中文故事

花园里那座旧棚屋(shed)曾是工具等级制度(hierarchy)的一部分。如今，它大多装着积满灰尘的铝制(aluminum)罐子，等待着有人来耗尽(deplete)他们的收藏。一只蜘蛛织了一张复杂的网图案(pattern)，但蜘蛛自己似乎逃避(shirk)了它的职责，在一个安静的角落里保持休眠(dormant)状态。也许，它也在思考秩序的短暂性。

英语故事

The old shed in the garden was once part of a grand hierarchy of tools. Now, it mostly held dusty aluminum cans, waiting for someone to deplete their collection. A spider had spun a complex pattern of webs, but the spider itself seemed to shirk its duties, remaining dormant in a quiet corner. Perhaps it, too, was contemplating the fleeting nature of order.
