NCE2(20)：One man in a boat_新概念英语

one man in a boat

　　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!

独坐孤舟

　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！
