在北京的冬天,天坛公园被白皑皑的雪覆盖,透着无尽的宁静。
In Beijing during the winter, Temple of Heaven Park is covered in a blanket of white snow, exuding an endless tranquility.
古老的建筑优雅地矗立着,红色的灯笼和传统的中国装饰点缀在灰蒙蒙的冬日中,把节日的气氛布满整个园区。
The ancient buildings stand elegantly, with red lanterns and traditional Chinese decorations adorning the gray winter days, filling the entire park with a festive atmosphere.
此时,三位主要人物一起策划一个中国新年庆祝活动。
At this time, three main characters were planning a Chinese New Year celebration together.
明华是一位拘谨严谨的活动策划师,心里藏着一个目标:要比去年办得更好。
Minghua is a meticulous and disciplined event planner with a goal hidden in his heart: to do better than last year.
灵是一名创意十足的设计师,他的设计风格总是出人意料。
Ling is a highly creative designer whose design style is always unexpected.
虽然常常拖到最后一刻完成,但他总能吸引住所有人的视线。
Although he often finishes at the last minute, he always manages to capture everyone's attention.
腴是志愿者协调员,他希望一切都完美无瑕,喜欢控制流程,然而对灵过于自由的想法感到不安。
Yu is the volunteer coordinator who hopes everything will be flawless and likes to control the process, yet feels uneasy about Ling's overly free ideas.
随着春节的脚步临近,他们坐在公园的小亭子中开会。
As the Spring Festival approaches, they sit in a small pavilion in the park to have a meeting.
明华打开笔记本,开始计划活动细节。
Minghua opens his notebook and begins planning the event details.
腴正在担心志愿者的安排是否会被灵的设计搞乱。
Yu is worried whether the volunteer arrangements will be disrupted by Ling's designs.
灵却兴奋地展示了一张新颖的设计草图。
Meanwhile, Ling excitedly presents a novel design sketch.
"天坛的草地上,我们可以用五颜六色的灯光投影龙和凤凰。"灵兴奋地说。
"On the grass of Temple of Heaven, we can use colorful lights to project dragons and phoenixes," Ling says excitedly.
腴皱起眉头:“这会不会太过激进?传统元素都在哪里呢?”
Yu frowns, "Wouldn't that be too radical? Where are the traditional elements?"
明华沉思良久。
Minghua ponders for a long time.
去年他们遵循传统路线,但今年的目标是突破。
Last year, they followed a traditional route, but this year's goal is to break through.
而灵的提议似乎是个大胆的选择。
And Ling's proposal seems like a bold choice.
经过几次讨论,明华决定给灵一个机会。
After several discussions, Minghua decides to give Ling a chance.
也许创新和传统可以结合起来。
Perhaps innovation and tradition can be combined.
时间一天天过去,终于来到最后的彩排日。
Days pass by, and finally, it's the day of the final rehearsal.
灵的设计果然夺人眼球:五光十色的灯光洒在雪地上,仿佛龙和凤凰在空中翱翔。
Indeed, Ling's design is eye-catching: colorful lights cast over the snowy ground as if dragons and phoenixes are soaring in the sky.
但是,结构安排却出现了问题,灯光设备没有按预期安装,整个场地一片混乱。
However, there were problems with the setup; the lighting equipment was not installed as expected, and the entire venue was in chaos.
眼看活动即将开始,明华冷静下来,经过一番思考,他想到了一个折衷方案。
Seeing that the event is about to start, Minghua calms down, and after some thought, he comes up with a compromise.
他在灯光设计中增加了一些传统的红灯笼,以平衡视觉效果。
He adds some traditional red lanterns to the lighting design to balance the visual effect.
腴迅速协调人手调整布置,大家齐心协力,终于顺利完成了准备工作。
Yu quickly coordinates people to adjust the setup, and everyone works together, finally completing the preparations smoothly.
活动的那天夜晚,灯光和灯笼交相辉映,吸引了无数人驻足观赏。
On the night of the event, the lights and lanterns complement each other, attracting countless people who stop to admire them.
闪烁的光影和古老的建筑完美结合,游客们欢笑着拍照留念。
The flickering lights and ancient buildings combine perfectly, as visitors laugh and take pictures to capture the memories.
最终,明华意识到创新与传统并不矛盾,它们可以和谐共存,使得这个中国新年庆祝活动成为一次难忘的体验。
In the end, Minghua realizes that innovation and tradition are not contradictory; they can coexist harmoniously, making this Chinese New Year celebration an unforgettable experience.
有关创新的体会也让他对未来的策划工作充满了信心。
The insights on innovation also fill him with confidence for future planning.
