Petal Rises Over the Basket - 適合初學者的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A soft pink petal comes loose and turns.

Colette stands at the lawn edge.

Her toes press damp grass tips.

A thin petal drift lines the border.

She lifts her chin to a small gap.

Blossom clusters frame it.

She looks through.

Beyond the gap, a small field of grass lies.

The wooden bench is there.

Beside it, the basket.

A light sweet scent hangs under the branch.

A breeze bends the low cluster.

It blocks her view.

Colette walks to the bench.

She stops beside the seat.

She looks through the open top of the basket.

The thermos stands inside.

A small wooden plate rests near it.

The seat shows a smooth worn patch.

Steam lifts.

A pale line rises.

A drifting petal meets the steam and rises.

It slides away and turns.

"The tea is warm," the grandfather says.

His sleeve folds move with his breath.

Colette turns back to the gap.

It lowers near the lawn.

It settles on a grass tip and tilts.

一片粉色花瓣鬆開，旋轉著下落。

Colette 站在草地邊。

她的腳尖頂著潮濕的草尖。

細薄的花瓣層沿著邊緣鋪著。

她抬起下巴對準一個小縫。

成串的花把小縫圈住。

她往裡看。

小縫外面是一片小草地。

那裡有一張木長椅。

旁邊放著籃子。

枝下飄著輕甜的香氣。

一陣微風把低處的花串壓彎。

它擋住她的視線。

Colette 走到長椅。

她停在座位旁。

她從籃子的開口往裡看。

裡面立著保溫壺。

旁邊放著一個小木盤。

座面露出一塊磨得光滑的地方。

蒸氣升起。

一條淡淡的線往上升。

一片飄著的花瓣遇到蒸氣，也跟著往上升。

它滑開，又轉了一圈。

「茶是溫的。」祖父說。

他的袖摺隨著呼吸起伏。

Colette 又轉回那個小縫。

它在草地邊降下。

它停在一根草尖上，微微傾著。
