The Jacket Slips on the Border - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Soft swing chains creak nearby.

Oona kneels very still. Oona is still. She kneels by the low wooden border. Her knee rests on a folded jacket. The top is smooth wood. Pale old scuff lines stay there.

Warm light sits on her shoulder. Light warms. A thin earth smell rises. A thermos sits heavy on the wooden park bench. A fresh sand-cylinder stands near her. A small curve rims its top.

The jacket shifts on the wood. Her knee slides a little. The grandfather sets the jacket crosswise. It settles very quietly. "All set," the grandfather says quietly.

A single tree leaf drifts down. It lands lengthwise on her hair. It turns clockwise, then stays. A tiny dry grain slides off the rim. It taps her shoe and stops. A dry grain sits on her shoe.

近處的鞦韆鏈條輕輕作響。

Oona 靜靜跪著不動。Oona 很安靜。她跪在低矮的木邊旁。她的膝蓋壓在一件摺好的外套上。上面是平滑的木頭面。淡淡舊擦痕留在那裡。

溫暖的光落在她的肩膀上。光線在發熱。一股淡淡土味升起。一個保溫瓶沉沉地放在木製長椅上。一個新的砂柱立在她旁邊。它的頂邊帶著小小的弧。

外套在木頭上微微移動。她的膝蓋滑了一下。祖父把外套橫著放好。它很安靜地貼平。「好了，」祖父輕聲說。

一片樹葉慢慢飄下。它沿著長邊落在她的頭髮上。它順時針轉一下，然後停住。一粒乾砂從邊緣滑下。它輕點她的鞋，就停住。一粒乾砂安靜地待在她的鞋上。
