玩具機器人揭開秘密痕跡| 英語/中文 雙語朗讀
Story Content
English Original
A sharp chirp snaps above.
Cora kneels on wet grass.
Morning light falls on stones.
The air smells like damp earth.
She lifts one flat leaf carefully.
A tiny ant darts across dirt.
A slippery trail gleams beside it.
She lowers the leaf again softly.
Next, she tilts a square stone.
Cold water runs out rapidly.
Thin ice spots melt at edges.
On the ground lies a toy robot.
Its metal head taps the stone.
Cora shifts the toy aside gently.
A dark mark shows a diamond shape.
The shape glints like precious glass.
Zev sits on the back step.
A page flips inside his sketchbook.
Zev says, 'Look here, Cora.'
Cora nods and places the stone.
The mark hides under weight again.
A leaf lands on the robot.
Plastic clicks against metal casing.
The garden stays quiet except birds.
A distant drip taps the gate.
繁體中文 Translation
尖銳的鳥叫聲在上方響起。
Cora 跪在濕草上。
晨光落在石頭上。
空氣帶著潮土味。
她小心掀起一片平葉。
一隻小螞蟻穿過泥土。
一條滑亮的黏液在旁閃光。
她輕輕把葉子放回。
接著，她傾斜一塊方石。
冷水快速流出。
薄薄的冰點在邊緣融化。
地上躺著一個玩具機器人。
它的金屬頭敲著石面。
Cora 輕輕把玩具移開。
一道暗痕呈現菱形。
痕跡像珍貴玻璃般閃亮。
Zev 坐在後臺階。
他的素描本頁面翻動。
Zev 說：「看這裡，Cora。」
Cora 點頭並放回石頭。
痕跡再次被重量遮住。
一片葉子落在機器人上。
塑膠碰金屬發出喀聲。
花園除了鳥聲一片寧靜。
遠處滴水聲敲著院門。
