HOW TO THINK LIKE A FISH: AND OTHER LESSONS FROM A LIFETIME IN ANGLING
Book ID/图书代码： 06580018C00020
English Summary/英文概要： Catching a river monster looks like a conjuring trick. Turning a creature of the imagination into real flesh and blood seems so unlikely that it appears to break the laws of nature.
After starting to fish in rural England more than fifty ago, and going on to become a captor of large, wily carp in his teens, Jeremy Wade started combining angling with far-flung exploration in 1982 - a trip to northern India via Afghanistan in a plane that just weeks later was hit by a ground-to-air missile. Since then Jeremy have caught an unparalleled array of large and outlandish fish from challenging locations all over the world, originally in seat-of-the-pants solo travels and more recently in the company of a TV crew. Among the fish caught are a dozen freshwater species over the weight of 100 pounds, some of which were unknown even to anglers until recently. As these catches have come more to the public attention, many people have approached Jeremy about how they can improve their fishing results.
This book is his reply. But far from being a conventional ’how to’ guide - there is already an abundance of fishing encyclopedias - this book is about simple, fundamental principles, a mindset for success. At its most basic, fishing is about converting something very insignificant - the bait - into something very substantial: a fish that could feed a family.
Fishing is about deception, so it has to engage the brain. It is an exercise in problem solving, where no two sets of circumstances are exactly the same, where success is an artful blend of drawing on experience and keeping an open mind.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 五十多年前，Jeremy Wade便开始在英格兰乡村捕鱼，十几岁时就开始捕食狡猾的大鲤鱼。1982年，Jeremy Wade开始将钓鱼和远距离探险结合起来——他乘坐飞机途经阿富汗前往印度北部旅行，而这架飞机在几周后便被一颗地对空导弹击中坠毁。从那时起，Jeremy便在世界各地充满挑战的地方捕获了一系列奇特的大鱼，从最初的单人旅行发展到最近和电视摄制组一起雏形。在他捕获的鱼类中，有12种重量超过100磅的淡水鱼，其中一些甚至直到最近才为钓鱼者所知。随着这些猎物越来越引起公众的注意，许多人都来向Jeremy 询问如何令捕鱼更具成效。
他的回答就在本书中。但是，这本书远非传统的方法指南——毕竟市场上已经存在大量的捕鱼百科全书。本书主要和读者分享了一些简单的基本原则以及成功的心态。从根本上来说，钓鱼就是将及其微小的东西（鱼饵）转化成足以喂饱一家人的大鱼。
捕鱼带有一定的欺骗性，所以必须有大脑的参与。这是一项旨在解决问题的练习，没有两种情况是完全相同的，而成功的秘诀就在于吸取经验并保持开放的心态。（LYR）
