Marble Rolls Under the Shed Door - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

The wooden handle is smooth under Halle's palm.

Cool metal touches her wrist as she lifts a box.

Cruz stands with her in the small garden shed.

Warm breath leaves thin steam in the cool air inside.

Rain taps on the roof in short bursts.

They want to test a small wind-up device together today.

"It runs well like that now," Cruz says.

Halle sets the box down and grips the knob firmly.

She twists the knob, and the fan spins fast now.

Air pushes light papers, and a pencil starts rolling away.

Dust lifts from the bench, and Halle sneezes hard once.

Her elbow bumps seed packets, and they slide sideways.

A small tin scoop drops from the messy shelf edge.

The scoop lands in a shallow tray of marbles nearby.

One marble rolls under a stool and keeps moving.

A soft paw swats it from the dark corner gently.

A dusty cat steps out, tail up, whiskers forward now.

The marble clicks through a gap under the door.

Halle turns her wrist and eases the knob slower now.

She angles the device downward, away from the papers nearby.

The fan hums lower, and the papers stop moving now.

"It runs well like that now," Cruz says.

She picks up the packets and stacks them neatly again.

Cruz carries the empty tray back to the shelf slowly.

木柄在 Halle 的手掌下很滑順。

她抬起箱子時，涼的金屬碰到她的手腕。

Cruz 和她站在小小的園藝工具棚裡。

她們的暖呼吸在涼涼的空氣裡冒出薄霧。

雨點一陣一陣敲在屋頂上。

她們今天想一起試試一個小型發條裝置。

Cruz 說：「這樣運轉起來很順。」

Halle 放下箱子，然後把手牢牢握住旋鈕。

她扭動旋鈕，風扇現在轉得很快。

風把輕薄的紙吹動，一支鉛筆開始往外滾。

工作台上的灰塵飛起，Halle 大大打了一個噴嚏。

她的手肘撞到種子包，它們側向滑動。

一支小錫勺從凌亂的層板邊緣掉下來。

勺子落在旁邊淺淺的彈珠托盤裡。

一顆彈珠滾到小凳子下面，還在繼續滾。

黑暗角落伸出一隻柔軟的爪子，輕輕一拍它。

一隻沾灰的貓走出來，尾巴豎起，鬚鬚朝前。

那顆彈珠喀一聲穿過門底下的縫隙。

Halle 轉轉手腕，讓旋鈕慢慢放緩。

她把裝置往下傾一點，避開旁邊的紙張。

風扇聲變低了，紙張現在不再移動。

Cruz 說：「這樣運轉起來正好。」

她把那些包裝拾起來，再次疊放整齊。

Cruz 把空托盤慢慢拿回層板上。
