Peach Rolls Into the Colander on Tile Counter - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

"The bowl is near the edge."

Gwen slid it toward the center. A clear glass bowl held fruit on the tile counter. She wanted the round peach with the small leaf. Cool air came through the window. At the counter, a small trade took place between them. Gwen passed a fork, and Hugo gave her a cloth.

Gwen stepped on the stool to reach the bowl. One leg caught a line between floor tiles and rocked. Her hip touched the counter and bumped the glass bowl. A damp ring let the bowl slide a little. One peach rolled a short distance and nudged a spoon. The spoon tapped a light cup, and the cup tipped. It spun on the floor and settled by the stool.

Gwen moved fast to the sink side of the counter. She bent low and reached from that new angle. The rolling peach dropped into the colander with a splash. "There it goes now," Hugo said. Clear water splashed up and wet her sleeve and hand. He pointed at the holes and grinned with his teeth. Gwen lifted the peach and set it on a towel. She patted the peach dry with the cloth.

「那個碗靠近邊緣。」

葛溫把它推向中間。瓷磚流理台上放著一個透明玻璃碗，裡面有水果。她想拿那顆圓圓的桃子，還帶著小葉子。涼爽的空氣從窗戶吹進來。在流理台前，他們小小交換了一下。葛溫遞出一支叉子，雨果給了她一條布。

葛溫踩上小凳子去拿那個碗。一隻凳腳卡在地磚縫裡，整個晃了一下。她的臀部碰到流理台，撞了那個玻璃碗。濕濕的一圈水印讓碗滑動了一下。一顆桃子滾了一小段，頂到一支湯匙。湯匙碰到一個輕杯子，那個杯子傾倒了。它在地上轉了一圈，停在小凳旁邊。

葛溫快步移到流理台靠水槽的一邊。她壓低身子，換個角度伸手過去。滾動的桃子跳進濾盆，濺起水花。「它跑進去了，」雨果說。清澈的水濺起，弄濕她的袖子和手。他指著那些孔洞，露出牙齒笑了。葛溫把桃子拿起來，放在一條毛巾上。她用那條布把桃子拍乾。
