平衡练习2:铅笔漂浮
请你们注意啦。
May I have your attention? Good.
这次我想让你们做所谓的铅笔漂浮练习。
This time I want you to do
what we call a pencil float.
我想让你们把手臂放在这里,
I want you to put your arms right here,
放在你们的口袋里,就在这里。
inside your pockets, right there.
我们管这叫“把两手放在马鞍上”。
We call it arms in the saddles.
臂在体前,两腿并拢,
Right in front. Legs together.
脚尖绷直,深吸一口气。
Toes pointed. Get a deep breath.
让我们看一看,
And Let us see
你们能否在水里笔直的立着,能否与水面垂直。
how vertical, how straight up and down,
you can be in the water.
明白了吗?预备,开始。
OK? Ready, go.
不错。下巴回收,收到体线内,
Good, now bring your chin back in line,
这样就能立得笔直了。
so that you are straight up and down.
好了,放松,放松。
Good. All right, relax, relax.
注意,如果你像这样,
让头稍微向前倾斜一点的话,
Now, if you tilt it forward a little bit like this,
头就可能在体线之外了。
properly your head is out of line forward.
你要在水中做出放松立正的姿势。
You want to be like you are relaxed
attention in the water.
下巴内收,脖子伸长,
Chin in, long neck
让头自然地位于脖颈的顶端。
and just let your head flow
on the end of your neck.
这样你就像一只漂浮的铅笔了。
And you are right here in a pencil float.
需要换气时可以换气,
Now when you need a breath,
但吸气后要闭气,
you take a breath in but hold the air in,
