秋天的早晨，筛满了金黄色的阳光。

On an autumn morning, the sunshine filtered in golden throughout.

落叶在风中轻轻地旋转，像是大自然在悄声地变换舞步。

Leaves swirled gently in the wind, as if nature was silently changing its dance steps.

这一天是亡灵节，在一个挂满万寿菊和彩色剪纸的投票点，李华、伟和梅一同排队等待投票。

This day was the Day of the Dead, and at a polling place adorned with marigolds and colorful paper cuttings, Li Hua, Wei, and Mei were standing in line, waiting to vote.

李华站在人群中，心里却并不平静。

Li Hua stood among the crowd, but her heart was not at peace.

最近，医生告诉她要做一个重要的医疗检查。

Recently, the doctor had told her she needed to undergo an important medical test.

她一直在等待结果，心里充满了不安。

She had been waiting for the results, with her heart filled with unease.

可是，她知道今天必须来投票。

However, she knew she had to come to vote today.

作为一个社区的一员，她希望自己的选票能够带来变化。

As a member of the community, she hoped her ballot would bring about change.

“李华，你还好吗？

"Li Hua, are you okay?"

”伟关切地问。

Wei asked with concern.

伟是李华的好朋友，总是能感受到她的情绪变化。

Wei is Li Hua's good friend and always seems able to sense her emotional changes.

“我没事的，谢谢你，伟。

"I'm fine, thank you, Wei."

”李华微笑着回答，但声音中透着一丝不安。

Li Hua replied with a smile, but there was a hint of unease in her voice.

线慢慢地移动，李华尽量让自己不去想着那些可能的结果。

The line moved slowly, and Li Hua tried not to think about the possible outcomes.

她努力去体会周围的氛围。

She made an effort to take in the surroundings.

万寿菊的香味与剪纸的彩色图案交织在一起，充满节日气息，让人感受到生命与死亡的轮回。

The scent of marigolds intertwined with the colorful patterns of the paper cuttings, full of festive spirit, making one feel the cycle of life and death.

就在李华站在投票箱前准备填写选票时，她的手机突然响了。

Just as Li Hua stood before the ballot box, ready to fill out her ballot, her phone suddenly rang.

是医生的电话。

It was a call from the doctor.

她的心跳加速，手指微微颤抖。

Her heartbeat quickened, and her fingers trembled slightly.

接，还是不接？

To answer, or not to answer?

李华深深吸了一口气，决定先专注当下。

Li Hua took a deep breath, deciding to focus on the present moment first.

她将手机调成静音，小心地填完选票，这一刻，她把所有的焦虑暂时搁置一旁。

She put her phone on silent mode and carefully completed her ballot, momentarily setting aside all her anxieties.

投票结束，她心中感到了一种未曾有过的平静。

After voting, she felt a kind of peace she had never experienced before.

走出投票站后，李华终于拿起手机，听了语音留言。

After stepping out of the polling station, Li Hua finally picked up her phone and listened to the voicemail.

无论结果如何，她都知道今天已经完成了一件重要的事情。

No matter the result, she knew she had accomplished something important today.

通过这样的方式，她为自己和他人的未来贡献了一份力量。

Through this act, she contributed a part of her strength to the future of herself and others.

李华抬头望着天空，阳光穿过树叶洒下斑驳的光影。

Li Hua looked up at the sky, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

她感受到一种坚韧的力量，这力量来自于内心的安定，以及对社区的责任感。

She felt a resilient strength, a strength that came from inner peace and a sense of responsibility to the community.

投票站外，梅笑着对李华说：“走吧，庆祝一下今天的胜利。

Outside the polling station, Mei smiled at Li Hua and said, "Let's go celebrate today's victory."

”李华点点头，微笑着走进秋天的阳光里，心中满是希望。

Li Hua nodded and smiled, stepping into the autumn sunlight with her heart full of hope.
