A Day in the Stream溪流垂钓的一天I stepped out of my four-wheel drive to meet my client and his wife.我从汽车上下来，去见我的客户和他的妻子。He was strong and solidly built. He looked like a model for an outdoor catalogue. The fishing vest was stiff with newness; all of the correct hardware, shiny and untested, hung from his chest, like tools in a toolshed. The felt on his wading boots was as white as snow. A handcrafted net swung on his back. The rod and never gotten wet, much less caught a fish, and the line was shiny from lack of use. The reel was on backward.他身体强壮结实，看起来就像户外运动宣传册上的模特。崭新的钓竿笔挺，所有的器具都闪着光泽，从未被使用过。他把它们挂在胸前，就想搁置在工具房里的工具。他背上挂着一个手工编织的渔网，水靴上的毛毡像雪一样洁白。钓竿从没弄湿过，更别说钓过鱼了，钓鱼线因为没有用过而闪闪发光，卷线轴装反了。“Typical beginner,” I thought, rich and, like many rich people in my experience, probably demanding.“典型的新手”，我想，根据我的经验，他跟所有的富人一样，有钱，但可能很苛刻。I reached out to shake his hand.

It just looked right from the beginning, and he was charmed by the way the line seemed to magically flow above his silhouette on the lawn.让我惊讶不已的是，他是那种少有的几乎是立刻入门的人，从一开始，他就抛得很到位。草坪上倒映着他的影子，他看到钓线魔术般地飞过他的影子上方时，不禁欢呼雀跃。“I could just stand here all day and cast.” He said, smiling.“我可以整天站在这儿抛线。”他笑着说。Even in hip waders we were overdressed for the ankle-deep creek, but we stepped in, waded out to the middle and faced upstream. My client cast, and I pointed to the place the fly should and.对于这水深齐踝的小溪来说，我们穿着长及臀部的水靴，似乎有些夸张。于是，我们走进水里，走到小溪中央，面对着小溪的上游。我的客户开始抛线，我指出钓线应该飞到的地方。“Oh, hey!
