Dry Cloth Clears the Foggy Window- 適合初學者的英語短篇故事

A faint dusty smell floats here.

Wade sits by the window.

Grey light fills the seat.

The air feels cool.

A thin dry ring circles the wood.

The ring stays round and clear.

Wade leans closer, hands behind him.

He shifts left on the cushion.

Raindrops tap.

A bead of rain swells slowly.

It is round like the ring.

Wade watches, still not touching.

Nora presses a sticker, then lifts.

A pale round ghost clings to glass.

Three shapes share one curve.

Blurred ground hides a far hill.

Fog blocks the wide view.

Wade takes the dry cloth.

He wipes a broad circle.

Clear glass shows the dark hill.

A small key rests near stones.

Dust rests.

Nora lets her fingers skip along them.

Wade scoops two pencils from the cup.

He lines each pencil one unit apart.

Nora tiptoes into the hall.

一股微微的灰塵味飄在窗邊。

Wade 坐在窗座上。

灰色的光灑滿座位。

空氣帶著涼意。

木窗台上有一道乾燥的細圓痕。

那圓痕保持清晰。

Wade 身子前傾，雙手放在身後。

他在坐墊上向左挪。

雨滴答響。

一道雨珠在玻璃角落慢慢鼓起。

它和圓痕一樣圓。

Wade 只是看，沒有碰。

Nora 把貼紙壓上玻璃又揭起。

淡淡的圓形痕跡留在玻璃上。

三個圓形有同樣的弧度。

模糊的地面遮住遠處的小丘。

霧氣擋住寬闊的視線。

Wade 拿起乾布。

他擦出一個大圓。

清晰的玻璃顯出那座暗色小丘。

小鑰匙躺在石子旁。

灰塵安靜地待著。

Nora 的手指在石子上輕輕跳動。

Wade 從杯中舀出兩支彩筆。

他把每支筆隔一個單位排好。

Nora 踮腳走向走廊。
