Ripple Surprise - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

The sun is warm. An otter slides into water. Ripples circle its smooth head. It swims toward the wide bend. Two hikers hike along the bank. Leaves float and change color above. A line of cans drifts across. Small insects dance above the surface. Light flickers on wet rocks. A distant bird calls once. Thin reeds sway beside stones.

The cans block the narrow gap. The otter bumps the first can. Metal clinks but stays tight. Suddenly, a large fish leaps. Its tail slaps the floating line. The cans break and spread apart. Water opens a clear lane. The otter glides through at once. Splashing fades behind its trail. Air sits quiet above branches. A small wave laps gently. The river stays still.

太陽很溫暖。 一隻水獺滑入水中。 水面泛起圈圈漣漪圍著牠的頭。 牠游向寬闊的河彎。 兩位健行者沿著岸邊行走。 落葉漂浮，色彩在上方變換。 一排罐子橫漂在前。 小昆蟲在水面上跳舞。 光影在濕滑的石頭上閃動。 遠處一隻鳥叫了一聲。 細長蘆葦在石旁搖曳。

罐子堵住狹窄缺口。 水獺撞向第一個罐子。 金屬叮噹，但仍緊貼。 忽然，一條大魚躍出。 牠的尾巴拍打漂浮的罐線。 罐子分開並散開。 水面開出一道清晰通道。 水獺立刻滑過。 濺水聲在牠身後漸弱。 岸上空氣安靜停留。 一小波水輕輕拍岸。 河面依舊平靜。
