The limpid water surface was moved by the breeze, the lake water ocean waves ripple, exude the ripples. Airborne is fluttering several white clouds, under the deep blue sky complementing, the lake water appears some bluing, the silver birch of surroundings luxuriant growth of leaves and branches reflects in the water surface, the spacious leaf rustle makes noise. 清澈水面被微风吹动,湖水碧波荡漾,泛起涟漪。空中飘着几朵白云,在蔚蓝天空映衬下,湖水显得有些发蓝,周围枝繁叶茂的白桦树倒映在水面,宽大的叶子沙沙作响。 This is located Lake Rota on prairie, was Snow Mountain Ranch formerly the name of master, such generations of spread, has existed for over a hundred years. 这是座落在草原上的罗塔湖,也是雪山牧场从前主人的名字,就这样一代代流传下来,已经存在上百年时间。 Lake surface about one kilometer width, extends 45 kilometers long and narrow, stretches across between Snow Mountain Ranch and Augsburg Ranch. Near the Lake Rota trees had not been felled, grows the cover, occasionally a fish dive has the water surface, falls to raise the huge water splash. 湖面大约有一公里宽,狭长延伸出四五公里,横跨在雪山牧场和奥格斯格牧场之间。罗塔湖边的树木没有被砍伐过,生长得十分茂密,偶尔一条鱼跃出水面,落下掀起巨大水花。 In the lake water not far place, a young boy wears the wide eave felt hat, on the foot is the double boasting small boots, as his footsteps vividly make the sound. 在离湖水不远的地方,一个小男孩戴着宽檐毡帽,脚上是双牛皮小靴子,随着他的脚步轻快发出声响。 Has the kitty that only feels sorry to lie on his hat, is balancing the body with the furry big tail diligently, was not fallen down by oneself, an eye stares perfectly round, on the face the wool stands erect. 有只可怜的猫咪正趴在他的帽子上,努力用毛茸茸大尾巴平衡着身体,不让自己掉下去,一双眼睛瞪得滚圆,脸上毛都竖立起来。 Shore Old Man white beard with the young man help, thrusts in 45 meters boat the water, is the string sits in the shore is waiting for anything, sees has not come for a long time, then lowers the head to scratch the fishing equipment carefully. 岸边白胡子老头在年轻小伙子帮助下,将四五米长的小船推入水中,然后系好绳子坐在岸边等待着什么,见许久还没来,便低头仔细擦起渔具。 Yes, old Patton must bring Han Xuan to fish today, this is the boy begs them to comply for a long time with the parents. The felt relieved mother also called the river character very good Anderson companion, this made him go out. 是的,今天老巴顿要带韩宣去钓鱼,这可是男孩跟父母央求好久他们才答应下来。放心的母亲还叫上水性很好的安德森陪伴,这才让他出门。 „Boy! You prepare to set sail, conquers turbulent sea?” Old Patton finds not far away small form, raised the head says with a smile loudly. “男孩！你准备好起航,去征服汹涌海洋了吗？”老巴顿瞧见不远处小身影,抬起头大声笑道。 The boys stop the footsteps, the standing at attention body, lifted the hand to lift a military salute: „Is the captain, sailor Han Xuan has prepared, grazes a horse Pacific Ocean!” 男孩停下脚步,立正身子,抬手举了个军礼:“是的船长,水手韩宣已经准备好,放马过来吧太平洋！” The earnest appearance teases the old person to laugh, Anderson reveals a words tooth, walks to go forward to help the boy wear the life jacket. 认真模样逗得老人哈哈大笑,安德森亮出一口白牙,走上前帮男孩穿起救生衣。 The boat embarked quickly, only need spend long time by the oar, can go the place that today must go. Small Han Xuan relies on lies down near the ship, the body paddles the rhythm to swing with Anderson. 小船很快出发了,光靠船桨要花很长时间,才能到达今天要去的地方。小韩宣倚躺在船边,身体随着安德森划动有节奏摇摆着。 The surroundings are very pure, contacts to send out sound other except for the oar and water surface is these workmen in grove, looks up to the sky, this tranquil feeling is hard to describe. 周围很清净,除了船桨与水面接触发出声音其他就是林子里的那些鸟叫,抬头望向天空,这种宁静感觉难以言状。 The boat goes toward the advance close to the shore, the surrounding many silver birches grow in the moist swampy ground, the tree root was submerged by the water, leaf Fengjian can also see the western hills indistinctly, boy comfortable was sleepy. 小船靠近岸边往前进行驶,周围好些白桦树生长在潮湿沼泽地里,树根被水淹没,叶缝间隐约还能看到西边群山,男孩舒服的都瞌睡了。 