【Aiden in English】

        Ahh... there's nothing like a cool swim in the pool during an extremely hot day, is there? Let me tweak that sentence a bit. First, today wasn't extremely hot, and the pool was more incredible than extraordinary. Away cooler, you could say freezing, too. The instant I bit the water, it seemed like I hit a brick wall. The feeling was that bad. After 10 seconds in the pool, my feet and hands were numb. Tiny needles seemed to jab into my body, and I felt like I caught hypothermia. That's how cold it was. I jumped out immediately, and my friends could call me the chicken they wanted, but I was not going back in.

        Eventually, I jumped in again, but it was still not a good choice to go swimming today. In fact, by now, none of the days I was at the pool had been hot in Greater Philadelphia, PA. Well, it looks as if this summer is shaping up poorly for outdoor water play so far.

【红霞译】

        啊…大热天哪来这么酷的戏水池，是不﹖让我稍微纠正一下刚才的描述，首先，今天并非酷暑高温﹔其次，池水挺凉，说它凉得冻人一点都不为过。我一入水，如同撞到了砖墙，感觉特别不好。十秒钟后，我手脚麻木，浑身上下像针尖扎得一样，立刻得了低体温症，可见水有多凉。我赶紧跳出水面，顾不上落下胆小鬼或小伙伴们爱喊的其它什么恶名，此刻反正我不想泡在水里。

        最后，我又回到了池中，更确信今天不是游泳的日子。实际上到目前为止，宾州大费城地区没有多少天水温适宜。真的，今夏户外戏水太成问题。
