介绍:
Today，we will continue our topic about swimming！
今天，我们将继续游泳这个话题！
But now, let’s go back to the diving that relates to swimming.
现在，让我们回到与游泳相关的潜水。
我们知道，Dive是潜水、跳水的意思，off这个介词，变成dive off sp 可以表示从某个地方跳下来。
有一种极限跳水活动，叫做cliff diving（悬崖潜水），而这样做的潜水员，叫做cliff diver潜水员。
另外一种潜水活动，叫做scuba diving，需要借助氧气瓶的水肺潜水。
跳水，有时候需要借助diving boards（跳水板），跳水板有另外一个专门表示的英文单词，叫做springboard（跳板）。而springboard除了能表示跳板，还有“起点”的意思。比如有个人说：
This job was only a springboard to a better position.
那么，这个人现有的工作，只是为了找到更好工作的跳板。
借助水肺，我们可以进行deep diving（深潜），潜水到达比较深的地方。此外，如果deep dive不是用在水里，那么还可以用于表示“深入探究或者深入钻研”。比如，
