Story Transcript:

Zh: 秋天的下午，微风轻抚着这片寂静的废弃仓库。
En: On an autumn afternoon, a gentle breeze caressed the quiet, abandoned warehouse.

Zh: 四周传来树叶翻飞的声音，让人不禁想起那些被遗忘的岁月。
En: The rustling of leaves could be heard all around, bringing to mind those forgotten years.

Zh: 仓库里落满灰尘，墙上有几个破洞，阳光透过缝隙投下斑驳的光影。
En: Dust covered the warehouse, and there were several holes in the walls through which sunlight streamed, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Zh: 魏坐在仓库中央，
En: Wei sat in the center of the warehouse.

Zh: 他面前是一位受伤的朋友刘，刘的手臂流血不止。
En: In front of him was his injured friend, Liu, whose arm was bleeding profusely.

Zh: 身边的小女孩梅，努力压抑着内心的恐惧，用小手紧握住刘的另一只手。
En: Near them, the little girl Mei tried hard to suppress her inner fear, gripping Liu's other hand tightly with her small fingers.

Zh: 这样的情景，让魏不得不面对他心中的恐惧与过去的失败。
En: This scene forced Wei to confront his inner fears and past failures.

Zh: “我能做到，”魏在心里默默对自己说。
En: "I can do this," Wei silently told himself.

Zh: 他悄悄叹了口气，环顾四周，希望找到能够利用的东西。
En: He sighed quietly and looked around, hoping to find something useful.

Zh: 梅在一旁安慰刘，告诉他一切都会好起来。
En: Mei comforted Liu, telling him everything would be alright.

Zh: 虽然她的声音很小，却带给大家莫大的鼓励。
En: Although her voice was small, it provided everyone with immense encouragement.

Zh: 魏知道自己不能再犹豫。
En: Wei knew he could not hesitate any longer.

Zh: 他必须克服心中的恐惧。
En: He had to overcome his inner fear.

Zh: 没有现成的医疗用品，但他记得之前在学校学到的一些急救知识。
En: There were no ready medical supplies, but he recalled some first aid knowledge he had learned in school.

Zh: 他把一件干净的衬衫撕成布条，绑住刘的手臂，希望能够暂时止血。
En: He tore a clean shirt into strips and wrapped them around Liu's arm, hoping to stop the bleeding temporarily.

Zh: 他让刘躺下，然后用一个木板和附近找到的绳子，自制了一个简易的支架，固定住刘的手臂。
En: He had Liu lie down, then used a piece of wood and some rope he found nearby to make a simple splint to stabilize Liu's arm.

Zh: 此刻，他仿佛回到了课堂，希望自己的决定是正确的。
En: At that moment, it felt as if he was back in the classroom, hoping his decision was the right one.

Zh: “我去找帮助！”梅突然提议，她想跑到外面去，呼喊附近的人们。
En: "I'll go get help!" Mei suddenly suggested, wanting to run outside and call out to nearby people.

Zh: 魏点了点头，但也嘱咐她要注意安全。
En: Wei nodded but also reminded her to be careful.

Zh: 梅跑出去，而魏继续专心处理伤口。
En: Mei ran out while Wei continued to focus on attending to the wound.

Zh: 此刻，不知从哪里飘来了一阵薄雾，笼罩住这个安静的地方。
En: Just then, a thin mist drifted in from nowhere, enveloping the quiet place.

Zh: 魏的手里是那双信任的眼神，也是希望。
En: What Wei held in his hands were not only eyes full of trust but also hope.

Zh: 虽然心跳如鼓锤般激烈，但他不能失败。
En: Though his heart was beating intensely like a drum, he could not fail.

Zh: 终于，一个小时过去，梅和急救人员共同赶到了仓库。
En: Finally, an hour passed, and Mei arrived at the warehouse with emergency personnel.

Zh: 刘的小臂已经稳定，已经不再流血。
En: Liu's arm had been stabilized and was no longer bleeding.

Zh: 魏松了口气，看着身边的朋友，心中那将要放弃的念头终被驱散。
En: Wei breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at his friend beside him, and the thought of giving up was driven away.

Zh: “谢谢你，魏。我欠了你一命。”刘微笑着说。眼里盈满感激之情。
En: "Thank you, Wei. I owe you my life," Liu said with a smile, gratitude filling his eyes.

Zh: 经过这次经历，魏感到了久违的信心。
En: After this experience, Wei felt a long-lost confidence.

Zh: 他不再是一个因失败而退缩的人，而是在困境中迎难而上的勇者。
En: He was no longer someone who recoiled due to failure but a brave person who faced challenges head-on.

Zh: 秋风中飘散的不仅是落叶，还有魏对未来的坚定决心。
En: What wafted in the autumn breeze was not only fallen leaves but also Wei's firm determination for the future.

Zh: 他开始考虑重回医学院，踏上未竟的医者之路。
En: He began to consider returning to medical school to pursue the path of a healer left unfinished.

Zh: 夕阳染红了天际，仓库外，魏、刘和梅三人并肩而立，心中充满新的希望。
En: The sunset painted the horizon red, and outside the warehouse, Wei, Liu, and Mei stood side by side, filled with new hope.
