Summer pool parties are the best. The friendly and cool water with the hot temperatures is accompanied by a BBQ of filet mignon, pork sirloin steak, cracker barrel chicken tenders/diced shrimps, grilled jumbo shrimps, marinated lamb chops, and home garden veggies. There were many more things to do than swimming, but relaxing in the water was exclusive. That is until I started going on the diving boards. The boards were so springy that kids leapt 6-7 feet or 1.8-2.1 meters. A few tricksters did some fancy backflips. I knew that skill eluded me, so I settled for a simple dive. The result was not how I planned. As I jumped, my feet slipped slightly. You know how I mentioned that the board was springy. When I fell, my dive turned into three-quarters of a backflip. I landed in the worst position, and it felt like fire. At least it faded away before I headed for home. But one thing that isn't leaving is this message: Diving Boards Are Dangerous! 【红霞译】
夏季水上派对堪称上乘选择，凉爽宜人的池水对冲热辣焦躁的天气，户外烧烤野餐再精诚打造免翁牛柳、猪肉沙朗牛排、爆炸鸡脯虾块、清焙大虾、红烧羊排，配上自家种植的新鲜蔬菜，令人情趣横生。当然，尚有不少比游泳更叫劲的活动，但上善若水，水本身保持颐神养性的独特方式。 直到玩起跳板跳水，我方才体验到别有一番感觉在心间。跳板弹性极大，正因如此，人们能够纵身飞出六七英尺／两米左右以远，有的老手甚至身怀绝技，善做高难度花样表演，后空翻扎猛入水，而我只会普通跳水，自娱自乐。 可事与愿违，起跳瞬间，我的脚略微滑歪了一点，正如前面所说，跳板弹性很大，结果稍不留意，我后背倾斜错位入水，顿时浑身上下苦不堪言，好在回家之前痛楚减缓。不过从中我汲取教训：跳水板危险重重，绝不是闹着玩的地方！ Today in History(历史上的今天): 2013: Drama Camp-4(戏剧夏令营之四)
