When the Owl Hoots - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Sofia sits on a stone bench. She watches a wide grass field. The sun is warm. A tall mountain rises ahead. The mountain top touches thin clouds. A wooden cart stands nearby. One wheel turns very slowly. Sofia notices dry leaves around. A single leaf starts to fall. The leaf turns left and right. It lands near the bench. The air is calm and cool.

A soft hoot drifts from trees. Sofia looks up at branches. An owl sits on a limb. The bird blinks in slow rhythm. Wind pushes tall grass gently sideways. A distant cloud crosses the sun. Light over the field turns pale. Far snow on the mountain glitters. A second leaf floats past Sofia. The cart wheel stops at last. A quiet shade stays under the bench.

索菲亞坐在石椅上。她望著寬闊的草地。陽光溫暖。前方是一座高山。山頂碰到薄薄的雲。旁邊停著一輛木製手推車。車輪慢慢轉動。索菲亞注意到周圍有乾葉。單片樹葉開始落下。葉子左右搖擺。它落在椅子旁。空氣平靜而涼爽。

柔和的咕叫聲從樹間傳來。索菲亞抬頭看樹枝。一隻貓頭鷹停在枝上。鳥兒慢慢眨眼。風輕推高草向一側。遠處的雲遮住太陽。草地上的光變淡。遠方山上的雪閃耀。第二片葉子飄過索菲亞。手推車的車輪終於停止。石椅下的寧靜陰影留在原地。
