跳板

The boy dived into the swimming pool from the divingboard.

个男孩上一头潜入游泳池。

The swimmer dived into the swimming pool from the divingboard.

游泳运动员上潜入游泳池。

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

他下, 潜入水中, 游到浅水池边。

He hurries down the gangplank to hug his waiting wife.

他匆匆忙忙走下, 张开臂去拥抱他等待着的妻子。

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，我们文明中的大部分就纵跃上升，翻起跟头的，而困顿的人却站在饥饿这条没有弹性的上。
