Today we're having a super sunny and summery video because I'm taking you to the beach with me, where we will learn about some beach activities, beach vocabulary, and phrases that will be relevant to the general public.

今天這是一部超級陽光明媚的夏日影片，因為我要帶你去海灘，在那裡我們將學習一些與公眾相關的海灘活動、海灘詞彙和短語。

Ready?

準備好了嗎？

Let's go then!

那我們走吧！

So, as you can see, we pack heavy for the beach and let me show you what we bring with us.

所以，正如你所看到的，我們為去海灘準備了很多東西，讓我向你展示我們帶了什麼。

So, this beach tent is our recent find and it's just perfect for us.

這個沙灘帳篷是我們最近才找到的，非常適合我們。

But instead of a beach tent, you could bring a beach umbrella with you.

不過，除了帶沙灘帳篷，你也可以帶一把沙灘傘。

And it's a must if you're planning to spend a whole day at the beach because you'll definitely need some shade.

如果你打算在海灘上待上一整天，這也是必須的，因為你肯定需要一些遮陽物。

You also do not want to forget to pack your sunscreen or sunblock.

也不要忘記帶上防曬霜。

Getting a sunburn is not fun at all, so we better avoid this.

曬傷一點都不好玩，所以我們最好避免曬傷。

Then, here in the United States, you won't see people at the beach without coolers.

在美國，你在海灘上看到的人一定會帶冷藏箱。

And not just at the beach, but also in the parks or at festivals.

不僅在海灘，在公園或節日裡也是如此。

So, we also got one, and we have zero regrets.

我們也買了一個，而且我們一點也不後悔。

Now we can enjoy cold drinks in the hot weather wherever we go.

現在無論我們到哪裡，都能在炎熱的天氣裡享用冷飲了。

Then, of course, you'd bring a beach towel with you, beach chairs or beach lounge chairs.

當然，你還會帶上沙灘巾、沙灘椅或沙灘躺椅，

Or just like us, just some lawn chairs.

或者像我們一樣，帶一些草坪椅。

However, we do have these beach loungers, which are awesome, by the way.

不過，我們確實有這些沙灘躺椅，順便說一句，它們非常棒。

They are light, foldable, and portable.

它們輕巧、可摺疊、便於攜帶。

Now, as for the swimwear, men usually wear swimming trunks to the beach.

至於泳裝，男士通常穿泳褲去海灘，

And women usually wear either a one-piece swimsuit or a bikini, which consists of two parts, a top and a bottom.

女士通常穿連體泳衣或比基尼，比基尼由上下兩部分組成。

Typical beach shoes would be flip-flops.

典型的沙灘鞋是人字拖。

These are a type of a light sandal that are held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap known as a toe thong.

這是一種輕便涼鞋，通過一條 Y 形帶鬆鬆地固定在腳上，這種帶子被稱為腳趾丁字褲。

We prefer slides, though.

不過，我們更喜歡拖鞋。

So much more comfortable.

舒服多了。

And, of course, we take a bunch of stuff for our son, like a floaty.

當然，我們還為兒子帶了很多東西，比如泳圈。

Or, yeah, I also have a floaty, but it's awesome, though.

或者，是的，我也有一個泳圈，但它很棒。

You'll see.

你們會明白的。

We take some toys and buckets and shovels to build sandcastles.

我們帶著一些玩具、水桶和鏟子去堆沙堡。

And speaking of sandcastles, let's talk about activities people like to do at the beach, and building a sandcastle is one of them.

說到沙堡，讓我們來談談人們喜歡在海灘上做的活動，堆沙堡就是其中之一。

It is really so much fun, that is, unless you have a little monster who likes to destroy them.

這真的很有趣，除非你有一個喜歡破壞它們的小怪物。

Some people come to the beach only to soak up the sun, that refers to relaxing or sunbathing.

有些人來海灘只是為了曬太陽，即放鬆或日光浴。

There's actually multiple ways you can describe this activity.

實際上，你可以用多種方式來描述這項活動。

So, you can say, soak up the sun, sunbathe, lay out in the sun, catch some rays, get some sun, or get a tan, or even bask in the sunlight.

你可以說，沐浴陽光、日光浴、躺在陽光下、捕捉陽光、曬太陽、曬黑，甚至沐浴陽光。

And if someone asks, you could simply say, "I was tanning today," or "I like to tan."

如果有人問起，你可以簡單地說：「我今天去做日光浴了」或者「我喜歡曬太陽」。

As you can see, there are lots of options you can choose from.

正如你所看到的，你有很多說法。

Some people come to the beach mostly to enjoy the water.

有些人來海灘主要是為了享受海水。

So, obviously, you can swim in the water.

所以，很明顯，你可以在水裡游泳。

I am not a great swimmer.

我不是游泳健將。

Some people enjoy diving.

有些人喜歡潛水。

It's when you submerge yourself underwater using scuba gear, which is also called scuba diving.

這是指使用水肺裝備將自己潛入水下，也稱為水肺潛水。

Or, you can just put on goggles and dive to explore underwater.

或者，你也可以戴上護目鏡，潛入水下探險。

And when you use a diving mask and a breathing tube to dive with, it's called snorkeling.

而當你使用潛水面罩和呼吸管潛水時，就叫做浮潛。

Or, if you can't swim at all, you could use one of these.

或者，如果你根本不會游泳，也可以使用其中的一種。

These are floats, or as kids called them, floaties.

這些是泳圈，孩子們叫它們 floaties。

The names can be more specific, like pool tube or tube float.

