Jar Lid Loosens and Marbles Roll - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Two shelves stood above the sink, with a glass jar between them.

Morning light fell across the counter.

A dried stem of honesty hung near the window.

Ilsa tapped the glass jar on the shelf.

"We need the blue marbles," she said.

Keane tried to twist the lid.

It did not move at all.

Ilsa held the jar near the window and turned it.

Her thumb pressed the metal ring and then the glass.

The ring felt warm; the jar felt cool.

Tiny water dots formed on the cool part.

Keane tried to explain his idea about the warm ring.

Keane turned the tap and ran warm water on the ring.

A minute of patience passed at the sink.

Ilsa gripped the lid with a dry cloth and twisted.

The seal gave a soft click, and the lid turned.

Blue marbles jumped into the bowl and onto the counter.

They rolled off the edge and met a block structure.

The small tower slid, then blocks tumbled across the table.

One block bumped a spoon, and the spoon tapped a bowl.

The bowl wobbled once and settled near the cutting board.

Ilsa and Keane picked up marbles and counted the quantity.

Ten blues sat in a line, with two by the chair.

A single blue marble wedged under the chair leg.

在水槽上方有兩層架子，中間放著一個玻璃罐。

早晨的光落在流理台上。

窗邊掛著一枝銀扇草的乾燥枝條。

伊爾莎在架子上輕敲玻璃罐。

她說：「我們需要藍色的彈珠。」

基恩試著扭開蓋子。

它完全不動。

伊爾莎把罐子拿到窗邊，轉了轉。

她的拇指先按在金屬環上，再按在玻璃上。

金屬環帶著溫熱，玻璃卻偏涼。

涼的地方出現了小小的水珠。

基恩試著解釋他對溫熱環的想法。

基恩打開水龍頭，讓溫水沖在金屬環上。

他們在水槽邊耐心等了一分鐘。

伊爾莎用乾布抓住蓋子，用力一扭。

封口輕輕一響，蓋子轉開了。

藍色彈珠跳進碗裡，也滾到流理台上。

它們從邊緣滾下去，撞到一座積木結構。

小塔滑動了一下，接著積木在桌上翻滾開來。

一塊積木頂到湯匙，湯匙又敲了一下碗。

碗晃了一下，停在砧板旁。

伊爾莎和基恩撿起彈珠，清點數量。

十顆藍珠排成一列，還有兩顆在椅子旁。

一顆藍色彈珠卡在椅腳底下。
