【課文】

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.

漁民和水手有時聲稱在海中見過怪物。盡管人們經(jīng)常嘲笑水手們講述的故事，但現(xiàn)在已知，這些有時被目擊到的“怪物”中，許多只是奇特的魚類。偶爾，會有一些不尋常的生物被沖到岸邊，但它們在海中卻很少被捕獲。然而，不久前，在馬達加斯加附近捕獲了一條奇特的魚。這條威力巨大的魚拉著魚線，將一艘小型漁船拖出了數(shù)英里遠。漁夫意識到這不是一條普通的魚，于是竭盡全力不去傷害它。當這條魚最終被帶上岸時，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)它超過13英尺長。它長著馬頭、藍色的大眼睛、閃閃發(fā)光的銀色皮膚和一條鮮紅色的尾巴。這條魚隨后被送往博物館，目前正在接受科學家的檢查，它被稱為皇帶魚。這種生物生活在600英尺深的海中，人類很少能看到活著的它們。
