Day four of the Rio Olympics left many wondering why Michael Phelps had ever retired. The most successful Olympian of all time has now won 21 golds in four separate games. His latest came in the 200 metres butterfly and freestyle relay.

看完里约奥运会第四天的赛事后，很多人都想知道迈克尔·菲尔普斯为什么曾一度退役。到目前为止，这位史上最成功的奥林匹克运动员在四届奥运会中共获得了21枚金牌。被他最新收入囊中的金牌来自本届奥运会的200米蝶泳和自由泳接力比赛。

Now, they’re the UK’s highest mountains but they are under water. Scientists have returned from an expedition exploring the peaks off the west coast of Scotland. The mission: to log the marine life around them. And I think they’ve discovered many new species.
