雅思阅读丨奥运泳池变绿了？！各国段子手开始发威

面对绿油油的泳池水，不知道里约奥运会负责人的脸有没有变绿?长沙新航道小编真的好为奥运健儿的身体健康担忧啊啊啊!

今天的雅思阅读，我们就看看各国人民的吐槽吧。

There were farcical scenes at the Olympic synchronized diving final tonight after the pool turned a murky shade of green.

The five-metre deep diving pool - which was a normal blue colour during the men's event last night - appeared to slowly turn greener as the competition went on.

British Bronze medal winner Tom Daley noticed the change, tweeting: 'Ermm... what happened?!'

Rio officials at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Center have so far been unable to provide an explanation.

Left, how the water appeared on Tuesday morning, and right, how it looked on Tuesday afternoon.

Need goggles? It was almost impossible to spot the divers as they swam back to the surface of the murky water after diving in.

There's much speculation as to what's going on but so far, no definitive answer.

Several people have speculated that the change is due to algae in the water, perhaps because the pool is lacking in chlorine.

Other theories suggest because pool is outdoors, it can accelerate algae growth if the water is exposed to the sun.

在水池变成墨绿色之后，奥运双人跳水决赛上出现了滑稽的画面。

昨晚进行男子跳水项目的时候，这5米深的跳水池还是正常的蓝色，然而，随着比赛的进行，池水似乎逐渐变绿了。

获得铜牌的英国选手汤姆·戴利注意到了这种变化，于是发推文，写道：“额……，发生了什么?!”

到目前为止，里约奥运会玛利亚·伦克水上运动中心的官员们还无法给出一个(合理的)解释。

左边是星期二早上池水的颜色;右边是星期二下午池水的颜色。

需要护目镜?选手跳入水中之后，在他们游向浑浊的水面的时候，几乎都要找不到他们了。

关于这(池碧水)到底是怎么一回事，大家已作出众多猜测。然而，到目前为止，还没有定论。

一些人推断，这种变化是由于水中的藻类，也许是因为池水中缺氯。

其他人指出，因为水池在户外，如果池水暴晒于阳光下，则会加速藻类生长。

 网友吐槽：

这让我想起……晚餐上的豌豆薄荷汤。

奥运跳水池呈现绿色是因为化学品和防晒霜发生了化学反应。

人们跳进那样的碧池里，出来的时候还是满头秀发，也没有长出第三只眼，对此我有点惊讶。

2016年里约奥运会上从水池里出来的双人跳水选手…

就等着史莱克从里约跳水池里出来啦!
