25、熱帶魚(yú)
1. A small boy lay flat on his stomach in the royal garden of the King of Hawaii. Looking into the water and very excited, young Austin Strong saw shapes of double-tailed goldfish- a recent gift from the Emperor of Japan to His Oceanic Majesty, King Kalakaua. Austin lowered a bent pin attached to a piece of string.

2. A few minutes later he ran from the park, a royal goldfish flopping inside the crown of his straw hat. But on the road he heard a horse and carriage. It stopped. He was caught.
2、幾分鐘后他從公園里跑出來(lái)，一條寶貴的金魚(yú)躺在他的草帽殼里。但是，他聽(tīng)到了路上有馬車(chē)的聲音。馬車(chē)停下來(lái)，他被抓住了。
3. The frightened boy was led to the carriage. In it was King Kalakaua himself. Austin told of his crime. He had stolen the fancy goldfish.

4. Austin expected to be shot on the spot. Instead, the king sent a runner for fresh water. Placing the fish in the bowl, he presented it to the boy and took them home. The next day came an envelope with the royal seal. Inside was a letter signed by King Kalakaua giving Austin the right to fish in the royal park for the rest of his life.
4、奧斯汀預(yù)料自己會(huì)被當(dāng)場(chǎng)槍斃。然而，國(guó)王派了個(gè)快腿的人去取來(lái)新鮮水，然后把金魚(yú)放在碗里，把它送給了那個(gè)男孩并把他們送回家。第二天奧斯汀收到一件用皇家印記密封的信封。里面是卡拉卡瓦國(guó)王簽署信，他授予奧斯汀可以終身在皇家花園釣魚(yú)的權(quán)利。
5. Today fish collecting is still an exciting hobby in the Unite States. More the 20 million Americans own pet fish. Some raise plain or fancy goldfish, some collect fish found nearby. But the majority stock their tanks with "tropicals"-guppies and gouramies, bettas and angelfish, or others of the more than 150 kinds.
5、在今天的美國(guó)，養(yǎng)魚(yú)依然是一種激動(dòng)人心的愛(ài)好。有超過(guò)兩千萬(wàn)的美國(guó)人擁有自己的觀賞魚(yú)。一些人養(yǎng)普通或者奇特的金魚(yú)，一些人喂養(yǎng)在附近捕到的魚(yú)。但是，魚(yú)缸中最主要的品種是“熱帶魚(yú)”—虹鳉和絲足魚(yú)，貝塔和天使魚(yú)，或者其它什么魚(yú)，超過(guò)一百五十種。
6. Fish collectors pay from 19 cents for a guppy to $100 or more for hard-to-breed fish. They subscribe to such magazines as The Aquarium, and join clubs. They also spend more than a million dollars a year for fish, tanks, planes(應(yīng)為plants), sand, shells, food and gadgets for heating and cleaning aquariums.
6、養(yǎng)魚(yú)愛(ài)好者可以為虹鳉支付19美分，也可能為某種難以繁殖的魚(yú)付一百多美元。他們訂閱諸如“水族館”這樣的雜志，并且加入俱樂(lè)部。他們一年花費(fèi)超過(guò)一百萬(wàn)美元，用于魚(yú)、魚(yú)缸、水草、沙子、貝殼、魚(yú)食，以及用于加熱和清潔魚(yú)缸的器具。
7.Collecting tropical fish dates back to World War Ⅱ in this country. But raising of pet fish goes back to the early days of the Sung Dynasty in China, about 900 A.D., when they were raised in small bottles as house pets.
7、在（美國(guó)）這個(gè)國(guó)家里，收養(yǎng)熱帶魚(yú)的習(xí)慣可以追溯到第二次世界大戰(zhàn)。但是，人們飼養(yǎng)觀賞魚(yú)可以追溯到中國(guó)宋朝早期，大約公元900年左右。當(dāng)時(shí)，觀賞魚(yú)作為家庭寵物飼養(yǎng)在小瓶子里。
