乳牛走過打開的柵門 | 英文/中文 雙語朗讀
ストーリー内容
English 原文
Grass and earth smell clean by the fence. Tobias stands at the rail gap. His shoes press small gravel. The rail shows rough splinters. A thin wet line clings under the wood.
He looks through the gap. Two chickens race across the yard. Dust lifts and settles. A soft creak comes from the gate. He sees no cow here.
He walks to the hen house. He looks into the dark space under it. A straw nest sits there with eggs. A loose feather turns in the shade. The father sits on the path edge. A backpack rests beside him, half open. He says, "It is open here."
Tobias walks to the open gate and looks through. A brown coat on a cow shines. Fresh hoof prints mark the damp ground. Each slow step expresses a thin line of water. The gate swings a little. The cow steps through the open gate.
繁體中文 翻訳
柵欄邊有草和泥土的清新味道。Tobias 站在橫木的縫隙前。他的鞋踩著小碎石。那根橫木帶著粗糙的木刺。木頭下方貼著一條薄薄的濕痕。
他從縫隙往裡看。兩隻母雞在院子裡奔跑。細土揚起又落下。柵門傳來輕輕的嘎吱聲。他在這裡看不到牛。
他走到雞舍旁。他看向雞舍下方的黑暗空間。那裡有一個稻草巢，裡面有幾顆蛋。一片鬆散的羽毛在陰影裡旋轉。爸爸坐在小徑邊。他身旁放著一個半開的背包。他說：「這邊是開著的。」
Tobias 走到打開的柵門前往裡看。一頭牛棕色的毛皮在發亮。新鮮的蹄印印在潮濕的地上。每一步慢慢踩下，都擠出一圈細細的水痕。柵門輕輕晃動。那頭牛踏過打開的柵門。