Fatty first embarking, just started is not a little uncomfortable, now jumps for joy in the boat, hits the master incautiously, Han Xuan awakening. 胖丁还是第一次上船,刚开始有点不舒服,现在在小船里活蹦乱跳,一不小心撞到主人,将韩宣给惊醒。 Old Patton throws dried sliced cheese, the boy lifts the arm to catch to admit the mouth, extends playing with water the hand, is whipping the lake surface. 老巴顿丢来一片干奶酪,男孩抬起手臂接住放进嘴里,将手伸出玩水,拍打着湖面。 Was just sighing with emotion the life to be happy at heart, the fingertip transmitted a touch, Han Xuan draws back the hand suddenly, a bighead carried over the water surface, then fell. 刚在心里感慨生活美好,指尖就传来一阵触感,韩宣猛然缩手,一只胖头鱼被带出水面,而后又滑落下去。 Old Patton rushed to hold the Han Xuan small hand carefully to look, discovered that only some red seal felt relieved, feared the boy was frightened, the mouth cracked a joke: „Cannot visit you are a expert, begins to catch the fish spatially, may be fiercer than me.” 老巴顿赶忙抓住韩宣小手仔细看了起来,发现只有些红印才放心,怕男孩受惊吓,嘴里开玩笑到:“看不出来你还是个高手,空着手就能抓到鱼,比我可厉害多了。” Helpless Han Xuan turns the white of the eye, asked to old Patton: „Just this was the Huaxia bighead? How they will appear here.” 韩宣无奈翻眼白,问向老巴顿:“刚刚这个是华夏的鳙鱼吧？它们怎么会在这里出现。” „Un, is the Huaxia carp right.” The old man replied: „Several years ago fished can bump into some perch and trout frequently, now mostly can only fish the Huaxia carp.” “恩,是华夏鲤鱼没错。”老头回答道:“前几年钓鱼经常能碰到些鲈鱼、鳟鱼,现在大多就只能钓到华夏鲤鱼了。” „These fish anything eat, particularly black that type, can make the food on the remaining pikes with them, look, jumps one, they were too many.” “这些鱼什么都吃,尤其是黑色那种,也就剩下狗鱼能和它们挣食,瞧,又跳出来一只,它们太多了。” Helpless the old man sighed, Anderson turned around saying: „I had not seen in childhood, the federation introduced Asian carp in the 70's, at first to govern algae, but these fish do not have the natural enemy in North America, more than ten years get down their quantity become more and more, these swim probably from the Sun River, in downstream Missouri River, they run rampant.” 老头无奈叹了口气,安德森转身说道:“我小时候没见到过,联邦七十年代引进亚洲鲤鱼,起初是为了治理水藻,不过这些鱼在北美没有天敌,十几年下来它们数量变得越来越多,这些大概是从森河游过来的,下游密苏里河里,它们已经泛滥成灾了。” Anderson university study is related specialized, therefore knows about these are more, 安德森大学学的就是相关专业,所以对这些了解更多, All the way verbosely is illustrating to Han Xuan and old Patton, crossed for more than ten minutes, finally found the place that suits fishes. This is to the shore pronounced water plant place, the nearby rush are many, there are trees to cover up, looks very cool, often has the fish to mix under water, causes the lake surface flood aliquation level wave light. 一路上絮絮叨叨向韩宣和老巴顿解说着,又过了十多分钟,终于找到一处适合垂钓的地方。这是个向岸边凸现的水草地,边上芦草很多,又有树木遮掩着,看上去很凉快,不时有鱼在水底搅动,使得湖面泛起层层波光。 An old Patton point expressed satisfaction, set out to toss into the water the iron anchor the fixed hull, started the preparatory work. 老巴顿点点表示满意,起身将铁质船锚抛入水中固定船身,开始了准备工作。 Fishes in United States, regardless of the rivers and streams lake or the sea, needs to purchase to fish fishing license, in three people old Patton has. 在美国垂钓,无论江河湖泊还是大海,都需要购买钓鱼证,三人里只有老巴顿有。 However here is the private pasture, the fish that so long as will not fish takes away to trade, no one will come to manage them. 不过这里是私人牧场,只要不将钓上来的鱼拿去贩卖,没人会来管他们。 Three fishing poles place near the cabin, the fish line and fishhook have many. 三根鱼竿放在船舱边上,鱼线和鱼钩也有不少。 Lake Rota many years have not undergone the fishing, the volume of fish is very big, the releasing lever broken line, before even/including Renla will get down incautiously this matter, has to happen. 罗塔湖好些年没经过打捞,鱼的体积很大,一不小心就会脱杆断线,连人拉下去这种事以前不是没发生过。 