大家好,欢迎来到 English Like a Native 播客,这

00:13
I'm your host, Anna, and today we are making a splash talking about swimming.
2
13530
6480
我是主持人安娜,今天我们要大谈游泳。
00:21
Now, when you think about swimming, I'm sure most of you consider a nice
3
21720
6360
现在,当你想到游泳时,我敢肯定你们中的大多数人会想到一个温暖的
00:28
warm day, the sun caressing your skin.
4
28080
3570
好日子,阳光抚摸着你的皮肤。
00:32
You're lying by the side of a glistening pool.
5
32310
3060
你躺在闪闪发光的游泳池边。
00:36
There're a few people maybe splashing around in the pool and you stand
6
36099
4011
可能有几个人在泳池里嬉戏,您站起来
00:40
up, stretch, show off your swimming outfit before diving gracefully into
7
40110
6675
,伸伸懒腰,炫耀一下您的泳装,然后优雅地潜入
00:46
the water and having a wonderful, relaxing swimming experience.
8
46785
5400
水中,享受美妙、轻松的游泳体验。
00:52
Well, I hope that's what you have in mind.
9
52605
2465
好吧,我希望这就是你的想法。
00:55
I'm hoping that's your experience.
10
55075
1470
我希望这是你的经历。
00:57
If, however, you've experienced swimming in the UK, it's very different.
11
57295
3380
但是,如果您在英国体验过游泳,那就大不相同了。
01:01
We don't really have many outdoor pools.
12
61615
3060
我们真的没有很多室外游泳池。
01:04
Now, an outdoor pool in the UK is often referred to as a lido.
13
64974
3871
现在,英国的室外游泳池通常被称为 lido。
01:09
In fact, I should look up the difference between an outdoor pool, and a lido.
14
69685
4300
事实上,我应该查一下室外游泳池和丽都的区别。
01:13
I'm going to do it right now.
15
73985
1350
我现在就去做。
01:16
Okay!
16
76295
720
好的!
01:17
I looked it up and I'm still none the wiser.
17
77375
3330
我查了一下,但我仍然一无所知。
01:21
If you are none the wiser, then you are no more clued up.
18
81515
4590
如果你一点也不聪明,那么你就不会再有线索了。
01:26
You're no more wise than you were before.
19
86375
1860
你并不比以前更聪明。
01:28
I'm none the wiser.
20
88265
899
我一点也不聪明。
01:29
It suggests that technically a lido is an outdoor pool that is close to a natural
21
89705
7440
这表明从技术上讲,lido 是靠近自然
01:37
body of water, like a lake or a beach.
22
97149
2966
水域(如湖泊或海滩)的室外游泳池。
01:40
So if there is a man-made area for swimming, close to a beach where you
23
100445
6644
因此,如果有一个人造游泳区,靠近有
01:47
have the sea, then that is probably a lido as opposed to an outdoor pool.
24
107089
5220
大海的海滩,那么它可能是一个海滨浴场,而不是室外游泳池。
01:52
However, it does also point out that there are city lidos as we have in London.
25
112649
6470
然而,它也确实指出了伦敦也有城市里多斯。
01:59
We have a lido in Tooting Beck, places like that, that aren't near a natural
26
119119
4591
我们在 Tooting Beck 有一个 lido,类似的地方,不靠近天然
02:03
body of water, but they are called a lido.
27
123710
3189
水域,但它们被称为 lido。
02:06
So, I'm not a hundred percent sure, and it seems neither is Google.
28
126899
3340
所以,我不是百分百确定,谷歌似乎也不是。
02:10
So, yes, we don't have many outdoor pools in the UK because
29
130299
5011
所以,是的,我们在英国没有很多室外游泳池,因为
02:15
we don't have the weather for it.
30
135310
1890
我们没有合适的天气。
02:17
We do have a lot of indoor pools, although many of them that are, I
31
137849
6084
我们确实有很多室内游泳池,尽管其中很多是,我
02:23
would say council-run pools, so kind of public pools that are available to
32
143933
4680
想说的是理事会运营的游泳池,是一种对
02:28
everyone, as opposed to pools that are part of a gym or a members-only club.
33
148613
6920
所有人开放的公共游泳池,而不是属于健身房或会员制的游泳池俱乐部。
02:36
Those would be, you know, exclusive pools, pools specifically for
34
156373
5255
你知道,那些是专为
02:41
members, but a public pool is a pool where you can just turn up.
35
161628
3600
会员设计的专属泳池,但公共泳池是您可以直接出现的泳池。
02:45
It doesn't matter who you are, you just turn up with your
36
165468
3150
不管你是谁,你只要带着
02:48
money and you pay to go in.
37
168623
1615
钱出现,然后付钱进去。
02:50
These public pools mostly are subsidised by the government, and in recent
38
170448
6260
这些公共游泳池大多是由政府补贴的,近年来
02:56
years, many of them have closed down because these buildings and facilities
39
176878
5505
,很多都关门了,因为这些建筑和设施
03:02
cost a lot of money to run and the government is running out of money.
40
182443
3900
成本很高很多钱要跑,政府的钱快用完了。
03:06
So they've been closing many of them down, which is unfortunate.
41
186553
4320
所以他们一直在关闭其中的许多,这是不幸的。
03:11
But swimming in the UK is mostly an indoor activity and as more and more
42
191323
8503
但在英国游泳主要是一项室内活动,随着越来越多的
03:19
pools close down, these few remaining pools that that are still available
43
199826
4870
游泳池关闭,这些仍然可用的剩余游泳池
03:25
tend to be a little bit oversubscribed.
44
205136
2280
往往有点超额认购。
03:27
So they tend to be quite busy.
45
207416
1530
所以他们往往很忙。
03:30
Now when you jump into a pool, you have the choice of different types of strokes.
46
210466
7680
现在,当您跳入游泳池时,您可以选择不同类型的泳姿。
03:38
Now, a stroke is basically the style of swimming that you choose.
47
218716
4370
现在,划水基本上就是您选择的游泳方式。
03:43
So the most common strokes that you would come across are my personal
48
223986
6840
所以你会遇到的最常见的泳姿是我个人
03:50
favourite, the breaststroke.
49
230826
2280
最喜欢的蛙泳。
03:53
The breaststroke.
50
233466
930
蛙泳。
03:54
The breaststroke is like, you're on your front and you are basically making a
51
234546
5240
蛙泳就像,你在你的前面,你基本上是
03:59
kind of circular motion with your arms, and you are doing frog's legs, so you're
52
239786
5370
用你的手臂做一种圆周运动,你在做青蛙腿,所以你用
04:05
doing that kind of wide, kicking out, big circles with your legs as well.
53
245161
4645
你的腿做那种宽阔的,踢出的大圆圈以及。
04:09
So I call it frog's legs and circle arms.
54
249896
3000
所以我叫它青蛙腿圈臂。
04:13
This is breaststroke and it's my stroke of choice.
55
253196
3210
这是蛙泳,这是我的首选泳姿。
04:16
Now.
56
256556
330
现在。
04:17
I used to be terrible at swimming where you put your head under the water.
57
257276
4170
我以前很不擅长把头埋在水里的游泳。
04:22
And so I used to do breaststroke just with my head, constantly above the water,
58
262111
4320
所以我过去常常只用头在水面上方做蛙泳,
04:26
but I'd find that I'd get neck ache.
59
266941
2100
但我发现我会感到脖子痛。
04:29
So after a while I thought, well, I need to rest my head
60
269311
3930
所以过了一会儿我想,好吧, 如果我做很多长度,
04:33
if I'm doing lots of lengths.
61
273241
1770
我需要休息一下 。
04:35
So we talk about swimming lengths.
62
275311
1410
所以我们谈论游泳长度。
04:36
So you swim a length from one end of the pool to the other is one length.
63
276898
4890
所以你从游泳池的一端游到另一端就是一个长度。
04:42
Now, depending on the size of the pool, a length could be a long
64
282418
3600
现在,根据游泳池的大小,长度可能很长
04:46
way or it could be quite short.
65
286018
2100
也可能很短。
04:48
I'm not quite sure the average size of a pool, I'm guessing it's around
66
288628
3540
我不太确定游泳池的平均大小,我猜
04:52
25 metres for the average pool.
