海邊用相機背帶拍下貝殼照 | 英文/中文 雙語朗讀
ストーリー内容
English 原文
Cal ran to the edge of the tide.
A small wave washed over his toes and ankles.
It slid back, and the sand turned dry again.
Another wave came and spread a thin sheet of water.
Small shells shifted and tapped each other in place.
A light salt smell sat near the dark rocks.
There was ample wet sand for a small design.
He set five shells in equal gaps on the ground.
A gull made a low swoop over the foam.
Water reached them, and two shells rolled from the line.
Cal slid his camera strap flat across the wet sand.
He drew a shallow ring around the shells with the strap.
The next wash filled the ring and slowed the shells.
The water slid back and left the shells settled.
Roslyn said, "That looks neat, Cal."
He raised his camera and framed the small circle.
He pressed the button, and a photo slid out.
繁體中文 翻訳
Cal 跑到潮水邊。
小小的浪花淹過他的腳趾和腳踝。
它又退去，沙子再次變乾。
另一道浪來了，鋪開一層薄水。
小貝殼在原地互相碰了一下。
暗岩邊飄著淡淡的鹽味。
這裡有足夠的濕沙可以做個小圖形。
他把五個貝殼排成等距的空隙。
海鷗低低掠過泡沫。
水淹到它們，兩個貝殼從隊形滾出來。
Cal 把相機背帶平放在濕沙上滑過。
他用背帶在貝殼周圍劃出一圈淺淺的環。
下一次來水把環填滿，貝殼慢下來。
水再退去，貝殼就安穩地停住。
Roslyn 說：「看起來很整齊，Cal。」
他舉起相機，取好小小的圓圈。
他按下按鈕，一張照片滑了出來。
