灯火通明的海港城夜市，是一个充满活力和色彩的地方。

The dēng huǒ tōng míng de Hǎigǎngchéng night market was a place full of vibrancy and color.

空气中飘散着热腾腾的美食香气。

The air was filled with the aroma of steaming hot food.

摊位上摆满各式各样的商品，节日的气氛洋溢在每个人的脸上。

Stalls were brimming with all sorts of goods, and the festive atmosphere was evident on everyone's faces.

这是冬至节前夕，李明、张伟和小宁在夜市中穿梭。

It was the eve of the Winter Solstice Festival, and Lǐ Míng, Zhāng Wěi, and Xiǎo Níng were weaving through the crowd in the night market.

李明一边走，一边好奇地打量着周围。

As they walked, Lǐ Míng looked around curiously.

他想为爷爷的生日找到一件特别的礼物。

He wanted to find a special gift for his grandfather's birthday.

张伟经营着一个小摊位，摊位上摆放着各种古玩。

Zhāng Wěi ran a small stall displaying various antiques.

小宁是李明的好友，她总是能找到最划算的交易。

Xiǎo Níng was Lǐ Míng's good friend, and she always managed to find the best deals.

李明被一个小雕像吸引了。

Lǐ Míng was attracted to a small statue.

它看起来古老而精致。

It looked ancient and exquisite.

李明上前询问价格，张伟正忙着与另一位顾客交谈，匆忙中说出了一个远低于市场价的数字。

He approached to inquire about the price, but Zhāng Wěi, busy speaking with another customer, hastily quoted a price far below market value.

李明甚是高兴，立即购买了雕像。

Lǐ Míng was delighted and immediately bought the statue.

小宁在一旁，对这种价格表示怀疑。

Xiǎo Níng stood by, skeptical about the price.

第二天，李明发现雕像其实是一件昂贵的古董。

The next day, Lǐ Míng discovered that the statue was actually an expensive antique.

他感到兴奋，但也有些不安。

He felt excited but also a bit uneasy.

小宁建议他去找张伟，了解真正的情况。

Xiǎo Níng suggested he go to Zhāng Wěi to understand the true situation.

两人来到夜市，张伟看到他们，脸上充满歉意和些许紧张。

The two returned to the night market, and seeing them, Zhāng Wěi wore an apologetic and slightly tense expression.

经过一番解释，李明知道张伟是无意间卖错价格。

After some explanation, Lǐ Míng learned that Zhāng Wěi unintentionally named the wrong price.

张伟恳求李明将雕像归还，并愿意作出补偿。

Zhāng Wěi pleaded with Lǐ Míng to return the statue and offered compensation.

经过一番深思熟虑，李明决定归还雕像。

After much thought, Lǐ Míng decided to return the statue.

他知道诚实比金钱更重要。

He knew honesty was more important than money.

张伟感激地微笑，随后热情地为李明挑选了一件独特的礼物。这是一件民俗手工艺品，正好适合送给李明的爷爷。

Zhāng Wěi smiled gratefully and then enthusiastically helped Lǐ Míng choose a unique gift—a piece of folk handicraft that was perfect for Lǐ Míng's grandfather.

随着夜市再次被节日的欢笑声淹没，李明明白了诚实和友谊的可贵。

As the night market was once again filled with the sounds of festive laughter, Lǐ Míng understood the value of honesty and friendship.

他赢得了张伟的尊重，也为爷爷找到了一份心意满满的礼物。

He earned Zhāng Wěi's respect and found a gift filled with sincerity for his grandfather.

在回家的路上，小宁调皮地笑着说：“下次我们还是多问几个价吧。”

On the way home, Xiǎo Níng playfully said, "Next time, let's ask about more prices."

李明点点头，心里充满感激。

Lǐ Míng nodded, filled with gratitude.

他知道在这一夜，他收获的不仅是礼物，还有珍贵的教训。

He knew that in this one night, he gained not only a gift but also a precious lesson.
