When Bubbles Rolled- 適合初級的英語短篇故事
當泡泡滾動時| 英語/中文 雙語朗讀






Story Content
English Original
Uma swept dry leaves across the patio tiles.
Warm afternoon light filled the small patio.
She wanted a quick cleanup before lunch.
Her broom nudged a loose garden hose by the gate.
Water burst out and formed a small arc.
The spray washed over a blue planter beside the wall.
Bright wings lifted as a cluster of butterflies took flight.
One butterfly brushed the open kitchen screen and darted inside.
The family cat crouched, then jumped from the counter.
Paws struck a shelf holding Miles's science experiment in jars.
A small jar shaped like a glass jellyfish tipped over.
It fell into a bucket of soapy water on the floor.
White bubbles rushed out and rolled across the tiles.
Uma stepped back, and her shoe made her stumble once.
She caught the bucket handle and dragged it upright.
Foam slid toward the drain, slowing the runaway chain.
A bright bubble drifted upward toward the slow fan.
繁體中文 Translation
烏瑪在露台的地磚上掃著乾葉。
溫暖的午後陽光灑滿小小露台。
她想在午餐前快速完成整理。
她的掃帚碰到門邊一條鬆掉的花園水管。
水突然噴出,畫出一道小弧線。
水花潑到牆邊的藍色花盆。
一群蝴蝶振翅飛起。
一隻蝴蝶擦過敞開的廚房紗窗飛進屋內。
家裡的貓蹲低後從檯面躍起。
牠的爪子撞到擺放邁爾斯科學實驗瓶罐的架子。
一個像玻璃水母的小罐子翻倒。
它掉進地板上的肥皂水桶。
白色泡泡湧出,在地磚上滾動。
烏瑪向後一步,鞋子一滑差點跌倒。
她抓住桶柄,將桶拉正。
泡沫朝排水孔滑去,減緩了失控的連鎖反應。
一道亮泡泡正往慢速風扇上方漂浮。
