第一部分 WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS

第二部分 TEXT

Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these ‘monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way. When it was eventually brought. to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.

參考譯文

漁夫和水手們有時聲稱自己看到過海里的妖怪。雖然人們常常對水手們講的故事付諸一笑，但現在看來，人們有時看到的這些"妖怪"很多不過是些奇怪的魚。一些異常的生物偶爾會被衝到岸上來，但它們在海上卻極少能被捕到。然而不久前，在馬達加斯加附近的海里卻捕到了一條奇怪的魚。一條小漁船被一條咬住鉤的強壯的大魚拖到了幾英里以外的海面上。那位漁民意識到這根本不是一條普通的魚，於是千方百計不讓它受到絲毫傷害。當終於把它弄上岸後，人們發現它身長超過了13英尺。它長着一個像馬一樣的頭，有着大的藍眼睛和閃閃發光的銀色皮膚，還有一條鮮紅色的尾巴。此魚叫槳魚，被送進了博物館，現正接受一位科學家的檢查。人們很少能看到活着的這類動物，因爲它們生活在600英尺深的水下。
