Good morning. I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the city:
上午好，我很榮幸能有這個機會向大家介紹市里新開發的兩項令人興奮的設施，
the Brackenside Open-Air Swimming Pool and the children's Adventure Playground in Central Park.
它們分別是Brackenside露天游泳池和位于中央公園的兒童游樂園。
As many of you may know, the idea for these initiatives came from you the public, in the extensive consultation exercise which the City Council conducted last year.
你們中很多人也許都知道，這些想法來源于你們大家，市政府在去年進行的廣泛咨詢活動中采納了很多你們的建議。
And they have been realised using money from the SWRDC- the South West Regional Development Commission.
這些設施是用西南地區發展委員會（SWRDC）的資金建成的。
First of all, Brackenside Pool. As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to bea wonderful open-air pool on the sea front 30 years ago,
首先我要向大家介紹一下Brackenside游泳池。在場的各位中很多年紀稍長的朋友們可能還記得，三十年前在海邊曾經有一個極好的露天泳池，
but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe.
但是在被認定為有安全隱患之后就被關掉了。
For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally renownedarchitect Ellen Wendon,
關于這個新的恒溫泳池，我們有幸請到了世界著名建筑師Ellen Wendon來擔當設計，
who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area,
他成功地將充滿魅力的上世紀三十年代的設計風格——這種風格與本地區其他的很多建筑風格十分契合，
with up-to-the-minute features such as recycling system— the only one of its kind in the world — which enables seawater to be used in the pool.
和最新的一些性能結合起來，比如能把海水用在泳池中的循環系統——這項技術在世界上獨一無二。
