Poster in the Small Studio- 適合中級的英語短篇故事

Morning light slanted through high windows of the small art studio.

Leo carried a broad canvas poster for the coming spring fair.

He hoped to hang it on the back wall before lunch.

Boxes of product samples that had arrived that morning stood along the narrow corridor.

Nearby, Mira mixed colors beside a spinning clay wheel.

She has already agreed to participate by showing her new pottery.

The air smelled of wet clay, and warm dust floated above the floorboards.

Soft music from an old radio wandered under the smell of paint.

Leo stepped sideways, but a stool holding Mira's unique vase blocked his foot.

He froze; a breath of hesitation kept the poster halfway to the wall.

Mira lifted the stool, yet her brush dripped across the floor path.

Wet paint met the cardboard edge, and bright green lines spread fast.

Leo twisted the canvas, trying to avoid the spill, and the backside flashed.

A bold seaside sketch, drawn last winter, had been printed there by mistake.

The scene fit the fair theme better than his planned design.

They exchanged quick nods, then carried the canvas outside.

Afternoon breeze lifted the poster where sunlight reached every passing visitor.

晨光透過小工作室高高的窗子斜射進來。

利奧抱著一幅為春季園遊會準備的大型帆布海報。

他希望在午餐前把它掛在後牆上。

當天早上送來的產品樣品箱排在狹窄的走道上。

不遠處，米拉在旋轉的製陶輪旁調色。

她已經答應參與，並展示她的新陶藝作品。

空氣裡飄著濕黏陶土的味道，溫暖的灰塵在地板上方漂浮。

一台老收音機傳出的柔和音樂在油漆氣味下輕輕游走。

利奧側身前進，可是一張放著米拉獨特花瓶的凳子擋住了他的腳步。

他僵住，一絲猶豫讓海報停在半空中。

米拉抬起凳子，然而她的畫筆滴下顏料，弄濕了地面路徑。

濕漆碰到紙板邊緣，亮綠色的線條迅速擴散。

利奧扭動畫布躲開濺漆，於是背面猛然翻出。

那裡竟印著他去年冬天畫的濱海素描。

這幅景象比他原先的設計更符合園遊會主題。

他們快速點頭，接著把畫布搬到室外。

午後微風托起海報，陽光正好照到每位經過的訪客。
