Lesson 20 One man in a boat
独坐孤舟

Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. 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,

But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. 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。

I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. 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。

After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 我总是在河上呆上整整一上午,然后空着袋子回家。

'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.'“你可别再钓鱼了!”我的朋友们说,“这是浪费时间。

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! ”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!
