Lesson 90 What's for supper? 晚餐吃什么?
    Fish and chips has always been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans have been overfished, fish has become more and more expensive. So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs. Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work. Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters. The fish are not sharks or killer whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?
    句子講解:
    5、The fish are not sharks or killer whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length.
    這些巨大的魚并不是鯊魚或逆戟鯨,而是深受人們喜愛的食用魚品種,如鱈魚和鰩魚, 只不過它們長(zhǎng)得出奇地大,有時(shí)長(zhǎng)達(dá)12英尺。
    6、Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentifiil supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs.
    有三個(gè)原因?qū)е逻@些魚長(zhǎng)得這么大:在鉆井臺(tái)下輸油管道附近的海水都是溫暖的;鉆井臺(tái)上的工作人員拋到海里充足的食物;鉆井臺(tái)的四周沒有捕魚的船只。
    7、As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water.
    最終造成的結(jié)果就是這些魚在這般溫暖的水里不停地吃呀吃,長(zhǎng)呀長(zhǎng)。
    8、Who eats who?
    到底是誰(shuí)吃誰(shuí)呢?