67
292168
2520
普通游泳池大约是 25 米。
04:55
So you talk about swimming lengths, if you are an adult and a competent swimmer.
68
295498
3860
所以你谈论游泳长度,如果你是一个成年人并且是一个有能力的游泳者。
04:59
Beginners and children might talk about swimming widths,
69
299988
3580
初学者和孩子可能会谈论游泳宽度,
05:03
widths, it's such a mouthful.
70
303928
2310
宽度,它是如此一口。
05:06
I'm not gonna say this too many times, widths.
71
306238
2400
宽度,我不会说太多次。
05:11
That word is so tricky because you have a D, a T H and then an S.
72
311623
4110
这个词非常棘手,因为你有一个 D、一个 TH,然后是一个 S。
05:15
So your tongue goes from the alveolar ridge through the teeth
73
315793
2820
所以你的舌头从牙槽嵴穿过牙齿
05:18
back to the alveolar ridge, width.
74
318613
3360
回到牙槽嵴,宽度。
05:22
Yeah, tricky.
75
322963
750
是的,棘手。
05:24
So you either swim a width or you swim a length.
76
324013
4260
所以你要么游一个宽度,要么游一个长度。
05:29
Okay.
77
329023
290
好的。
05:30
And when you are younger, when you are, you are learning to swim,
78
330163
4430
当你年轻的时候,当你学习游泳的时候,
05:34
there are badges up for grabs.
79
334593
2930
有徽章可以拿。
05:38
So when you do your first width, you get a badge, and when you do your first
80
338233
5585
因此,当您完成第一个宽度时,您将获得一个徽章,而当您完成第一个
05:43
length, you get your 25 metre badge.
81
343878
3510
长度时,您将获得 25 米的徽章。
05:47
And then when you do two lengths without stopping, you get your 50 metre badge
82
347688
4410
然后当你不停地完成两个长度时,你会得到你的 50 米徽章
05:52
and so on, until you have lots and lots of swimming badges that your parents
83
352128
5180
等等,直到你有很多游泳徽章,你的父母
05:57
have no idea what to do with them.
84
357308
2610
不知道如何处理它们。
06:00
You can sew them onto your swimming costume perhaps.
85
360558
2310
也许你可以把它们缝在你的泳衣上。
06:03
I talked about the breaststroke being my stroke of choice.
86
363948
2520
我谈到蛙泳是我的首选泳姿。
06:06
Now, I did learn eventually to dip my head under the water with each stroke.
87
366498
4686
现在,我终于学会了在每次划水时将头浸入水中。
06:11
So with each stroke, I'd dip down and then push my hands forward.
88
371184
3800
因此,每次划水时,我都会向下倾斜,然后将手向前推。
06:15
And as I was then propelling my body forward, I'd lift my head back up and,
89
375354
4590
然后当我向前推动我的身体时,我会抬起头,
06:20
and wearing goggles meant that this was quite easy and not a problem at all.
90
380544
4950
戴上护目镜意味着这很容易,根本不是问题。
06:26
Now, the next most popular stroke is called the front crawl.
91
386514
5010
现在,下一个最受欢迎的笔划称为前爬。
06:31
You might sometimes hear this referred to as freestyle, and you are lifting each
92
391974
6020
有时您可能会听到这被称为自由泳,您 一次
06:37
arm one at a time, out of the water over your head, and putting your hand back in
93
397994
6480
将每只手臂抬起 头顶出水,然后将手放回
06:44
the water to then push yourself through.
94
404474
2310
水中,然后将自己推过去。
06:47
So you're bringing your arms one at a time over the head, continuously.
95
407774
4130
所以你一次一个地把你的手臂举过头顶,持续不断。
06:52
And your legs are together and you're just kicking your little feet.
96
412939
3240
你的双腿并拢,你只是在踢你的小脚。
06:56
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick.
97
416239
2160
踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢,踢。
07:00
I didn't learn this stroke until literally about a year ago.
98
420109
4380
直到大约一年前,我才学会这种划水。
07:04
I could never do it.
99
424989
1035
我永远做不到。
07:06
This is because your head is often in the water the whole time, and
100
426024
4075
这是因为你的头经常一直在水里,
07:10
so you have to lift your head every few strokes to breathe.
101
430099
4920
所以你每隔几下划水就得抬起头来换气。
07:15
And I found I couldn't get my breathing technique right.
102
435799
2850
而且我发现我无法正确掌握呼吸技巧。
07:19
I would start to panic.
103
439259
1680
我会开始恐慌。
07:21
I'd lift my head up out of the water and lots of water would go up my
104
441179
3630
我会把头从水里抬起来,大量的水会流进我的
07:24
nose, and then I'd start to choke and then I'd panic and I'd have to stop.
105
444809
5640
鼻子,然后我开始窒息,然后我会惊慌失措,我不得不停下来。
07:30
So I just felt a little bit silly trying to learn that.
106
450869
2640
所以我只是觉得尝试学习它有点傻。
07:33
But recently I was watching some documentary on free diving and about
107
453509
4620
但最近我在看一些关于自由潜水和
07:38
breath control and how you shouldn't panic, and I went to the pool and taught
108
458129
5640
呼吸控制以及你不应该惊慌的纪录片,我去游泳池自学了
07:43
myself how to do this breathing technique to get my front crawl and I've done it.
109
463769
6060
如何做这种呼吸技巧来让我的前爬,我做到了。
07:49
Yay.
110
469829
420
耶。
07:50
Now I can swim a couple of lengths of front crawl without
111
470249
2580
现在我可以游几段前爬泳而不会
07:52
getting too breathless.
112
472829
1230
喘不过气来。
07:54
The next stroke is on your back and it's called backstroke.
113
474758
4470
下一次击球在你的背上,称为仰泳。
07:59
Nice and easy to remember backstroke.
114
479228
1890
漂亮且容易记住的仰泳。
08:01
So it's like front crawl, in the sense that you are lifting one arm
115
481123
4495
所以这就像前爬,从某种意义上说,您
08:05
at a time out of the water, past your ear, and then back around.
116
485678
4830
一次将一只手臂举出水面,越过您的耳朵,然后返回。
08:10
So you're making these big circles with your arms one at a time.
117
490513
3445
所以你一次一个地用你的手臂做这些大圆圈。
08:14
And that's backstroke.
118
494468
1170
那就是仰泳。
08:15
And your feet, again, are just kicking.
119
495638
1440
而你的脚,又一次,只是在踢。
08:17
This is quite a relaxing stroke.
120
497498
2010
这是一个相当放松的行程。
08:20
Except for the part where you are getting close to the end of the
121
500563
3385
除了你接近长度末端的部分
08:23
length and you are not quite sure where the edge of the pool is.
122
503948
4620
,你不太确定游泳池的边缘在哪里。
08:28
So there's that nervousness of whether you are going to bang your head on
123
508838
3450
因此,您会担心自己是要用头撞
08:32
the edge of the pool or hit your hand against the edge of the pool.
124
512288
3840
泳池边还是用手撞泳池边。
08:36
So I always feel a little bit nervous at that point, but otherwise
125
516758
2160
所以那时候我总是觉得有点紧张,但除此之外,
08:39
it's quite a relaxing stroke.
126
519248
1590
这是一次相当放松的行程。
08:41
Now, if you are a super duper keen swimmer, then you
127
521828
5220
现在,如果您是超级游泳爱好者,那么您
08:47
may have tried butterfly.
128
527048
2580
可能已经尝试过蝶泳。
08:51
Butterfly is one of those strokes that's so hard, takes so much energy
129
531368
4740
蝶泳是其中一种非常困难的泳姿,需要如此多的精力
08:56
and knowledge of the technique that if anyone swims the butterfly stroke in a
130
536108
5880
和技术知识,以至于如果有人在公共游泳池里游蝶泳
09:01
public pool, everyone else is aware of it.
131
541993
3865
,其他人都会意识到这一点。
09:05
Everyone else stops and gawps at the person doing butterfly.
132
545888
4200
其他人都停下来盯着做蝴蝶的人。
09:11
And it's such a big deal doing a butterfly to be able to do it properly
133
551258
4020
做一只蝴蝶是一件很重要的事情,能够正确地做到这一点,
09:15
that I'm so nervous to even try it in front of other people because I would
134
555278
4460
以至于我什至在其他人面前尝试它都非常紧张,因为我可能
09:19
probably just look like I'm drowning.