Han Xuan takes up Patton to help him prepare the good fishing pole, this is purefishing Corporation produces, more than four meters long fling the pole, placing in the hand felt very dexterous. 韩宣拿起巴顿帮他准备好的鱼竿,这是purefishing公司出产的,四米多长甩杆,放在手上感觉很轻巧。 In the past few days will buy the good false bait to hang up the fishhook, old close to looked that said to the boy: „Learns from me, flings to drive again on the line, is very simple.” 将前些天买好的假鱼饵挂上鱼钩,老巴看向男孩道:“跟我学,甩出去再拖动回来就行,很简单的。” Said that demonstrated to Han Xuan, the boy nods, bends the waist to catch up the bait to throw to the distant place water surface, the pulley squeak squeak is making a sound, light thump fell, rotates the pulley round trip recover of wire. 说完给韩宣演示了遍,男孩点点头,弯腰发力将鱼饵扔向远处水面,滑轮吱吱响着,轻咚一声落了下去,转动滑轮往回收线。 „Right! Is this.” “对！就是这样。” The old man is raising up a thumb to him, threw own bait. The fish can see the activity under water the object, false bait can also send out the fragrance, attracts them. 老头对着他竖起个大拇指,也将自己的鱼饵丢了出去。鱼在水底能看到活动的物体,假鱼饵自身也可以散发香味,吸引它们。 Without the corresponding state of mind, fishing is actually a very arid matter, more than 20 minutes repeat the similar movement, Anderson are then fishing to one less than three pounds small pike. 假如没有相应的心境,钓鱼其实是件很枯燥的事情,二十多分钟重复着同样的动作,安德森这才钓到一只不足三磅的小狗鱼。 Old Patton hanging bar frame near ship, helping Anderson take down the pike to lose returns to the lake, seeing the Han Xuan doubts look to explain: „It was too young, admits in the lake to raise again.” 老巴顿把垂杆架在船边,帮安德森取下狗鱼又丢回湖里,看见韩宣疑惑眼神解释道:“它太小了,放进湖里再养养。” The boys nod to continue to fish, the hull rocks in the water surface slightly. 男孩点点头继续垂钓,船身在水面轻微晃动。 Just was at noon, the fish was not quite good to fish, separated for a long time old Patton on the hook 78 pounds grass carp, took down it to admit near the ship fishing net, blinked to the boy. 刚刚是中午时分,鱼不太好钓,隔了许久老巴顿才钩上一条七八磅的草鲤,取下它放进船边的渔网,对男孩眨眨眼睛。 Han Xuan light snort/hum the sound expressed discontentedly , to continue to stare at the water surface bait. When does not know, one group of black water plants fluttered, just hooks on the boy fishhook. 韩宣轻哼了声表示不满,继续盯着水面鱼饵。不知什么时候,一团黑色水草飘了过来,刚好钩在男孩鱼钩上。 Helpless Han Xuan the rotation pulley round trip recover of wire, has not thought that transmits vigorously, almost led to stagger him. 韩宣无奈转动滑轮往回收线,没想一阵大力传来,差点把他带了个趔趄。 Patton hears the sound to turn the head, stands on tiptoes to start toward the lake surface to look, threw down the fishing pole stride to walk immediately, the mouth shouted: „Careful! Boys, hey! This is a turtle!” 巴顿听到声响转过头,踮起脚往湖面看去,立马丢下鱼竿大步走了过来,嘴里喊道:“小心点！男孩,嘿！这是只乌龟！” Put out a hand to receive the fishing pole, a foot lifted to build near the ship, outward loose line, after a while toward recycling. In the lake surface swats the water splash, separates the too far boy to look clearly, does not only see the claw big appearance, stands worries in the one side, on the face somewhat is also excited. 伸手接过鱼竿,一只脚抬起搭在船边,往外松线,过了一会儿又往回收。湖面上扑打起水花,隔太远男孩瞧不清楚,只看见爪子蛮大的样子,站在一旁干着急,脸上又有些激动。 Fishes on the ship is not good to catch up, the hull non-stop fluttering toward that side, has the anchor to fix luckily. Also refused to compromise for 45 minutes, that big fellow submitted finally, accepts fate is fluttering on the water surface. 在船上钓鱼不好发力,船身不停往那边飘,幸好有锚固定着。又僵持了四五分钟,那个大家伙终于屈服了,认命在水面上飘着。 The old man hands over in the fishing pole the boy hand, said with a smile: „Sailor, we caught the sea turtle, you hauled back the ship it, the senior captain I helped you visit it!” 老头把鱼竿交到男孩手里,笑道:“水手,我们抓到海龟了,你将它拖回船上来吧,老船长我来帮你看着它！” The Anderson also connection said: „I also see some people to fish this for the first time, you are really the good luck.” 