 During this period the fish Conseil and I observed differed little from those we had already studied in other latitudes 1.  康塞尔和我在这个期间所观察到的鱼类,跟我门在别的纬度下研究过的,并没有多大差别。


Chief among them were specimens 2 of that dreadful cartilaginous genus that's divided into three subgenera numbering at least thirty-two species:  主要是那种可怕的软骨鱼属中的一些鱼,它们分为三个亚属,一共不下三十二带条纹的鲛鱼,
striped sharks five meters long, the head squat 3 and wider than the body, the caudal fin 4 curved, the back with seven big, black, parallel lines running lengthwise;  五米长,扁扁的头比身躯还大,尾鳍作圆形,背上有七条平行斜下的黑色大带:其次是珠子鲛鱼,灰色,鳃间穿有七个孔,单有一个脊鳍,长在身上中间部份。
then perlon sharks, ash gray, pierced with seven gill openings, furnished with a single dorsal 5 fin placed almost exactly in the middle of the body. 又有大海狗走过,从前人们曾把它当做贪食凶恶的海鱼。
Some big dogfish also passed by, a voracious 6 species of shark if there ever was one.  一队一队漂亮的疯魔海猪,整整有好几天陪着我们。
With some justice, fishermen's yarns 7 aren't to be trusted, but here's what a few of them relate. Inside the corpse 8 of one of these animals there were found a buffalo 9 head and a whole calf;  它们五六条一群,像狼在乡间那样。
in another, two tuna and a sailor in uniform; in yet another, a soldier with his saber; in another, finally, a horse with its rider.  它们的身子长三米,上面黑色,下面红白色,带有很罕见的小斑点。
In candor 10, none of these sounds like divinely inspired truth. But the fact remains 11 that not a single dogfish let itself get caught in the Nautilus's nets, so I can't vouch 12 for their voracity 13. 这次鱼类观察终于结束,康塞尔把一大群飞鱼加以分类。看海猪猎取这些飞鱼,十分准确,再没有更新奇的了。
