SECTION A： Translate the following underlined part of the Chinese text into English. （原 文） 乔羽的歌大家都熟悉。但他另外两大爱好却鲜为人知，那就是钓鱼和喝酒。 晚年的乔羽喜爱垂钓，他说，“有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境的，好环境便会给人好心情。我认为最好的钓鱼场所不是舒适的、给你准备好饿鱼的垂钓园，而是那极其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的场所。” 钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情的运动，有益于身心健康。乔羽说：“钓鱼可分三个阶段：第一阶段是吃鱼；第二阶段是吃鱼和情趣兼而有之；第三阶段主要是钓趣，面对一池碧水，将忧心烦恼全都抛在一边，使自己的身心得到充分休息。” （参考译文） The general public might be well-acquainted with the songs composed by Qiao Yu， but they might actually know very little about his two major hobbies-fishing and wine-drinking. In his later years （Late in his life）， Qiao Yu has become enamored of fishing （developed a penchant / special fondness for fishing）。 He asserts： “ Mostly speaking， a place with water and fish must necessarily be blessed with a nice setting， which in return keeps people in good mood. I believe that the optimum fishing places are not those commercial fishing centers/resorts which provide the fishermen with all the conveniences and where fish are kept hungry for ready capture， but those naturally-formed places in the wilderness which exert a special appeal.” According to him， fishing can constitute an activity conducive to the cultivation of one’s temperament and to one’s health， at once physical and psychological. Qiao Yu claims： “Fishing can be divided into three stages. The first stage consists of mere fish-eating； the second a combination of fish-eating and the pleasure （enjoyment） of fishing； the third primarily the pleasure of fishing when， confronted with a pond of clear water， one puts aside all his troubling vexations and annoyances and enjoys the total relaxation both mentally and physically.” 相关资料 |
