小明期末考试失利，原本期待已久的假期也变得索然无味。他整天把自己关在房间里，看着窗外明媚的阳光，心里却郁郁不乐。往常喜爱的小说和游戏也提不起兴趣。父母看在眼里，疼在心里，决定带他出去走走，放松心情。他们一起去了郊外，呼吸着新鲜空气，欣赏着美丽的风景。小明渐渐地放下心中的焦虑和不快，脸上露出了久违的笑容。这次旅行让他明白，生活不止眼前的苟且，还有诗和远方，郁郁不乐并不能解决问题，积极面对才是最好的选择。

Xiao Ming failed his final exam, and his long-awaited vacation became tasteless. He locked himself in his room all day, looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, but his heart was unhappy. His usual favorite novels and games also lost their interest. Seeing this, his parents decided to take him out for a walk to relax. They went to the suburbs together, breathing in the fresh air and admiring the beautiful scenery. Xiao Ming gradually let go of his anxiety and unhappiness, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. This trip made him understand that life is not just about the immediate worries, but also poetry and the distance. Being unhappy doesn't solve problems, and a positive attitude is the best choice.
