给海滩留一片乐土

By Jennifer Jordan

If I were 1）Czar of the world， a phrase I seem to use quite often these days， I would create open water lap swim areas at all the beaches of the world， allowing 2）patrons to get away from the sand， kids and cell-phone users， which 3）clutter their otherwise 4）fabulous day at the beach. This would involve building a shark-resistant ，5）jellyfish-6）repelling lap lane of anywhere from a quarter to a mile in length， depending， of course， on the 7）logistics of the beach， and about 20 feet wide. Patrons would enter at either gate， at either end of the lane， and swim in 8）languorous circles with other swimmers， much like at their local public pool， only much， much larger and 9）infinitely more 10）pleasurable. In addition to the fitness factor， these would-be Diana Nyad and Michael Phelps would relieve 11）untold tons of stress， anxiety， and lets just say it， road-rage tendencies， allowing them to return to said sand， kids and cell phones with an entirely 12）new lease on life.

如果我是世界之王——我最近经常用这个词，我会在世界各地的海滩设立开放式有泳道的泳区，让他们远离恼人的沙子、孩子和手机用户，在海滩度过美好的时光。这包括在任意一处开设有鲨鱼、水母网的泳区，长0.25至1英里，当然，这得视海滩的后勤设施而定，宽约20英尺。游客可以从泳区的任意一头进入，悠闲地和其他游客一道戏水，就像在他们当地的公共泳池那样，只是规模大得多，更加惬意。除了健身以外，这些可能成为下一个戴安娜·奈德和迈克尔·菲尔普斯（注：世界著名游泳运动员）的人能够在这里尽情释放压力、焦虑和“路怒”，让他们以一种全新的愉快心情来看待之前提到的海滩上的沙子、孩子和手机用户。
