Jimmy lives in London and he began swimming a few months ago. He liked swimming, and he often goes to the swimming-pool near his house with his mother and swims there for an hour or two.
吉米住在伦敦，几个月前他开始游泳。他喜欢游泳，并且他经常跟他的妈妈去他家附近的游泳池，在那儿游泳一两个小时。
He was six years old last week, and his mother said, “You swim quite well now, Jimmy, but you’ve never seen the sea, have you? Your father and I are going to take you there on Sunday, and you’re going to swim in the sea. It isn’t cold now, and it’s much nicer than a swimming-pool.”
上星期他六岁了，他的妈妈说：“现在你游泳很好了，吉米，但是你从没见过大海，对吧？星期天你爸爸和我要带你去那儿，你要在海里游泳了。现在不冷，那比游泳池好多了。”
Jimmy’s father and mother took him to the sea in their car on Sunday, and they stopped at the side of a small harbour. Jimmy got out and looked at the sea for a long time, but he was not very happy. Then he said to his mother, “Which is the shallow end?”
星期天，吉米的爸爸和妈妈开车把他带到海边，他们在一个小海港的旁边停了下来。吉米下了车，望着大海好长时间，但是他不太开心。然后他对他的妈妈说：“哪一头是浅的呢？”
