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 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!

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!

【課文講解】 fish一般情況下作為不可數(shù)名詞用

There are a lot of fishes(表示種類)in the sea.

fish(v.) : 釣魚, 捕魚

主語通常由名詞和代詞充當, 以及動詞+ing, 如eating,reading等等

for+時間……表示一段時間

for hours=for some hours

without(prep.)

介詞后面一定要加賓語, 介詞后面的動詞一定要加 “-ing”

動詞+ing : 1.做主語; 2.做賓語

anything用在否定句中

without作為狀語而出現(xiàn), 表示結(jié)果狀語

He went out without saying any words.

Without asking for money,the boy went to school.

without 后面的動作是主語來做的

(v.)worry sb. 作動詞一定要加人作賓語, 翻譯時從后往前翻

The house worried me. / My daughter worried me.

(adj.)be worried about 主語為賓語而感到擔心

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

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

instead of:我原準備做……但是后來做了……

I went to school instead of staying at home.我沒呆在家里而是去上學了

I bought books instead of buying dresses.

less+原形 : A is less ... than B (譯為不如) more beautiful / less beautiful

spend+時間+在某地 : 在某地度過……時間

after(conj.)+從句, 從句主語必須是主句的主語才能換成下面一種形式

after(prep.)+名詞/動詞的ing形式

After I go to school,I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一個事實, 不用 “went to” )

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

With an empty bag 注意連讀

with: 帶著(狀語)

without; 沒帶 I always go home without angthing. 什么都沒帶回家

give up doing sth : 放棄做某事/stop doing

give up smoking.

be interested in 主語對什么感興趣

在船上　in a boat

not at all在否定句中起強調(diào)作用
