湄公大街上，红灯笼在寒风中轻轻摇曳，空气中弥漫着春节的热闹气息。

On Meigong Avenue, red lanterns sway gently in the cold wind, and the air is filled with the lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

丽江古城，冬天的阳光温柔地洒在那石铺的小巷里。

In the Lijiang Ancient Town, winter sunlight softly bathes the stone-paved alleys.

李伟、梅玲和金浩是高中的好朋友，他们参加了一次特别的学校旅行，目的地就是这座古老而美丽的城镇。

Li Wei, Mei Ling, and Jin Hao are good friends from high school, and they are on a special school trip to this ancient and beautiful town.

李伟非常喜欢传统文化和建筑，但他性格内向，总是默默观赏。

Li Wei is very fond of traditional culture and architecture, but his introverted nature means he always observes in silence.

今天，他的目标是了解尽可能多的历史建筑，特别是它们的文化意义。

Today, his goal is to learn as much as possible about historical buildings, particularly their cultural significance.

然而，春节假期的人群让古城更加拥挤，游客们的欢声笑语淹没了李伟想要安静观察的愿望。

However, the holiday crowds during the Spring Festival make the ancient town even more crowded, and the cheerful laughter of the tourists drowns out Li Wei's wish for quiet observation.

“我要单独去看看。”李伟决定。

"I want to go look on my own," Li Wei decided.

他告诉梅玲和金浩自己想走一会儿，仔细看看那些老房子。

He told Mei Ling and Jin Hao that he wanted to walk around and take a closer look at the old houses.

他们都点头支持。

They nodded in support.

于是，李伟迈开脚步，走进了一条安静的小巷。

So, Li Wei began to walk, entering a quiet alley.

街角处，一个隐蔽的小院吸引了李伟的注意。

At the street corner, a secluded courtyard caught Li Wei's attention.

那里没有人声，老柳树在微风中轻轻摇曳，木雕的窗格透露出古色古香的韵味。

There was no sound of people; an old willow swayed gently in the breeze, and the carved wooden window lattices revealed an antique charm.

李伟心中一动，他轻轻推开院门，走了进去。

Li Wei felt a stir in his heart, and he gently pushed open the courtyard gate and walked inside.

院子里，一个老人正在修补一件老旧的木雕。

In the courtyard, an elderly man was mending an old wooden carving.

老人面容慈祥，笑着看向李伟。

The old man had a kindly face and smiled at Li Wei.

他是镇上的老匠人，专注于传统工艺。

He was an old craftsman in the town, dedicated to traditional crafts.

看到李伟有兴趣，老人便开始讲述那些老房子的历史和他的工作。

Seeing Li Wei's interest, the craftsman began to tell the history of those old houses and his work.

李伟听得入神，觉察到这些建筑所承载的故事和价值。

Li Wei listened intently, realizing the stories and value carried by these buildings.

不知过了多久，李伟意识到自己要回去了。

He did not know how much time had passed, but eventually Li Wei realized he needed to return.

他感谢老人，带着丰富的体会和激动的心情回到朋友身边。

He thanked the elder, returned to his friends with a wealth of experiences and a heart full of excitement.

梅玲和金浩见了他，问道：“你发现了什么？”

Mei Ling and Jin Hao saw him and asked, "What did you discover?"

李伟眼中闪着光芒，说：“我遇到了一位很特别的匠人，我了解到了很多关于这些建筑的事情。”

The light in Li Wei's eyes shone as he said, "I met a very special craftsman, and I've learned a lot about these buildings."

他向朋友们分享了从老人那里听来的故事，脸上是从未有过的自信。

He shared the stories he heard from the old man with his friends, his face showing newfound confidence.

这次旅行改变了李伟。

This trip changed Li Wei.

虽然他依旧内向，但他找到了表达自己热情的方法。

Although he remained introverted, he found a way to express his passions.

他明白了建筑背后的故事，感受到文化的力量，也更加珍惜朋友们的陪伴。

He understood the stories behind the architecture, felt the power of culture, and cherished his friends' companionship even more.

丽江古城的冬季在他们的心中留下了温暖的回忆。

The winter in Lijiang Ancient Town left warm memories in their hearts.