安德森也接口道:“我还第一次看见有人钓到这个,你真是好运气。” Small Han Xuan rubbed hands, received the fishing pole to make an effort strenuously, did not expect halfway that turtle to struggle, the Anderson help held, must let go. As the fish line receives gradually, the turtle also revealed the complete picture, it has the eagle same upper jaw, the small eye closely is staring at several people, before sturdy four limbs , the claw is very sharp, on about 60-cm dark green carapace, is covered with the lozenge meat to puncture suddenly. 小韩宣搓搓手,接过鱼竿吃力使劲,不料到半路那只乌龟又挣扎起来,要不是安德森帮忙抓住,现在都要脱手了。随着鱼线渐渐收起,乌龟也露出了全貌,它有着老鹰一样的上颚,小眼睛正紧紧盯着几人,粗壮四肢前爪子很锋利,长达60厘米左右的墨绿色龟甲上,长满棱形肉突刺。 This is only North America snapping turtle, looked that perhaps the build has 50 years old upward, misses well with the old Patton age. When drags to the ship near, Anderson plans to fish it incautiously, almost by this only snapping turtle biting, on the ship has a fishing net luckily, this safe makes to embark it. 这是只北美鳄龟,看体型恐怕已经有50岁往上了,跟老巴顿年纪都差不错。等拖到船边时,安德森打算将它捞上来一不小心,差点被这只鳄龟给咬到手,幸好船上有个渔网,这才安全将它弄上船。 Fishhook not in its mouth, but hangs on the foreleg, punctured is very deep, was just driven, pulled out a 78 centimeters wound, old Patton helps it pulls out, snapping turtle still in the opening mouth prepares to bite. 鱼钩不在它的嘴里,而是挂在前肢上,刺的很深,刚刚被拖动,拉出了一道七八厘米长伤口,老巴顿帮它拔出来的时候,鳄龟还在张大嘴巴准备咬人。 Small Fatty has not seen this fellow, but knows evidently it is not affable, the little darling stands on the box looks at the turtle. Han Xuan knew that it is protect animals snapping turtle, suddenly somewhat worries, wants to put, but it was injured, turns the head to look to the side. 小胖丁没见过这种家伙,但看样子就知道它不好惹,乖乖站在箱子上看着乌龟。韩宣得知它是保护动物鳄龟,突然有些犯了难,想放回去但它又受伤了,转头看向身边。 Old Patton is also same, scratches the head saying: „Or first belt/bring goes back to treat.” 老巴顿也是一样,挠挠头说道:“要不先带回去治疗吧。” „Only can first like this...” “只能先这样了…” Big snapping turtle lies in the cabin the motionless, before small eye closely is staring at the body the kitten, Fatty is also visiting it, the big eye is fiery, this type is locked in a stalemate. 大鳄龟趴在船舱里一动不动,小眼睛紧紧盯着身前小猫,胖丁也在看着它,大眼睛炯炯有神,这就样相持着。 Some weather blackouts, seem like soon rain suddenly. Han Xuan their luck improves, the big fish swallows the bait one after another, in the fishing net packed less than half. 天色忽然有些转暗,看上去快要下雨了。韩宣他们运气变好起来,大鱼接连上钩,渔网里都装满了小半。 In the evening the time starts to go home, the roadside is very beautiful, the leading wire drizzle is joined to the deep green lake water. 傍晚时候启程回家,路边很美,斜风细雨配上碧绿湖水。 What a pity old and young several people did not have the belt/bring umbrella, fast, absolutely not to have the morning leisurely and carefree mood that the Anderson oar delimited. 可惜老少几人都没带伞,安德森船桨划的飞快,完全没了早上闲情逸致。 Fatty hides under the boy body, played with water happily, shakes the hair to splash the boy whole face, clapped two palms of the hand to be honest toward its buttocks on until Han Xuan. 胖丁躲在男孩身子下面,愉快玩起水来,抖抖毛发溅了男孩满脸,直到韩宣往它屁股上拍了两巴掌才老实。 Big snapping turtle is happiest, crawled in the cabin slowly. 只有大鳄龟最开心,慢悠悠在船舱里爬了起来。 The boat returns to the wharf quickly. 小船很快就回到码头。 PS: Tonight will go to Taipei 101 to look at the carrying over to the next year smoke and fire, the renewal possibly late, everyone Happy New Year, will seek the recommendation and collection, thanks ~ PS:今晚去台北101看跨年烟火,更新可能会迟,大家新年快乐,求推荐和收藏,谢谢啦~ Welcome the general book friends to visit reading, latest, quickest and hottest serial publication performs in the mobile phone user welcome to reading. 欢迎广大书友光临阅读,最新、最快、最火的连载作品尽在手机用户请到阅读。
