00:00:07,447 --> 00:00:09,938
Friends, today we will talk about CI task number one.
朋友们，今天我们来谈谈 CI 考试的任务一。

2
00:00:09,938 --> 00:00:13,248
In my opinion, this is the most important task on the CI exam.
在我看来，这是 CI 考试中最重要的任务。

3
00:00:13,248 --> 00:00:17,634
It is absolutely fundamental to most other tasks.
它是大多数其他任务的根本基础。

4
00:00:17,634 --> 00:00:25,038
You have to make a line pick, make six false casts or three, or however many,
你要做一次提线，然后做六次假投，或者三次，或者随便多少次，

5
00:00:25,038 --> 00:00:35,060
and then make some kind of cast—whether it's a "tail" cast, or a tight loop, or a "rich-mend," or a "wiggle-mend," or a cast with slack line; it doesn't matter.
然后做某种抛投——无论是追尾线环、紧致线环、“延伸修线”、“抖动修线”，还是带松弛线的抛投，都没关系。

6
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:39,765
You need to make a selection and make some good casts.
你需要做出选择，并做出漂亮的抛投。

7
00:00:39,765 --> 00:00:45,459
So, another reason why this is so important is because it is the first impression the examiner makes of you.
这件事如此重要的另一个原因，在于它是考官对你的第一印象。

8
00:00:45,459 --> 00:00:48,963
If the first impression is bad, you're in trouble.
如果第一印象不好，你就麻烦了。

9
00:00:48,963 --> 00:00:56,440
And I can say this after looking at a lot of tests, testing a lot of people, and watching them being tested:
我看了很多场考试、考了很多人、也看过很多人应考，所以我可以这么说：

10
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,309
anyone who does brilliantly on the first task is unlikely to fail this test.
在第一个任务上表现出色的人，几乎不会通不过这项考试。

11
00:01:01,309 --> 00:01:06,547
Anyone who has trouble with the first task finds themselves in big trouble.
而在第一个任务上出问题的人，就会陷入大麻烦。

12
00:01:06,547 --> 00:01:11,271
Even if they are unsure and get a minimum passing score,
即使他们心里没底，只拿到最低的及格分，

13
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:15,096
the problem is that if you barely pass, you will fail this test
问题在于：如果你只是勉强及格，你反而会通不过这场考试。

14
00:01:15,096 --> 00:01:21,017
because you will be too focused, for example, on " richness"; you will forget about the pick and your loop.
因为你会过于专注，比如过于专注在“延伸修线”上，结果忘了提线和线环。

15
00:01:21,017 --> 00:01:25,308
And when you forget about the pick and loop, they will go bad,
而当你忘了提线和线环时，它们就会变糟，

16
00:01:25,308 --> 00:01:31,719
and no matter how good your "thing- mend" is, you will fail the task because your pick and loops will be bad.
不管你的修线做得多好，你都会在这个任务上失分，因为你的提线和线环会很差。

17
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:36,417
So every task must have quality selection and quality loops.
所以每个任务都必须有高质量的抛投选择和高质量的线环。

18
00:01:36,417 --> 00:01:43,565
So, today we'll talk a little about the mechanics of retrieval, false casts, and returning the line to the water.
所以今天我们来简单讲讲收线、假投以及把线送回水面的动作要领。

19
00:01:43,565 --> 00:01:47,309
I'm breaking this down into a few different parts.
我把这部分拆成几个部分来讲。

20
00:01:47,309 --> 00:01:53,237
This may sound a bit silly, but at the beginning of every task, the first thing you should do is
这听起来可能有点傻，但每个任务开始时，你要做的第一件事就是

21
00:01:53,237 --> 00:01:57,670
lay the cord flat, and I see people laying it with all sorts of tricks.
把线平铺好；而我看到人们用各种花样来铺线。

