Wei said to Jia, his graduate student who loves studying Taiwan's indigenous cultures.Zh: “可是，我们必须尊重这里的文化。”敏在他们一旁谨慎地提醒。En: "But we must respect the culture here," Min cautiously reminded them from the side.Zh: 她是村里的历史学家，对家乡的历史有着深厚的感情。En: She is the village's historian and has deep feelings for the history of her hometown.Zh: 几天前，魏在村外的一个旧庙遗址中挖掘，发现了一件古老的文物。En: A few days earlier, Wei had excavated a site at an old temple ruins outside the village and discovered an ancient artifact.Zh: 那是一块石碑，上面刻有许多奇怪的文字。En: It was a stone tablet inscribed with many strange characters.Zh: 村里流传着石碑被诅咒的传说，只有你尊重村子的传统，它才会启示真相。En: There is a legend in the village that the stone tablet is cursed, and only if you respect the village's traditions will it reveal the truth.Zh: 魏想利用这个发现成就自己的事业，于是准备带走石碑进行研究。En: Wei wanted to use this discovery to further his career and planned to take the stone tablet for research.Zh: 然而，敏坚持石碑不能动，它属于村子和祖先的历史。En: However, Min insisted that the stone tablet could not be moved, as it belonged to the village and its ancestors' history.Zh: 魏烦恼不已，他知道如果尊重敏的意见，自己的计划可能泡汤。En: Wei was troubled; he knew that if he respected Min's opinion, his plans might be ruined.Zh: 一天傍晚，正当村子里的人们忙碌着准备过年庆祝时，魏、敏和吉娅一起回到发现现场，希望能更清楚地了解石碑的故事。En: One evening, as the villagers were busy preparing for the New Year celebrations, Wei, Min, and Jia returned to the discovery site, hoping to understand the story of the stone tablet more clearly.Zh: 在祭祖的仪式上，村人们低声吟唱古老的歌谣，诉说着祖先的故事。En: During the ancestor worship ceremony, the villagers murmured ancient ballads, recounting the stories of their ancestors.Zh: 随着歌声，地面似乎轻轻颤动。En: With the singing, the ground seemed to lightly tremble.Zh: 突如其来的变化让他们发现了一秘密入口，通向一个隐秘的地洞。En: The sudden change led them to discover a secret entrance leading to a hidden cavern.Zh: 洞里满是古老的壁画，展示着村落的起源和繁荣。En: Inside the cave were ancient murals depicting the origins and prosperity of the village.Zh: 敏站在壁画前，激动地泪水盈眶，“这是我们村子的故事。”En: Min stood in front of the murals, tears welling in her eyes with excitement, "This is the story of our village."Zh: 魏终于明白，这些遗迹不仅仅是学术研究的对象，它们是活着的历史。En: Wei finally understood that these relics were not just subjects of academic research; they were living history.Zh: 他意识到要尊重这些文化传承，是比职业成就更重要的事。En: He realized that respecting these cultural heritages is more important than professional achievements.Zh: “我不会移动这个石碑，”魏对敏承诺，“但是我会用相机和纸笔，把这些珍贵的历史记录下来。”En: "I will not move this stone tablet," Wei promised Min, "but I will use a camera and pen and paper to record this precious history."Zh: 农历新年的夜晚，天上烟火绽放，村子的笑声温暖而真挚。En: On the evening of the Lunar New Year, fireworks blossomed in the sky, and the village's laughter was warm and sincere.Zh: 魏和吉娅站在庆祝的人群中，感受到村民的信任和友好。En: Wei and Jia stood among the celebrating crowd, feeling the villagers' trust and friendliness.Zh: ...
