20 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!
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！
