There was a group called "The Fisherman’s Fellowship". They were surrounded by streams and lakes full of hungry fish. They met regularly to discuss the call to fish, and the thrill of catching fish. They got excited about fishing!!
　　在一个河湖密布鱼虾成群的地方成立了一个“钓鱼者协会”，协会的每个成员都是钓鱼的热衷者，他们时常聚在一起畅谈钓鱼的心得和钓鱼所带来的种种欢乐。

　　Someone suggested that they needed a philosophy of fishing, so they carefully defined and redefined fishing, and the purpose of fishing. They developed fishing strategies and tactics. Then they realized that they had been going at it backwards. They had approached fishing from the point of view of the fisherman, and not from the point of view of the fish. How do fish view the world? How does the fisherman appear to the fish? What do fish eat, and when? These are all good things to know. So they began research studies, and attended conferences on fishing. Some traveled to far away places to study different kinds of fish, with different habits. Some got PhD’s in fishology. But no one had yet gone fishing.
　　其中还有人提出应该对钓鱼形成一套理论，因此，他们谨慎地对钓鱼和钓鱼的目的进行了反复的定义，甚至还得出了关于钓鱼的战略和战术。但很快他们又意识到这样去研究钓鱼其实是一个倒退，因为他们仍然是从渔夫的角度而不是从鱼本身的角度来探讨钓鱼这一行为的。世界在鱼的眼里究竟是怎么样的？渔夫的出现对鱼又意味着什么？鱼吃什么，何时进食？这些才是需要弄懂的问题，于是他们又开始了新的调查研究，参加各种各样的关于钓鱼的讨论会，有些人还不辞千里到各地研究不同种类、不同习性的鱼，甚至有些还成为了研究鱼类的理论博士，但是他们当中没有一个真正去钓过鱼。

　　So a committee was formed to send out fishermen. As prospective fishing places outnumbered fishermen, the committee needed to determine priorities.
　　考虑到可供钓鱼的地方多而钓鱼者少，协会为此还专门成立了一个委员会来评估各种钓鱼场所，并给这些场所先后排名。

　　A priority list of fishing places was posted on bulletin boards in all of the fellowship halls. But still, no one was fishing. A survey was launched, to find out why… Most did not answer the survey, but from those that did, it was discovered that some felt called to study fish, a few to furnish fishing equipment, and several to go around encouraging the fisherman.
　　于是，协会各个大厅的公告栏上都贴了一份名册表注明哪些地方可以优先钓鱼，但结果还是没有谁去钓。为什么会出现这样的现象呢？协会又发起了问卷调查，大部分人没有反应，但从那些填写了问卷的人可以得知，有些人是在忙着研究鱼类，有些是在忙着完善钓鱼的装备，还有一些正在忙着到处发动人们去钓鱼。
