成人英语三级

Doug: He‘s about to dive.
Liz: Watch carefully. On a platform you can do handstand dives.
Doug: He lost his balance. One of his feet touched the platform.
Liz: That‘s called a balk. One more and he gets a zero for the dive.
Doug: He‘s ready. There he goes!
Liz: Wow! He did a handstand reverse twist. Nice!
Doug: I can‘t believe with all that twisting his head went straight into the water.
Liz: He did pretty well. There was almost no splash at all. Too bad he balked.
Doug: Yeah， the judges are gonna penalize him for sure.
Liz: You‘re right. His highest score was 8.0 for a perfect dive.
Doug: All right. Let‘s watch the next one.
Liz: Hey， who said diving was boring?

道格：他要跳了。
丽兹：仔细看。在跳台上可以做倒立跳水。
道格：他失去平衡了。有一只脚碰到跳台。
丽兹：那是一次失误。再一次失误，他这次跳水就要得零分了。
道格：他准备好了。他要跳了！
丽兹：哇！他做了一组倒立反身转体。赞！
道格：真不敢相信那样转体回旋之后，他还能头朝下笔直入水。
丽兹：他表现很好。几乎没有水花。真可惜他失误了。
道格：是啊，裁判一定会扣他分数。
丽兹：你说的没错。他这次完美的跳水最高也只得了八分。
道格：好吧。来看下一个。
丽兹：嘿，是谁说跳水很无聊的？


重点解说：

handstand 以手撑地倒立
balk 犯规，失误
reverse （朝上下）翻转
twist （朝左右）扭转，转体
splash 水花
penalize 处罚，在此指因犯规扣分
