Zh: 李伟抬头，看着灰蒙蒙的天空。

care.

accelerate.

Zh: 帐篷里的灯光闪烁，医护人员忙碌不止，耳边尽是机器的嘀嘀声。

continued to be busy, with the beeping of machines surrounding
them.

work.

take a brief rest.

Zh: 韩明递给她一杯热茶，张书则拍了拍她的肩膀，表示鼓励。
En: Han Ming handed her a cup of hot tea, while Zhang Shu patted
her on the shoulder in encouragement.

Zh: “觉得如何？”韩明问，“有没有想去感恩节聚餐？”
En: "How do you feel?" Han Ming asked, "Do you want to attend a
Thanksgiving dinner?"

Zh: 李伟笑了，疲惫却满足。
En: Li Wei smiled, exhausted but satisfied.

Zh: “我们今天救了许多人，我想这就是我们最好的庆祝。”她感慨地说。
En: "We saved many people today; I think that's our best
celebration," she said with emotion.

Zh: 尽管累得几乎支撑不住，心里却满是成就感。

a sense of achievement.

Zh: 她知道，接下来的每一天，她都会更有信心，更相信自己的能力。
En: She knew that in the days to come, she would be more confident
and have greater faith in her abilities.

Zh: 李伟走到帐篷外，让凉爽的风驱散倦意。
En: Li Wei walked outside the tent, allowing the cool breeze to
dispel her weariness.

prepared to welcome the next dawn.