135
559738
1530
看起来就像溺水一样。
09:21
So I might alert the lifeguard and cause a fuss.
136
561268
2910
所以我可能会提醒救生员并引起大惊小怪。
09:24
But, you know, everyone's watching you and when you are a complete beginner at
137
564798
4056
但是,你知道,每个人都在看着你,当你在
09:28
something, a complete novice, you don't want everyone watching you as you fail.
138
568854
4500
某件事上完全是初学者,一个完全的新手时,你不希望每个人都在看着你失败。
09:33
So it's one of those things that if I'm with lots of friends, I'm feeling
139
573764
3390
所以这是其中之一,如果我和很多朋友在一起,我感觉
09:37
confident, then I might give it a go.
140
577154
2070
有信心,那我可能会试一试。
09:39
But I generally don't feel confident enough to try.
141
579554
3940
但我通常没有足够的信心去尝试。
09:44
Now when I was researching this podcast and looking for the correct terms for
142
584589
4500
现在,当我研究这个播客并寻找
09:49
these strokes, just to make sure that I have been using the right terms all
143
589089
3150
这些笔画的正确术语时,只是为了确保我一生都在使用正确的术语
09:52
my life, I learned about a different stroke that I've never heard of before,
144
592239
5280
,我了解到一种我以前从未听说过的不同笔画,
09:57
and it's called the side stroke where you are lying on your side, you have
145
597939
5220
它是称为侧泳,你侧卧,你的
10:03
your head turned up out of the water, your lowest arm, the one that's nearest
146
603159
6050
头露出水面,你最低的手臂,最靠近
10:09
the bottom of the pool is out ahead of you and you are kind of gliding.
147
609209
3520
池底的手臂在你前面,你有点滑翔。
10:12
And you are propelling yourself with a kick and a push with your arm, but
148
612879
4490
你用你的手臂踢水和推水来推动自己,但
10:17
you are always on your side, and this is known as a resting stroke, that's
149
617374
3805
你总是在你的身边,这被称为休息划水,这
10:21
good for, you know, if you are in trouble in the water, you need to rest.
150
621179
3059
对,你知道,如果你在水中遇到麻烦,你需要休息。
10:25
Maybe you're not such a confident swimmer and you are in trouble.
151
625563
3110
也许你不是一个自信的游泳者,你有麻烦了。
10:29
This is a good way to continue to glide and propel yourself through
152
629613
3390
这是 在休息身体的同时
10:33
the water while resting your body.
153
633003
1680
继续在水中滑行和推进自己的好方法
10:35
I've never heard of it before, but it looks really interesting,
154
635473
2785
。 我以前从未听说过它,但它看起来真的很有趣,
10:38
so I might have to try that one.
155
638558
2251
所以我可能不得不尝试一下。
10:41
Okay, so let's talk about pools in the UK.
156
641214
3030
好的,让我们谈谈英国的游泳池。
10:44
I said the majority of pools are indoor pools and often people learn
157
644244
7248
我说大多数游泳池都是室内游泳池,人们经常
10:51
how to swim here through school, they'll go and use the public pools,
158
651492
5160
通过学校在这里学习如何游泳,他们会去使用公共游泳池,
10:56
and that's my experience, when I was at school, we would go to the local
159
656682
3750
这是我的经验,当我在学校的时候,我们会去当地的
11:00
public pool and they're not fancy.
160
660823
3540
公共游泳池,他们并不花哨。
11:04
There's definitely a smell of like mildew and mould in some of the corners.
161
664423
3880
某些角落肯定有霉味和霉味。
11:09
The water is heavily chlorinated.
162
669223
2610
水被严重氯化。
11:12
So there's a lot of chlorine being used to clean the water, and this is quite typical
163
672538
5280
所以有很多氯被用来清洁水,这是很典型的
11:18
of pools, to be cleaned with chlorine.
164
678468
2880
游泳池,要用氯来清洁。
11:21
But some, some fancy pools use different methods these days.
165
681588
4380
但是现在有些,一些花哨的游泳池使用不同的方法。
11:26
I think the pool in my local gym actually uses UV filters, so they use
166
686298
6950
我认为我当地健身房的游泳池实际上使用了紫外线过滤器,所以它们
11:33
like sunlight to clean the water, which I thought was interesting and very
167
693278
5190
像阳光一样使用来清洁水,我认为这很有趣而且非常
11:38
nice because chlorine stings your eyes.
168
698468
2490
好,因为氯会刺痛你的眼睛。
11:41
Stings your eyes something rotten.
169
701768
1665
刺痛你的眼睛腐烂的东西。
11:44
But when the water is cleaned with UV filters, it doesn't have that awful
170
704133
3810
但是当水用紫外线过滤器清洁后,它就没有那种难闻的
11:47
chemical smell or irritation to your skin.
171
707943
4540
化学气味或对皮肤的刺激。
11:54
So in most pools there are segregated changing rooms.
172
714113
4010
所以在大多数游泳池中都有隔离的更衣室。
11:58
It depends on the pools.
173
718793
1200
这取决于游泳池。
11:59
Some of them have one big open changing area, one for men, one for women, and
174
719993
5940
其中一些有一个很大的开放式更衣区,一个男用,一个女用,
12:05
you'll just have lots of wooden benches, maybe some hooks to hang your things on.
175
725933
4860
你只会有很多木凳,也许还有一些挂钩可以挂你的东西。
12:11
Other places will have not segregated areas for men and
176
731873
4473
其他地方将没有男女隔离区
12:16
women, but they will have cubicles.
177
736346
2550
,但会有隔间。
12:19
So it'll just be one big changing area with lots and lots of cubicles
178
739046
3960
所以它只是一个很大的更衣区,有很多很多隔间
12:23
so you can have your own little private space to get changed.
179
743006
3540
,所以你可以有自己的小私人空间来换衣服。
12:26
Often they are a little bit too small.
180
746546
1980
通常它们有点太小了。
12:28
There's hardly any room to get your clothes on and off.
181
748586
3180
几乎没有空间穿脱衣服。
12:32
But you know, you manage, and then there will always be some form of
182
752156
5415
但是你知道,你管理好,然后 更衣室旁边
12:37
locker area just by the changing rooms.
183
757781
4080
总会有某种形式的 更衣区。
12:42
And lockers will either be something you have to put money into, so you'll
184
762731
5520
储物柜要么是你必须把钱放进去的东西,所以你需要
12:48
need to have a loose coin, like a pound or a 50 pence piece or something,
185
768251
4680
有一枚松散的硬币,比如一英镑或 50 便士之类的东西,
12:53
and you put that in and it will release the key and allow you to lock.
186
773201
3450
你把它放进去,它会释放钥匙,让你锁。
12:57
Since the pandemic, coins have become less, well, they're not as
187
777641
4940
自从大流行以来,硬币变得越来越少,好吧,
13:02
much in use these days, so lots of places have been moving to remove
188
782581
6510
现在 它们的使用不那么 多了,所以很多地方都在努力取消
13:09
mechanisms that require coins.
189
789125
1890
需要硬币的机制。
13:11
So like parking meters and lockers that require coins are just problematic
190
791015
4620
因此,像需要投币的停车计时器和储物柜之类的只是问题所在,
13:15
because people don't carry money anymore.
191
795635
2280
因为人们不再带钱了。
13:18
So sometimes you will have a key that doesn't require any money.
192
798845
3740
所以有时候你会有一把不需要任何钱的钥匙。
13:22
So it's just a key that has a band that you then put around your wrist or your
193
802590
4555
所以它只是一个带有带子的钥匙,然后你可以将它戴在手腕或脚上
13:27
foot and, you know, you just take the key.
194
807145
3710
,你知道,你只需拿走钥匙。
13:31
Or they might have like a little digital system where you have a band
195
811905
4890
或者他们可能有一个小数字系统,你有一个乐队
13:37
that you are given when you go in.
196
817575
1710
,当你
13:39
So when you pay you're given a band and then you press that against any
197
819290
4155
进去的时候会给
13:43
of the open lockers, and then that locks your locker and then you just
198
823445
3780
你。储物柜然后你只
13:47
have to remember which one was yours.
