Reaching Past the Rail for a Recipe Card - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Theo jogged up the footbridge and gripped the rail.

Phoebe hurried beside him with a folded paper in hand.

A gust pushed the paper from her fingers.

It slid to the edge and caught on the trunk.

Below, a shallow channel pulsed under the bridge.

Water rose over stones, then pulled back to show them again.

Cool mist touched their bare arms.

The flow built, paused, and then started again.

Theo watched one surge roll in and slide away.

He watched another swell leave the stones dry.

He said, "It slows, then I can reach."

Phoebe held the rail and steadied her feet.

She said, "I see the calm part now."

During the quiet pullback, Theo leaned over the rail.

His fingers found the recipe's corner and pinched it tight.

He tugged once and slid the paper from the trunk.

A strip of bark broke loose and dropped into the channel.

The next surge lifted the bark and carried it along.

Near the stones, children watched the leaf boat spin out.

Theo held the saved card up over the rail.

Small drops clung along its edge and corner.

The fountain rose and fell in a slow beat.

Theo slid the recipe into a dry tin.

西奧跑上小橋，抓住扶手。

菲比拿著一張對折的紙，跟在他身邊快步前進。

一陣風把紙從她手中吹走。

紙滑到邊緣，勾在樹幹上。

橋下，一條淺淺的水道在橋下起伏。

水淹過石頭，又拉回去，把石頭再度露出來。

涼涼的水霧貼在他們的手臂上。

水勢增強，又停一下，接著再度啟動。

西奧看著一波水湧上來，又滑回去。

他又看著下一波退去，讓石頭變乾。

他說：「它會慢下來，然後我就能夠夠到。」

菲比扶著扶手，讓腳步更穩。

她說：「我現在看到平靜的那一段了。」

在安靜回落的時刻，西奧探身越過扶手。

他的手指夾住食譜卡的一角，抓得很緊。

他用力一扯，把紙從樹幹上滑了出來。

一片樹皮脫落，掉進水道裡。

下一波水把那片樹皮托起，順勢帶著走。

在石頭旁邊，孩子們看著一艘葉子小船轉了出去。

西奧把救回的卡片舉到扶手上方。

小水珠沿著邊緣和角落黏著不放。

噴泉用緩慢的節拍起伏著。

西奧把食譜卡片塞進一個乾的鐵盒裡。
