When Butter Blooms- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

A drip slides from the tap. Sunlight hits the smooth counter. Butter rests near the light. Warmth makes the butter soften. A pale oil bloom spreads. Gareth walks near the counter. He looks at the butter. He turns toward the sink. Thick soap suds float there. Time pulls the bubbles thinner. Small gaps open between foam. Gareth glances back at butter. The oil circle grows wider. The butter edge sinks lower. Farther along the counter, flour lies. It spreads like a white field. Two tiny sugar heaps sit there. Equality shows in their height. A cup with a lion picture steams. The soft hiss is exciting. A distant plate clinks.

水珠從水龍頭滑下。陽光照在光滑檯面。奶油靜在光線旁。溫暖使奶油變軟。一層淡淡油花擴散。Gareth 走到檯面旁。他看著那塊奶油。他轉身面向水槽。厚厚泡沫漂浮其上。時間讓泡泡變薄。小空隙在泡沫間打開。Gareth 回頭望向奶油。油圈變得更寬。奶油邊緣慢慢下沉。檯面另一頭麵粉平躺。麵粉像白色小田擴開。兩小堆砂糖坐在那裡。高度呈現對等一致。一只印有獅子的杯子冒蒸氣。柔和的嘶聲聽起來刺激。遠處盤子叮噹作響。
