Green Leaf Makes a Sand Bridge - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Can Keira make a sand bridge? She kneels by the damp sand. The grandmother stands at the wooden border. "I am right here," she says. A swing chain creaks nearby.

Keira’s knee rests on a soft jacket. The jacket lies on the wooden border. Her palm presses cool, damp sand. A crumbled rim sits beside a sharp rim.

She pours dry sand across a small gap. The pale sand slips down. The bridge falls.

She wipes the bucket rim. She tips a green watering can. A thin stream darkens the sand. She lifts the bucket. Two close towers stand. The grandmother’s tongue clucks once. Keira lays a green leaf across the gap. The leaf rests flat.

A new green leaf settles on the bridge.

凱拉可以做一座沙橋嗎？她跪在濕沙旁。祖母站在木邊。她說：「我就在這裡。」附近的盪鞦韆鍊條嘎吱作響。

凱拉的膝蓋頂在一件柔軟的外套上。外套放在木邊上。她的手掌壓著涼涼的濕沙。一個崩掉的圓邊靠在一個俐落的圓邊旁。

她把乾沙倒過一個小縫。淡色的沙子滑下來。沙橋倒下來。

她擦一擦水桶邊緣。她傾斜一個綠色灑水壺。一道細水把沙子染深。她提起水桶。兩座靠近的沙塔站著。祖母的舌頭輕輕發出「喀」的一聲。凱拉把一片綠葉橫放在縫上。綠葉平平地躺著。

一片新的綠葉落下來，停在沙橋上。
