The Last Note on Sand- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

Warm light falls over the beach. A small gull stands near driftwood. The sun is bright. Leftover party things lie around. One banner color slowly fades now. It hangs loose and dull. Near it, balloons shrink inward. Thin rubber folds on sand. Cake crumbs look tasty from far. Waves slide in and wet them.

Salt water softens each crumb. The gull looks for food. Crumbs sink, losing clear shape. A lone keyboardist packs his case. Footprints behind him wash away. Soft wind carries faint music. Sound turns quiet, almost gone. The celebration signs all fade. The gull tilts its head. The empty beach stays silent.

溫暖的光灑在海灘上。一隻小海鷗站在漂流木旁。太陽很亮。留下的派對物品散落四處。一面條幅的顏色正慢慢消退。它掛著、鬆垮而黯淡。旁邊的氣球向內縮小。薄薄的橡膠折疊在沙上。蛋糕屑在遠處看起來可口。海浪滑過來，把它們打濕。

鹽水把每一粒碎屑變軟。海鷗尋找食物。碎屑下沉，形狀漸模糊。一位鍵盤手收拾他的琴箱。他身後的腳印被沖走。柔和的風帶來微弱音樂。聲音轉為安靜，幾乎消失。慶典的標誌全都褪色。海鷗歪著頭。空蕩的海灘保持寂靜。
