And, of course, it takestime to develop calluses on your feet thick enoughto make barefoot running comfortable. And Isuppose running in cold weather could be a problem.So like most things in science, there’s more than oneside to this story. Running barefoot may havecertain advantages, but there are some pitfalls,too.

【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(dǎo)致腳受傷?當(dāng)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(shù)科學(xué)中的事情一樣，這個說法不只有一面。光腳跑步有一定的優(yōu)勢，但是也有些隱患。
