Marble Rolls From Shelf to Bag - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A blue marble rolls from the shelf gap. It rolls. Astrid kneels on the soft mat. Her palm rests on a rough block. A waxy crayon scratch marks the wood. Faint wheel marks cross the mat. A faint woody smell rises from the blocks. Dust floats.

Astrid crawls behind it. Two cars slide beside it. Their wheels graze the mat. Elise sits by a leaning tower. She steadies it with one hand. She says, "There it goes under the shelf." In fact, a small groove lines the mat. Water dries near a damp patch.

The marble heads for the groove. A toy brick rests by Astrid's knee. She nudges it into the groove. The marble taps the brick and turns. It makes a quick dive into the bag. Astrid stops at the bag mouth. The cloth bag crinkles.

一顆藍色彈珠從層架的縫裡滾出來。它繼續滾。Astrid 跪在軟墊上。她的手掌按在一塊粗糙的積木上。木頭上有一道蠟筆的刮痕。墊子上有淡淡的車輪痕。積木飄出淡淡木香。微塵在空中飄動。

Astrid 在後面爬著跟上。兩台小車在旁邊滑行。它們的輪子輕輕擦過墊子。Elise 坐在傾斜的塔旁。她用一隻手扶住它。她說：「它往架子下去了。」事實上，墊子上有一道淺淺的槽。濕漬旁邊的水正慢慢變乾。

彈珠朝著那道槽前進。Astrid 的膝旁放著一塊積木磚。她把它輕推到槽裡。彈珠碰到積木就轉向。它一口氣鑽進布袋裡。Astrid 在袋口前停住。布袋發出細細的沙沙聲。
