A person of the state of Lu loved angling very much.

 

Obsessed¹ with it, he used sweet-osmanthus as bait and a hook made of gold. He even inlayed the hook with siver thread and jade², and use thick thread made of kingfisher's feather as fishing thread.

 

When angling, he chose the right place and his pose was also correct, but he didn't catch much more fish than others. So as far as angling is concerned, the decoration is not important. When it comes to doing practical things, a glib³ tongue doesn't play a important role.

 

一个鲁国人特别喜欢钓鱼。

 

由于过分投入，他用名贵的桂香做鱼食，用黄金打造鱼钩，并在钩上镶嵌银丝和碧玉，用翡翠鸟的羽毛纺成粗丝线做钓鱼线。

 

钓鱼的时候，他持杆的姿势和选择的地点都很正确，但是钓上了的鱼并不比别人多多少。因此说，钓鱼这件事，美丽的装饰并不重要，做实际事物，口才敏捷也不起关键作用。
