I heard that the reason why Phelps lost that time was because he wore an older type of swimwear than his opponent, who wore the newest swimwear from Speedo, which feels like shark's skin or something, and supposed to help reduce the swimmer's friction in water, thus helping to make a person swim faster by two seconds... Don't know if it's true or not... Anyway, just sharing information here... ※ 引述《oddo (黑猪)》之铭言： : 原文： : Michael Phelps bounced back Wednesday with a new world record in the world swimming championships in Rome after being beaten by Germany's Paul Biedermann in the 400-meter freestyle. The 24-year-old American set the record in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:51.51, more than a half-second better than his gold-medal time at the Beijing Olympics. : 翻译： : 费尔普斯在罗马世界游泳锦标赛400公尺自由式项目遭德国选手毕德曼击败之後，周三再度称雄，创下新的世界纪录。这位24岁的美国泳将是在200公尺蝶式游出1分51秒51的佳绩，刷新世界纪录，比他在北京奥运赢得金牌的成绩快0.5秒以上。 : 字辞解析： : ＊bounced back （副词片语） : 反弹、恢复原样； : 除了球的反弹，可以用来指经济「复苏」、政治人物声望「回升」、体育选手「恢复水准」等等。 : 例句：Has New Orleans bounced back from Katrina? （纽奥良遭飓风卡崔娜破坏之後，是否已经恢复昔日荣景？） : A bouncer是一些酒吧或夜店外把门的人，如果有人酒喝多了乱来，由bouncer负责把他们请出去。 : ＊freestyle（名词） : 自由式； : Butterfly（或butterfly stroke）是蝶式，蛙式是breaststroke，仰式是backstroke，狗爬式是dog paddle，这次高雄世运赛的项目之一蹼泳，英文叫fin swimming。Fin原意是鱼的鳍，海泳或潜水时穿的蛙鞋，叫swim fins；鱼翅汤英文叫shark fin soup，因为它的材料主要是鲨鱼的鳍。 : Butterfly stroke或breaststroke等各种不同的游泳方式，前面要加the，动词要用swim，例句：Can you show me how to swim the freestyle stroke? （能不能示范怎样游自由式？）比较：He’ll teach you the techniques of starting a freestyle race.（他会教你自由式比赛起步的技巧。）这里的freestyle之前用a而不是 the，原因是冠词a是要跟race连用） : 此外，这些词有些可以当动词，例如：John breaststroked the whole distance.（约翰以蛙式游完全程。） -- --
