新概念英语第二册逐句精讲语言点 第20课(3)

Lesson20 One man in a boat

课文内容：

Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hourswithout catching anything. But this does not worryme. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catchingfish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am evenless lucky. I never catch anything-not even oldboots. After having spent whole mornings onthe river, I always go home with an empty bag. ‘You must give up fishing!' my friends say.‘It's awaste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. Iam only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all !

精讲笔记：

我什么都没有钓到过——甚至连旧靴子也没有。

语言点1 never表示一点可能都没有,程度比一般否定要深。
