One man in a boat 独坐孤舟(取名的技巧)


Fishing is my favourite sport.

 fish (fishing 是一个动名词,由动词+ing 组成,动名词可以作主语或宾语,如 eating,reading 等等)
There are a lot of fishes(表示种类) in the sea. n. 鱼(不可数名词),鱼的种类(可数) Brian remembers learning to fish (v. 钓鱼, 捕鱼) in the Colorado River.布莱恩记得在科罗拉多河学过钓鱼。

I often fish for hours without catching anything.(结果状语)

without 是介词,后面一定要加宾语, 动名词catching 作without 的宾语,without 后面的动作是主语来做的。动名词也有动词的特性,可以有自己的宾语。
without 缺乏、没有 without 位于动名词前表示“不曾、不”
