 A 10-year-old named Clark Kent beat a record that Michael Phelps held for 23 years 10岁的克拉克·肯特打破了菲尔普斯保持了23年的记录 It's not very often that Michael Phelps gets knocked off the record board. But a 10-year-old swimming phenom with a superhero name has done just that. 菲尔普斯的纪录可不是轻易就可以被超越的。但是一个具有超人名字的10岁游泳奇才做到的正是这个。 His name is Clark Kent Apuada. And of course, they call him "Superman." 他的名字叫Clark Kent Apuada。当然，大家叫他“超人”。 Over the weekend, Clark, who swims for the Monterey County Aquatic Team, competed at the Far West International Championship in California, where he won the 100-meter butterfly in 1:09:38. 上周末，Clark代表蒙特雷县游泳队参加在加利福尼亚举行的西部国际锦标赛，他以1:09:38赢得了100米蝶泳第一名。 That's more than a second better than the 100-meter butterfly record that Phelps set at the championship in 1995. 这比菲尔普斯在1995年在这个运动会的100米蝶泳纪录要快了一秒还多。 It had gone unbroken, while Phelps went on to win 28 Olympic medals. 这个记录一直没被打破，而在这期间菲尔普斯赢得了28枚奥运奖牌。 Even more impressive, Clark has only been swimming competitively for four years. 更令人不可思议的是，Clark只有四年游泳竞赛的经历。 "This kid is unlike any other young man that I've ever coached," Clark's coach Dia Riana told CNN. "He's always stood out, he's just, he's kind of a savant of sorts." “这个孩子和我教过的所有孩子都不一样，”Clark的教练Dia Riana告诉CNN。他总是那么突出，他简直就是一个，一个游泳奇才。” savant [sæˈvɑ:nt] n.博学之士，学者，专家 Clark's supernatural abilities aren't confined to the pool. Clark的超自然能力并不局限于游泳池。 "He does piano lessons, he does martial arts, and at school if there's a computer class, coding, or STEM programs he's always joining," his father, Chris Apuada, said. 他的父亲Chris Apuada说：“他上钢琴课、他学武术，学校里只要有电脑课、编程的课，或STEM的课，他总是不会落课。” Clark said the load doesn't get too heavy. Clark说课业没有那么繁重。 "I deal with it really well, I just have to balance," he told CNN. “我能处理得很好，只要兼顾好就行，”他告诉CNN。 "I love swimming because I have a lot of people supporting me and my coaches are always there for me and my parents are always there," Clark said. “我喜欢游泳，因为有很多人支持我，我的教练、我的父母总是在我身边鼓励我，”Clark说。 To others trying to discover their own powers, Clark said he believes it's a matter of determination. 对于其他试图在自己身上寻找力量的人，Clark说他相信只要有决心，就可以做到。 "Dream big," he said, "and always focus on your dreams and have fun." “要有远大梦想，”他说，“永远要专注于自己的梦想，并享受快乐。” 👇 |
