Otter Pops Up by the Sand Pillar - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Foam crackles at the wet edge.

The grandmother sits on a striped towel.

Greta walks to the wet sand pit.

She looks at a small sand pillar.

Cool damp rests under her palms.

Her knees press the firm wet sand.

Fine powder clings on her fingertips.

A dark wet ring circles the pit.

Beside it, an old pillar shows a crumbled rim.

This new pillar holds a sharp, flat top.

A thin foam line slides nearer to its base.

One important gap stays dry here.

Then a small otter lifts its head.

It rises in the foam at the edge.

Water beads on its whiskers and nose.

Greta blinks and does not speak.

The foam spreads and hides the sharp top.

Greta shifts her feet a little to the side.

Now the view clears; the ring stays outside.

Greta watches the foam crackle again.

濕沙邊，泡沫嘶嘶作響。

外婆坐在條紋毛巾上。

Greta 走到濕沙的小坑邊。

她看著一根小小的沙柱。

她手心下有涼涼的濕意。

她的膝蓋頂著結實的濕沙。

細細的粉末黏在指尖上。

小坑周圍有一圈深色的濕環。

旁邊一根舊沙柱露出碎掉的邊。

這根新沙柱頂面平而清楚。

一條細細的泡沫線滑到柱腳更近。

這裡有一個重要的乾縫。

這時一隻小水獺抬起頭。

牠在邊緣的泡沫裡冒出來。

水珠掛在牠的鬍鬚和鼻尖。

Greta 眨了眨眼，沒有說話。

泡沫鋪開，把平平的頂遮住。

Greta 把腳稍微挪到旁邊。

現在視線變清楚；那圈濕痕還在外面。

Greta 又看著泡沫嘶嘶作響。
