【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 off, today wasn't exactly extremely hot, and the pool was cooler than cool. Away cooler, you could say freezing, too. The instant I bit the water, it seemed as if 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 be called me the chicken all they wanted, but I was just not going back in.

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

【红霞译文】

        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。
