今夏游泳必備時尚泳衣

 

Speedo
泳褲

The word “speedo” now refers to any *brief-style *spandex swimwear for men. But the name comes from the Australian swimsuit maker Speedo.
“speedo”這個詞現(xiàn)在用來指各種簡潔風(fēng)格的男士緊身彈性泳褲。不過，這是以澳大利亞泳裝制造商Speedo的名字來命名的。

Speedos debuted in 1956 at the Melbourne Summer Olympics, where the Speedo-sponsored Australian men’s swim team won eight gold medals. This afforded Speedos worldwide attention.
在1956年墨爾本夏季奧林匹克運動會上，這種男士泳褲首次出現(xiàn)，由Speedo贊助的澳大利亞男子游泳隊摘得了八枚金牌。這使Speedos受到舉世矚目。

Speedos have since become a controversial piece of swimwear. They have become the norm on the beaches of Europe, but American people would rather not have to look at them. According to a survey by travel website Tripadvisor, which questioned 3,800 American respondents, 35 percent said that men in tight-fitting speedos are “a violation of beach etiquette”.
Speedos自此便成為頗受爭議的泳裝。Speedos在歐洲已成為海灘標(biāo)準(zhǔn)著裝，但美國人卻寧愿對此視而不見。據(jù)旅行網(wǎng)站Tripadvisor發(fā)起的一項由3800名美國人參與的問卷調(diào)查顯示，有35%的人表示男士穿緊身泳褲違反了“沙灘禮儀”。
