新概念英語第二冊Lesson82課文翻譯及詞匯
【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(xiàn)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沖到岸上來，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，于是千方百計不讓它受到絲毫傷害。當終于把它弄上岸后，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)它身長超過了13英尺。它長著一個像馬一樣的頭，有著大的藍眼睛和閃閃發(fā)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(xiàn)正接受一位科學家的檢查。人們很少能看到活著的這類動物，因為它們生活在600英尺深的水下。

【課文】
The former Prime Minister, Mr. Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections. He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad. My friend, Patrick, has always been a fanatical opponent of Mr. Lane's Radical Progressive Party. After the elections, Patrick went to the former Prime Minister's house. When he asked if Mr. Lane lived there, the policeman on duty told him that since his defeat, the ex-Prime Minister had gone abroad. On the following day, Patrick went to the house again. The same policeman was just walking slowly past the entrance, when Patrick asked the same question. Though a little suspicious this time, the policeman gave him the same answer. The day after, Patrick went to the house once more and asked exactly the same question. This time, the policeman lost his temper. 'I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday,' he shouted, 'Mr. Lane was defeated in the elections. He has retired from political life and gone to live abroad!"
'I know,' answered Patrick, 'but I love to hear you say it!'

【課文】
Busmen have decided to go on strike next week. The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. No one knows how long it will last. The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions. Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week. Many owners of private cars are going to offer 'free rides' to people on their way to work. This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent. Meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts. All the students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test. The students are going to take the test in two days' time. Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work. But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in letters to the Press. Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast!

公共汽車司機決定下星期罷工。罷工定于星期二開始，誰也不知道會持續(xù)多久。司機們聲稱此次罷工將一直持續(xù)到就工資和工作條件問題達成全面協(xié)議的時候為止。多數(shù)人認為此次罷工至少會持續(xù)一個星期。很多私人汽車的車主正準備為乘車上班的人們提供“免費乘車”的服務，這將在某種程度上減輕對火車的壓力。與此同時，有一部分大學生自愿在罷工期間駕駛公共汽車。所有的學生都是開車的能手，但在駕駛公共汽車之前，他們必須通過一項專門測驗。學生們準備在兩天后就接受測驗。即使這樣，人們?nèi)詴械缴习嘤欣щy。但到目前為止，公眾已經(jīng)向新聞界寫信表達他們對學生們的感激之情了。只有一兩個人提出反對意見，說學生們會把車開得太快!
