第一章：平凡的女孩，不平凡的心 Chapter One: The Matchmaker Day
旭日升起，花木兰坐在家门口，认真地抄写祈福卷轴。
As the sun rose, Mulan sat at her doorstep, carefully writing on a prayer scroll.
她的家人希望她今天在媒婆那里表现完美。
Her family hoped she would be perfect for the matchmaker today. 木兰的父亲花弧慈爱地看着她，却也有些担忧。
Her father, Fa Zhou, watched her kindly but with worry. 母亲和祖母则忙着给木兰做准备，让她看起来端庄得体。
Her mother and grandmother rushed around, preparing Mulan to look proper and elegant. 祖母给她拿来一个“好运蟋蟀”。

The matchmaker shouted angrily, “You have dishonored your family!” 木兰低下头，感到羞愧也非常难过。
Mulan lowered her head, feeling ashamed and very sad. 回到家后，她的家人安慰她，希望她不要难过。
When she returned home, her family comforted her, hoping she wouldn’t be sad. 花弧抚摸着她的肩：“你的价值，不是由媒婆决定的。”
Fa Zhou touched her shoulder gently. “Your worth is not decided by the matchmaker.” 木兰抬头看着父亲，心里暖暖的，却依旧困惑。
