applauding in praise.
Zh: 李伟站在一旁，看着灯火，他感受到一种从未有过的内心平和。
En: Li Wei stood aside, watching the lights, and felt a peace he had never experienced before.
Zh: 会议圆满结束，李伟成功地将自己的文化传统与工作生活融为一体。
En: The conference concluded successfully, and Li Wei successfully integrated his cultural traditions with his work life.
Zh: 他意识到，他不必非得在家乡才能感受节日的温暖，不论身处何地，他都可以凭自己的方式与传统相连。
En: He realized he didn't have to be in his hometown to feel the warmth of the festival; no matter where he was, he could connect with his traditions in his own way.
Zh: 李伟望着海岸，一种自豪感油然而生。
En: Li Wei looked at the coast, a sense of pride welling up inside him.
Zh: 他知道，无论在何处，他都能让家乡的灯火照亮远方的路，让文化成为连接一切的桥梁。
En: He knew that no matter where he was, he could let the lights of his hometown illuminate the road ahead, making culture a bridge that connects everything.