199
827225
1470
需要记住哪一个是你的。
13:50
We have had it before where we've come out of a swimming pool with the children and
200
830495
5630
我们以前遇到过这样的情况,我们和孩子们一起从游泳池出来,
13:56
not remembered which locker was ours, and you're just walking around pressing your
201
836150
3450
不记得哪个储物柜是我们的,而您只是四处走动,将腕带
13:59
wristband against every single locker, trying to find the one that's yours.
202
839600
3580
按在每个储物柜上,试图找到属于您的那个。
14:04
Anyway, so you have your changing rooms, then you have your lockers.
203
844580
3630
无论如何,所以你有更衣室,然后你有储物柜。
14:08
Then some places will get you to walk through a cold pool of water, so a
204
848240
6270
然后有些地方会让你穿过冰冷的水池,所以
14:14
little like puddle of water, and this is to clean your feet before you go in,
205
854510
4980
有点像水坑,这是在你进去之前清洗你的脚,
14:19
and there will also be a shower section that you walk through because one of the
206
859580
4350
还有一个淋浴区你可以穿过,因为
14:23
rules here is to shower before you enter.
207
863930
3150
这里的规则之一是在你进入之前淋浴。
14:28
Not everybody does it.
208
868070
1111
不是每个人都这样做。
14:30
I have noticed some people will just happily walk straight in,
209
870470
3690
我注意到有些人会很高兴地径直走进去,
14:34
say, I'm not cleaning my body.
210
874400
1830
说,我没有在清洁身体。
14:37
But yes, we try and treat our pools like a shared body of
211
877265
4230
但是,是的,我们尝试把我们的游泳池当作共享的
14:41
water rather than a bathtub.
212
881495
1620
水体而不是浴缸。
14:43
It's not a bathtub.
213
883115
1050
这不是浴缸。
14:44
You're not here to clean your body, clean your body before you get in.
214
884255
3030
你来这里不是为了清洁你的身体,在你进入之前清洁你的身体。
14:49
So let's talk about some other rules that we have in the UK.
215
889775
4320
所以让我们谈谈我们在英国的其他一些规则。
14:54
I'm sure they're going to be shared rules across the world, but in case
216
894395
4140
我确信它们将成为全世界共享的规则,但如果
14:58
they're not, let me touch on them.
217
898535
1410
不是,让我谈谈它们。
15:00
Children must be supervised.
218
900485
2940
儿童必须受到监督。
15:04
So I'm not sure if there's an actual age limit, but generally children should
219
904535
4110
所以我不确定是否有实际的年龄限制,但
15:08
be supervised for obvious reasons.
220
908645
2340
出于显而易见的原因,通常应该对儿童进行监督。
15:11
Once they are competent swimmers, obviously it makes it a little bit
221
911745
3150
一旦他们成为游泳能手,显然这会让事情变得更
15:14
easier, but if they are not competent, if they can't swim, then an adult
222
914925
6480
容易一些,但如果他们不称职,如果他们不会游泳,那么
15:21
must be there with them in the pool.
223
921410
1795
在游泳池里就必须有一个成年人陪着他们。
15:24
There's also a rule for babies.
224
924555
2620
对婴儿也有规定。
15:27
So if your child is not potty trained, then they must wear
225
927175
4575
因此,如果您的孩子没有受过便盆训练,那么他们必须
15:31
proper swim nappies in the pool.
226
931750
2820
在泳池里穿上合适的游泳尿布。
15:35
So these, these swim nappies, when you are a first time
227
935260
2490
所以这些,这些游泳尿布,当你第一次为人
15:37
parent, they can catch you out.
228
937750
1770
父母时,它们可以让你失望。
15:40
You put the nappy on them believing it acts just like any ordinary nappy.
229
940090
4800
你把尿布放在他们身上,相信它就像任何普通尿布一样。
15:45
But it doesn't, a swim nappy will hold debris, if you know what I mean.
230
945700
5910
但事实并非如此,如果你明白我的意思,游泳尿布会沾上碎屑。
15:52
But it will not hold liquid.
231
952180
1500
但它不会保持液体。
15:53
I mean, it makes sense, right?
232
953780
1200
我的意思是,这是有道理的,对吧?
15:54
You don't want to get into the water and your nappy soak up the pool water,
233
954980
5370
你不想掉到水里,你的尿布会吸收池水,
16:00
and so you've got this huge nappy that's no good for anything weighing
234
960350
3390
所以你有这么大的尿布,它对任何压在你身上的东西都没有好处
16:03
you down, pulling your child to the bottom of the pool so they don't hold
235
963745
5755
,把你的孩子拉到池底,这样他们就不会不能装
16:09
water, which is a problem if you put your swim nappy on your child too early.
236
969505
5215
水,如果您过早将游泳尿布放在孩子身上,就会出现问题。
16:15
For example, if you're at home thinking, I'll get us ready for swimming, I'll
237
975245
3780
例如,如果你在家想,我会让我们准备好去游泳,我会
16:19
put my child in their swimwear straight away, and then all I have to do is
238
979025
2910
马上给我的孩子穿上泳衣,然后我所要做的就是
16:21
take off their coat and their shoes and we can go straight into the pool.
239
981935
2730
脱掉他们的外套和鞋子,我们就可以直接进入游泳池。
16:25
But then you've got to do the drive from home to the pool and get through
240
985595
3990
但是你必须从家开车到游泳池,然后穿过
16:29
the reception area and into the pool.
241
989590
2365
接待区进入游泳池。
16:32
And if you don't realise that these swim nappies don't hold water and your
242
992625
4340
如果您没有意识到这些游泳尿布不保水并且您的
16:36
child has a wee, then you're gonna have a little puddle to deal with.
243
996965
4600
孩子小便,那么您将需要处理一个小水坑。
16:42
So children who are not potty trained must wear swim nappies.
244
1002750
4320
所以没有受过如厕训练的孩子必须穿游泳尿布。
16:47
In terms of swimwear, swimwear is required.
245
1007420
3630
在泳装方面,泳装是必须的。
16:51
You can't go in there in your ordinary clothes.
246
1011530
2190
你不能穿着普通的衣服进去。
16:53
You have to be wearing a swimming costume or a bikini, or for chaps, you might be
247
1013720
5430
您必须穿着泳衣或比基尼,或者对于小伙子,您可能会
16:59
wearing swim shorts or swimming trunks.
248
1019155
3325
穿着游泳短裤或泳裤。
17:03
We often also talk about wearing Speedos.
249
1023860
2875
我们也经常谈论穿着泳裤。
17:06
When we say Speedos, we might be referring to the brand Speedo, but
250
1026975
5340
当我们说 Speedos 时,我们可能指的是 Speedo 品牌,但
17:12
often we are just referring to what are lovingly called budgie smugglers,
251
1032415
4890
通常我们指的只是被亲切地称为 budgie smugglers 的东西,
17:18
which is a slang term for Speedos.
252
1038055
2480
这是 Speedos 的俚语。
17:20
So these very tight briefs that men wear for swimming, they are Speedos, just in
253
1040535
8700
所以这些男士游泳时穿的非常紧身的内裤,它们是泳裤,就像
17:29
the same way that we use the brand name Hoover to talk about vacuum cleaners.
254
1049240
5290
我们使用品牌名称 Hoover 来谈论真空吸尘器一样。
17:35
Even if a vacuum cleaner is not the Hoover brand, it might be a
255
1055340
4890
即使真空吸尘器不是 Hoover 品牌,它可能是
17:40
Dyson vacuum cleaner, but we might still refer to it as a Hoover.
256
1060235
3085
Dyson 真空吸尘器,但我们仍可能将其称为 Hoover。
17:43
It's just one of those brand names that has become synonymous
257
1063350
3520
它只是那些已成为
17:47
with that particular thing.
258
1067400
1770
特定事物代名词的品牌名称之一。
17:49
So these budgie smuggler type swim briefs are known as Speedos.
259
1069840
5210
因此,这些鹦鹉走私者类型的泳裤被称为 Speedos。
17:55
Okay, other rules.
260
1075820
1260
好的,其他规则。
17:57
Very simple.
261
1077080
840
很简单。
17:58
Don't run, no running at the side of the pool.
262
1078700
2820
不要跑,不要在泳池边跑。
18:01
You don't want to slip and bang your head as you, as you
263
1081970
2970
当你 笨拙地掉进游泳池
18:05
fall clumsily into the pool.
