The Sliding Frost Bead at the Window - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Xavi pressed his warm palm to the frost-cold glass.

A grandfather threaded pinecones on the rug near him.

The radiator hummed softly beside the seat.

Warm air from it touched his cheek.

A picture book lay closed beside the radiator.

His breath made an oval fog on the inside pane.

He drew a short line through it with one fingertip.

At the same point outside, a clear bead formed.

It slid down and left a thin wet track.

He stood on tiptoe for a higher, adventurous reach.

Thea pressed her palm at the far end of the glass.

He lifted a hand to warn Thea about the bead.

The outside frost brightened where the track widened.

His fingers felt cold, so he wore the blue mitten.

He pressed the wool to the pane and drew again.

The new touch made only a faint fog circle.

Outside, the fast bead slowed, and the frost edge returned.

Along the oval mark, a thin frost edge spread.

Xavi把溫暖的手掌貼在結霜而冰冷的玻璃上。

一位祖父在他旁邊的地毯上串起乾燥的松果。

座位旁的暖氣片輕輕地嗡鳴。

它送出的暖空氣掠過他的臉頰。

暖氣片旁放著一本闔上的圖畫書。

他的呼氣在玻璃內側形成一圈橢圓的霧。

他用一根指尖在上面劃出一小段線。

外側同一個點上出現了一顆透明水珠。

它往下滑，留下一道細細的濕痕。

他踮起腳尖，做出一次更高、帶點冒險的伸手。

Thea把手掌貼在玻璃的另一端。

他抬起手，想要提醒Thea那顆水珠。

在濕痕變寬的地方，外面的霜變得更亮。

他的手指覺得冷，所以他戴上藍色童手套。

他把毛線手套貼在玻璃上，又畫了一下。

新的觸碰只留下了一圈淡淡的霧。

外面那顆滑得很快的水珠變慢了，霜的邊緣又回來了。

沿著那道橢圓的痕跡，一條細細的霜邊慢慢前行。
