An outdoor public place for swimming and lying in the sun — an open-air pool, or a stretch of beach or lake set up for bathers, often with decks and changing rooms. The word is especially British, and it feels a bit holiday and a bit old-fashioned, like a poster from the 1930s. Though actually, calling it a lido was a bit of showing off: the name was borrowed from the Lido in Venice, a famous beach island, so an ordinary town pool could sound glamorous. Americans almost never use it; they just say outdoor pool or beach.
露天游泳池;海濱浴場
組成Named after Lido di Venezia, the beach island in Venice and the site of Europe’s first modern beach resort (1857). From Italian lido (“beach, shore”), from Latin litus (“shore”).
