Window Draft and the Puzzle Piece - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

June sits at the low wooden table beside the aunt.

The aunt sits close, her breath slow and steady.

The small ceramic cup sits rimful of warm tea.

A slow piano line comes from the hall.

Soft warm afternoon light rests on the smooth wooden table.

The small cardboard puzzle box lid shows a pebbled shore.

A bright stream lies beside that shore on the picture.

A thin draft crosses the table; the napkin edge lifts.

The wisp of tea steam slants toward the low window.

The draft stops; the napkin lies flat and still.

The steam rises straight for a short, quiet moment.

Air moves again; the small cardboard puzzle box lid wobbles, then rests.

Still air returns and holds for another moment.

June looks at the remaining small puzzle pieces on the table.

She prepares a sky-blue piece and turns it once.

She makes a gentle test fit near the right-shape gap.

A draft crosses, so she waits with the piece above.

The air stills; her fingers set the edge in place.

The smooth cardboard joins take the new shape and hold.

Air moves again across the table near the smooth wooden windowsill.

Steam bends, the napkin flickers, and the piece stays flat.

"It is quiet now," the aunt says softly.

Another small draft passes; the joined edges grip.

June 坐在矮木桌旁，阿姨就坐在她身邊。

阿姨坐得很近，呼吸緩慢而穩定。

小小的陶瓷杯裡溫茶滿到杯緣。

走廊傳來緩慢的鋼琴旋律。

柔和溫暖的午後光停在光滑的木桌上。

小紙板拼圖盒的蓋子畫著一條碎石岸邊。

在那岸邊旁邊，畫面上有一道明亮的小溪。

一陣輕微氣流掠過桌面；餐巾邊緣微微抬起。

一縷茶蒸氣斜向低窗那邊。

氣流停下；餐巾平貼而不動。

蒸氣直直往上升，持續一小段安靜的時間。

空氣又動了；小紙板拼圖盒的蓋子晃了一下，接著安穩下來。

靜止的空氣回來，又維持了一會兒。

June 看向桌上剩下的小拼圖塊。

她準備一塊天藍色拼圖，轉動了一下。

她在正好形狀的缺口旁，輕輕試著對一下。

一陣氣流掠過，所以她把拼圖停在上方等一等。

空氣安靜下來；她的手指把邊緣放進位置。

光滑的紙板接縫接住新的形狀，並且固定住。

空氣又在靠近光滑木製窗台的桌面上移動。

蒸氣彎了一下，餐巾抖了一下，而那片拼圖平貼不動。

「現在安靜了。」阿姨輕聲說。

又有一陣小氣流掠過；接縫緊緊扣住。
