Story Transcript:

Zh: 中秋节的晚上，张伟、刘梅和一群朋友聚在一起庆祝这个传统的节日。他们来到一个宽敞的花园，把桌子和椅子摆在草地上，准备享受一顿美食和烟火的盛宴。
En: On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Wei, Liu Mei and a group of friends gathered to celebrate this traditional festival. They came to a spacious garden, put tables and chairs on the grass, and prepared to enjoy a feast of food and fireworks.

Zh: 华灯初上，夜幕降临，朋友们围坐在一起，畅谈着往事和梦想。桌上摆满了各式各样的美食，月饼和糖果洒满了桌布。
En: When the lights come on and night falls, friends sit around and talk about the past and dreams. The table is covered with all kinds of delicacies, and moon cakes and candies are sprinkled all over the tablecloth.

Zh: 正当大家享受着美食的时候，刘梅突然灵机一动，拿出一根巨大的烟花，大家的目光都聚焦在她身上。她微笑着，骄傲地接过一根长长的导火线。大家的期待感弥漫着整个花园。"好了，准备好了吗？"她问道。众人兴奋地点头。
En: While everyone was enjoying the delicious food, Liu Mei suddenly had an idea and took out a huge firework, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. Smiling, she proudly took a long fuse. Everyone's sense of anticipation pervades the entire garden. "Okay, are you ready?" she asked. Everyone nodded excitedly.

Zh: 张伟忍不住调侃道："要不要先预留个谁被烟火炸到的位置？"大家哈哈大笑，不一会儿，整个花园都充满了欢声笑语和期待的气氛。
En: Zhang Wei couldn't help but joked: "Should I reserve a place for someone to be blown up by the fireworks?" Everyone laughed, and after a while, the whole garden was filled with laughter and an atmosphere of anticipation.

Zh: 刘梅点燃了烟花的一端，把它扔向天空。场景瞬间炫目而壮观，彩色的烟花绽放在漆黑的夜空中，点亮了每一个人的笑脸。
En: Liu Mei lit one end of the firework and threw it into the sky. The scene was dazzling and spectacular in an instant. Colorful fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, lighting up everyone's smiling faces.

Zh: 然而，就在刘梅拿起相机准备拍摄美丽瞬间的时候，她突然惊讶地发现烟花的导火线点燃的另一端快速烧到了她的脚边。"糟糕！"她大叫一声，紧急退后，试图躲避烟花的喷射。众人的笑声立刻停止，所有人都目瞪口呆地看着眼前的景象。
En: However, just when Liu Mei picked up the camera and was about to capture the beautiful moment, she was suddenly surprised to find that the lit other end of the firework's fuse quickly burned to her feet. "Oops!" she yelled, backing away, trying to avoid the jet of fireworks. Everyone's laughter stopped immediately, and everyone stared at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.

Zh: 刘梅下意识地跳到一边，但是烟花已经在她周围爆炸了。幸运的是，刘梅并没有受伤，但她的衣服和头发被灼伤了一些。其他人看得目瞪口呆，然后忍不住笑出了声。
En: Liu Mei subconsciously jumped aside, but the fireworks had already exploded around her. Fortunately, Liu Mei was not injured, but her clothes and hair were slightly burned. The others were dumbfounded, and then couldn't help laughing.

Zh: "哈哈哈！刘梅，你就是我们这个关卡的失败者啊！"张伟开玩笑地说。刘梅脸红耳赤地看着大家，也不得不笑了起来。她把自己的烟花事故当成了一个笑话，大家也开始轮流拿着手机拍摄这个爆笑瞬间。
En: "Hahaha! Liu Mei, you are the loser of our level!" Zhang Wei said jokingly. Liu Mei looked at everyone with a red face and couldn't help laughing. She treated her firework accident as a joke, and everyone took turns holding their phones to film the hilarious moment.

Zh: 晚上继续下去，大家享受着美食和欢笑，一起玩耍。这个小小的烟花事故成了大家聚在一起的一个共同的笑话，大家将它视为这个中秋夜的特殊记忆。
En: The evening continued with good food, laughter and fun. This small firework accident became a common joke when everyone got together, and everyone regarded it as a special memory of this mid-autumn night.

Zh: 当晚，他们一起观赏了绚丽的烟花表演，每一个花束、每一声声爆炸都让他们有种深刻的震撼。他们欢笑、感慨，一起渡过了一个难忘的中秋节。
En: That night, they watched the gorgeous fireworks show together, and they were deeply shocked by every bouquet and every explosion. They laughed, sighed, and spent an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Zh: 最后，当烟花在夜空中消失时，张伟拍了拍刘梅的肩膀。"刘梅，尽管我们的关卡非常简单，但你已经凭借你的勇敢和幽默精神成功地完成了它。"他笑着说道。
En: Finally, when the fireworks disappeared in the night sky, Zhang Wei patted Liu Mei on the shoulder. "Liu Mei, although our level is very simple, you have successfully completed it with your bravery and sense of humor," he said with a smile.

Zh: 刘梅微笑着向大家道别，她知道，这个中秋节，她不仅和朋友们分享了美食和欢笑，还经历了一个难忘的冒险故事，烟花的明灭不停地在她心中飞舞着。
En: Liu Mei said goodbye to everyone with a smile. She knew that this Mid-Autumn Festival, she not only shared delicious food and laughter with her friends, but also experienced an unforgettable adventure story. The on and off of fireworks kept dancing in her heart.
