一、Chinese star, 16, breaks 400m IM world record

Ye, 16, set a new world best of four minutes 28.43 seconds, ahead of American world champion Elizabeth Beisel and fellow Chinese Li Xuanxu.

The 16-year-old overwhelmed American world champion Elizabeth Beisel to win the final in four minutes 28.43 seconds to cap a glittering night for China in the pool following Sun Yang\'s breakthrough victory in the men\'s 400m freestyle.

Ye put in a storming final freestyle leg to shatter the previous record of 4:29.45, set by Australian Stephanie Rice en route to gold at the Beijing Games four years ago.

So supercharged was Ye\'s finish that she stormed under the world record on the back of a 28.93sec final lap to leave her rivals in her wake.

"I thought at the 200 metres that the race was lost," Ye said. "But then on the breaststroke I realised I was in the top two or three and I was confident I could win on the last leg.

"I\'ve been working on my butterfly and backstroke since last year\'s world championships and have closed the gap, while freestyle is my best stroke. I dreamed of winning the gold medal, but I never ever expected to break a world record, I\'m overwhelmed."

譯文：

倫敦奧運首日中國16歲小將葉詩文在女子400米個人混合泳決賽中獲得金牌，并破世界紀錄。

比賽開始時，葉詩文在100米蝶泳結束后仍排在第五位。但她保持節奏，加快了前進速度，在250米結束后上升到第三位。300米結束后，葉詩文以自由泳不斷加速，在350米左右開始領先。最后50米她率先轉身，和第二名拉開一個身位的距離。觀看這場比賽的世界泳壇宿將索普對BBC評論說，他看到葉詩文最后的自由泳沖刺時，就感到她可能將打破世界紀錄。最終葉詩文以4分28秒43創造了新的世界紀錄，拿下中國隊倫敦奧運會上第四枚金牌。在這個項目中，美國選手貝塞爾4分31秒27獲得了銀牌，另一位中國選手李玄旭以4分32秒91獲得了銅牌。

二、How clean is the average backyard pool is? Find out on this Moment of Science.

Everybody loves the swimming pool. But how clean is the water in the average backyard or public pool? If you trust (1)chlorine to take care of germs, you’re in for a surprise.

Chlorine and other (2)disinfectants do indeed help to clean the water, but some germs can survive in even the best-kept pool. For example, (3)cryptosporidium may live in pool water for several days. Crypto causes a (4)diarrheal illness and may (5)rinse off the bodies of infected people or (6)diapered children into the pool. If you swallow infected pool water, you may become sick.

Other germs may live for a few minutes or a few hours in a chlorinated pool: Giardia(鞭毛蟲), Shigella(志賀氏菌), and E. Coli(大腸桿菌) may cause diarrheal illnesses. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa(綠膿桿菌) may cause an ear infection called swimmer’s ear and also a skin infection called “hot tub rash(熱浴池皮疹),” that is usually associated with very warm pools and spas.

While keeping the correct chlorine and ph levels will minimize (7)water-borne illness, prevention is also a good idea. Keep diapered children in the water for only brief periods and keep sick people out of the water altogether. And, don’t ever swallow pool water.

譯文：

和細菌游泳

每個人都喜歡游泳池。但是在一般的后院和游泳池的水有多清潔呢?如果你相信氯可以制服細菌，那么接下來的就會讓你驚奇。

氯和其它的消毒劑的確有助于清潔水，但是一些細菌在保護很好的水池里仍然可以存活。列如：隱孢子蟲可能在池水中生活很多天。隱孢子蟲能引起腹瀉，并且會從進入泳池的被感染病人或者帶尿布孩子的身上被沖刷下來。如果你吞下被感染的池水，也會生病。

其它的細菌可能在氯化池里生存幾分鐘或者幾個小時：鞭毛蟲，志賀氏菌，和大腸桿菌可能引起腹瀉。綠膿桿菌可能引起游泳性耳炎的耳朵感染以及熱浴池皮疹的皮膚感染。熱浴池皮疹通常與非常溫暖的水池和溫泉有關。

盡管保持正確的氯和pH值能夠減少通過水傳播的疾病，可是預防也是一個好主意。保持仍帶尿布的孩子在水中只停留短暫的時間，使病人遠離水。并且永遠不要吞下池水。
