Paper Kite Taps Ada's Nose - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Ada sits inside the soft tent. What drifts in the light?

Steam rises. A tea smell moves near the flap. Ada's knees press a cushion. A fine weave shows. A pale crease stays. A little paper kite rests by the lamp. A small game card lies near her knee. Air from the vent moves. The card slides and taps her knee.

The lamp warms her wrist. The soft flap lifts and brushes her hair. The kite edge tilts. It bumps her nose. Her eyes go wide. Her mouth stays closed. Her breath moves slow. "I am right here," the grandmother says. Ada sits very still again. Dust floats. The little paper kite rests on her sleeve.

Ada 坐在柔軟的小帳篷裡。光裡是什麼在飄？

蒸氣升起。茶香在帳門旁飄過。Ada 的膝蓋壓著一個墊子。細緻的織紋露出。一條淺淺的折痕還在。一個小紙風箏靠著小燈放著。一張小小的遊戲卡片在她膝邊。通風口的氣流在動。卡片滑動，輕點她的膝蓋。

小燈的暖意貼著她的手腕。柔軟的帳門掀起，拂到她的頭髮。風箏的邊緣傾斜。它碰到她的鼻子。她的眼睛張得很大。她的嘴巴保持合起。她的呼吸慢慢地進出。「我在這裡，」祖母說。Ada 又很安靜地坐著。灰塵漂浮。那只小紙風箏靠在她的袖子上。
