BBC Learning English - A Spa Treat 美体水疗

　　Olivia: Yes, absolutely!

　　Jean: Olivia 带着 Andrea 参观了他们著名的秋千池。在这里有一个大泳池，泳池的水面正中悬挂着一只秋千。

　　Andrea: This pool is not for exercising but it’s a place to relax. There are beds around the edge of it so that women can lounge around.

　　Jean: To lounge around – 随便的靠着躺着。而这支秋千就是他们一个著名的标志。A landmark.

　　Andrea: The swing was in a film many years ago.

　　Jean: 而现在来 spa 的女士们可以坐在上面荡漾在水面或者悠起来玩跳水。 What fun!

　　Andrea: Jean, you said you like spas, but have you ever been to a spa?

　　Jean: Yes I have Andrea, to this one very one in fact.

　　Andrea: Interestingly, spas in Britain used to be places where only women would go. But these days, more and more men also visit spas to relax.

　　Men are becoming a lot more aware. I was actually speaking to somebody yesterday evening from a spa that is actually around the corner from us and they actually have men – and 46% of their guests are men. So that’s massive – that’s totally different to what it was like, say 10 years ago.

　　Jean: 听 Olivia 说，其实现在在英国不止是女士们喜欢泡 spa, 很多男士也开始重视spa 为身心带来的不少好处。在他们伦敦的另一家 spa 里， 46% 的顾客都是男性。
