南京大学的校园在冬日里，一片宁静的白雪覆盖着。

Nanjing University’s campus is covered in a serene blanket of white snow during the winter.

她的校园浑然天成，处处充满了低调的诗意。

Her campus appears naturally beautiful, filled everywhere with understated poetic charm.

几束暗黄的路灯把寂寥的街道照亮，温暖而明亮的灯光流泄在一旁的书架上，映照出书本的影子。

A few dim yellow street lights illuminate the desolate streets, and the warm and bright light spills onto the bookshelves on the side, casting shadows of the books.

明是这里的一名勤奋大学生，他每天都在努力学习，为了取得优异成绩并获得奖学金。

Ming is a diligent student here; he studies hard every day to achieve excellent grades and obtain a scholarship.

这几天，他忙于准备期末考试，一边翻阅着厚厚的课本，一边做着笔记。

These days, he is busy preparing for his final exams, both perusing thick textbooks and taking notes.

他的朋友李却截然不同。

His friend Li, on the other hand, is quite different.

李总是随性而为，常常招呼明去休息放松。

Li always goes with the flow, often urging Ming to take a break and relax.

即将到来的新年夜，是学生们期盼已久的时光。

The upcoming New Year's Eve is a time long-awaited by the students.

但对于明来说，这却是一个两难的选择。

But for Ming, it presents a dilemma.

他知道很快就必须在欢庆的阵容中抽身而出，继续准备他的重要考试。

He knows he will soon have to withdraw from the celebratory crowd to continue preparing for his important exam.

随着时间的流逝，明的压力越来越大，他甚至开始感受到隐约的焦虑。

As time passes, Ming's stress grows; he even begins to feel a vague anxiety.

新年夜的喧嚣声似乎也不断刺激着他的神经。

The sounds of New Year's Eve festivities seem to constantly stimulate his nerves.

这天晚上，他在书桌前奋战到深夜，疲惫不堪地趴在课本上，却不小心进入梦乡。

That night, he works at his desk into the late hours, exhaustedly resting his head on his textbook, inadvertently falling asleep.

当明醒来时，外面传来鞭炮的响声，钟声也在耳边敲响。

When Ming wakes up, the sound of firecrackers and the ringing of bells reach his ears.

他惊慌地看着钟表，不知所措。

He looks at the clock in panic, not knowing what to do.

是继续留在寝室补习，还是加入李的行列，体验一下新年的狂欢？

Should he stay in his dorm to continue studying or join Li and experience a bit of New Year’s revelry?

李走进来，微微笑着说：“明，走吧，大家都在等你。”

Li walks in with a slight smile and says, "Ming, come on, everyone is waiting for you."

经过一番思索，明决定放下笔，穿上外套，随着李走出寝室。

After some thought, Ming decides to put down his pen, put on his coat, and follow Li out of the dorm.

在寒冷的空气中，他忽然感到一阵轻松。

In the cold air, he suddenly feels a sense of relief.

他来到校园中心，和朋友们站在一起，看着漫天的烟火，心中渐渐释然。

He goes to the center of the campus, stands with his friends, watching the fireworks fill the sky, and gradually feels at ease.

新年钟声敲响，明感受到了一种久违的平和。

As the New Year’s bells toll, Ming experiences a long-lost sense of tranquility.

他明白，适度的放松有助于缓解压力，让大脑更清晰地去迎接挑战。

He understands that moderate relaxation can help relieve stress and allow the mind to face challenges more clearly.

回到书桌前，明的心态变得平稳。

Returning to his desk, Ming feels calm.

他学会了在努力学习和自我放松之间寻找平衡，

He learns to find a balance between hard work and self-relaxation.

这次新年，他不仅找到了放松的方式，也为来年的挑战储备了新的动力。

This New Year, he not only found a way to relax but also stored up new energy for the challenges of the coming year.

通过这种调整，他认识到勤奋固然重要，但明智地放松也是成功不可或缺的一部分。

Through this adjustment, he realizes that diligence is important, but wise relaxation is also an indispensable part of success.
