乔羽的歌大家都熟悉。但他另外两大爱好却鲜为人知，那就是钓鱼和喝酒。
晚年的乔 羽喜爱垂钓，他说，有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境的，好环境便
会给人好心情。我认为最好的钓鱼场所 不是舒适的、给你准备好饿鱼的垂钓园，
而是那极其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的场所。钓鱼是一项能够 陶冶性情的运
动，有益于身心健康。乔羽说：钓鱼可分三个阶段：第一阶段是吃鱼；第二阶段
是 吃鱼和情趣兼而有之；第三阶段主要是钓趣，面对一池碧水，将忧心烦恼全都
抛在一边，使自己的身心得 到充分休息。

The general public might be well-acquainted with the songs composed by Qiao Yu,
but they might actually know very little about his two major hobbies-fishing and wine-
drinking.
In his later years (Late in his life), Qiao Yu has become enamored of fishing
(developed a penchant / special fondness for fishing). He asserts:

his troubling vexations and annoyances and enjoys the total relaxation both mentally
and physically.

one''s perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high.
What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau
certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much
effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts.
Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging
difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a
lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in
something like the same terms when he spoke of
mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be
effortless.
We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty
there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The
rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty. When someone ruins the fun,
he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are
