In a quiet alley,Everbright Studiostood like a time capsule. The wooden sign was faded, and inside, the walls were filled with black-and-white portraits from decades past. A single large window let in the afternoon sunlight, illuminating the dust floating in the air.

Sophie, a young art student, stumbled upon the studio one Saturday. She loved anything vintage and was drawn to a frame near the window—a photo of a girl in a white dress, holding a violin, smiling shyly.

“That picture was taken in 1972,” saidMr. Lin, the elderly photographer. “Her name was Mei. She used to practice here. No one’s come for her photo since.”

Something about Mei’s gentle smile moved Sophie. On impulse, she asked Mr. Lin to take her portrait in the same spot.

The following week, when Sophie came to pick up the photo, she saw a man about her age standing by the same window, looking at Mei’s portrait.

“My grandmother was a violinist,” he said softly when Sophie asked. “She told me stories about this place. I think that’s her photo.”

Surprised, Sophie handed him her own new portrait.
“She looks just as warm as your grandmother.”

They smiled at each other. That afternoon, they sat by the window, sharing stories of music, art, and the magic of capturing time in a single frame.

中文全文翻译窗边的那张老照片

在一条安静的小巷中，永光照相馆像一座时光胶囊般静静伫立。木质招牌已经褪色，墙上挂满了几十年前的黑白肖像照。一扇大窗子让下午的阳光倾泻进来，尘埃在光里慢慢飘浮。

苏菲是一名年轻的艺术系学生。一个周六，她偶然发现了这家照相馆。她热爱复古风格，被窗边的一张照片吸引了——照片里是一个穿白裙的女孩，怀里抱着小提琴，微笑中透着害羞。

“那张照片是1972年拍的。”摄影师林先生轻声说道，“她叫梅，常在这里练琴。可从那以后，再没人来取过她的照片。”

苏菲被梅温柔的笑容打动了。她突然有了一个想法，要求林先生在同样的位置给自己也拍一张肖像。

一周后，苏菲回来取照片时，看见一个与她年龄相仿的男生正站在那扇窗前，凝视着梅的肖像。

“我奶奶是个小提琴手。”当苏菲好奇时，他轻声说，“她总跟我讲起这里。我想，那就是她的照片。”

苏菲愣了愣，把自己新拍的肖像递给他。
“她的笑容，跟你奶奶一样温暖。”

两人相视一笑。那天下午，他们坐在窗边，聊起音乐、艺术，以及如何在一张照片中捕捉时间的魔力。