22
00:02:00,409 --> 00:02:07,497
So when you prepare the cord for the next time, whenever you straighten it for any task, do it as cleanly, neatly, and precisely as possible.
所以，当你为下一次任务准备线、为任何任务把线理直时，都要尽可能干净、整齐、精确。

23
00:02:07,497 --> 00:02:09,718
Don't sit there making a bunch of mistakes.
不要坐在那里犯一堆错误。

24
00:02:09,718 --> 00:02:14,992
If you just finished doing a “wiggle mend” or a slack cast and you have a bunch of slack,
如果你刚做完“抖动修线”或松线抛投，线上有一大堆松弛，

25
00:02:14,992 --> 00:02:19,352
there’s no need to sit and struggle with it trying to fix it.
没必要坐在那里费劲地想把它们理顺。

26
00:02:19,352 --> 00:02:29,046
Simply turn it back, roll cast, lay the line, and lay it down neatly and evenly, lowering the rod tip each time.
只要把它转回来，做一次滚抛，把线放下去，铺得干净均匀，每次都把竿尖放低。

27
00:02:29,046 --> 00:02:30,395
This will be important.
这一点很重要。

28
00:02:30,395 --> 00:02:37,808
You should start every task, except obviously the "roll cast", with the rod tip down and the line straight.
除了“滚抛”之外，每个任务开始时你都应该把竿尖放低、把线拉直。

29
00:02:37,808 --> 00:02:41,695
Now let's talk about the rod tip part for this task.
现在我们来讲讲这个任务中竿尖的部分。

30
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:48,142
For the 40 feet of cord in the first task, the idea is that there is a big bias against you starting there.
在任务一的这 40 英尺线里，关键在于：从那个位置起步，会有很大的偏见对你不利。

31
00:02:48,142 --> 00:02:53,428
The reason is that most examiners perceive this as slack, and it is indeed slack,
原因是大多数考官会把这看作松弛，而它确实是松弛，

32
00:02:53,428 --> 00:03:01,988
but since you have such a short line, you can get away with it because you will have time to straighten the line before the casting arc is over.
但因为线这么短，你可以蒙混过去，因为在抛投弧结束之前你有时间把线拉直。

33
00:03:01,988 --> 00:03:04,736
But you have to get used to starting from the bottom position every time,
但你必须习惯每次都从下面的位置开始，

34
00:03:04,736 --> 00:03:08,830
because if you're 50 or 60 feet, and this is a question I would ask you on the CI
因为如果你面对的是 50 或 60 英尺的线——这是我在 CI 考试中会问你的一个问题——

35
00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:11,966
exam, why do we ask you to keep the rod tip down?
我们为什么要让你保持竿尖朝下？

36
00:03:11,966 --> 00:03:15,982
And the answer is: well, because there is slack when you pull up the cord.
答案是：因为当你向上提线时，会出现松弛。

37
00:03:15,982 --> 00:03:20,317
Well, that's true, but if I have 5 feet of cord released, the slack doesn't really matter.
这话没错，但如果我只放出 5 英尺的线，那点松弛其实无关紧要。

38
00:03:20,317 --> 00:03:24,763
So what I'm trying to say is that the most important thing we can talk about is that
所以我想说的是，我们能讨论的最重要的一点是：

39
00:03:24,763 --> 00:03:29,419
if you look here, I can make a pretty good climb starting right here.
你看这里，从这儿开始我就能做出很漂亮的提线。

40
00:03:29,419 --> 00:03:33,911
This climb is not bad, even if I start from here.
即使我从这里开始，这个提线也不错。

41
00:03:33,911 --> 00:03:37,359
And the reason is that I don't need much of a casting arc.
原因是我并不需要多大的抛投弧。

42
00:03:37,359 --> 00:03:40,698
But what if I have 60 feet of cord and I start from here?
但如果我有 60 英尺的线，而且从这里开始呢？

43
00:03:40,698 --> 00:03:43,246
Man, I would have to take the rod way back.
天哪，那我就得把竿往后带得很远。

