Doorbell Rings on the Lantern Path - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A soft doorbell rings at the gate. Luke stands on a flat stone. His heel presses cool smooth stone with a scuff. Warm lantern light circles his toes. A small moth circles the glass. Damp grass smells clean.

He reaches toward the next stone. The dim valley is wide. His lace loop brushes the dust. A crispy leaf cracks under his shoe. He stops. An ocean-blue stripe shows on his sock.

It rings again. "I see you on the stone," the father says. His hand rests on the latch. Luke shifts to where two light pools meet. His palm settles on the garden bed edge. Pebbles press little marks in his skin.

He places his foot across. The next stone holds his weight. Warm glow gathers around his shoe. A moth lifts and floats past the posts.

木門那邊傳來柔和的門鈴聲。Luke 站在一塊平的石板上。他的腳跟貼著涼而光滑的石面，上面有一道磨痕。溫暖的燈光圈住他的腳趾。一隻小飛蛾在玻璃旁繞圈。潮濕的草有清新的氣味。

他把腳伸向下一塊石板。兩片光之間的暗處很寬。他的鞋帶圈輕輕掃過細灰。他鞋底下有片乾脆的葉子喀啦一聲。他停下。他襪子上露出一條海洋藍的條紋。

門鈴又響了。父親說：「我看見你站在石板上。」他的手放在門閂上。Luke 移到兩圈光匯合的地方。他的手掌扶在花圃的矮石邊。小卵石在他的皮膚上壓出小痕。

他把腳跨過去。下一塊石板承住他的重量。溫暖的光聚在他的鞋邊。一隻飛蛾起身，飄過一排燈柱。
