"泳池英語"大科普

【談游泳】

-Breast and back strokes were my strongest strokes.
蛙泳和仰泳是我強項。

-Breast was my lazy stroke when I got tired.
蛙泳是我累的時候偷懶的游法。

-Backstroke is my best stroke. I wish I could do the butterfly.
蛙泳我游得最好，真希望我會游蝶泳。

-My breathing on freestyle was sporadic and I always ended up with water in my mouth.
我在自由泳的時候呼吸不勻，總是要吃好多水。

-Butterfly requires timing and a strong upper body and I would come out strong but re-enter the water like a wounded dolphin which probably cost me more energy that necessary.
蝶泳需要把握好時機，上半身要有力量，我出水的時候很有勁，但是再入水就變得像受傷的海豚一樣，結果可能要比正常情況消耗更多的能量。

-Back in the day I could do three good laps but now I would be hard-pressed to make it halfway down the pool.
以前我可以連著游三個來回，但現在游一半泳道都艱難得很。

-I liked walking around the pool with the towel on my head, crushing on the lifeguard, and doing handstands off the diving board.
我喜歡腦袋上頂著毛巾在泳池邊晃悠，對著救生員犯花癡，然后在跳水板上拿大頂。

-I would be hungry as hell after taking several laps in the pool. So I would get a Five Guys burger and then go home and go straight to sleep negating all my hard work from swimming.
在泳池里游幾個來回以后，我就餓得要死，所以游完以后就吃一個Five Guys大漢堡，回家倒頭就睡，費勁游了半天消耗的能量全都補回來了。
