Buttons Spill Near the Clock Dial - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A wooden clock sat three steps from the window.

A short stool stood under it, near a low shelf.

Stella and Ronan came to set the time.

Cool air moved across their hands by the glass.

Stella climbed onto the stool and wiped the clock glass.

She reached for the dial and tried to turn it.

The dial did not move, so she gave a push.

The clock slid a little and bumped a tin.

The tin tipped, and buttons spilled across the shelf.

One button rolled off and dropped into a small hole.

A tiny mouse peeked out from the hole and paused.

Ronan said, "I saw that roll."

Stella steadied the clock and protected it with her palm.

She changed her angle and turned the dial very slowly.

A soft click came, and the minute hand moved.

Ronan nodded and picked up the buttons on the floor.

The mouse slipped back under the baseboard.

Stella turned the dial one last small notch.

一座木頭時鐘放在離窗戶三步遠的地方。

它下面有一張矮凳，旁邊有一個低矮的層架。

Stella 和 Ronan 來調整時間。

涼爽的空氣在玻璃旁掠過他們的手。

Stella 站上凳子，擦拭時鐘的玻璃。

她伸手去摸旋鈕，想把它轉動。

旋鈕沒有動，所以她推了一下。

時鐘滑動了一點，撞到一個小鐵盒。

鐵盒傾倒，鈕扣灑在層架上。

有一顆鈕扣滾下去，掉進一個小洞。

一隻小老鼠從洞口探出頭，停住不動。

Ronan 說：「我看到它滾過去了。」

Stella 扶住時鐘，用手掌保護住它。

她改變角度，非常慢地轉動旋鈕。

輕輕一聲喀嗒響起，分針開始移動。

Ronan 點點頭，把地板上的鈕扣撿起來。

小老鼠又鑽回牆邊木板下方。

Stella 又把旋鈕轉動一小格。
