【Text】
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!
参考译文
钓鱼是我特别喜爱的一项运动. 我经常一钓数小时却一无所获, 但我从不为此烦恼. 有些垂钓者就是不走运, 他们往往鱼钓不到, 却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾. 我的运气甚至还不及他们. 我什么东西也未钓到过 -- 就连旧靴子也没有. 我总是在河上呆上整整一上午, 然后空着袋子回家. “你可别再钓鱼了!” 我的朋友们说, “这是浪费时间. “然而他们没有认识到重要的一点, 我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣, 我感兴趣的只是独坐孤舟, 无所事事!
【课文讲解】
1、Fishing is my favourite sport.
fishing 是一个动名词，由动词+ing 组成，动名词可以作主语或宾语，如 eating，reading 等等
★fish
① n. 鱼（不可数名词），鱼的种类（可数）
There are a lot of fishes(表示种类)in the sea.
② v. 钓鱼, 捕鱼
2、I often fish for hours without catching anything. for+时间 表示一段时间
for hours=for some hours 数小时
without catching anything 作为状语而出现, 表示结果状语。without 是介词，后面一定要加宾语, 动名词catching 作 without 的宾语，without 后面的动作是主语来做的。动名词也有动词的特性，可以有自己的宾语。
without 通常表示“缺乏、没有”；当它位于动名词前时，表示“不曾、不”
I can’t repair the car without your help.
They tried to leave the restaurant without paying. He went out without saying any words.
3、But this does not worry me.
★worry
① v. 烦恼，担扰
worry sb. 某人为……烦恼，担扰（作动词一定要加人作宾语, 翻译时从后往前翻，宾语担心）
The house worried me. / My daughter worried me.
① adj. 担心
be worried about ……为……担心
I was never worried about this. = This does not worry me.
4、Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.
instead of… 我原准备做……但是后来做了……（instead of 后面的词一定是没有做的, 可以放在
主句后面）
I went to school instead of staying at home. 我没呆在家里而是去上学了
I bought books instead of buying dresses.
without 强调没有做某件事, instead of 强调这件事没做成而做成了另外一件事
副词 instead“作为替代，反而”，单独使用时一般出现在句尾
If you don’t want a holiday in England, why don’t you go to Australia instead?
5、I am even less lucky.
less 是 little 的比较级，意为“不及，不如，更少”
I spend less time on English than on French. less+原形
A is less…than B A 不如B
6、After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. spend+时间+在某地 在某地度过……时间
after
after
After I go to school, I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一个事实, 不用 “went to” ) After going to school, I learned a lot of knowledge.
介词after 的宾语的动名词 having spent 所表示的动作发生在谓语动词 go 之前，所以动名词用完成形式。
with an empty bag 注意连读
with sth. 有……的，持有……的，随身带着……(状语) Who’s the man with the beard?
without sth. 没带……
I always go home without angthing. 什么都没带回家
7、'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.
give up doing sth. = stop doing sth. 放弃做某事
Give up smoking.
8、I'm not really interested in fishing.
be intersted in sth. / doing sth. 对……感兴趣
I’m interested in collecting stamps.
【Key structures】
动名词
动词+ing 作名词时称为动名词，它仍有动词的属性，可以接宾语，动名词可以代替名词做主语和宾语
或介词宾语。
1、动名词作主语
Watching television is my favourite pastime. 看电视是我最喜爱的业余爱好. 2、动名词作宾语
I am very keen on cycling. 我非常喜欢骑自行车. He is capable of doing anything. 他能胜任任何事情.
3、利用介词/副词+动名词可以把两个句子连成一个句子apologize for (not) doing sth. 为什么事情而道歉
I must apologize. I interrupted you. 我得表示道歉. 我打断了你的说话(工作). I must apologize for interrupting you.
由于打断了你的说话(工作), 我得表示道歉. （for interrupting 强调 interrupt 这个动词）
I must apologize for having interrupted you.（for having interrupted 强调interrupt 这个动词先发生，强调时间 (having done)）
以上两者为时间概念不同，意思相同
congratulate (sb.) on doing sth. 因……祝贺（某人）
He congratulated me. I won the competition. 他向我道贺. 我赢得了这次比赛.
He congratulated me on winning the competition. 在我赢得这次比赛之际, 他向我祝贺. He congratulated me on having won the competition.
thank you for listening/attending
动名词用表示完成时的 having+过去分词结构往往强调动名词的动词发生在前面。4、跟动名词的短语
be keen on doing sth.（热忠于……）,be fond of,be interested in,enjoy doing sth.（喜欢做某事）， congratulations on doing sth. （祝贺……）
be afraid of
be up to=be capable of (capable adj.有能力的, 能干的, 有可能的, 可以...的) 可以带动名词的介词有：before，after，without，instead of 等
I can’t watch TV without falling asleep. 我看电视时必定会睡着。
5、动名词的否定式是在它前面直接加 not。
Exercises C(用括号中的词来连接下列句子, 如需要可对原句进行必要的改动) 2.She bought a pair of boots. (instead of) She did not get a pair of shoes.

4.(After) She heard the news. She fainted. after+从句； after prep.+doing
After hearing the news,she fainted. （faint vi.昏晕, 昏倒）

as soon as 一……就……
the moment +从句 一……就…… 以上两个主语不一定是同一个人
