新概念英语第二册课文翻译及词汇
Lesson94
【课文】
Experiments have proved that children can be
instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a
special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children
become expert at holding their breath under water
even before they can walk. Babies of two months old
do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water.
It is not long before they are so accustomed to
swimming that they can pick up weights from the
floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with
these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle
race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the
pool seven feet under water. The children compete
against each other to reach the other end of the
pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them
prefer to push or drag them. Some children can
cover the whole length of the pool without coming
up for breath even once. Whether they will ever
become future Olympic champions, only time will
tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among
us who cannot swim five yards before they are
gasping for air.

实验证明，儿童在很小的时候就可以开始学习游泳。
在洛杉矶 的一个特设的游泳池里，孩子们甚至在还没有学
会走路时就已经能熟练地在水下屏住呼吸了。两个月的婴
儿并未显得不愿意入水。他们很快便适应了游泳，以致能
捡起池底的物品。这些幼小的游泳运动 员非常喜爱的一种
游戏是水下三轮车比赛。三轮车并排放在

Lesson95
【课文】
When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home
for lunch, his wife got a shock. He looked pale and
his clothes were in a frightful state.
'What has happened?' she asked. 'How did your
clothes get into such a mess?'
'A fire extinguisher, my dear,' answered the
Ambassador drily. 'University students set the
Embassy on fire this morning.'
'Good heavens!' exclaimed his wife. 'And where
were you at the time?'
'I was in my office as usual,' answered the
Ambassador. 'The fire broke out in the basement. I
went down immediately, of course, and that fool,
Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me. He thought
I was on fire. I must definitely get that fellow
posted.'
The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions,
when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her
husband's hat.
'And how can you explain that?' she asked.
'Oh, that,' said the Ambassador. 'Someone fired
a shot through my office window. Accurate, don't
you think? Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the
time. If I had been, I would not have been able to
get home for lunch.'
