Story Transcript:
Zh: 明亮的圆月挂在天空，洒下银色的光辉。
En: A bright full moon hung in the sky, casting a silvery glow.
Zh: 湖面像一面镜子，倒映出红色和金色的树叶。
En: The lake surface resembled a mirror, reflecting the red and golden leaves.
Zh: 这里是月明湖公园，灯笼高挂，家家户户都在欢庆中秋节。
En: This is Yueminghu Park, where lanterns hang high, and every household is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zh: 小明走在铺满落叶的小路上，心里翻腾着旧时的记忆。
En: Xiaoming walked along the leaf-covered path, with old memories stirring in his heart.
Zh: 他想到自己多年前对丽芬的一个承诺，那是在这同样的月下，他说过要在中秋节一起赏月。
En: He recalled a promise he made to Lifen years ago under this same moon, saying they would enjoy the moon together during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zh: 但是，他渐渐忘记了这个承诺，直到最近才想起。
En: However, he gradually forgot about this promise until recently.
Zh: 丽芬是个乐观的人，她总是珍惜传统，喜爱与朋友与家人团聚。
En: Lifen is an optimistic person who always cherishes traditions and loves to gather with friends and family.
Zh: 而臻则总是带着怀疑态度，他常常思考过去的承诺是否真的重要。
En: Meanwhile, Zhen is often skeptical, frequently pondering whether past promises truly matter.
Zh: 小明一路走向月明湖公园，心里拿不定主意。
En: Xiaoming walked toward Yueminghu Park, uncertain in his heart.
Zh: 这个承诺还有意义吗？
En: Does this promise still hold significance?
Zh: 他觉得困惑，但最终，还是决定去参加中秋节的聚会。
En: He felt confused, but ultimately decided to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering.
Zh: 公园里的气氛很热闹，孩子们手上拿着灯笼，跑跑跳跳。
En: The park was buzzing with excitement; children holding lanterns were running and jumping around.
Zh: 小明从人群中找到了丽芬和臻。
En: Xiaoming found Lifen and Zhen in the crowd.
Zh: 他深吸一口气，走上前去。
En: He took a deep breath and approached them.
Zh: “丽芬，臻，”他说道，“我有件事想告诉你们。
En: "Lifen, Zhen," he said, "I have something to tell you.
Zh: 我最近想起，曾经答应过要和你们一起过中秋。
En: I recently remembered I once promised to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."
Zh: ”丽芬笑了，温暖地说道：“小明，不必自责。
En: Lifen smiled warmly and said, "Xiaoming, there's no need to blame yourself.
Zh: 我们能在一起，就是最好的。
En: Us being together is the best."
Zh: ”臻也点头道：“对的，不管过去如何，今天我们又在一起了。
En: Zhen nodded as well, "That's right, no matter the past, today we are together again."
Zh: ”小明感受到了久违的温暖。
En: Xiaoming felt a long-lost warmth.
Zh: 他们坐在湖边，分享月饼，天上的月亮静静地看着他们，见证这美好的时刻。
En: They sat by the lakeside, sharing mooncakes, with the moon above quietly watching over them, witnessing this beautiful moment.
Zh: 这个中秋夜，小明明白了承诺的真正意义。
En: On this Mid-Autumn night, Xiaoming understood the true meaning of promises.
Zh: 它们不只是简单的话语，而是把人们的心再次连结的桥梁。
En: They are not just simple words, but bridges reconnecting people's hearts.
Zh: 他心头轻松，决定更珍惜身边的朋友。
En: He felt relieved and decided to cherish his friends more.
Zh: 在宁静的湖边，他们仰望星空，心中充满希望和温馨的团聚感。
En: By the tranquil lakeside, they gazed at the starry sky, filled with hope and a warm sense of reunion.
Zh: 小明内心的改变，为这个中秋增添了一层特别的意义。
