Lesson 65, Part 2

　 This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 65, Part 2.
　 　

　

ALLEN:

Come and talk to my sons, Martin.

　

MARTIN:

Thanks.

　

ALLEN:

This is Todd. Todd's taking us to the fish.

　

MARTIN:

Hi, Todd. Where are we going?

　

TODD:

We're going about a hundred miles northwest.

　

MARTIN:

Are there fish there?

　

TODD:

I hope so.

　

MARTIN:

How far do you go on fishing trips?

　

TODD:

Usually not far.

　

MARTIN:

What do you mean not far?

　

ALLEN:

Let's say two hundred miles.

　

TODD:

We've gone much farther. We go to Alaska sometimes. We almost went to Russia once.

　

MARTIN:

Why do you go so far?

　

ALLEN:

We can't find fish. We keep going until we find some. Let's talk to Bruce. He's working on the net.

　

BRUCE:

Are you enjoying the trip, Martin.

　

MARTIN:

Yes, so far. It's a beautiful day.

　

BRUCE:

Wait until it storms.

　

ALLEN:

Come on. The weather is perfect. It's not going to storm.

　

MARTIN:

I hope not. How long do you stay out?

　

BRUCE:

Two days and two nights.

　

ALLEN:

On a long trip we might stay five days. We can't make much money then.

　

MARTIN:

Why?

　

ALLEN:

We can't carry enough fish. Short trips are better.

　

BRUCE:

When we catch a lot of fish.

　

MARTIN:

You have a small crew. What happens when someone is missing?

　

BRUCE:

Do you mean when someone is sick?

　

MARTIN:

Yes, sick. Or some other problem.

　

ALLEN:

Sometimes I find another crew member. Sometimes we troll.

　

MARTIN:

What does that mean?

　

BRUCE:

We use lines. We don't use the nets. The nets take more men.

　

MARTIN:

Can you tell me about that?

　

BRUCE:

We put several lines at the back of the boat. The boat pulls the lines through the water.

　

ALLEN:

Each line has several hooks. One or two men can watch several lines. We catch the fish one by one.

　

MARTIN:

What kind of fish do you catch?

　

ALLEN:

We like to catch salmon and tuna. Sometimes we catch other fish, but they don't bring us much money.

　

MARTIN:

So salmon and tuna bring the most profit?

　

ALLEN:

Yes. They're profitable. We always sell those to my sister-in-law.

　

BRUCE:

We keep the profit in the family.

　

MARTIN:

Allen, is your brother a fisherman?

　

ALLEN:

No, he's like our father. He doesn't like fish.

　

MARTIN:

But his wife does?

　

BRUCE:

She likes fish, but she doesn't like fishing.

　

MARTIN:

Do you like fishing?

　

BRUCE:

It's OK. I really like the ocean. I love the water, the boat, the air. Fishing is the work that lets me be on the boat.

　

ALLEN:

At last, here's Chris.

　

CHRIS:

What do you mean, at last?

　

BRUCE:

We are getting hungry.

　

ALLEN:

Chris is the cook.

　

MARTIN:

Are we having fish for lunch?

　

CHRIS:

No, you haven't caught any yet.
