🕖用新聞學英文｜雙語教學花路米：Coldest Swim on Earth' to Be Completed in Greenland「全球最冷泳程」將於格陵蘭完成

👉Article
Do you avoid the beach when the water gets cold? Lewis Pugh doesn't. This British-South African swimmer has swum in the Antarctic — and now he's going to Greenland to complete "the coldest swim on Earth."
Starting on August 25, Pugh, 51, plans to swim 10 to 15 kilometers across the Ilulissat Icefjord on the west coast of Greenland.
The route will not just be a straight line — Pugh will need to avoid large pieces of ice in the water. The swim is expected to take him two weeks, and he says it will be the first multi-day swim in the Earth's polar regions.
"This swim will be the most challenging of my career," said Pugh, who spent 10 days training in Iceland before going to Greenland.
Pugh does long-distance swims to raise awareness of climate change and other environmental problems. In January 2020, he became the first person to swim under the Antarctic ice sheet.
"Ice keeps our planet cool enough for us to live," Pugh said, adding that the world's melting ice is a danger to us all. "No ice, no life."
He will be attending the 26th UN Climate Change Conference, which will be in Glasgow, Scotland, from October 31 to November 12. There he plans to ask world leaders to immediately take action on climate change.
Pugh wants 30% of the world's oceans to be protected by 2030 to help stop climate change.

👉Summary
51歲的Pugh計畫游10至15公里橫跨格陵蘭西岸的伊盧利薩特冰峽灣。這條路線並不是直線——Pugh需避開水中的大型冰塊。這趟泳程預期將花他兩週的時間，他表示這將會是第一次在地球上的極區進行的多日泳程，會是他職涯中最大的挑戰。Pugh希望藉由這趟泳程，來提升大眾對氣候變遷和其他環境問題的意識。他也將參加第26屆聯合國氣候變化大會，並計畫在那裡要求世界領導人立即針對氣候變遷採取行動。
