闲话钓鱼(fishing)

古人曰:文武之道,一张一弛。生活需要娱乐,毫无疑问,垂钓(gonngling)也是一种娱乐。钓鱼需要准备渔具(fishing tackle):钓竿(fishing rod)、钓丝(fishing line)、钓钩(fish-hook)及钓饵(bait),有时还需准备个铅锤(sinker),以便钓丝能沉入水中。备好渔具,挑个风和日丽的口子,就可去海边或湖边钓鱼了。这又分两种:用线钓鱼(line fishing)和用网捕鱼(net fishing)。用钓丝钓鱼的人被称为 angler,用网捕鱼的人则为 fisherman。用钓丝钓鱼时,先需将饵料置于钓钩上,然后将钓竿放进水里,鱼从水底浮上来,游到有食饵的地方,英语为 rise to the bait。如:I could seethe fish on the bottom of thc riverk,but none of them would rise to the bait.