264
1085600
2790
时,你不想滑倒并撞到你的头 。
18:09
No shouting.
265
1089170
870
没有喊叫。
18:10
No food, no drink, no photography, which is understandable, people
266
1090850
4470
没有食物,没有饮料,没有摄影,这是可以理解的,人们
18:15
are wearing their skimpies, they've got a lot of skin on show.
267
1095320
4170
穿着他们的短裤,他们展示了很多皮肤。
18:19
They don't want people taking photographs of them.
268
1099490
2100
他们不希望人们给他们拍照。
18:22
But if you've got little ones, then it's really sad when you're not
269
1102370
2840
但如果你有小孩,那么当你不能
18:25
allowed to film them in the water, 'cause they look so cute in the water.
270
1105210
3750
在水中拍摄它们时,真的很难过,因为它们在水中看起来很可爱。
18:28
Anyway, no rough play, so no fighting, no dunking.
271
1108965
5685
无论如何,没有粗暴的打法,所以没有打架,没有扣篮。
18:35
When I was younger, oh, my brothers used to love trying to dunk me under the water.
272
1115625
4020
当我年轻的时候,哦,我的兄弟们曾经喜欢试图把我扣在水下。
18:40
I hated it.
273
1120515
900
我讨厌它。
18:42
But you're not allowed to do it really in public pools.
274
1122105
2160
但是你不能在公共游泳池里这样做。
18:44
You will incite the wrath of the lifeguard.
275
1124265
4120
你会激起救生员的愤怒。
18:48
They will blow their whistle hard and tell you off for misbehaving
276
1128445
3240
他们会用力吹口哨并斥责你行为不端,
18:51
because that's what lifeguards do.
277
1131690
1645
因为救生员就是这么做的。
18:53
If they see you doing something you shouldn't be doing, they blow
278
1133335
4170
如果他们看到你在做不该做的事,他们就会
18:57
their whistle and they shake their finger, they wag their finger at you.
279
1137505
3770
吹口哨,然后摇手指,他们会冲你摇手指。
19:02
No dunking, no rough play.
280
1142430
2760
没有扣篮,没有粗暴的比赛。
19:07
Another obvious one is no going to the toilet in the pool, so don't wee in the
281
1147170
6090
另一个明显的是不要去游泳池里的厕所,所以不要在游泳池里小便
19:13
pool, guys, go to use the actual toilets.
282
1153260
2730
,伙计们,去使用真正的厕所。
19:15
Although the toilets in a swimming pool area tend to be horrid because
283
1155990
5130
虽然游泳池区的厕所往往很糟糕,因为
19:21
they're soaking wet, there's water everywhere and you just don't know.
284
1161420
3000
它们湿透了,但到处都是水,你只是不知道。
19:24
Is it pool water?
285
1164750
1320
是游泳池水吗?
19:26
Has someone missed the target and weed on the seat.
286
1166640
4080
有人错过了目标,座位上有杂草。
19:31
And then there's usually wet tissue paper everywhere, isn't there?
287
1171140
2820
然后通常到处都是湿纸巾,不是吗?
19:33
It's just, it's just a mess.
288
1173960
2310
只是,这只是一团糟。
19:36
An absolute mess.
289
1176720
1260
绝对的混乱。
19:38
Anyway, I'm complaining a lot about swimming, aren't I?
290
1178010
4330
无论如何,我对游泳有很多抱怨,不是吗?
19:42
Another rule is no bombing.
291
1182940
1950
另一条规则是不能轰炸。
19:45
So to dive bomb is when you jump and you bring your knees up to your chest
292
1185370
6780
所以潜水炸弹是当你跳跃时,你将膝盖抬到胸前
19:52
and hold onto your knees as if you are a ball, and then you, when you
293
1192150
4230
,并像一个球一样抓住你的膝盖,然后当你
19:56
hit the water, You make a huge splash.
294
1196380
3210
击中水面时,你会溅起巨大的水花。
19:59
This is called bombing, dive bombing, so don't dive bomb.
295
1199590
3600
这叫轰炸,俯冲轰炸,所以不要俯冲轰炸。
20:04
It's dangerous.
296
1204090
810
这很危险。
20:06
No diving in the shallow end.
297
1206130
2010
不得在浅水区潜水。
20:08
I don't know if I've already mentioned that.
298
1208650
1350
我不知道我是否已经提到过。
20:10
The shallow end is the end of the pool that is not very deep.
299
1210005
3755
浅端是水池不是很深的一端。
20:14
You can normally stand up in the shallow end.
300
1214020
2770
你通常可以在浅水区站起来。
20:17
The shallow end is where the children and the non-swimmers should congregate.
301
1217180
5170
浅水区是儿童和不会游泳的人应该聚集的地方。
20:23
And opposing the shallow end is the deep end.
302
1223580
2945
与浅端相对的是深端。
20:27
Okay, so you swim from the shallow end over to the deep end.
303
1227008
3030
好的,所以你从浅水区游到深水区。
20:30
Only competent swimmers are allowed in the deep end, and you can only dive
304
1230068
4380
只有合格的游泳者才能进入深水区,
20:34
from the deep end if diving is allowed.
305
1234598
3000
如果允许潜水,您只能从深水区潜水。
20:37
Some pools don't allow diving.
306
1237658
1860
有些游泳池不允许潜水。
20:40
Some pools actually have diving boards and diving platforms, so
307
1240178
4260
有些泳池其实有跳水板和跳水平台,所以
20:44
you could do some proper diving.
308
1244438
1740
你可以做一些适当的潜水。
20:46
If you want everyone to look at you, hopefully you won't belly flop, which is
309
1246583
5820
如果你想让每个人都看着你,希望你不会摔倒,这
20:52
very painful and quite dangerous actually.
310
1252403
1830
实际上是非常痛苦和非常危险的。
20:54
If you try to dive and you do it wrong and you end up belly flopping.
311
1254233
4710
如果你尝试跳水,但你做错了,结果你的肚子扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通扑通的。
20:59
Belly flopping is when you hit the water with like your body is kind of
312
1259723
6360
Belly floping 是当你击水时,你的身体
21:06
horizontal against the water, so all of your body hits the water at the same
313
1266653
4320
在水中有点水平,所以你的整个身体同时击中水
21:10
time and it makes a big smack sound.
314
1270973
2940
,它会发出很大的声音。
21:14
And it can be quite dangerous.
315
1274483
1290
这可能非常危险。
21:16
It can cause some damage, but it's painful, mostly, and embarrassing, if
316
1276573
5380
它可能会造成一些伤害,但如果
21:21
you get embarrassed by things like that.
317
1281953
1860
你因为这样的事情而感到尴尬,那会很痛苦,主要是,而且很尴尬。
21:25
So the other rule would be only swim in the designated areas.
318
1285463
5610
所以另一条规则是只能在指定区域游泳。
21:31
Often public pools are sectioned off, so there'll be a a section
319
1291523
4740
公共泳池通常是分开的,因此会有一个区域
21:36
that's for swimmers only.
320
1296623
1920
仅供游泳者使用。
21:38
So you'll find that there are a few lanes that have been sectioned off with
321
1298663
3900
所以你会发现有几条泳道被
21:42
rope to signal to everyone these are the areas for the serious swimmers.
322
1302563
6840
绳子隔开,向每个人发出信号,这些是认真游泳者的区域。
21:50
And some of the pools that I go to, they'll actually put signs up
323
1310258
3510
我去的一些游泳池,他们实际上会贴出标志,上面
21:53
saying fast lane and slow lane, or fast swimming, slow swimming so
324
1313768
6720
写着快泳道和慢泳道,或者快泳,慢泳,这样
22:00
that you know which lane to go in.
325
1320488
1590
你就知道该去哪条泳道了。
22:03
And then they'll be the free swimming area.
326
1323698
2070
然后他们就会成为免费游泳区.
22:06
A lot of swimming pools will also have designated times for families.
327
1326848
4680
许多游泳池也会有家庭的指定时间。
22:13
So if you like to take your children swimming, it's always best to check
328
1333223
3210
因此,如果您喜欢带孩子游泳,最好检查一下
22:16
that there is what we would call open swim or family swim times.
329
1336463
5370
是否有我们所说的开放游泳或家庭游泳时间。
22:24
A rule that I always found quite funny, if I see it on the rule
330
1344203
3590
如果我在规则板上看到一条我总是觉得很有趣的规则
22:27
board, is no heavy petting.
