最近大熱的Switch主機遊戲《集合吧！動物森友會》(Animal Crossing) 在國內出圈，沉迷其中的小夥伴們見面打招呼的方式也都已經變成了「你家今天大頭菜多少錢？」。
作為高度還原真實生活的經營養成類遊戲，「動森」的故事發生在一個無人島之中，玩家通過採集島上的資源來進行理想中的日常生活，比如收集木材可以製成釣竿, 而一旦擁有了釣竿，圍繞著釣魚、賣魚、賺錢、還貸的美好垂釣生活就從此一發不可收拾地展開了……
沉迷遊戲熬夜垂釣的烤鴨島主們大概不曾想過，自己手裡正忙活的生計實際上也是暗藏殺機的雅思口語話題。縱使曾經遊戲裡肝了上百小時，坐在雅思考官面前被問到「Why do you like fishing？」的時候腳趾頭也還是尷尬的摳出了三室一廳。
Fishing不單單是一個獨立的話題，順利拿下它之後可以同時搞定Spending time by yourself, Break, Leisure time / Outdoor / Family activities這些話題。那麼今天我們就來瞧一瞧，5-8月口語新話題Fishing怎麼破。
首先，來看一些細節描述時能夠派上用場的單詞和它們部分運用：
All of a sudden, a fish took the lure.
When a fish bit the hook, the floatstated bobbing.
To prevent the fish from escaping, they hauled upthe fishing net.
A tackle boxand large food-storage container works quite well when we go fishing.
While we stayed in the national park, she cast her fishing lineinto the lake every evening.
「動森」畫面渲染感人，以至於現實生活中並不熱愛垂釣的姑娘們也義無反顧的投入了環島釣魚的行列，哪怕什麼都不做，靜靜坐在岸邊仿佛也能理解為什麼會有人喜歡釣魚了，因為真的很放空也很放鬆。
1. Why do people go fishing?
在討論人們為什麼喜愛釣魚時，以下幾種思路可以作為參考：
① It is fun and thrilling
(not only is itfun, but it’s also thrilling 倒裝的使用可以提高語法多樣性哦!)
② Enables them tounplug/unwind/recharge their batteries
(這三種都可以在你想說relax的時候作為替換)
③ It’s a great escape from routine
④ Lowers anxiety and instills a sense of calm
⑤ Contemplate nature (for old pp especially)
看看例句：
First and foremost, fishing is a great way to spend a lot of time outdoors. And that applies no matter whether you catch anything or not.
首先，無論是否有收穫，垂釣都是打發戶外時光的好選擇。
Besides it’s a pleasure to haul your skills in order to catch fish that are hard to catch such as trout and bass.
除此以外，通過提升釣魚技能而捕獲高難度魚類例如鮭魚和鱸魚是一件樂事。
On top of that, some angles like all the gear that comes with fishing, they like nothing better than going over their fishing gear or ordering new items online: lures, floats, tackle boxes to name but a few.
再加上，有些釣友熱衷於釣具並且時常網購各類用具例如：假餌，魚浮，釣具盒等等，不一而足。
每當釣上不值錢又佔包包地方的魚，島主們都一遍遍在心裡默念這遊戲什麼時候才能開放烹飪技能？！屆時江湖上必將掀起一陣地攤經濟的熱潮：「活魚！現殺現烤！高蛋白，礦物質，熬夜島主值得擁有！」
2. Do you like eating fish?
如果答案是否定的，那麼理由可以參考：
①Iam allergic tofish and other types of seafood
② I’m actually a meat lover
③ I can’t stand its fishy smell and taste
喜歡吃魚的同學們可以直接看例句：
Absolutely, not only do I adore its smell and taste, but I also like the fact that eating fish and seafood provides me with essential high quality protein, minerals and vitamins that I need in my diet, more specifically according to researches that fish are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids which provide important benefits for brain function.
我特別喜愛吃魚，不僅因為我鍾愛魚類的香氣和味道，而且因為魚類能給我提供膳食所需的高蛋白，礦物質和維生素；尤其根據研究表明，魚類富含對於大腦功能有益的Omega-3脂肪酸
This is the primary reason why fish is among my stable food.
繞著島子不停尋找刷新的魚影幾乎就是還貸關鍵階段島主們為數不多的選擇之一，海邊，河口，瀑布，小溪只要地圖上有的水域，無論鹹淡，島主們提著魚竿就是衝。
3. Where can you see fish?
我們通常能夠在以下地點見到魚類：
Almost any waterreservoir(= a body of water)
E.g. rivers / streams / ponds / lakes / oceans /aquariums/ a fresh-water estuary 河口
例句：
I guess in water reservoirs like ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans.
It probably wouldn’t be any exaggeration to assert that virtually in every corner of the world where there is a body of water there has fish live in it.
毫不誇張地說，世界上任何有水體的地方都有魚類生存
Having said that, there are few key factors which enable fish to survive, for instance these deciding factors could be water temperature, the amount of oxygen as well as the availability of hiding areas and breeding areas.
魚類生存的至關重要的條件包含水溫，氧含量以及是否有躲避危險的餘地以及繁衍的空間。
今天的釣魚篇到此為止，各位島主可以踏踏實實回去釣魚，再也不必擔心自己的愛好難以言說了。
