Lesson 20 One man in a boat 独坐孤舟

First listen and then answer the question.听录音, 然后回答以下问题.

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!

参考译文

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!

【课文讲解】 fish一般情况下作为不可数名词用

There are a lot of fishes(表示种类)in the sea.

fish(v.) : 钓鱼, 捕鱼

主语通常由名词和代词充当, 以及动词+ing, 如eating,reading等等

for+时间……表示一段时间

for hours=for some hours

without(prep.)

介词后面一定要加宾语, 介词后面的动词一定要加 “-ing”

动词+ing : 1.做主语; 2.做宾语

anything用在否定句中

without作为状语而出现, 表示结果状语

He went out without saying any words.

Without asking for money,the boy went to school.

without 后面的动作是主语来做的

(v.)worry sb. 作动词一定要加人作宾语, 翻译时从后往前翻

The house worried me. / My daughter worried me.

(adj.)be worried about 主语为宾语而感到担心

I was never worried about this. = This does not worry me.

instead of 后面的词一定是没有做的, 可以放在主句后面

without强调没有做某件事, instead of强调这件事没做成而做成了另外一件事

instead of:我原准备做……但是后来做了……

I went to school instead of staying at home.我没呆在家里而是去上学了

I bought books instead of buying dresses.

less+原形 : A is less ... than B (译为不如) more beautiful / less beautiful

spend+时间+在某地 : 在某地度过……时间

after(conj.)+从句, 从句主语必须是主句的主语才能换成下面一种形式

after(prep.)+名词/动词的ing形式

After I go to school,I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一个事实, 不用 “went to” )

After going to school,I learned a lot of knowledge.

With an empty bag 注意连读

with: 带着(状语)

without; 没带 I always go home without angthing. 什么都没带回家

give up doing sth : 放弃做某事/stop doing
