Lesson 20 One man in a boat 獨(dú)坐孤舟 Why is fishing the writers favourite sport? Fishing?is my?favourite?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. 'Its 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! 釣魚是我特別喜愛的一項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。我經(jīng)常一釣數(shù)小時(shí)卻一無所獲，但我從不為此煩惱。有些垂釣者就是不走運(yùn)，他們往往魚釣不到，卻釣上來些舊靴子和垃圾。我的運(yùn)氣甚至還不及他們。我什么東西也未釣到過 -- 就連舊靴子也沒有。我總是在河上呆上整整一上午，然后空著袋子回家?！澳憧蓜e再釣魚了！”我的朋友們說，“這是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間?！比欢麄儧]有認(rèn)識到重要的一點(diǎn)，我并不是真的對釣魚有興趣，我感興趣的只是獨(dú)坐孤舟，無所事事！ catch v. 抓到 fisherman n. 釣魚人，漁民 boot n. 靴子 waste n. 浪費(fèi) realize v. 意識到
