紫禁城的夏天, 天空湛蓝，阳光灿烂。

The summer at the Forbidden City featured a clear blue sky and brilliant sunshine.

美、欣和晨，三个表兄妹并肩走在宫殿间，假扮成普通游客。

Mei, Xin, and Chen, three cousins, walked side by side among the palaces, pretending to be ordinary tourists.

美是个冒险的女孩，总是寻求刺激。

Mei was an adventurous girl, always seeking thrills.

这次，她的目标是一个私人区域，完成抖音挑战。

This time, her target was a restricted area to complete a TikTok challenge.

欣是个谨慎的人，总想保护大家，但也想证明自己可以很有趣。

Xin was a cautious person who always wanted to protect everyone but also wanted to prove she could be fun.

晨是个技术达人，喜欢社交媒体，这次挑战正是他的主意。

Chen was a tech whiz who loved social media; this challenge was his idea.

美兴奋地说道：“我们一定要拍个爆红的视频！”

Mei excitedly said, "We have to film a viral video!"

欣犹豫地看着她，“但那是私人区域，被抓可麻烦了。”

Xin looked at her hesitantly, "But that's a restricted area, getting caught could cause trouble."

晨笑着说：“别担心，我已经查到警卫的巡逻时间了。我们只要小心点就行。”

Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already checked the guards' patrol times. We just need to be careful."

他们三人穿越人群，向禁区走去。

The three of them wove through the crowd towards the forbidden zone.

紫禁城的建筑雄伟壮丽，雕刻精美的宫墙和静谧的庭院，散发着古老的魅力。

The buildings of the Forbidden City were grand and magnificent, with exquisitely carved palace walls and serene courtyards, exuding an ancient charm.

他们找到一个无人看守的小门。

They found a small, unattended gate.

晨拿出手机，点开抖音直播。

Chen took out his phone and opened a TikTok live stream.

“大家好，我们现在在紫禁城，准备挑战私人区域！”他说道。

"Hi everyone, we're at the Forbidden City, about to challenge a restricted area!" he said.

美深吸一口气，拉着欣进了门。

Mei took a deep breath and pulled Xin through the door.

欣小声嘀咕：“这太冒险了。”

Xin murmured softly, "This is too risky."

他们顺着小路，进入一个安静的庭院。

They followed a small path into a quiet courtyard.

美举起手机，激动地开始录视频。

Mei lifted her phone, excitedly starting to record the video.

就在这时，突然有一个警卫出现在他们面前。

Just then, a guard suddenly appeared in front of them.

三人惊慌失措，停住了脚步。

The three of them panicked and froze in place.

警卫慢吞吞地走近，露出一个笑容：“你们这么大胆啊，不怕被抓吗？”

The guard slowly approached with a smile, "You kids are quite bold, aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

美吞了吞口水，“我们只是想拍个视频。”

Mei swallowed hard, "We just wanted to film a video."

警卫哈哈大笑，“我也是抖音的粉丝，别怕。我可以帮你们完成挑战，但是要小心。”

The guard laughed heartily, "I'm a fan of TikTok too. Don't worry. I can help you complete the challenge, but be careful."

三人又惊又喜，连忙感谢警卫的好意。

The three were both surprised and delighted, quickly thanking the guard for his kindness.

在警卫的帮助下，他们顺利完成了挑战，并拍到了那段完美的抖音视频。

With the guard's help, they successfully completed the challenge and filmed the perfect TikTok video.

事件过后，美意识到，不必通过冒险来赢得别人的认可。

After the incident, Mei realized that she didn't need to take risks to gain others' approval.

欣也发现，冒险是可以安全地进行的。

Xin discovered that adventures could be conducted safely.

晨则明白了，网上的名气需要与现实中的安全和责任并重。

Chen understood that online fame should be balanced with real-world safety and responsibility.

他们回到人群中，心中充满了感激和满足。

They returned to the crowd, their hearts filled with gratitude and satisfaction.

那个夏天的紫禁城，不仅给了他们一个难忘的回忆，还教会了他们许多。

That summer at the Forbidden City not only gave them an unforgettable memory but also taught them many valuable lessons.
