The Notebook Leaf Spins on the Stream - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Is that an old mark? It sits on the log by the stream. Pale scratch lines cross the wood. Dry bark dust rests in a crack. A brown acorn cap lies in the moss.

The water is cold and clear. A small bug slides over the top. A drip falls to the pool. I watch and hold still. Hollis crouches on the far bank. A blue blanket lies folded near their knee. "I see a tiny beetle," Hollis says. The shade is cool.

A light wind lifts a collected leaf. It slips from the open notebook. The leaf lands on the stream. It spins over the bug. My eyes narrow. I cannot see.

On the same log, a thin bark strip curls. It hangs and quivers at the edge. A small flower holds tight petals. Above, a new drip swells on a leaf tip. The first bead drops to the pool. I watch the next bead land again.

那是舊痕嗎？ 它在溪邊的倒木上。 淡淡的刮痕橫過木頭。 乾燥的樹皮粉卡在縫裡。 一個棕色的橡實殼躺在青苔上。

水很冷而且清澈。 一隻小蟲在水面滑行。 一滴水落進小水潭。 我看著並保持不動。 Hollis 蹲在對岸。 一條藍色毯子摺好放在他們膝邊。 「我看到一隻小甲蟲。」Hollis 說。 陰影很涼。

輕風掀起一片收集的葉子。 它從打開的筆記本滑出。 葉子落到溪水上。 它在小蟲上方旋轉。 我的眼睛微微收緊。 我看不見。

同一根倒木上，一條薄樹皮捲起。 它懸著，在邊緣微微顫動。 一朵小花把花瓣緊緊合住。 上方，一顆新水珠在葉尖鼓起。 第一顆水珠落進小水潭。 我再看著下一顆水珠落下。
