But you’re still smacking your foot directly on the ground, without any padding. Wouldn’t this lead to more foot injuries? Possibly. And, of course, it takes time to develop calluses on your feet thick enough to make barefoot running comfortable. And I suppose running in cold weather could be a problem. So like most things in science, there’s more than one side to this story. Running barefoot may have certain advantages, but there are some pitfalls, too.

【生詞注釋】
smack v.啪的一聲甩(或扔等)
padding n.襯墊
callus n.老繭，皮膚硬厚處
pitfall n.隱患，易犯的錯誤

【參考譯文】
但是光腳跑步你仍然是將腳直接猛烈地接觸地面，中間沒有任何襯墊。這會不會導致腳受傷？當然很有可能，而且要花上一段時間腳才能生出足夠厚的老繭讓你舒服地跑步。我猜在寒冷的天氣中跑步也是個難題。像大多數科學中的事情一樣，這個說法不只有一面。光腳跑步有一定的優勢，但是也有些隱患。
