走遍美国精讲 ACT 14-2 鱼，鱼，给我送条鱼来

Robbie已经饿了，可是还没有钓到鱼，Grandpa教了他一个让鱼上钩的“钓鱼秘诀”。念了遍“谜决”之后，Robbie还真的钓到了一条鱼。Philip只钓上了一只靴子。

Robbie: What time is it?

Grandpa: It's almost lunchtime, and no fish yet.

Robbie: I can go up to the lodge for some hot dogs and drinks.

Philip: No way! We're here to catch our lunch.

Grandpa: To catch fish, you need the right magic.

Philip: That's right. I forgot! The right magic. Do it for Robbie, Dad.

Grandpa: You remember?

Philip: Sure. Come on.

Grandpa: Well, first, you have to turn your hat around like this. Then you close your eyes and say the magic words. Fish, fish, send me a fish.

Robbie: Fish, fish, send me a fish...I got one!

Grandpa: See, it works!

Robbie: It's a big one!

Philip: Well, it always worked for me, too.

Robbie: Grandpa, get the net, please!

Robbie: Dad, you got one, too!

Philip: You bet I have!

Grandpa: Easy, Philip, easy.

Robbie: Sorry, Dad.

Philip: Well, one more and I've got a pair of boots.

Robbie: You didn't say the magic words.

Grandpa: Robbie's right.

Philip: Yes, but you did, and we've got our lunch.

【语言点精讲】

1. No way!

不行，决不可以。相当于'Absolutely not; forget it.'

2. Well, first, you have to turn your hat around like this. Then you close your eyes and say the magic words. Fish, fish, send me a fish.

首先，你得把帽子这样转过来。然后你闭上眼睛念咒语，鱼，鱼，给我送条鱼来。

First...then....，首先...然后....，用来描述顺序。

3. See, it works!

你瞧，很灵吧！work在这里是指“有效，起作用”。 随后Philip说的'Well, it always worked for me, too.'，里面的work也是这个意思。

4. You bet I have!

当然了我也钓到一条！

You bet相当于'You can be sure. '（当然了）。

5. One more and I've got a pair of boots.

再钓一只我就有一双靴子了。这是Philip用来自我调侃的话。这里的and表示必然会发生的后果，又如：

Say that again and I'll hit you.（你再说一遍我就揍你。）

One wrong step and you fall down the cliff．（走错一步，你就会掉下悬崖。）
