스토리 내용
English 원문
Steam curls up from Nora's warm plate.
Egg pasta shines in red sauce.
At the head, the father sits.
He grates cheese and hums a small tune.
A straw leans in Nora's cool glass.
A bead slides to the mat.
A light soap smell sits at the glass.
Nora's palm rests on the warm rim.
The glaze is smooth.
A dry smear sits by a new fork line.
Her fork has rounded prongs.
The father says, "More cheese for you?"
White flakes drift onto her plate.
Nora lifts one long noodle.
It slips back.
A corn kernel rolls across the plate.
It drops into a tiny sauce pit.
Nora presses down with the fork.
The noodle slides away from the prongs.
She twirls the handle slowly.
The noodle catches and lifts.
It hangs still.
A stray bead lands on the napkin.
Steam thins above the plate.
The noodle rests on her fork.

蒸氣從Nora的溫熱盤子升起。
蛋麵在紅色醬汁裡發亮。
桌首坐著爸爸。
他在刨起司，還輕輕哼著一小段旋律。
Nora的涼水杯裡斜放著一根吸管。
一顆水珠滑到餐墊上。
玻璃邊有淡淡的肥皂味。
Nora的手掌靠在溫暖的盤緣。
釉面很光滑。
一條乾的醬痕在新的叉線旁邊。
她的叉子是圓頭齒。
爸爸說：「要多一點起司嗎？」
白色薄片落在她的盤子上。
Nora夾起一條長麵。
它又滑回去。
一粒玉米在盤上滾過。
它掉進一個小小的醬坑裡。
Nora用叉子往下壓。
那條麵從叉齒邊滑開。
她慢慢轉動握柄。
那條麵勾住又抬起。
它靜靜懸著。
一顆小水珠落在餐巾上。
盤子上方的蒸氣變淡。
那條麵停在她的叉子上。
