Summer pool parties are the best. The friendly and cool water, accompanied by hot temperatures, is paired with a BBQ featuring filet mignon, pork sirloin steak, cracker barrel chicken tenders/diced shrimp, grilled jumbo shrimp, marinated lamb chops, and home-grown veggies. There were many more things to do than swimming, but relaxing in the water was a unique experience. 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 I was on 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)
