《The Fishing Spot That Was Taken》封面

Trevor and Colton fish at the same spot every Saturday. It sits under an old oak tree, past the second bend.

特雷弗和科尔顿每个星期六都在同一个地方钓鱼。那地方在一棵老橡树下,过了第二个河湾就到。

This Saturday, they walk down the path with their gear. When they reach the spot, someone else is already there.

这个星期六,他们带着渔具沿小路走下去。走到那个地方时,已经有别人在那儿了。

A man sits in a folding chair. Two fishing rods stand next to him. He waves at them in a friendly way.

一个男人坐在折叠椅上。他旁边立着两根鱼竿。他友好地朝他们挥了挥手。

"Morning," Colton says, trying not to sound annoyed. "This is usually our spot."

“早上好,”科尔顿说,尽量不让自己听起来不高兴,“这里通常是我们的位置。”

"Oh, sorry about that," the man says. "I didn't know. I can move if you want."

“哦,真抱歉,”那个男人说,“我不知道。你们要是想用,我可以让开。”

Trevor shakes his head. "No, it's fine. We'll just find another spot today."

特雷弗摇了摇头。“不用,没关系。我们今天去找别的地方就行。”

They walk on, down the river. They pass a small patch of tall grass. The bank there is narrow and a little muddy.

他们继续沿着河往前走。经过一小片高高的草丛。那里的河岸又窄又有点泥泞。

"This doesn't look great," Colton says, frowning at the mud.

“这儿看起来不太好,”科尔顿皱着眉看着泥地说。

They keep walking. They find a flat rock that sticks out over the water. From there, they can see a deep, calm pool below.

他们继续往前走。他们找到一块伸出水面的平石头。从那里,他们能看到下面一个又深又平静的水潭。

"Look at that," Trevor says, pointing at the pool. "Fish probably rest there, away from the current."

“你看那儿,”特雷弗指着水潭说,“鱼大概会在那里休息,避开水流。”

They set up their chairs on the flat rock. They cast their lines into the pool. Within ten minutes, Colton's rod bends sharply.

他们在平石头上支起椅子。他们把鱼线抛进了水潭。不到十分钟,科尔顿的鱼竿猛地弯了下去。

"I've got one!" he shouts, reeling it in carefully.

“我钓到了!”他喊道,小心地收着线。

It is a very big fish. Colton is very happy about it.

那是一条很大的鱼。科尔顿高兴极了。

"Maybe we need to thank that guy," Trevor says, laughing. They both look back toward their old spot.

“也许我们该谢谢那个人,”特雷弗笑着说。他们俩一起回头望向原来的那个位置。
