英语翻译
Tom Jenkins enjoyed fishing and spent most of his time by the river． He enjoyed being in the fresh air and being on his own．There was no one to trouble him and the time passed happily for him． Unfortunately,he was not a very good fisherman．He either fished in the wrong place,used the wrong bait or pulled in his line too quickly． Whatever the reason,he never caught anything big enough to eat． However,he did not like to admit this to his wife．He thought she would complain if she knew he was wasting his time．She would try to stop him from going fishing． She might even make him take her shopping!It was very important to Tom,therefore,that she thought that he was a good fisherman． For this reason,on the way home from the river he always visited the local fish shop and bought something．Then he told his wife he had caught it and they had a good fish for their dinner． One evening,after yet another day'sunsuccessful fishing,Tom stopped at the fish shop as usual on his way home． “I'll have three perch（河鲈）,please,” he said to the shopkeeper． “And throw them to me,as usual,so Ican tell my wife I caught them．” The shopkeeper laughed and said,“I suggest you take a nice salmon（鲑鱼）instead．” “Oh,why?”Tom asked． “Your wife came in an hour ago and said,‘When Tom comes in,make sure he catches a salmon．'”

汤姆·杰金斯喜欢钓鱼,他的一生大多数时间都是在河边度过.他很享受新鲜空气并且只有他自己的生活.对他来说,时间过得很快,而且他也过得很幸福,没有什么人能打扰到他.但是不幸的是,他不是一个很好的渔夫,既不是因为他钓鱼的地方不对、诱饵用得不对,也不是因为他拉那根线太快了.无论原因是什么,他从来都没有钓到过一条很大的鱼能让他饱吃一顿的.然而,他不想跟他的妻子承认这个事实.他想,她知道他在浪费他自己的时间,她应该抱怨他的.她会想办法阻止他去钓鱼的.她甚至可能让他带她去购物.这对汤姆很重要,所以,她想,他应该是一个很好的渔夫吧.因为这个原因,在他从河边回家的路上,他总是会去当地的鱼店看看,并且买点鱼回家.然后,他告诉她的妻子,那是他钓到的鱼,然后他们就可以在晚餐的时候,有一条好鱼来吃吃了.有一天晚上,在另一个不成功的钓鱼日之后,汤姆像平常一样,在他回家的路上又来到这家鱼店.他对老板说：“请像平常一样帮我拿三条河鲈给我,然后我好可以告诉我的妻子,是我钓的这些鱼.”那老板笑着对他说：“我建议你还是用一条三文鱼代替吧!”汤姆问：“噢,为什么?”“你妻子一小时前来过了,并且她说,当汤姆来的时候,你要确保他钓的是一条三文鱼.”
