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. Fishing is my favourite sport. 钓鱼是我最喜欢的一项运动。 在这句话中，主语是fishing (为动名词)。 翻译：读书是我的爱好。________________________________________ I often fish for hours without catching anything. 我经常一钓数小时却一无所获。 这句话中catching也是动名词，它作介词without的宾语，catch后还有自己的宾语，anything。 翻译：他一句话都没说就出去了。__________________________________________________ catch v. 抓到 catch fish 抓鱼 catch thief 抓小偷 catch a cold 感冒； catch a bus 赶上车； catch one’s breath 屏住呼吸 catch sight of = see 看到； catch fire 着火 ； catch one’s eyes 吸引…人注意力 instead of + V-ing 而不是,代替 翻译：我骑自行车去了学校，而不是坐公交。________________________________________ After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 在河上呆了整整一个上午之后，我经常带着空袋子回家。 因为介词after的宾语的动名词所表示的动作发生在谓语动词go之前，因此用完成时having spent. waste v.&n. 浪费 e.g. You are wasting time. a waste of… e.g. It’s a waste of time/money/food. realize v. 意识到，认识到，实现 realize one’s dream 实现…人的梦想 e.g. I realized that I was wrong. 翻译：如果你想要实现你的梦想，你必须努力学习。 ______________________________________________________________________________ be interested in doing sth. 对做…感兴趣 e.g. I’m interested in reading. 我喜欢阅读。 翻译：你对打羽毛球感兴趣吗？____________________________________________________ 用词的正确形式填空： 1.Sherlock Holmes solved a lot of__________ according to the clues.
