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.

渔民和水手有时说自己见过海怪。人们虽然常拿这些故事当笑话，如今却已知道，许多被看见的“怪物”，其实只是形状奇特的鱼。 偶尔有奇怪生物被冲上岸，但在海里活捉到的很少。不过，不久前，马达加斯加附近就捕到了一条怪鱼。 这条力气极大的鱼拽着钓线，把一艘小渔船拖到几英里外的海上。渔民意识到它非同寻常，便竭尽全力，尽量不伤到它。 鱼终于被拖上岸，人们发现它长达十三英尺多。它的头像马，有一双蓝色大眼睛，身上泛着银光，尾巴则是鲜红的。 这条鱼叫皇带鱼，后来被送到博物馆，由一位科学家进行研究。 它们生活在六百英尺深的海里，所以人类很少看见活着的皇带鱼。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《海怪还是大鱼？》：海怪可能只是怪鱼 → 少见的海上捕获 → 鱼拉着小船远行 → 上岸后看清外形 → 送到博物馆研究 → 住得深，所以难见活体。再借一个结构讲自己的事：把本课一个被动句改成有明确执行者的主动句，比较关注点有什么变化。
