Lesson 20 0ne man in a
boat
独坐孤舟
Why
is fishing the writer's favorite sport?
Fishing is my favorite sport. I often
fish for hours without catching anything. But this
does not worry
me. Some fishermen are
unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old
boots and rubbish. I am even
less
lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old
boots. After having spent whole mornings on the
river
,
I always go home with
an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my
friends say. 'It's a waste of time.'
But they don't realize one important
thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am
only interested in
sitting in a boat
and doing nothing at all!
参考译文
钓鱼是我特别喜爱的一项运
动。我经常一钓数小时却一无所获,但我从不为此烦恼。有些垂钓者就是不走运,他
们往
往鱼钓不到,却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾。我的运气甚至还不及他们。我什么东西也未钓到过
--
就连旧靴子也没
有。我总是
在河上呆上整整一上午,然后空着袋子回家。
“
你可别再钓鱼了
!
”
我的朋友们说,
“
这是浪费时间。
”
然而
他们没
有认识到重要的一点,我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣,我感兴趣的只是独坐孤舟,无所事事!
