【翻译写作】练习之四原文+汇总，欢迎大家探讨

实验证明，儿童在很小的时候就可以开始学习游泳。在洛杉矶的一个特设的游泳池里，孩子们甚至在还没有学会走路时就已经能熟练地在水下屏住呼吸了。两个月的 婴儿并未显得不愿意入水。他们很快便适应了游泳，以致能捡起池底的物品。这些幼小的游泳运动员非常喜爱的一种游戏是水下三轮车比赛。三轮车并排放在7英尺 深的游泳池底上。孩子们比赛看谁先到达游泳池的另一端。很多孩子用脚蹬车，但多数孩子更愿意推或是拉着三轮车。有些孩子能够跑完游泳池的全长而不用露出水 面换气。他们将来是否能成为奥林匹克的冠军，这只能由时间来作出回答。与此同时，他们对我们中的那些游不了5码就已喘不过气来的人应该是种鼓舞。

原文：NCE II Lesson 94: Future champions

Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.

It has been proved by experiments that children are able to learn swimming at  very early age. In a special swimming pool in Los Angles, infants have been able to hold breath under water before they can walk. The two-month infants show no sign of being unwilling in water. They adapt to swimming so quickly that they can pick up objects on the bottom of the pool. Their favorite sport is a tricycle race in water. Tricycles are set side by side on the bottom of swimming pool of seven feet deep. The one who first reaches the other end of the pool wins. Many kids pedal the tricycles whereas more prefer pushing or pulling the devices. Some of them have been able to cover the whole distance without lift（lifting） their head out of the water for breathing. Only may time answer if they become an Olympic champions in (the) future. They should be very encouraging for some of us who become out of breath in trying to swim the first five yards.

Experiments have shown that children can start learning to swim when they are very young. In a specially-designed swimming pool of Los Angeles, children that couldn’t walk yet held their breath under water with ease. Even two-month-old infants did not appear hesitant going into the water. They got used to swimming so fast as to pick up stuff from the pool bottom. One of the young swimmers’ favorite games was underwater tricycle race. Tricycles were lined up on the 7-foot-deep swimming pool bottom. The children competed to be the first to reach the other end of the pool. Many children paddled with their feet on the tricycles, but most of them liked to push or pull them. Some children could go the whole length without breathing out of the water. Only time can tell whether they could become an Olympic Champions or not. In the meanwhile, it should be an inspiration for those of us who can’t swim more than 5 yards without being out of breath.

Experiments show that children may begin learning swimming at an early age. In a specific swimming pool in Los Angeles, children are able to skillfully hold their breath under the water even though they have not learned walking yet. Two months old babies(这个不是太确定，但觉得年龄做形容词的时候应该：Two-month-old babies) do not show that they are reluctant to go into （the）water. They are used to swimming very soon, so that they may pick up stuff underneath the water. One of the little swimmers' most favorite games is the tricycle race underneath the water. The tricycles are lined in a row underneath of the 7- foot-depth swimming pool. It is to see who is going to reach the other end of the swimming pool first. Many children step into the tricycle, but most of the children either push or pull them. Some of the children can even finish running the whole length of the swimming pool without breathing above water. Whether they are able to win championship in the Olympics, it depends on the time to give an answer. In the meantime, they should be an inspiration to those who are unable to breath after swiming less than 5 feet.

It has been proved experimentally that children can learn how to swim at young age. In a specially-designed swimming pool in Los Angeles, children could hold their breath skillfully before they learned how to walk. Two-month old babies did not show unwillingness to be in water, and they quickly learned swimming and could pick up the objects placed at the bottom of the pool. One of the favorable games of these young swimmers is underwater tricycle racing. Tricycles are placed in parallel 7 feet under the water. Children raced to see who would be the first to reach the other end. Many children paddled the tricycles, but most of them liked to push or pull their tricycles. Some of them raced the whole length without coming out of water to breathe. Only time will tell if they will become champions of Olympic Game. At mean time, they encourage us who are out of breath after swimming for less than 5 yards.

Experiments show that children can learn swimming at their very early age.  In Los Ange, children even learn how to hold their breath effortlessly under water in a specially designed swiming pool. There is no sign that the two months old babies refuse to get into the water.  They get used to swimming so soon that they are able to pick up things from the bottom of the pool.  One of the games that these baby athelets enjoy very much is the under-water tricycle race.  Tricycles are lined up at the bottom of a swiming pool of seven feet deep.   The game is to see which baby will reach the other end of the pool first.  Many of them pad the peddle with their feet.  But most of  them rather push or pull the tricycles.  Some of the babies even can swming across the pool whihtout letting their face get out of the water to take a breath.   Only time can tell whether they will be a future Olympic champion.  Meanwhile, aren't they an inspiration for those of us who are out of breath just by swmming no more than five yards.

Experiments indicate that children can begin their swimming lessons at a very early age. In a specially designed swimming pool in Los Angles, children were able to skillfully hold their breath under water even while still unable to walk (or learning to walk). Two-month old babies did not seem to hesitate to enter（the） water. They adapted themselves to swimming so quickly that they could even pick up objects from the bottom of the pool. One of those little athletes' favorite games was the under-water tricycle competition. Tricycles were lined up on the bottom of this 7 foot deep pool. The children competed to see who would be the first one to reach the other side of the pool. Many children pedaled, but most would rather push or pull their tricycles. Some ran the entire length of the pool without getting above water to take a breath. Only time will reveal whether they will become Olympic champions. Meanwhile they should be inspirations to those of us who cannot swim 5 yards without catching their breath.
