第 93 课: In a Boat 在船上

My family likes the sea very much. When we have a holiday, we go to a place at
the seaside and borrow a boat from one of our friends. 我们一家都很喜欢大海。度假时,我们去海边的一个地方,向我们的朋友借一艘船。

Then we row, sail and fish on the sea all day. Sometimes we have races against other boats. 然后我们整天都在海上划船、航行还有钓鱼。有时我们和其他的船比赛。

When the sea is rough, we row and sail on a small lake near the sea instead. 海上有风浪时,我们就在大海附近的小湖里划船。

We are very careful on this lake because there are a lot of sharp rocks and the water is shallow. We do not want to damage our friend's boat. 在这个湖上我们很小心,因为那里有很多锋利的暗礁,而且湖水很浅。我们不想损坏朋友的船。

There are not many fish in the lake, but in the sea we sometimes catch a lot
with a hook, line and small pieces of bread. 湖里的鱼不多,但是在海里,我们有时能用吊钩、绳子和小面包片抓到很多鱼。

The fish are not very big, but they taste very good. 那些鱼不是很大,但是尝起来味道很不错。

When the weather is fine, we row to the land at lunch time, collect pieces of dry wood and fry or grill our fish over them on the beach. 天气好的时候,中午我们划到岸边,在海滩上搜集几块干木头,在岸上煎鱼或者烤鱼吃。

There is an island a kilometre from our friend's house, and we often sail to it. The water is very clean and we often bathe there. 离我朋友家一公里的地方有座小岛,我们常常划船去那里。那里的水很干净,我们常在那儿洗澡。
