fishing with birds
Wang Damin sits on the side of the river cooking a meal,with a large bird on his head.The bird is a cormorant,and Damin is a fishermanHe is over 65 now but still works every day.he is thin,and of average height,but he is very fit.Although he is an elderly man,he is strong enough to control his raft in river where he lives and works with his cormorants.
Cormorants are large,black birds,about a metre long.They are good at catching fish,because they can swim well under water.Their large feet are used to push them quickly through the water.They can dive down 25 metres,and stay under water for up to two minutes.
Damin does not require nets or a fishing rod to catch fish.That is done for him by his twelve cormorants.A fishing trip often begins in the late afternoon.Damin sets off on his bamboo raft with his birds.When he reaches the right place,he stops.A piece of grass is tied around the neck of each bird,so that it cannot swallow the fish.Then Damin pushes the birds into the waterand jumps up and down and bangs the water with his pole.The fish are frightened by this.At night,a light is hung from the front of the raft.This enables the fisherman to see better,and also attracts the fish.The cormorants swim down and catch the fish,and bring them back to the raft.Later some of the fish are sold,and the rest are divided between Damin's family and the cormorants.
Cormorant fishing is a traditional Chinese skill,probably more than a thousand years old.Damin enjoys his work,and he is teaching his grandson everything he knows.However,few young people are interested in doing this type of work in the modern worldIn fifty years,perhaps there will be no more cormorant fishermen in the world.

王大明 坐在岸边做饭,在他头上有一只很大的鸟,这个鸟是鸬鹚.大民是一个渔夫,他现在已经超过65岁了,但他还是每天工作,他很瘦,身高很平均,但他很适合这个工作,尽管他是个老人.他足够强壮在他和他的鸟生活和工作的河里控制他的木筏.
鸬鹚是一种大型的,黑色的鸟,大约有一米长,擅长捕鱼,因为他们可以很好的在水下游泳.他们的大脚可以让他们很快的穿过水面.他们可以下潜25米,并且在水下最多待2分钟.
大民不需要渔网或鱼竿来捕鱼,因为这有他的12只鸬鹚来完成.钓鱼之旅总是在下午.大民和他的鸟坐在他的竹筏上,当他到达对的地方时,他就停下来.一片草被绑在每个鸟的脖子上,使他们不呢不能将鱼吞下.然后大民把鱼推入水中,让他们随着他的竹竿跳上跳下.在晚上,一盏灯挂在船头,这可以使渔夫看得更清楚,也可以吸引鱼.鸬鹚又下去捉住鱼,再返回竹筏.捕来的鱼,一些出售,另一些给大民的家人和他的鸬鹚.
用鸬鹚来捕鱼,是中国的传统.大约在1000年之前.大民喜欢他的工作,他教他的孙子每一件他知道的事情.然而,在这个摩登的时代,很少有年轻人对这一类型的工作感兴趣.在未来的五十年里,也许像用鸬鹚捕鱼的渔夫会消失在这个世界
