Zh: 连是当地一位非常熟悉月亮山地形的导游。
En: Lian was a local tour guide very familiar with the terrain of Yueliang Shan.

Zh: 她对这些传奇一直半信半疑，但看到梅的热情，也不禁被吸引过来。
En: She had always been somewhat skeptical about these legends but was inevitably drawn in by Mei's enthusiasm.

Zh: “我猜那只是个故事，”连说，“但既然你这么感兴趣，我们就去看看吧。”
En: "I guess it's just a story," Lian said, "but since you're so interested, let's go check it out."

Zh: 梅坚定地说：“我们要把这些历史带给世界，让大家认识到我们家乡的文化重要性。”
