在成都的一个春天,有一个地方总是充满了咖啡的香气。
In a springtime in Chengdu, there was a place always filled with the aroma of coffee.
那是一个温馨的咖啡烘焙店,墙壁是红砖砌成的,窗子宽大,外面可以看见开满樱花的小街。
It was a cozy coffee roasting shop, with walls made of red bricks and large windows through which you could see a small street full of blooming cherry blossoms.
这一天,天气有些凉,还有点拥挤。
On this day, the weather was a bit cool and somewhat crowded.
简,一个喜欢摄影的年轻人,正站在吧台前排队。
Jian, a young photography enthusiast, was standing in line at the bar counter.
他来成都是为了寻找新项目的灵感,但是一切似乎都变得很困难。
He had come to Chengdu to seek inspiration for a new project, but everything seemed to have become difficult.
他的心情有些沉重,因为一直找不到合适的拍摄对象。
He felt a bit heavy-hearted because he couldn't find a suitable subject for his photography.
此时,一个女孩走进了咖啡店。
At this moment, a girl walked into the coffee shop.
她叫梅,是本地的作家,正在寻找灵感完成她的新小说。
Her name was Mei, a local writer, looking for inspiration to complete her new novel.
尽管对创作充满热情,但她同样感到迷茫。
Although she was passionate about creating, she also felt lost.
两人都在寻找,但似乎都卡在了一个相似的地方。
Both were searching, but seemed stuck in a similar place.
人群中,简注意到了紧随其来的梅。
In the crowd, Jian noticed Mei, who had arrived shortly after.
她同样在等咖啡。
She was also waiting for coffee.
简犹豫了一会儿,鼓起勇气开口:“你好,我是简。
Jian hesitated for a while, and then gathered the courage to speak: "Hello, I'm Jian.
你也是来找灵感的吗?
Are you also here looking for inspiration?"
”梅似乎有些惊讶,但还是微笑着回答:“是的,我叫梅。
Mei seemed a bit surprised but smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm Mei.
我在写一本小说,但是写到了瓶颈。
I'm writing a novel, but I've hit a bottleneck."
”简对这个回答产生了共鸣。
Jian resonated with her response.
他告诉梅,自己也是如此,他们慢慢聊起了城市和摄影。
He told Mei that he was experiencing the same, and they gradually started chatting about the city and photography.
梅对简摄影的想法感兴趣,而简对梅的写作故事也颇有好奇。
Mei became interested in Jian's photography ideas, and Jian was quite curious about Mei's writing stories.
两个人如同找到了共同的语言。
It was as if they had found a common language.
就在此时,店外突然下起了大雨。
Just at this moment, it suddenly started raining heavily outside the shop.
两人一起跑到了咖啡店外的雨棚下避雨。
They both ran to the awning outside the coffee shop to shelter from the rain.
在雨声的伴奏下,他们的交谈逐渐深入。
Accompanied by the sound of the rain, their conversation gradually deepened.
梅坦诚地分享了她的创作困惑,而简则诉说了他对照片的期待。
Mei candidly shared her creative dilemmas, while Jian expressed his expectations for his photographs.
两人发现彼此在创作上的困难竟有相似之处。
They discovered that they faced similar difficulties in their creative endeavors.
随着雨停,简和梅都感觉到内心的负担减轻了不少。
As the rain stopped, both Jian and Mei felt that the burden in their hearts had lightened considerably.
他们决定交换联系方式,以后一起分享更多想法和灵感。
They decided to exchange contact information and share more ideas and inspirations in the future.
这次偶然的相遇,让简开始相信和更多人分享他的旅程可以带来新的灵感;而梅也找到了信心,敢于更大胆地披露自己的创作过程。
This chance encounter made Jian begin to believe that sharing his journey with more people could bring new inspiration; and Mei found the confidence to boldly disclose her creative process.
在樱花与咖啡香气中,他们各自感到焕然一新,准备重新投入各自的创作世界。
Amid the cherry blossoms and the aroma of coffee, they each felt revitalized, ready to plunge back into their own creative worlds.
