Bearing frying pans, elusive toothbrushes, pies, lemonade and whisky, for medicinal purposes only, the three men and Montmorency the dog (whose ambition in life is to get in the way) embark on their hilarious adventures on the Thames. After considerable enjoyment and irritation - getting lost in the maze,arguing with some quarrelsome swans, falling in the river - the three men decide that being out of a boat seems a more inviting alternative. Despite being over a century old, its sparkhng insights into human - and canine - nature ensure that Three Men in a Boat is as fresh and invigorating today as when it was first published.
It seems to me so shocking to see the precious hours of a man’s life—the priceless moments that will never come back to him again—being wasted in mere brutish sleep.
看到他把生命最宝贵的时间——千金不换、一去不返的时间——浪费在猪一般的睡眠里,我感到震惊和痛心疾首!

典型的英式幽默,想看这本书就是因为那句“I love work so much, I can sit there and watch it all day.” 不过是一百多年前的书了,蛮多现在不常见的词汇和用法, 英文读起来又一点累。故事也比较散、节奏慢。

Such is life; and we are but as grass that is cut down, and put into the oven and baked.
