The Stick Slips at the Tide Pool - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

On the sandy beach, Sylvie taps a foam bubble. It pops. Tiny rings spread. The sun is warm. A grey pebble sits by her knee. She taps it softly. Grit clicks on the wet sand.

Sylvie kneels by a tide pool. She presses a flat stick down. The stick skids on slippery seaweed. She moves to flat wet sand. A thin line stays clear. A beetle clicks along the planks.

Sylvie and Xander stand on the dry planks. A stuffed kitten rests in the bucket. Sylvie ducks to peek under the tilted boat. She taps the hollow in the driftwood. A low knock rolls inside. Xander says, "A hollow knock here." A wet circle widens on the wood.

在沙灘上，Sylvie 輕點一個泡沫小泡。它啪地破開。細小的圓紋擴散。太陽很溫暖。她膝旁有一顆灰色的小卵石。她輕輕點一下。濕沙上發出細碎的喀喀聲。

Sylvie 在潮池旁跪下。她把一根扁扁的木棍按下去。木棍在滑溜的海藻上打滑。她挪到平坦的濕沙上。一條細線清楚地留著。一隻甲蟲沿著木板發出喀喀聲。

Sylvie 和 Xander 站在乾燥的木板上。桶裡放著一隻絨毛小貓。Sylvie 低身往斜放的船底下看。她點一下浮木上的洞。低低的空響在裡面滾動。Xander 說：「在這裡有空空的敲聲。」木頭上濕濕的圓圈正在擴大。
