Blue Cup Twirls Downstream- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

A leaf spins above the stream. Zinnia watches from a mossy root. Soft light flickers on water. Water plops. The air smells of wet bark. A light breeze lifts one page. The page is a folded map. It drifts onto a flat rock. "Oops," the older child says. The edge touches cool foam. The air is cool here.

A clay vase rests on the log. A cold drop falls inside the vase. The pot tilts and rolls into mud. Nearby, a red mug trembles, then stills. Ferns wave, then calm. Leaves drift. Pebbles gleam beside the water. A blue cup bumps a pebble and twirls downstream.

一片葉子在溪流上空旋轉。辛妮雅坐在長滿青苔的樹根旁觀看。柔和的光在水面閃動。水滴噗通落下。潮濕的樹皮味飄在空氣中。一陣微風掀起對岸的一張紙頁。那頁紙是一張摺好的地圖。它飄到一塊平石上。「糟糕，」遠岸較大的孩子說。紙邊碰到涼涼的泡沫。此處的空氣帶著涼意。

一只黏土小花瓶放在倒木上。一滴冰涼的水落入瓶內。小瓶傾斜，滾進柔軟的泥土。附近，一個紅色馬克杯顫了一下，隨即靜止。蕨葉搖，再恢復平穩。葉子飄過。鵝卵石在水邊泛光。一只藍色杯子撞到一顆小石子，接著在下游旋轉。
