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 reallyinterested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

Notes on the text 课文注释
1 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，这是一个动名词，由动词加上-ing组成。
2 I often fish for hours without catching anything. 我经常一钓数小时却一无所获。这句话中的catching也是动名词，它作介词without的宾语。动名词也有动词的特性，它可以有自己的宾语。
3 Aftef having spent whole mornings on the river，在河上呆了整整一个上午之后。由于作介词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，动名词要用完成形式，即having spent。
4 be interested in doing sth．，对做……感兴趣。
