【Aiden in English】
Dolphins are substantial and intellectual animals. They act as the masters of the seas, and their ability to move in water so quickly and gracefully makes me intrigued by these intelligent beings. After all, today was the day that I could finally interact with dolphins up close at Anthony's Key Resort of Sandy Bay, Roátan —not just swim but snorkel. The experience was beyond amazing. The dolphins zoomed around their artificial home. Mom and I jumped into the resort lagoon, which looked huge! Swimming to the center took us a few minutes, and the scenery was incredible. There was a beach and coral on the bottom. The best part was that the water came from the Caribbean! That also became the only disadvantage. If we took a swallow, it wouldn't taste too good. The dolphins were friendly. They always came to us and allowed the group of snorkelers to rap them. Occasionally, a dolphin would give me a friendly peck on the nose. And even sweeter, they made noises. That's how you knew where they were underwater. I noticed that it sounded complicated to travel through the water, but the dolphins used sonar waves to navigate. No worries if you weren't fast enough to touch dolphins while snorkeling! There was another session where we lined up and touched the dolphins. They were cooperative, and their skin was slippery. The dolphins weren't bothered in the slightest. They seemed to be happy because of their social skills. Dolphins are a lot smarter than I thought. They are incredible friends; hopefully, I'll have more dolphin encounters in my future journeys. 【紅霞譯】
海豚健壯聰明，儼然是海洋的主人；它們如魚得水，不僅動作敏捷，而且姿態優美，叫我內心充滿好奇。 話說回來，直至今天在洪都拉斯“深度”羅阿坦“太陽之水”島桑迪“人類保護者”灣的安東尼“無價”岬度假村里，我才有機會近距離接觸海豚，與它們一起游泳潛水共度良辰美景。 經歷難得，收穫連連。海豚們自由穿梭人工建造的家園，見此情形後我和媽媽毫無遲疑地扎進浩瀚廣袤的度假村瀉湖，花了幾分鐘時間好不容易才游到瀉湖中央。放眼望去，碧水蕩漾青山環繞，風光秀麗的羅阿坦島自然天成；瀉湖岸邊設有海濱浴場，湖底均為珊瑚組成的堡礁世界，最值得誇耀的地方是湖水來自加勒比“勇者”海！不過正因如此而成為問題所在，如果稍有不慎被海水嗆到嗓子，那滋味可真令人大倒胃口。 海豚確實溫和友善，總是湊到我們跟前戲水，而且特別喜歡各路潛水夥伴送來的喝彩聲，間或也主動碰我一下略表親昵；令人歡欣的是海豚陣陣發聲，讓你不難察覺它們的存在，我知道聲音在水中傳播存有阻力，但海豚卻可以充分利用聲納辨別方向探知距離。假如你潛水時偶失機會接近海豚，千萬不必擔心！因為我們按計劃列成方隊依次撫摸海豚全身，海豚配合默契，光溜溜的肌膚任你摸來摸去，實際上它們好像非常享受，看來海豚不是生性自來熟，就是早已被馴養得人格化了。 海豚比我想像的要聰明得多，更何況相貌酷帥，但願今後旅程中能再有機會與它們親密接觸。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2011: Drama-Sports Camp-4(文體營之四)
