Bent Grass Flips a Leaf at the Pile - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Zadie drew the small wooden rake in one slow stroke.

The aunt sat on the smooth wooden porch step nearby.

Her small mug of warm cider rested beside the jacket.

A hood cord from the soft folded jacket lay along the step.

A small garden bed ran along the fence.

Warm cider smell mixed with earthy leaf smell by the lawn.

A single dry leaf caught under a tine and held tight.

The thin grass under it bent low and stayed bent.

The tine slid free, and the grass sprang up fast.

That hop flipped the dry leaf toward the soft pile.

The top leaves sank, then sprang a little with a quick rustle.

One loose edge popped and tapped another light leaf.

Zadie set the small wooden rake flat across the pile edge.

The loose edge met a tine and stopped its next pop.

On the porch, the aunt tucked the soft folded jacket firm.

She slid the cord under the corner and smoothed a sleeve.

Zadie then squirreled a tiny acorn into her pocket.

A lifted corner of the flipped leaf still quivered on top.

Zadie緩緩拖過一次小木耙。

姑姑坐在旁邊光滑的木製門廊台階上。

她的小杯溫熱蘋果飲放在外套旁邊。

那件柔軟摺好的外套上有一條帽繩，平放在台階邊。

低矮木欄旁延伸著一小塊花園種植帶。

溫熱蘋果飲的香氣和落葉的土味在草地旁混在一起。

一片乾葉卡在一根耙齒下方，牢牢扣住。

底下細草向下彎著，保持著彎曲。

耙齒滑開了，細草迅速反彈起來。

那一下把乾葉彈向柔軟的落葉堆。

上層的葉子先下沉，接著微微回彈，發出一聲沙沙。

一個鬆動的葉角彈起，輕輕碰到另一片輕葉。

Zadie把小木耙平放在落葉堆邊緣。

那個鬆角碰到一根耙齒，下一次彈起就停住了。

在門廊上，姑姑把那件柔軟摺好的外套塞得更穩。

她把帽繩收進角落，順了順袖子。

Zadie又把一顆小橡實悄悄塞進口袋裡。

翻起來的那片葉子有一角還在上面輕微顫動。
