"泳池英语"大科普

【谈游泳】

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

-Breast was my lazy stroke when I got tired.
蛙泳是我累的时候偷懒的游法。

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

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

-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.
蝶泳需要把握好时机，上半身要有力量，我出水的时候很有劲，但是再入水就变得像受伤的海豚一样，结果可能要比正常情况消耗更多的能量。

-Back in the day I could do three good laps but now I would be hard-pressed to make it halfway down the pool.
以前我可以连着游三个来回，但现在游一半泳道都艰难得很。

-I liked walking around the pool with the towel on my head, crushing on the lifeguard, and doing handstands off the diving board.
我喜欢脑袋上顶着毛巾在泳池边晃悠，对着救生员犯花痴，然后在跳水板上拿大顶。

-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.
在泳池里游几个来回以后，我就饿得要死，所以游完以后就吃一个Five Guys大汉堡，回家倒头就睡，费劲游了半天消耗的能量全都补回来了。
