跳板

The boy dived into the swimming pool from the divingboard.

那个男孩跳一头入游泳池。

The swimmer dived into the swimming pool from the divingboard.

游泳运动员跳入游泳池。

He dived off the springboard and swam down to the shallow end.

他跳跳下, 入水中, 游到浅水池边。

He hurries down the gangplank to hug his waiting wife.

他匆匆忙忙走下跳, 张开臂去拥抱他那等待着的妻子。

Bankrupt and repudiation are the spring-broads from  which much of our civilization vaults and turns its somersets,but the savage stands on the unelastic plank of famine.

20破产和拒付债务都是跳，我们文明中的大部那里纵跃升，翻起跟头的，而困顿的人却站在饥饿这条没有弹性的跳。
