Story Content
English Original
Is that the grandmother's steam puff?
Eve sits on warm grass. Her forearms rest on her knees. The flat stone is smooth. A pale dust line stays on its edge. A dry leaf smell sits low.
Eve looks at the flat stone. A cap and a nut rest there. A leaf shadow reaches the stone. Light moves. The nut rolls a little, then settles. Eve tilts her head to see.
The grandmother speaks in a low voice. "The tea smells nice." She tastes her tea.
Two squirrels race along the oak branch. Their feet pat the bark. A slow breeze slides past. The cap taps the nut and stops. At the bench, the thermos stands. A smaller puff curls above the thermos.
繁體中文 Translation
那是外婆的蒸氣小團嗎？
Eve 坐在溫暖的草地上。她把前臂放在膝上。那塊平石很光滑。邊緣留著一圈淡淡的灰塵。空氣裡有乾葉的氣味。
Eve 看著那塊平石。一頂帽狀殼和一顆果實在上面。葉影伸到石面上。光線在移動。果實滾了一下，然後停住。Eve 歪一歪頭看。
外婆低聲說話。「這杯茶好香。」她嚐一口茶。
兩隻松鼠在橡樹枝上飛快奔跑。牠們的小腳拍著樹皮。慢慢的微風掠過。帽殼碰了果實一下就停住。長椅旁，保溫瓶直立著。一小團更細的蒸氣在瓶口上方盤旋。
