A Small Stone Bridges the Dim Gap - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Lena stands on a stepping stone. Light pools touch. A moth circles the glass globe. She looks at an open page. The page lies on the bench. A crewman on it holds a rail. Wax and damp grass mix. A thin green shoot stands by the garden bed. An older sibling stands in the doorway. "The coat is ready," they say.

Lena faces the next stone. Her leg reaches over the dim valley. Her toe taps the far edge. She steps back to her stone. Her long shadow stretches ahead. Shadows cross.

Her palm rests on cool stone. Fine path dust lines the gap. A small wax bead sits on the clay base. A small flat stone rests in the gap. She slides it to the middle. She steps onto it, steady. She steps to the next stone. A moth passes again. Its shadow falls on the page. The crewman turns dark briefly. Two light pools overlap her shoes.

Lena 站在一塊踏石上。光圈相貼。一隻飛蛾繞著玻璃球轉。她看向一頁攤開的書頁。那頁放在長椅上。頁上有一名船員抓著欄桿。蠟香和潮濕的草味混在一起。一株細細的綠嫩芽立在花圃邊。年長的手足站在門口。『外套準備好了。』他說。

Lena 面向下一塊石頭。她的腿伸過兩圈光之間的暗處。她的腳尖點到對邊的邊緣。她退回自己的那塊石頭。她的長影向前拉開。影子交錯。

她的手掌貼在涼石上。細細的路灰排在縫裡。小小一滴蠟珠停在陶質底座上。一塊小而扁的石頭躺在縫中。她把它推到中央。她踩上去，腳很穩。她再踩到下一塊石頭。飛蛾又掠過一次。牠的影子落在那頁上。船員的身影短短一瞬變暗。兩圈光重疊在她的鞋上。
