【Aiden in English】

        The 4^th Street Pool in Lansdale is probably among the best community pools ever. Last time, I couldn't go on the best slide there because no one would offer the qualified test. Today, a counselor gave me the test, which was easier than easy. I swam around 50 yards/45.7 meters, then treading water for two minutes. As soon as I passed, I bolted for the blue slide.

        The blue slide drops a child into the deep end from 3 feet/0.9 meters up in the air. It is so cool. I was instantly addicted and probably the closest I would ever come to flying. And at the very moment you drop, your body seems to float in slow motion. The ride made me feel better every time, and I would even call it relaxing. We also challenged our friends to race down two slides side by side. I can't say I was the fastest, but certainly not the slowest.

        Just as fast as we flew out of the slide, time flew, too. In what felt like minutes, it went from 1:15 to 2:45 p.m. Unfortunately, all things have an end, so this one came to an end, whether I liked it or not.

        兰斯代尔“四街戏水池”可能是社区级最好的戏水池之一，上次我因没有资格考试而未能享受风光无限的水上漂流。这回辅导员负责监考，考试本身比较容易，先来一段大约50码／45.7米远的游泳，接着踩水两分钟。刚通过全部测验，我如离弦的弓箭迅速消失在蓝色漂流之中。

        蓝色漂流将人从3英尺／0.9米高处冲向池底，感觉很酷，我即刻玩上了瘾，这大概叫我觉得最像在空中飞翔，下沉入水前那一瞬间，整个身体好似慢慢漂浮。每来过一回，我都倍感愉悦轻松，伙伴们更是你追我赶竞相争先，我不算最快、但绝非最慢的一位。

        我们漂流得越欢，光阴过得越快，仿佛度年如日，眨眼的功夫，时间从下午一点一刻跳至两点三刻，路再远终有尽头，事再好终有结束，漂流同样如此，无论我喜欢与否。
