Two avid¹ fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading² suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune.

两个殷切的钓鱼爱好者要进行一次钓鱼之旅。他们租了一切所需的器材：鱼线盘，钓竿，浅水服，小船，汽车，甚至一间林中小屋。为此，他们花了好多的钱。

The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.

第一天去钓鱼，他们什么也没钓到。第二天和第三天也是如此。直到最后，在他们旅行的最后一天，其中一个人钓到了一条鱼。

As they're driving home they're really depressed³. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"

回家的路上，他们都感到十分沮丧。一个人对另一个人说：“你发现没有？为了钓这条倒霉的鱼，我们花了1500块钱？”

The other guy says, "Wow! It's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"

另一个人说：“噢！幸亏我们没有钓到更多的鱼。”