44
00:03:43,246 --> 00:03:46,549
I won't even take that slack out of the cord until I get here.
我甚至要等到这里，才会把那点松弛从线上收掉。

45
00:03:46,549 --> 00:03:49,020
My fly will hit the water behind me.
我的毛钩会打到我身后的水面。

46
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:52,578
So the idea is that the correct answer is to have slack.
所以要点在于：正确的答案就是要让线有松弛。

47
00:03:52,578 --> 00:03:58,019
And that's why you want to keep it down, even if you don't actually need to put it down there.
这就是为什么你要让竿尖保持朝下，即使你其实并不需要把线放到那个位置。

48
00:03:58,019 --> 00:04:01,972
So, lay the line flat, rod tip down.
所以，把线平铺好，竿尖朝下。

49
00:04:01,972 --> 00:04:06,578
Okay, let's talk about some exercises you can do.
好，我们来讲几个可以做的练习。

50
00:04:06,578 --> 00:04:11,602
The first exercise is just practice. Practice when your cord is tangled.
第一个练习就是练：在线缠住的时候也要练。

51
00:04:15,627 --> 00:04:18,605
Ascent through "roll cast". Put it down.
用滚抛把它送出去，然后放下。

52
00:04:18,605 --> 00:04:21,775
The fly almost hit the cone. Okay, but just practice it.
毛钩差点打到标志锥。不过还是要多练。

53
00:04:21,775 --> 00:04:26,361
Practice with " wiggle mends." Just practice so you always get used to it.
练习做“抖动修线”，多练才能习惯。

54
00:04:26,361 --> 00:04:28,518
We don't want to do what I just did.
我们不想做我刚才那样的动作。

55
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:32,272
You do this, you lift that thing up in the air.
你这样做，就是把线高高地提起到空中。

56
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:42,014
So, now we have it. We will lower the line and rod tip every time we make a good cast.
现在我们明白了：每次做好一次抛投，都要把线和竿尖放低。

57
00:04:42,014 --> 00:04:47,256
Now back to what we're going to do with the lift itself?
现在回到正题：这个提起动作本身该怎么做？

58
00:04:47,256 --> 00:04:49,991
The climb itself is smooth from the very beginning.
提线动作从一开始就要平滑。

59
00:04:49,991 --> 00:04:54,596
So let's do a lift and just talk about the mechanics.
我们来做一次提起，并讲讲动作要领。

60
00:04:54,596 --> 00:05:04,292
All you need to do during this lift is simply lift the rod, continuing the movement smoothly until the knot starts to lift off the ground.
在这次提起中，你要做的就是抬起竿，把动作平稳地延续下去，直到线结开始离开地面。

61
00:05:04,292 --> 00:05:20,431
You just keep moving at that angle and stop when your knot, which will be here, comes off.
你就保持那个角度继续移动，等线结——它会在这个位置——离开地面时就停住。

62
00:05:20,431 --> 00:05:34,565
You'll see my rod stop at about 1 hour from my perspective, I'm not sure how it looks from the camera, but that's the lift.
你会看到，从我的角度看，我的竿在差不多 1 点钟的位置停住；我不知道镜头里看起来怎样，但这就是提起。

63
00:05:34,565 --> 00:05:41,027
Some of them will be slightly different. Some will be a little bigger or smaller,
这些动作会略有不同，有的幅度大一点，有的小一点，

64
00:05:41,027 --> 00:05:49,548
but they will all be about the same and perfectly acceptable as long as you lift smoothly and stop when the knot leaves the ground.
但只要提得平稳、在线结离开地面时停住，它们大致都一样，都完全可以接受。

65
00:05:49,548 --> 00:05:56,695
So I don't even need to look at the loop to know they're good enough.
所以我甚至不用看线环，就知道它们足够好了。

66
00:05:56,695 --> 00:06:03,292
The second thing you need to do is practice only in lifts.
第二件要做的事，就是只练提起动作。

