【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 had 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.

【紅霞譯】

        啊…大熱天哪來這麼酷的戲水池，是不﹖讓我稍微糾正一下剛才的描述，首先，今天並非酷暑高溫﹔其次，池水挺涼，說它涼得凍人一點都不為過。我一入水，如同撞到了磚牆，感覺特別不好。十秒鐘後，我手腳麻木，渾身上下像針尖扎得一樣，立刻得了低體溫症，可見水有多涼。我趕緊跳出水面，顧不上落下膽小鬼或小夥伴們愛喊的其它什麼惡名，此刻反正我不想泡在水裡。

        最後，我又回到了池中，更確信今天不是游泳的日子。實際上到目前為止，賓州大費城地區沒有多少天水溫適宜。真的，今夏戶外戲水太成問題。
