Daniel: Hello, is it necessary to do warm-up exercise? I can't wait to dive into the water.

Receptionist: I'm sorry. Every customer coming here must do the warm-up exercise before getting down to swimming. That's out regulation.

Daniel: Yeah, I see. You are just doing your job. But I wanna know what the advantages it has.

Receptionist: OK, lovely boy. Try to be patient. Do you know the danger of swimming without warm-up?

Daniel: As far as I know, people will be weak if they swim too long.

Receptionist: That's right. But the most dangerous thing is that their legs may spasm out of control when swimming.

Daniel: Is it very dangerous? I'm a little scared. Do you offer the lifebuoy for us?

Receptionist: Yes, besides that, we also provide our customers with goggles, swimming suit and something like that.

Daniel: Do you have the workers to save me if anything should happen?

Receptionist: Of course, all the workers here are able to swim, and they will come to your aid quickly. By the way, is that your Mom?

(Shirley comes over here.)

Receptionist: Hello, madam! Please take care of your kid. Don't let him play around the deep-water area.

Shirley: OK, I bear it on my mind. He is just naughty. Thank you! How can I tell the abyssal zone from the shoal waters?

Receptionist: Well, there are signs besides the swimming pool. Our workers will lead you there.

Shirley: That's good. We'll be more careful when we are there.

Receptionist: And this is your swimming caps and the yellow one is for your son. By wearing this, we can identify kids.

Shirley: Wow, Daniel, you'll be looking very good in that cap. Come here to put it on!

丹尼尔: 你好，必须做热身运动吗？我想立马下水。

服务员: 对不起，任何一位到我们这来的顾客在下水游泳之前必须要做热身运动。这是我们的规定。

丹尼尔: 嗯，我知道。你只是在履行你的职责。但是我想知道它的益处。

服务员: 好的，可爱的小家伙。试着有耐心点。你知道不做热身运动就下水的危险性吗？

丹尼尔: 据我所知，如果游泳太久人会很虚弱。

服务员: 这是对的，但是最危险的是游泳时腿会因抽筋失去控制。

丹尼尔: 那很危险吗？我有点怕了，你们提供救生圈吗？

服务员: 是的，除此之外，我们给顾客提供泳镜，泳衣等用品。

丹尼尔: 如果发生什么情况，你们会有工作人员来救我吗？

服务生: 当然，这儿所有的工作人员都会游泳，他们会很快来救你的。顺便问下，那是你妈妈吗？

（雪莉走了过来。）

服务员: 您好，女士！请您照顾好你的小孩。不要让他在深水区域玩耍。

雪莉: 好的，我记住了。他是很淘气。谢谢你！我怎么区分深水区和浅水区呀？

服务员: 嗯，，在游泳池旁边有标志。我们工作人员会带您过去。

雪莉: 好的，到那时我们会更小心的。

服务员: 这是你们的游泳帽，这个黄色的是给您小孩的。这样便于我们区分小孩。

雪莉: 哇，丹尼尔，戴上那个帽子肯定好看。过来把它戴上。