67
00:06:03,292 --> 00:06:08,032
They just raised and lowered it. Raise and lower again, again and again.
只是把竿抬起再放下，一遍又一遍地重复。

68
00:06:08,032 --> 00:06:12,203
Just focus on watching the target and stopping in time.
只要专注于盯着目标，并及时停住。

69
00:06:35,296 --> 00:06:36,489
Now we need to think about the transition.
现在我们得想想过渡动作。

70
00:06:36,489 --> 00:06:41,909
When you finish moving here, if you haven't leaned back too much, if you're at 2 o'clock, that's probably fine.
当你在这里结束动作时，如果你没有向后仰太多，如果竿在 2 点钟的位置，那大概没问题。

71
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:48,334
You will still need a slightly downward trajectory for the first forward cast, or you will have to drift.
第一次前投时你仍然需要稍微向下的轨迹，否则就得做漂移。

72
00:06:48,334 --> 00:06:51,638
If you want to shift a little, that's fine,
如果你想稍微移一下，也没问题，

73
00:06:51,638 --> 00:07:00,883
because if you stopped at 1:30, shifted back to 2:00, and then started moving from 10:00 to 2:00, you'll get a flat casting plane.
因为如果你在 1:30 停住，向后移到 2:00，然后从 10:00 移动到 2:00，你就会得到一个平坦的抛投平面。

74
00:07:00,883 --> 00:07:06,052
If your trajectory is even, it will make some of your other tasks easier.
如果你的轨迹平稳均匀，会让你其他一些任务更容易。

75
00:07:06,052 --> 00:07:12,304
If you find yourself at 1:30 and don't want to do it because you don't really know how to shift, that's okay.
如果你发现自己停在 1:30，又不想移位，因为你不太会移，那也没关系。

76
00:07:12,304 --> 00:07:21,717
Now you just need to point the rod at about 9:30 instead of 10 o'clock, which will mean a slightly lower trajectory when casting forward.
这时你只要把竿指向大约 9:30 而不是 10 点钟，前投时的轨迹就会稍微低一点。

77
00:07:21,717 --> 00:07:30,532
After that, you will have to gradually adjust the movement to make it smoother if you want to achieve a really good presentation during other casts.
之后，如果你想在其他抛投中做出真正漂亮的呈现，就得逐步调整动作，让它更流畅。

78
00:07:30,532 --> 00:07:33,094
So, let me show you what I do.
那么，我来演示一下我的做法。

79
00:07:33,094 --> 00:08:07,178
I'm drifting a little. And then I try to keep everything pretty even.
我会稍微漂移一下，然后尽量让所有动作保持平稳。

80
00:08:13,234 --> 00:08:15,200
If you don't want to drift, then you should.
如果你不想漂移，那就别漂。

81
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:22,155
You see, during the first cast, the trajectory is slightly downward.
你看，第一次抛投时，轨迹是稍微向下的。

82
00:08:22,155 --> 00:08:30,358
But then raise the rod up. I do n't like it because it makes my back loop a little too big.
但接下来把竿抬起——我不喜欢这样，因为它会让我的后侧线环变得有点太大。

83
00:08:30,358 --> 00:08:33,916
A little bigger than usual when I raise the rod.
比平时抬竿时还要大一点。

84
00:08:33,916 --> 00:08:37,584
But you will have to figure out how to do it yourself.
但你得自己去琢磨该怎么做。

85
00:08:37,584 --> 00:08:43,354
The thing is, you have to realize: at some point, the lift will become the most important step,
关键在于，你必须意识到：到了某个阶段，提起会成为最重要的一步，

86
00:08:43,354 --> 00:08:50,271
and then, probably, the first false forward throw, because it is this movement that most often causes the problem with the " tail" loop.
接下来大概就是第一次前向假投，因为正是这个动作最常导致“追尾”线环的问题。

87
00:08:50,271 --> 00:08:54,722
At least, that's what I've observed over the years.
至少这是我这些年观察到的。
