A Moth Lands on the Fence Post - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A small golden light holds on the fence rail.

Stella sits on a soft blanket.

Her shoulder rests on the mother.

The mother tucks the blanket corner firm.

A cotton skirt brushes Stella's arm.

Faint earth smell rises by the grass.

Her fingertip rests on the warm thermos.

A fold line sits along the blanket edge.

She looks to the fence.

The thermos blocks part of the view.

She leans to the other side.

Now the rail is clear.

The light holds. Then it fades.

A bird statue sits on the post.

The wood is smooth in the dark.

The post is in want of paint.

She turns up to the sky.

A faint star steadies near the moon edge.

She turns back the same way.

At the sky spot, one small star sits.

At the fence, a thin scratch lines the rail.

Back at the blanket edge, a dew drop hangs.

"There it is," the mother says.

The air stays still.

On the post, a soft moth lands.

一個小小的金色亮點停在木柵欄的上沿。

Stella 坐在一條柔軟的毯子上。

她的肩膀靠著媽媽。

媽媽把毯角壓得很穩。

一條棉裙輕擦過 Stella 的手臂。

草邊有淡淡土味飄起。

她的指尖碰著溫熱的保溫瓶。

毯子邊上留著一條摺痕。

她望向柵欄。

保溫瓶擋住了一部分視線。

她把身體向另一邊傾過去。

現在欄杆看得清楚了。

那個亮點停著。然後慢慢變暗。

一個小鳥石像坐在柱頭上。

黑暗中，木頭很光滑。

這根柱子缺漆。

她又抬頭看天空。

月亮邊上有一顆淡淡的星慢慢定住。

她照原路轉回來。

在天空那一處，有一顆小星星。

到柵欄那邊，欄杆上有一道細痕。

回到毯子邊，一滴露水掛著。

「在那裡。」媽媽說。

空氣很靜。

在柱頭上，一隻淡色的飛蛾落下來。
