Corn Kernel Pops on the Plate - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Steam curls up from the plate. Steam curls. A grown-up sits near Juno, eating. A blue ribbon rests on Juno’s hair. Tomato smell floats in the air. A safety strap hangs from the chair leg.

Juno stands and steps beside her chair. She looks through a gap between noodle tangles. Sauce shines in the pool below. Two short tubes sit with a gap. Tiny goal shape. The gap narrows as a noodle slides. Steam lines fade and thin.

Juno walks to the cool cup. She looks through the round opening on top. The wall shelf sits beyond the cup. Bowls rest there, small and pale. The grown-up says, "More cheese?" A fork clinks softly on a plate. A corn kernel pops off a tine. It rolls on the plate.

Juno stands still by her chair. She looks through the cup opening again.

蒸氣從盤子上升起。蒸氣盤繞。一位大人坐在 Juno 身旁，用餐。一條藍色緞帶在 Juno 的頭髮上。空氣中有淡淡的番茄香。椅腳上垂著一條安全帶。

Juno 起身，站在椅子旁。她從麵條糾結間的一個縫看過去。下面的醬汁池泛著光。兩根短管麵隔著一個小間隙。像一個小小球門。有一根麵滑下來，縫口變窄。蒸氣的線條變淡、變細。

Juno 走到涼涼的杯子旁。她從上方的圓口往裡看。杯子那頭有一個牆上層架。幾只碗放在那裡，淡色又小巧。大人說：「要不要多一點起司？」叉子輕輕碰著盤子，叮一聲。一顆玉米粒從叉齒上彈開。它在盤子上滾動。

Juno 回到椅旁站好不動。她又從杯口看過去。
