实用旅游英语：四种泳姿的英语说法

　　Breaststroke蛙泳

　　Breaststroke is the slowest of the four official styles in competitive swimming, but it is commonly agreed that it is by far the most difficult to do correctly. The history of breaststroke goes back to the Stone Age. The leg action of the breaststroke may have originated by imitating the swimming action of frogs. 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　蛙泳是竞技游泳的四种标准泳姿中最慢的一种，但它却是公认最难做得尺度的一种。实用旅游英语讲解：蛙泳的起源可能追溯到石器时代。蛙泳中腿部蹬水的动作很可能是模仿青蛙的泳姿而来。

　　Freestyle自由泳

　　Freestyle is an unregulated swimming style used in swimming competitions according to the rules of FINA. Competitors in freestyle swimming can use any of the unregulated strokes such as front crawl, dog paddle, or sidestroke, etc. Most competitive swimmers choose the front crawl during freestyle competitions, as this style provides the greatest speed. As such the term freestyle is often used as a synonym for the front crawl. 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　根据国际泳联的规定，“自由泳”切实是各种非标准泳姿的统称，包括爬泳、狗刨、侧泳等等。然而在自在泳比赛中多数选手会决定爬泳，因为这种泳姿速度相对较快。因此人们常说的实用旅游英语“自由泳”基本就成了“自由式泳法”的同义词。

　　Backstroke仰泳

　　The backstroke has the advantage of easy breathing, but the disadvantage of swimmers not being able to see where they are going. It is also the only competition swimming style that starts in the water. Backstroke is an ancient style of swimming. The first Olympic backstroke competition was the 1900 Paris Olympics men's 200 metre.

　　实用旅游英语讲解：仰泳的优势在于便于呼吸，弊病则是游泳者不能看到前方的情况。仰泳也是多少种竞技泳姿中唯一一种从水中出发的(其余多少种泳姿是从跳台上动身)。仰泳是一种古老的泳姿。奥运史上第一次仰泳竞赛是1900年的巴黎奥运会男子200米仰泳。