331
1347793
2550
,那就是不要重重抚摸。
22:31
This basically means like no kissing and fondling each other in the pool.
332
1351213
4500
这基本上意味着不要在游泳池里亲吻和抚摸对方。
22:35
If you are there with your lover, your boyfriend or your girlfriend, and you
333
1355718
5295
如果你和你的爱人、你的男朋友或女朋友在那里,并且你
22:41
are getting a little bit frisky in the pool, it's not appropriate guys.
334
1361013
4260
在游泳池里变得有点活泼,那么这不是合适的人。
22:45
Keep that to yourselves.
335
1365273
1710
把那个留给自己。
22:47
Don't do it in the pool.
336
1367013
1740
不要在游泳池里做。
22:49
You will have the lifeguard blowing the whistle.
337
1369173
1980
您将有救生员吹口哨。
22:51
So don't do it.
338
1371753
1050
所以不要这样做。
22:54
Keep your hands to yourself.
339
1374213
1290
把手放在自己身上。
22:56
So I talked about swimwear briefly, but the other things that you might
340
1376376
4290
所以我简单地谈到了泳装,但你可能会带的其他东西
23:00
take with you are a swimming cap.
341
1380666
3600
是泳帽。
23:04
You might like to don a beautiful swimming cap.
342
1384296
3690
你可能喜欢戴一顶漂亮的泳帽。
23:09
I've got a big purple one that I look very silly in when I wear it.
343
1389096
4145
我有一件大紫色的,我穿上它的时候看起来很傻。
23:13
But it's good to protect your hair, especially when you have lots of long
344
1393291
2730
但是保护你的头发是有好处的,尤其是当你像我一样有很多长
23:16
hair like I do, and I think it also makes you a little faster in the pool
345
1396021
4350
头发的时候,我认为 如果你没有头发的拖拽,
23:20
if you don't have the drag of your hair.
346
1400371
2190
它也会让你在游泳池里游得更快一些
23:23
Not that I'm timing myself these days.
347
1403221
2460
。 并不是说这些天我在给自己计时。
23:26
Then of course, you will need goggles if you're doing some serious swimming
348
1406221
3690
当然,如果你正在认真游泳,你将需要护目镜
23:30
or if you're playing with the children and you are messing around, diving
349
1410061
3180
或者,如果您正在和孩子们玩耍并且四处乱逛,潜入
23:33
under the water, trying to retrieve toys from the bottom of the pool, then
350
1413241
4800
水下,试图从游泳池底部取回玩具,那么
23:38
you're going to need your goggles so you can see, and so that you don't get
351
1418041
3570
您将需要护目镜,这样您就可以看到,这样您就不会
23:41
really sore eyes from all the chlorine.
352
1421791
1980
所有的氯 都会让 眼睛酸痛。
23:44
You might also need to take buoyancy aids.
353
1424761
2820
您可能还需要使用浮力辅助设备。
23:48
To be buoyant is to float, to pop up to the top of the water.
354
1428121
4940
浮力就是漂浮,浮在水面上。
23:53
So buoyancy aids are things that help you to float.
355
1433211
3270
所以浮力辅助设备是帮助你漂浮的东西。
23:57
The most common buoyancy aid is armbands.
356
1437021
5400
最常见的浮力辅助设备是臂章。
24:02
So these inflatable armbands that children wear.
357
1442481
3480
所以孩子们戴的这些充气臂章。
24:06
These days there are lots of other options for buoyancy with children,
358
1446351
5280
如今,孩子们有很多其他的浮力选择,
24:11
so you have like different types of jackets that you can put on, which I
359
1451631
4500
所以你可以穿上不同类型的夹克,
24:16
prefer actually, because I think it, rather than making them float from
360
1456351
3450
实际上我更喜欢这种夹克,因为我认为,与其让他们从他们的手臂上漂浮,不如让他们从
24:19
their arms, they are floating from their core, from their chest, and I
361
1459801
3840
他们的手臂上漂浮他们的核心,来自他们的胸部,我
24:23
think that's much more appropriate to help them to learn how to swim.
362
1463641
3120
认为这更适合帮助他们学习如何游泳。
24:27
There are also kind of like backpack buoyancy aids that they can wear.
363
1467571
4410
他们还可以佩戴类似背包的浮力辅助设备。
24:32
Some really fun ones shaped like shark fins and crocodile fins.
364
1472741
4560
一些非常有趣的形状像鱼翅和鳄鱼鳍。
24:37
They're quite fun.
365
1477991
840
他们很有趣。
24:39
And you might also need a foot protector.
366
1479401
5040
你可能还需要一个护脚器。
24:45
If you have something like a verruca or a wart or something
367
1485041
5400
如果您有疣或疣之类的东西,或者
24:50
that is infectious or seeping.
368
1490441
2840
有传染性或渗出性的东西。
24:53
If it's open, if it's an open wound, then you'll need to protect that.
369
1493281
3870
如果它是开放的,如果它是一个开放的伤口,那么你需要保护它。
24:57
So some people wear these kinds of like socks.
370
1497151
3060
所以有些人穿这种袜子。
25:00
Special kind of swim socks or verruca socks, if that's a word, actually.
371
1500946
4510
特殊种类的游泳袜或疣袜,如果这是一个词的话,实际上。
25:05
I don't know if that's a term that we actually use, verruca socks, but
372
1505506
2970
我不知道这是否是我们实际使用的术语,疣袜,但
25:08
they are special socks to protect your feet and protect everybody
373
1508476
3450
它们是特殊的袜子,可以保护您的脚并
25:11
else if you do have verrucas.
374
1511926
1910
在您患有疣时保护其他人。
25:14
Now if you are with children or learners, there will be some
375
1514978
4380
现在,如果您和孩子或学习者一起,
25:19
equipment that you could also take.
376
1519358
1620
您也可以携带一些设备。
25:20
You might take a kickboard, which I've always known as a float.
377
1520983
4135
你可以带一个踢水板,我一直把它称为漂浮物。
25:25
But sometimes it's referred to as a kickboard.
378
1525753
2310
但有时它被称为踢脚板。
25:28
I think kickboards, more specifically, have little handholds in the board.
379
1528063
5340
我认为浮板,更具体地说,板上几乎没有把手。
25:33
But this is basically like a piece of foam shaped like a square or a rectangle, and
380
1533703
5220
但这基本上就像一块形状像正方形或长方形的泡沫,
25:38
you hold it in your hands and you push it out in front of you, almost like you
381
1538928
3835
你把它拿在手里,然后把它推到你面前,几乎就像你
25:42
are leaning on it a little bit for aid.
382
1542763
2330
靠在它身上一点点寻求帮助。
25:45
And then you kick your feet.
383
1545183
1350
然后你踢你的脚。
25:46
So you use this when you're learning how to swim.
384
1546713
1950
所以当你学习如何游泳时,你会用到它。
25:49
With children, you might put it under their chests to give their chest a little
385
1549518
3330
对于孩子,您可以将它放在他们的胸下,让他们的胸部有一点
25:52
bit of buoyancy while they're learning how to kick and be confident in the water.
386
1552848
3900
浮力,同时他们正在学习如何踢水并在水中自信。
25:57
Recently, pool noodles have become very popular.
387
1557308
4560
最近,池面很受欢迎。
26:02
We have two pool noodles in our house, pool noodles.
388
1562318
4710
我们家有两种池面,池面。
26:07
It's quite a mouthful actually.
389
1567268
1260
这实际上是一口。
26:08
Pool noodles are quite useful for a number of things.
390
1568948
3280
泳池面条在很多方面都非常有用。
26:12
You can put them across your chest and rest your arms over them.
391
1572728
4198
您可以将它们放在胸前,然后将手臂放在它们上面。
26:17
Or you can treat it like a horse.
392
1577166
1920
或者你可以像对待马一样对待它。
26:19
We play horsey with it, so you put it between your legs and then it is like
393
1579086
5650
我们和它玩马术,所以你把它放在你的两腿之间,然后它就像
26:24
a U-shape comes up to your chest and the bit up behind you, and you ride
394
1584736
3960
一个 U 形到你的胸口,咬在你身后,你
26:28
it like a horse and you, you know, sing nursery rhymes with the children.