名稱可以更具體，如泳池管或管狀浮球。

And this one can be a lounge float, or a pool chair lounge float, or just a pool float.

這個泳圈可以是休閒泳圈，也可以是泳池椅休閒泳圈，或者只是一個泳池泳圈。

This was the best thing I've ever bought with five bucks.

這是我用五塊錢買過的最好的東西。

If you're, God forbid, drowning, a lifeguard or just some people would use one of these to save you.

如果你不幸溺水，救生員或其他人會用這個來救你。

This is a life preserver, life ring, life belt, life saver, or life buoy.

可以叫它 life preserver、life ring、life belt、life saver 或是 life buoy。

So, if someone is ever in a dangerous situation in the water, and they ask you to throw them one of these, you'll know what to look for.

如果有人在水中遇到危險，要求你扔給他一個這個，你就知道該怎麼做了。

A lifeguard tower is like a super tall seat with the best ocean view ever.

救生塔是一個超高的座位，擁有最美的海景。

It's like a lifeguard's cozy nest at the beach where they can watch over everyone splashing around in the water.

像是救生員在海灘上的舒適巢穴，他們可以在這裡看著大家在水裡嬉戲。

Imagine you're at the beach trying to impress your friends with your awesome swimming skills, but suddenly, you start doing the "I'm wobbly jellyfish dance".

想象一下，你在海灘上試圖用你超棒的游泳技能給朋友們留下深刻印象，但突然你開始跳起了「我是搖搖晃晃的水母舞」。

That's when the lifeguard in the tower jumps into action, blows their whistle and saves you from turning into seaweed salad.

這時候，塔裡的救生員就會行動起來，吹響哨子，把你從變成海藻沙拉的命運中解救出來。

So, if you're at the beach and see someone up in the lifeguard tower, remember they're like the beach bosses, making sure nobody turns into a soggy sandwich.

所以，如果你在海灘上看到救生塔上有人，請記住他們就像海灘上的老大，確保沒有人變成溼漉漉的三明治。

Right now we're at Lake Michigan, which looks like a sea to be honest.

現在我們在密歇根湖，說實話，它看起來就像一片大海。

Very often there are high waves at the lake caused by strong winds.

強風經常會在湖面掀起巨浪。

You can refer to them as choppy waves or simply, choppy water.

你可以將它們稱為波濤洶湧的波浪或簡稱為波濤洶湧的水。

This term describes the rough and turbulent water surface caused by strong winds or other factors that create waves of significant height on a lake.

這一術語描述的是由於強風或其他因素在湖面上形成高度可觀的波浪而造成的洶湧湍急的水面。

The rocks that you see on the beach or at the shoreline are called pebbles.

你在海灘或海岸線上看到的石頭叫做鵝卵石。

Another very popular activity is beach combing.

另一項非常受歡迎的活動是海灘漫步。

This means to wander along the beach, typically near the shoreline, in search of interesting and valuable items that have washed ashore.

這意味著沿著海灘漫步，通常是在海岸線附近，尋找被衝上岸的有趣和有價值的物品。

People often look for seashells, driftwood, sea glass, marine debris, and other treasures.

人們經常在這裡尋找貝殼、漂流木、海玻璃、海洋廢棄物和其他珍寶。

We also enjoy throwing a frisbee at the beach or playing frisbee.

我們還喜歡在海灘上扔飛盤或玩飛盤遊戲。

That's another popular beach activity.

這是另一項受歡迎的海灘活動。

But there are so many other games people play at the beach like beach volleyball or tossing bags or beach soccer and I feel like there are countless beach ball games.

但是，人們在沙灘上還有很多其他的遊戲，比如沙灘排球、扔袋子或沙灘足球，我覺得沙灘球類遊戲數不勝數。

There's also a lot of water sports and activities like jet boating, jet skiing, yachting, kayaking, and so on and so forth.

這裡還有很多水上運動和活動，如摩托艇、水上摩托車、遊艇、皮划艇等等。

You might be familiar with the word shore and you must have heard the word coast.

你可能熟悉 shore 這個詞，也一定聽說過 coast 這個詞。

But what's the difference between them or are they interchangeable?

但它們之間有什麼區別，是否可以互換？

The short answer would be no.

簡短的回答是否定的。

The word shore is a more specific term describing the immediate boundary between land and water and can include various features like sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, or marshy areas.

Shore 是一個更具體的術語，描述陸地和水域之間的直接邊界，可包括沙灘、岩石懸崖或沼澤地等各種地貌。

The word coast, on the other hand, refers to the broader area that includes the shoreline and its adjacent regions.

另一方面，coast 一詞指的是包括海岸線及其鄰近地區在內的更廣闊區域。

You can see the picture on the screen.

你可以在螢幕上看到圖片。

So what are your favorite beach activities?

你最喜歡哪些海灘活動？

Are you more of a sunbathing, relaxing person or do you prefer to spend your time at the beach being active?

你更喜歡享受日光浴、放鬆身心，還是更喜歡在海灘上活動？

And by the way, I didn't mention the words like sunglasses or a hat so as not to oversimplify the video.

順便說一句，我沒有提到太陽鏡或帽子之類的字眼，以免讓影片內容過於簡單。

Well, that would be it for this video.

好了，本影片到此結束。

Thank you so much, guys, for watching it and thank you for going to the beach with me.

非常感謝你們收看，感謝你們和我一起去海灘。

I really hope you enjoyed it and as usual, I'll see you in the next one.

我真心希望你們喜歡這部影片，我們下期再見。再見。
