Leaf Lifts, Cup Sticks, Ring Darkens - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Cool dew dots Corbin’s fingers on the bench arm. His knees press the damp grass. Thin ridges line the wood grain. A pale dew ring sits on the arm. The father sits on the path bench. One hand rests on the stroller handle.

Corbin lifts a leaf corner. Under it, a tiny paw print marks the wood. He sets the leaf back. A duck approaches the pond edge. Its tail wiggles twice. A swing chain creaks once.

He kneels. By the oak roots, he flips an acorn cap. A golden side glows in sun. Under it, two ants wiggle. Ants move. He puts the cap back.

At the path stones, a crumpled cup sticks. Corbin slides a twig under its edge. He turns the cup a little. It lifts, slow and squeaky. A clear wet ring circles the stone. "I see you, Corbin," the father says. Corbin sets the cup back down. The wet ring darkens under it.

涼露點在 Corbin 的手指上，貼著長椅扶手。他的膝蓋壓著濕草。細細的紋路排在木頭上。長椅扶手上有一圈淡淡露痕。父親坐在小路旁的長椅上。一隻手放在嬰兒車把手上。

Corbin 掀起一角樹葉。底下有一個小小的爪印在木頭上。他把葉子放回去。一隻鴨子靠近池邊。牠的尾巴晃了兩下。盪鞦韆的鏈子輕輕響一次。

他跪下。在橡樹根旁，他翻了一個橡實帽。亮金色的一面在陽光下發光。底下有兩隻螞蟻扭動。螞蟻在動。他把帽子放回去。

在步道石旁，一個皺杯子黏住。Corbin 把一根小樹枝伸到邊緣下。他把杯子轉一點點。它慢慢抬起，發出吱聲。清亮的濕圈圍在石頭上。父親說：「我看見你了，Corbin。」Corbin 把杯子放回原處。杯底下的濕圈變深。
