LESSON 20

One man in a boat

0:00 / 0:00

原文

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.

It's a waste of time. But they don't realise one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all.

译文

钓鱼是我最喜欢的运动。我经常钓鱼几个小时却什么也没钓到,但这并不让我担心。有些渔民就很不幸。他们不是抓鱼,而是抓旧靴子和垃圾。

我就更不幸运了。我从来没有抓过任何东西,甚至连旧靴子也没有。在河上度过整个早上后,我总是带着空袋子回家。我的朋友们说,你必须放弃钓鱼。

这是浪费时间。但他们没有意识到一件重要的事情。我对钓鱼不太感兴趣。我只对坐在船上什么都不做感兴趣。
