Slipping Bag Strap, Settled Boat Shadow - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Warm tea smell meets Xyla; a woven bag slips.

The grandmother sits on the wooden chair.

A small mug rests on the arm.

Cloth hushes on wood.

Xyla kneels on the soft folded rug.

A woven fold-line holds her knees.

Older pale floor patches sit under its edge.

Light comes through the open window.

On the smooth wooden window sill, three forms sit.

Xyla lifts the small wooden boat.

A strap from the bag touches her wrist.

She pauses.

"Here?" Xyla says.

"Here," the grandmother says.

Xyla lifts the strap onto the chair arm.

Cloth makes a quiet slide.

The wooden boat is set in the bright stripe.

Its silhouette rests on the smooth pale wall.

A fine dust mote glints through the stripe.

The warm tea smell thins by the wooden chair.

一股溫熱的茶香飄到 Xyla 身邊；一個編織袋滑了一下。

奶奶坐在木製椅子上。

一個小杯子放在椅扶手上。

布料在木頭上輕輕摩擦。

Xyla 跪在柔軟摺起的地毯上。

編織的摺痕托住她的膝蓋。

地毯邊下方有舊的淺色地板痕。

光線穿過打開的窗戶進來。

平滑的木窗台上，三個小木造型擺著。

Xyla 抬起那艘小木船。

袋子的一條背帶碰到她的手腕。

她停一下。

「這裡？」Xyla 說。

「這裡。」奶奶說。

Xyla 把背帶放回椅扶手上。

布料發出輕輕的滑聲。

小木船被放在明亮的光帶裡。

它的影子停在光滑淡色的牆上。

一粒細小灰塵在光帶裡閃一下。

木椅旁的熱茶香味變淡了。