395
1588701
3505
像骑马一样骑着它,你知道,唱童谣与孩子们。
26:33
You can pull your child along with the pool noodle or you know, play around,
396
1593721
4050
你可以把你的孩子和泳池面条一起拉过来,或者你知道,四处玩耍,
26:37
bash each other on the heads with them.
397
1597771
1350
和他们一起打对方的头。
26:39
They are very useful for swimming.
398
1599121
3780
它们对游泳非常有用。
26:43
And then of course there are all sorts of different toys and watering
399
1603431
2580
当然,还有各种不同的玩具、喷壶
26:46
cans and rubber ducks that you might like to take along to the pool to
400
1606011
3300
和橡皮鸭,您可能会喜欢带它们去泳池,
26:49
enjoy some pool time with the kids.
401
1609311
3480
与孩子们一起享受泳池时光。
26:53
Now let's move on.
402
1613601
2460
现在让我们继续。
26:56
Let's move away from the equipment and move on to talk

它是位于巴斯的 Cleveland Pools。
27:27
Funnily enough, the city called Bath that has lots of Roman baths in it actually.
409
1647613
6160
有趣的是,这座名为巴斯的城市实际上有很多罗马浴场。
27:34
But also is home to the oldest public lido.
410
1654023
2935
但也是最古老的公共海滨浴场的所在地。
27:38
Now since 1994, swimming and water safety has been a statutory element
411
1658038
6790

每个学生必须学会如何做以下事情。
28:00
They must learn how to perform safe self rescue in difficult
415
1680973
4320
他们必须学习如何在困难的 水上情况
28:05
water-based situations.
416
1685293
1530
下进行安全自救 。
28:07
So that's things like learning how to float, learning how
417
1687183
3030
所以这就是学习如何漂浮,学习如何漂浮
28:10
to turn over in the water.
418
1690213
1290
在水中翻身。
28:11
So if you fall in the water, you can turn over and float on your back.
419
1691503
3200
所以如果你掉进水里,你可以翻身仰面漂浮。
28:15
Learn how to reach out and grab onto the side, and then
420
1695353
3740
了解如何伸出手抓住水边,然后
28:19
haul yourself out of the water.
421
1699483
2160
将自己拉出水面。
28:22
Because that takes a little bit of doing, doesn't it?
422
1702153
2190
因为这需要做一些事情,不是吗?
28:24
It's not that easy to get yourself out of the water if you are at the deep
423
1704343
4320
如果您身处深水 区且没有台阶或栏杆,
28:28
end and there are no steps or rails.
424
1708663
2280
要将自己从水中弄出来并不容易
28:33
Every student must be able to swim competently, confidently, and proficiently
425
1713103
6240
。 每个学生都必须能够胜任、自信和熟练地游
28:39
over a distance of at least 25 metres.
426
1719673
2650
过至少 25 米的距离。
28:42
So one length.
427
1722343
1140
所以一个长度。
28:45
And every student must use a range of strokes effectively, like front crawl.
428
1725373
5610
每个学生都必须有效地使用一系列的笔画,比如前爬。
28:51
Backstroke and breaststroke.
429
1731313
1920
仰泳和蛙泳。
28:54
So obviously I failed in terms of this particular set of requirements
430
1734193
5220
所以很明显我在这组特定要求方面失败了
28:59
'cause I wasn't able to do the front crawl when I left my school.
431
1739813
3920
,因为我离开学校时无法进行前爬。
29:04
Now the next fact is the Serpentine Swimming Club, which was founded in
432
1744366
6945
下一个事实是蛇形游泳俱乐部,它成立于
29:11
1864, is one of the oldest swimming clubs in the UK and it hosts a very
433
1751341
7740
1864 年,是英国最古老的游泳俱乐部之一,它
29:19
famous swimming race on Christmas Day, and it's hosted in Serpentine Lake,
434
1759081
6480
在圣诞节举办了一场非常著名的游泳比赛,比赛地点在海德
29:25
which is in Hyde Park where members brave the cold for a traditional dip.
435
1765561
6270
公园的 蛇形湖 成员们冒着寒冷享受传统的畅游。
29:32
I love that phrase.
436
1772131
660
29:32
To brave the cold, it means you go out in the cold weather and you are braving it.
437
1772791
7080
我喜欢这句话。
冒着寒冷,就是冒着寒冷的天气出门。
29:39
You are brave to tackle that cold weather.
438
1779871
3480
你勇敢地应对寒冷的天气。
29:44
And it's not just Serpentine Lake where this happens, there are a number
439
1784116
3710
发生这种情况的不仅仅是蛇形湖,
29:47
of traditions around the UK where people go, take off their clothes
440
1787826
4200
英国各地还有许多传统,人们会在最寒冷的冬天脱掉衣服
29:52
in the coldest depths of winter, and plunge themselves into the sea
441
1792026
6460
,作为一个大社区跳入大海
29:58
or into lakes as one big community.
442
1798516
2775
或湖泊。
30:01
Loads of people do it sometimes in fancy dress as well, but yeah, often
443
1801671
4445
很多人有时也会穿着奇装异服,但是,是的,经常
30:06
raising money for charity or just because it's the tradition, everyone does it.
444
1806166
3630
为慈善事业筹集资金,或者仅仅因为这是传统,每个人都这样做。
30:10
They brave the cold.
445
1810546
1290
他们不畏寒冷。
30:12
Anyway, so the Serpentine Swimming Club's, Christmas morning handicap,
446
1812346
3510
不管怎样,蛇形游泳俱乐部的,圣诞节早上的障碍,
30:15
it's called a handicap, is swum over a hundred yard course, and
447
1815856
4890
它被称为障碍,游过一百码的球场,
30:20
they do it for the Peter Pan Cup.
448
1820746
2460
他们这样做是为了彼得潘杯。
30:23
So that's the actual name of the race is the Peter Pan Cup.
449
1823346
2980
所以这就是比赛的实际名称是彼得潘杯。
30:26
That's what they are competing for.
450
1826326
2190
这就是他们竞争的目的。
30:29
Now, this race has been held every year since 1864.
451
1829416
3750
现在,这项比赛自 1864 年以来每年都举行。
30:33
And in the early years it was customary for the winner to
452
1833936
3995
早年的习惯是向获胜者
30:37
be presented with a medal.
453
1837931
1530
颁发奖牌。
30:40
Then author JM Barry, do you know JM Barry?
454
1840391
4020
那么作者JM Barry,你知道JM Barry吗?
30:44
He is famous for writing Peter Pan.
455
1844416
3625
他以写彼得潘而闻名。
30:49
He became associated with the Christmas Day race in 1903.
456
1849541
4590
他与 1903 年的圣诞节比赛有关。
30:54
So it had already been going for quite a while by that point.
457
1854191
3120
所以到那时它已经进行了很长一段时间。
30:58
And then he became associated with it because he first donated the Peter Pan
458
1858151
4350
然后他与它结缘,因为他首先捐赠了彼得潘
31:02
Cup to be presented rather than a medal.
459
1862501
2880
杯,而不是奖牌。
31:06
Now this coincided with his play debuting on the London stage.
460
1866371
4980
现在这恰逢他的戏剧在伦敦舞台上首次亮相。
31:11
So his play, Peter Pan, made its debut on the London stage in 1903.
461
1871351
4410
因此,他的戏剧《彼得潘》于 1903 年在伦敦舞台上首次亮相。
31:16
And like the fictional boy who never grew up, the race has
462
1876341
3835
就像那个从未长大的虚构男孩一样,这场比赛具有
31:20
taken on a legendary appeal.
463
1880176
2430
传奇色彩。 直到 1932 年情况发生变化
31:23
JM Barry continued to present this cup to the winner every year up
464
1883386
3930
之前,JM Barry 每年都会向获胜者颁发这个奖杯
31:27
until 1932 when things changed.
465
1887316
2640
31:30
Now the Serpentine Christmas Day race for the Peter Pan Cup is probably the oldest,
466
1890586
4230
现在,彼得潘杯的蛇形圣诞节比赛可能是
31:35
continuously swum race in the world, having been raced every year since 1864.
467
1895056
5760
世界上最古老的连续游泳比赛,自 1864 年以来每年都举行。
31:42
With the exception of 2020 when it was cancelled.
