晚餐吃什么

油煎鱼加炸土豆片一直是英国人喜爱的一道菜，但是随着海洋里的滥捕滥捞，鱼已经变得越来越昂贵。

因此，听说北海石油钻井平台上的潜水员受到巨型鱼类的恐吓，确实很让人吃惊。

钻井平台需要经常修理，潜水员常常要在水面100英尺以下摸黑工作，他们曾在工作时被撞到他们身上的大鱼吓得惊惶失措。

现在他们有了特制的笼子，用来保护他们免受大鱼的侵袭。

这些鱼并不是鲨鱼或逆戟鲸，而是深受人们喜爱的食用鱼品种，如鳕鱼和鳐鱼，只不过它们长得出奇地大，有时长达12英尺。

这些鱼能长得这么大是由3个因素造成的：

海底热的输油管道附近的温暖的海水；
钻井平台工作人员抛到海里充足的食物；
钻井平台周围根本没有捕鱼船只。

结果是，这些鱼就在可爱的温暖的水流中吃呀吃，长呀长。

究竟谁吃谁呢？

英文

What's for supper [ˈsʌpə(r)]

Fish and chips has always been a favourite [ˈfeɪvərɪt] dish in Britain [ˈbrɪt(ə)n], but as the oceans have been overfished, fish has become more and more expensive [ɪkˈspensɪv].

So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant [ˈdʒaɪənt] fish are terrifying [ˈterɪfaɪɪŋ] the divers [ˈdaɪvəz] on North Sea oil [ɔɪl] rigs [rɪɡz].

Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently [ˈfriːkwəntli] and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened [ˈfraɪt(ə)nd] out of their wits [wɪts] by giant fish bumping [ˈbʌmpɪŋ] into them as they work.

Now they have had special cages [ˈkeɪdʒɪz] made to protect them from these monsters [ˈmɒnstəz].

The fish are not sharks or killer whales [weɪlz], but favourite eating varieties [vəˈraɪətiz] like cod [kɒd] and skate [skeɪt] which grow to unnatural [ʌnˈnætʃrəl] size [saɪz], sometimes as twelve feet in length.

Three factors [ˈfæktəz] have caused [kɔːzd] these fish to grow so large:

the warm water round the hot oil pipes [paɪps] under the sea;
the plentiful [ˈplentɪf(ə)l] supply [səˈplaɪ] of food thrown overboard by the crew on the rigs;
the total absence [ˈæbsəns] 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.
