Serious Swimming | 严肃的游泳

English Original

Three women — a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde — entered a unique competition: swimming from Santa Monica to Catalina using only the breaststroke.

After approximately 14 hours, the brunette staggered ashore and was declared the winner.

About 40 minutes later, the redhead crawled onto the shore, securing second place.

Nearly four hours after that, the blonde finally arrived, collapsing in front of the worried onlookers. When reporters asked why her swim took so long, she replied:

"I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but I think those two other girls were using their arms."


中文翻译

三位女性——一位棕发、一位红发、一位金发——参加了一场独特的比赛:仅用蛙泳从圣莫尼卡游到卡塔利娜岛。

大约14小时后,棕发女子摇摇晃晃地上岸,被宣布为获胜者。

大约40分钟后,红发女子爬上岸,获得了第二名。

又过了将近四个小时,金发女子终于抵达,在忧心忡忡的围观者面前瘫倒在地。当记者问她为何耗时如此之久时,她回答道:

“我不想听起来像个输不起的人,但我认为另外两个女孩用了手臂。”
