Ping-Pong Ball and Binder Clip Chain - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A tight band twanged on the wooden ruler.

Dante stood at a school table in the art room.

Two cups held the stretched band at the table edge.

A small crowd of classmates leaned closer to watch.

Emory said, "I think it can go now."

He slid a band from his wrist and hooked it.

He pulled the center back with a short pencil.

Cool air moved through the open window.

He let go, and the band snapped the pencil forward.

The pencil tapped a bent ruler under a light cup.

The ruler sprang free and whipped its tip upward.

A small rattle came from blocks in a plastic bin.

That tip flicked a ping-pong ball off a tray.

The ball squashed, then bounced into a binder clip arm.

A sharp click came from the little metal spring.

The arm bent down, then snapped and tossed a paper ring.

Emory raised a sponge tray to block the flying ring.

The sponge began to soak a small splash from art water.

The ring spins along the tile beside the tray.

一條繃緊的橡皮圈在木尺上發出彈響。

Dante站在美術教室的學校桌旁。

兩個杯子固定住被拉長的橡皮圈在桌邊。

幾個同學湊成一小群，身子向前看。

Emory說：「我覺得可以開始了。」

他把一條橡皮圈從手腕滑下，扣在上面。

他用短鉛筆把中間往後拉。

涼爽的空氣從打開的窗戶吹進來。

他放手，橡皮圈把鉛筆彈向前方。

鉛筆輕點壓在輕杯下方的彎曲尺端。

尺子解開束縛，尺尖猛地往上彈。

塑膠箱裡的積木發出輕輕的喀啦聲。

那個尺尖一彈，把乒乓球撥離托盤。

球被壓扁一下，接著彈進長尾夾的金屬臂。

小小的金屬彈簧發出清脆的喀噠聲。

金屬臂先往下彎，再彈回去，把紙圈拋了出去。

Emory抬起放著海綿的托盤，擋住飛來的紙圈。

海綿開始吸起一點美術用水濺出的水花。

紙圈沿著托盤旁的瓷磚地面旋轉前行。
