哥伦布英语 第 59 课：Swimming 游泳

When I was a boy, I liked swimming very much. 当我还是个小男孩时，我非常喜欢游泳。

Once my two brothers and I spent the summer holidays with my uncle and aunt in their house by the sea.有一次，我和两个兄弟到我叔叔和婶婶海边的
家里过暑假。

It was only twenty meters from the water. 从家里到海边只有二十米远。

Every day we put on our swimming shorts before breakfast, ran down to the sea across the sand and jumped in. 每天早饭前，我们穿上游泳裤，穿过沙滩，跑
到海边跳进水里。

From then until late at night, we were in the sea or on the beach most of the time. 从那时一直到晚上的大部分时间，我们都是在海里或沙滩上度过的。

When our aunt rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, 当婶婶摇铃时，我们跑回屋里吃东西，

but we ate it in our swimming shorts and were soon back in the sea again. 但是我们穿着游泳裤吃，吃完很快又回到海里。

The water was warm, the sun shone everyday, and on most days there were no
waves.海水很暖和，阳光每天都很灿烂，多数日子里，海上很平静。

In the middle of the day a wind always began to blow but it was not strong and did not make the sea rough. 每到中午时，风就开始刮起来，但是不很大，不会使大海变得波涛汹涌。
