Intro (00:26~01:04)
Hello, everybody! I'm Selina. So I know it’s not the bikini season, but lately, the freezing temperature has been making me dream about summer. Anyway, don’t you think this video is a bit outrageous? I couldn’t believe that swimming suits, as popular as they are today, were once considered to be illegal. This video talks in detail about the history of bikinis. Be sure to check out the video and find out how it became so iconic. But first, let’s look at some strict measures the authority took to regulate bikinis. Here’s our sentence of the day:

Sentence (01:04~01:37)
A lot of places had strict laws about minimum swimsuit length. Police would even walk around with rulers and straight-up measure your bathing suit.
許多地區都針對泳衣的長度加以最短限制。警察甚至會攜帶量尺，直接對你的泳衣進行測量。

Outro 03:58
That’s the end of today’s episode. Looking back on this regulation, it’s obvious we take a lot of things for granted. Nowadays, we can wear whatever we want, discover our own style without much difficulty. And that is a beautiful thing. Clothing can be seen as a form of expression and putting strict rules on it is just unnecessary. So this summer, ladies and maybe gentlemen, be sure to wear that bikini and enjoy your time in the water. I know summer is still five months away, but hey, we can plan ahead, right? I’d like to know your thoughts on this video. So be sure to leave your comments and recordings below. I’ll see you next week. Bye-bye, everybody.

☺A lot of places had strict laws about minimum swimsuit length. Police would even walk around with rulers and straight-up measure your bathing suit.

【心得】I've never worn a bikini before. (男生的泳褲應該就沒底線，除非不穿才違法吧?!)
