Mittens Lined Up at the Snowy Door - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A small mug steams on the step. The aunt cups it. "It is quiet out here," she says. Kit kneels on the mat. Knees press the ribbed mat by a half-filled print. Snow dust rests at the edge. A sharp print sits beside it.

Kit sorts mittens on the mat. Kit lifts a red pair. Kit sets it straight. Kit lifts a blue pair. Kit sets it beside. A tiny gray pair waits. One small thumb tucks in and stays. Cold water smells faint.

Kit pinches the tucked thumb and pulls. It opens. Kit pairs the tiny ones. A shallow dish shows a painted farmer. It sits by the mat. Kit's sleeve taps the dish. It clicks. A bike leans by the wall. Wet dots speckle the mat near its tire.

A small fish tank stands on a low shelf. A plastic reef sits inside. Pale light slides through the water to Kit's cuff. Two pairs line the threshold. Seeds rest on a flat stone at the fence. A small bird lands on the stone.

台階上有一個小杯子在冒著蒸氣。阿姨雙手捧著它。「外面好安靜。」她說。Kit 在踏墊上跪著。膝蓋壓著有條紋的踏墊，旁邊有一個半填滿的鞋印。邊緣沾著細雪。旁邊還有一個清楚的鞋印。

Kit 在踏墊上分類手套。Kit 拿起一副紅色的。Kit 把它擺正。Kit 拿起一副藍色的。Kit 把它擺在旁邊。一副小小的灰色手套在旁邊。有一個小拇指縮在裡面不出來。有股淡淡的冷水味。

Kit 捏住那個縮進去的拇指，往外拉。它打開了。Kit 把小的配成一對。一個淺淺的碟子上畫著一位農夫。它放在踏墊旁邊。Kit 的袖子碰到碟子。它輕輕一響。一台腳踏車靠著牆。輪胎旁的踏墊上點著濕小點。

一個小魚缸放在低矮的架子上。裡面有一座塑膠珊瑚礁。淡淡的光穿過水面照到 Kit 的袖口。兩副手套在門檻邊排成一列。籬笆旁的一塊平石上擺著幾粒種子。一隻小鳥落在石頭上。
