文字稿

Day four of the Rio Olympics left many wondering why Michael Phelps had ever retired. The most successful Olympian of all time has now won 21 golds in four separate games. His latest came in the 200 metres butterfly and freestyle relay.

看完里約奧運會第四天的賽事后，很多人都想知道邁克爾·菲爾普斯為什么曾一度退役。到目前為止，這位史上最成功的奧林匹克運動員在四屆奧運會中共獲得了21枚金牌。被他最新收入囊中的金牌來自本屆奧運會的200米蝶泳和自由泳接力比賽。

Now, they’re the UK’s highest mountains but they are under water. Scientists have returned from an expedition exploring the peaks off the west coast of Scotland. The mission: to log the marine life around them. And I think they’ve discovered many new species.

目前，它們是英國的最高山脈，不過卻位于水下。科學家們在對蘇格蘭西海岸中的山峰進行了考察探索后歸來。此次探索的任務是記錄山峰周圍的海洋生物。我覺得他們已經發現了很多新物種。
