中文故事

沙漠绵延,一派广袤的景象,生命似乎subsist(仅靠微薄之力生存)。一株充满精神的小植物,abundant(充裕)地生长着,从干涸的土地中奋力钻出。它梦想着雨水,一种能让它的叶子歌唱的saturation(饱和)。它望着云朵,如同天空中漂浮的cascara(咖啡果皮)薄片,并进行着开花的沉默rehearse(排练),为水份到来的那一天做准备。它知道,即使在匮乏中,它的希望也像牢固的glue(胶水),将它渺小的存在维系在一起,抵御着炎热干燥空气的inflation(膨胀)。

英语故事

The desert stretched, a vast expanse where life seemed to subsist on very little. A tiny plant, abundant in spirit, pushed through the dry earth. It dreamed of rain, a saturation that would make its leaves sing. It watched the clouds, like cascara flakes floating in the blue sky, and practiced its opening, a silent rehearse for the day the water would arrive. It knew that even without much, its hope was like a strong glue, holding its small existence together against the inflation of the dry, hot air.