468
1902226
3120
除了 2020 年被取消。
31:45
We all know why, because of government regulations around the pandemic.
469
1905556
5150
我们都知道为什么,因为政府对大流行病有规定。
31:51
And next to the Olympic 100 metre freestyle race is almost the only swimming
470
1911846
4530
仅次于奥林匹克 100 米自由泳比赛的几乎是
31:56
race reported on throughout the world, with the winner's name appearing in
471
1916376
3870
全世界唯一报道的游泳比赛,冠军的名字出现在
32:00
media from America through to Malaysia.
472
1920246
3720
从美国到马来西亚的媒体上。
32:05
So it's quite a big deal.
473
1925286
1290
所以这是一件大事。
32:07
Only members of the club can take part.
474
1927806
2370
只有俱乐部成员才能参加。
32:11
So if you are London based and you love swimming and you'd like to take part on
475
1931106
4470
因此,如果您居住在伦敦并且喜欢游泳并且想在圣诞节参加
32:15
Christmas Day, then head to the Serpentine Swimming Club and become a member.
476
1935576
4500
,那么请前往蛇形游泳俱乐部并成为会员。
32:21
The final fact is the biggest and deepest pool in the world will
477
1941636
6480
最后的事实是世界上最大和最深的游泳池将会
32:28
be, it isn't yet, but it will be the Blue Abyss pool in the UK.
478
1948116
7470
是,现在还没有,但它将是英国的 Blue Abyss 游泳池。 因此,这家英国公司将
32:36
So this UK company is going to build the world's biggest and deepest pool
479
1956201
4110
在英国宇航员蒂姆皮克的支持下,在一个新项目中
32:40
in a new project that is being backed by a British astronaut, Tim Peak.
480
1960701
5190
建造世界上最大、最深的游泳池 。
32:46
Now it's called the Blue Abyss.
481
1966911
2400
现在它被称为蓝色深渊。
32:50
An abyss is an immeasurably deep gulf or great space.
482
1970481
6480
深渊是深不可测的鸿沟或广阔的空间。
32:57
You can't measure it.
483
1977291
960
你无法衡量它。
32:58
It's just huge.
484
1978251
2010
它只是巨大的。
33:00
So this is the Blue Abyss and it's going to be built in Cornwall, which is
485
1980831
4400
所以这就是 Blue Abyss,它将建在
33:05
a beautiful area in southwest England.
486
1985541
3000
英格兰西南部美丽的康沃尔郡。
33:09
And this pool is going to hold 42 million litres of water.
487
1989081
5610
这个水池将容纳 4200 万升水。
33:15
I mean, that's really hard to, how much is that, I don't know.
488
1995156
2550
我的意思是,这真的很难,那是多少,我不知道。
33:17
It's a lot.
489
1997766
600
很多。
33:18
But it's equivalent to 17 Olympic size swimming pools, or, and this is good
490
1998696
7770
但这相当于 17 个奥林匹克规格的游泳池,或者,这
33:26
for the Brits, 168 million cups of tea.
491
2006471
4645
对英国人来说是好事,1.68 亿杯茶。
33:32
Can you imagine that?
492
2012256
700
你能想象吗?
33:33
I still can't imagine it.
493
2013666
890
我仍然无法想象。
33:35
So this pool's going to be 50 metres deep and about, well, 50 metres long.
494
2015046
7600
所以这个游泳池要深 50 米,大约 50 米长。
33:43
And 40 metres wide.
495
2023406
1390
宽40米。
33:45
So it's gonna be huge and it's designed not for people to just go
496
2025666
5280
所以它会很大而且它的设计不是为了人们只是去
33:50
and pay a money and put on their buoyancy aids and have a splash around
497
2030946
4680
付钱并戴上他们的浮力辅助设备然后互相扣篮
33:55
dunking each other and dive bombing.
498
2035656
1560
和俯冲轰炸。
33:57
No, this place is not for the average swimmer.
499
2037276
2770
不,这个地方不适合普通游泳者。
34:00
This is to stimulate, stimulate.
500
2040636
2850
这是刺激,刺激。
34:03
This is to simulate, little slip of the tongue there.
501
2043726
4530
这是为了模拟,那里有点口误。
34:08
This pool is designed to simulate extreme environments, so it will be set up for
502
2048616
7110
这个水池旨在模拟极端环境,因此它将用于
34:15
testing underwater technology, including sub-sea robotics and mini submersibles.
503
2055726
7260
测试水下技术,包括海底机器人和微型潜水器。
34:24
The pool will also help to train astronauts and deep sea divers
504
2064006
3630
该水池还将有助于训练宇航员和深海潜水员
34:29
with hyperbaric and hyperbaric.
505
2069346
4860
进行高压和高压。
34:34
I don't know actually what the difference in pronunciation there is.
506
2074731
2190
我实际上不知道发音有什么不同。
34:36
Hypo, hyperbaric and hyperbaric chambers.
507
2076921
4260
Hypo、高压和高压舱。
34:41
So hyperbaric, h y p e r baric means there's greater or
508
2081571
6450
所以高压,高压意味着
34:48
higher than normal pressure.
509
2088021
2310
比正常压力更大或更高。
34:50
So the pressure is greater, whereas hypobaric, H Y P O baric,
510
2090361
6540
所以压力更大,而低压,HYPO baric,
34:57
there's less than normal pressure.
511
2097361
2010
压力低于正常压力。
35:00
So it's all about pressure.
512
2100121
1380
所以这一切都与压力有关。
35:01
So one is greater pressure than normal.
513
2101801
1860
所以一是压力比平时大。
35:03
One is less pressure than normal.
514
2103661
1970
一是压力比平时小。
35:05
And they're also going to have microgravity suites as well.
515
2105781
3960
他们还将拥有微重力套房。
35:09
So it's gonna be a really technical, fascinating place to be.
516
2109951
6480
所以这将是一个真正技术性的、迷人的地方。
35:17
But unfortunately most of us common folk won't get a chance to see it.
517
2117211
5250
但不幸的是,我们大多数普通人都没有机会看到它。
35:23
But very exciting that something so unique is coming to Cornwall.
518
2123041
4740
但非常令人兴奋的是,如此独特的东西即将来到康沃尔。
35:29
And 50 metres is a long way down.
519
2129641
1740
50 米是很长的一段路。
35:31
I have done some diving in my time and I did my deep sea diving
520
2131381
4854
我曾经做过一些潜水,并且我完成了深海潜水
35:36
qualification thing that you have to do to be able to go on deeper dives.
521
2136450
3810
资格认证,这是你必须做的才能进行更深的潜水。
35:40
I can't remember the depth.
522
2140310
1680
深浅记不清了。
35:42
I think an ordinary dive, when you do your ordinary diving
523
2142200
4050
我认为普通的潜水,当你进行普通的潜水
35:46
training, you can go to 12 metres.
524
2146400
1960
训练时,你可以达到 12 米。
35:48
But I think when you do your deep sea stuff, I think you can go to 30 metres.
525
2148500
5355
但我认为当你在深海做事时,我认为你可以到 30 米。
35:54
But, so 50 metres is crazy.
526
2154765
3190
但是,50 米太疯狂了。
35:58
It's, and it can be very dangerous.
527
2158645
1890
是的,而且可能非常危险。
36:00
So you always have to be super careful.
528
2160715
1680
所以你总是要非常小心。
36:03
Anyway.
529
2163985
780
反正。
36:04
Now we're getting onto a completely different topic.
530
2164825
3030
现在我们进入一个完全不同的话题。
36:07
I'm just scrolling now through my notes if you can hear my mouse.
531
2167915
2850
如果你能听到我的鼠标,我现在正在滚动我的笔记。
36:13
And it seems we have come to the end of my notes.
532
2173975
2550
看来我们的笔记已经结束了。
36:16
So what I'm going to do now is go and create the bonus episode where I'm
533
2176675
4290
所以我现在要做的是制作奖金剧集,我将在其中
36:20
going to talk about 10 water-based, swim based idioms that are used in
534
2180965
6690
谈论 10 个
36:27
common day-to-day English language.
535
2187985
2190
日常英语中使用的基于水的、基于游泳的习语。
36:30
And if you are a Plus member, then uh, make sure you check out the episode.
536
2190865
4110
如果您是 Plus 会员,那么请务必查看该剧集。
36:35
