Every week, Mrs. May took some of the children to the swimming pool. The children were good swimmers, and they liked going with Mrs. May.

每周梅太太都会带几个孩子去游泳池。 孩子们都很会游泳，也喜欢跟着梅太太出门。

The children were taking a swimming test. It's time to begin, said Mrs. May. Who wants to go first? We do, said Nadim. Biff, Chip, Wilma and Nadim jumped into the pool. The water was warm. Off you go, called Mrs. May.

孩子们正在参加游泳测试。 梅太太说：“该开始啦。” “谁想第一个来呀？” 纳迪姆说：“我们来！” 比夫、奇普、威尔玛和纳迪姆跳进了泳池。 水暖暖的。 梅太太喊道：“出发吧！”

They had to swim up and down the pool. They had to swim ten lengths. Wilma was first to swim ten lengths, and Biff and Nadim were next. It was hard for Chip to swim the ten lengths. Come on Chip! called Mrs. May. Don't stop, this is the last length. So Chip went on, and everyone was pleased.

他们得在泳池里来回游。 他们要游满十个来回。 威尔玛第一个游完，比夫和纳丁紧随其后。 游十个来回对奇普来说有点难。 梅太太喊道：“奇普加油！别停下，这是最后一个来回啦。” 于是奇普继续游，大家都很为他开心。

Next, they had to swim to the bottom of the pool. They had to pick up a brick and swim with it to the top. All the children passed the swimming test. Mrs. May was very pleased. Well done, everyone! She said. The children were pleased too.

接下来，他们得游到泳池底部去。 他们要捡起一块砖头，再带着砖头游回水面。 所有孩子都通过了游泳测试。 梅太太特别开心。 “大家都太棒啦！” 她说道。 孩子们也都很高兴。

Biff and Chip told Mom and Dad about the swimming test. We passed! They said. Mom and Dad were very pleased too. Mom and Dad had a surprise for them. Biff and Chip couldn't see what the surprise was. What is it? Asked Biff.

比夫和奇普把游泳测试的事告诉了爸爸妈妈。 他们说：“我们通过啦！” 爸爸妈妈也特别开心。 爸爸妈妈给他们准备了一个惊喜。 比夫和奇普猜不到惊喜是什么。 比夫问：“是什么呀？”
