注意这里的 as long as 并非习语意义的“只要”，而是其本义，即表示“与……一样长”。句中的my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming 是修饰 journey 的定语从句，所以撇开它不看，句子的主干部分便是：

The journey is as long as it is beautiful.

句中的 it 指The journey，主句的字面意思是：旅途的长度与旅途很美好的长度是一样的，也就是“旅途一直很美好”。再加上定语从句，结合句意，将 journey 引申指“游泳的经历”，句子意思便是：

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

我女儿凯茜的游泳经历一直都很美好。
