Paper Boat Slides From Creek to River - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A narrow footbridge stood two steps from the creek bank.

Zola and Miles set a jar on a flat rock.

Its metal lid lay close to the rock's edge.

A blue towel lay on a sunny patch of grass.

They folded a small boat from a piece of paper.

They pointed to the wide river beyond the trees.

Cool air moved across the water and under the bridge.

A tangle of twigs blocked a narrow path in the creek.

The small boat could not pass the tight space.

Miles tapped the tangle with a long stick.

Zola steadied the jar and rolled up her sleeves.

They pulled bits aside and stacked stones to guide water.

They paused a moment, and their shoulders relaxed together.

Zola set the boat in the calm pool near the bridge.

The boat followed the new path into the running stream.

Water rushed through; gravel slid and tapped the metal lid.

The lid hit the jar, and the jar wobbled.

Water sloshed out and darkened a portion of the towel.

Miles said, "There it goes! The boat is fast!"

It slid under the bridge and entered the river.

一座窄窄的步橋離溪岸只有兩步遠。

柔拉和麥爾斯把一個罐子放在一塊平坦的石頭上。

金屬蓋子靠在石頭邊緣。

一條藍色毛巾攤在陽光好的草地上。

他們用一張紙折了一艘小船。

他們指向樹後那條寬寬的河。

涼涼的空氣從水面吹過，鑽到橋底。

一團小樹枝堵住溪裡的窄水道。

小船過不了那個緊緊的地方。

麥爾斯用一根長棍輕敲那團樹枝。

柔拉扶住罐子，並把袖子捲起來。

他們把碎枝拉開，堆起石頭引導水流。

他們停了一下，肩膀一起放鬆了。

柔拉把小船放進橋邊平靜的小水潭。

小船沿著新路徑進入流動的水裡。

水流湧過去，碎石滑動並敲到金屬蓋子。

蓋子撞到罐子，罐子晃了一下。

水濺出來，把毛巾的一部分弄深色了。

麥爾斯說：「它過去了！這艘船好快！」

小船滑過橋底，進入那條河裡。
