新概念英语第二册精讲：lesson 20 One man in a boat
Why is fishing the writer's 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. '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!

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!
