Balloon Air Lifts the Game Board - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Noemi pushed the small pump down with both hands.

Air ran through the clear tube into a striped balloon.

Yves leaned close and watched the neck stretch and shine.

"I can hold the tube," he said, chin near.

Noemi slipped the nozzle out; the balloon blasted a jet.

The puff slid under a thin game board on the table.

The lifted corner bumped a shallow tray of blue liquid.

A small wave ran over the rim and speckled the mat.

A mild soapy smell floated above the wet cardboard edge.

A bright beam lay across a tiny music keyboard by Noemi.

The plastic keys stayed dry while the drip curved to the mat.

"Got it," Yves said, and he passed a folded towel.

Noemi wrapped the towel around the hissing mouth and pinched.

The cloth puffed and trembled, and the air slowed.

Dust on the desk lifted, then slid away from the towel.

Beneath the cloth, the narrow neck kept hissing through fibers.

諾艾米用雙手往下壓小打氣筒。

空氣沿著透明管子流進一顆條紋氣球。

伊夫靠近，盯著氣球頸部拉長發亮。

他說：「我可以拿著管子。」下巴靠得很近。

諾艾米抽出噴嘴；氣球猛地噴出一股氣。

那股氣滑進桌上薄薄的遊戲板底下。

被抬起的角撞到一個盛著藍色液體的淺托盤。

一小道波紋越過邊緣，點點濺在墊子上。

一股淡淡的肥皂味飄在溼掉的紙板邊上方。

一束明亮的光斜落在諾艾米旁的迷你電子琴上。

塑膠琴鍵保持乾爽，而水滴轉回墊子上。

伊夫說：「搞定了。」他遞來一條摺好的毛巾。

諾艾米把毛巾包住嘶嘶作響的開口並捏緊。

布料鼓起又發抖，空氣慢了下來。

桌上的灰塵浮起，接著往毛巾外側滑走。

布料底下，那窄窄的頸口還在透過纖維嘶嘶叫。
