Lesson 82 Monster or fish? 是妖还是鱼？ 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. monster n. 怪物 sailor n. 海员 a bad sailor 常晕船的水手（good） seaman[ˈsimən] n.海员; 船员; 水手; 水兵 a fine seaman 优秀的水手 sight v.见到 n.1，视力，视觉 2，瞥见 in sight被见到，在望 at the sight of 见到...时，一见....就 caught （have，get）a sight of 发现；看出 out of sight 看不见 creature n. 动物，生物，人 create v.创造，造成 creative adj. 创造性的 改革的，创新的 recreation n.消遣，娱乐 --ture 所联想的词汇 future culture picture manufacture peculiar be peculiar to 是....所特有的 独特的 - particular in particular 特别地 particularly particle颗粒 part participate in participant [英] [pɑ:ˈtisipənt] shining adj. 闪闪发光的 shine 使发光，发亮；照耀 光亮 光泽 oarfish [英] [ˈɔ:ˌfɪʃ, ˈəʊr-] 桨鱼 weever[英] [ˈwi:və] 鲈鱼 carp[英] [kɑ:p] 鲤鱼 grass carp草鱼 crucian欧洲鲫鱼[ˈkru:ʃən] Asian carp 亚洲鲫鱼 Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. claim 声称，要求 声称 他声称在森林捡到钱 他声称自己是钢琴家 要求 出了车祸后，你向保险公司要求赔偿了吗？ 他声称在森林捡到钱 He claimed that the money was found in the forest. 他声称自己是钢琴家 He claims to be a good pianist. 出了车祸后，你向保险公司要求赔偿了吗？ Did you claim on the insu
