The Beetle's Surprise Tickle - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

What taps Kane's brown shoe?

He counts each touch while sitting.

The rock spreads wide like a table.

Soft water chatters beside his toes.

A round pebble rolls from moss.

It rests quiet on his shoe.

Kane whispers, “One,” lips barely move.

A pink rose petal drifts down.

The petal lands on his arm.

He murmurs, “Two,” breath staying slow.

A bright window of light slides.

It warms his cheek.

He breathes and says, “Three.”

A small beetle climbs onto his knee.

Its tiny feet tickle the skin.

His legs tremble yet stay still.

He counts, “Four,” breath settling again.

The dear grown-up across the stream watches birds.

Notebook edges peek from one pocket.

The round pebble stays quiet on his shoe.

什麼東西輕敲肯恩的棕色鞋？

他坐著不動，數著每一次碰觸。

岩石又平又寬，像一張桌子。

柔和的水聲在腳邊喋喋作響。

一顆圓圓的小石子從苔蘚上滾下。

它安靜地停在他的鞋面。

肯恩輕聲說：「一。」嘴唇幾乎不動。

一片粉紅野薔薇花瓣飄落。

花瓣落在他的手臂上。

他低聲說：「二。」呼吸依然平穩。

一道亮亮的光窗滑過來。

它溫暖了他的臉頰。

他吸氣後說：「三。」

一隻小甲蟲爬上他的膝蓋。

細小的腳丫在皮膚上搔癢。

他的腿抖了一下，仍保持不動。

他數著：「四。」呼吸再次平靜。

河對岸親愛的大人正看鳥。

筆記本邊角從口袋探出。

那顆圓石依舊安靜待在他鞋上。
