Lesson 20
One man in a boat
獨坐孤舟
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
Why is fishing the writers 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. Its a waste of time. But they dont realize one important thing. Im not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

參考譯文
釣魚是我特別喜愛的一項運動。我經(jīng)常一釣數(shù)小時卻一無所獲,但我從不為此煩惱。有些垂釣者就是不走運,他們往往魚釣不到,卻釣上來些舊靴子和垃圾。我的運氣甚至還不及他們。我什么東西也未釣到過 -- 就連舊靴子也沒有。我總是在河上呆上整整一上午,然后空著袋子回家。“你可別再釣魚了!”我的朋友們說,“這是浪費時間。”然而他們沒有認(rèn)識到重要的一點,我并不是真的對釣魚有興趣,我感興趣的只是獨坐孤舟,無所事事!

without 后面的動作是主語來做的

instead of 后面的詞一定是沒有做的, 可以放在主句后面
without強調(diào)沒有做某件事, instead of強調(diào)這件事沒做成而做成了另外一件事
