节选自法国作家莫泊桑的短篇小说《两个朋友》，这里交代了两位主人翁经常相约钓鱼。

The original：

    In the spring, about ten o’clock in the morning, when the early sun caused a light mist（薄雾）to float on the water and gently warmed the backs of the two enthusiastic anglers（垂钓者）, Morissot（人名）would occasionally remark to his neighbor: “My, but it’s pleasant here. ”

    Some days they did not speak; at other times they chatted; but they understood each other perfectly without the aid of words, having similar tastes and feelings.

    In the autumn, toward the close of day, when the setting sun shed a blood-red glow over the western sky, and the reflection of the crimson（深红色的）clouds tinged（给……染色）the whole river with red, brought a glow to the faces of the two friends, and gilded（镀金）the trees, whose leaves were already turning at the first chill touch of winter, Monsieur Sauvage（人名）would sometimes smile at Morissot, and say: “What a glorious spectacle（壮观的景象）! ”
