Lesson 82 文本  Monster or fish?  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. 文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. claim（1）vt. , vi.（对……）提出要求，认领，索取：Has anyone claimed the child/wallet?有人来认领这孩子/钱包了吗？（2）vt. 声称，断言：They claim to have seen monsters in the sea.他们声称看到过海里的妖怪。He claimed that Tom had stolen his wallet.他断言汤姆偷了他的钱包。 2. wash与wash up（1）wash指“洗”、“洗涤”：I must get up and wash.我必须起床洗脸。She has washed all those clothes.她把那些衣服都洗了。Sally can almost wash herself now.萨莉现在几乎能给自己洗澡了。（wash oneself指洗澡）wash也可以指“冲走”、“卷走”：Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore.一些异常的生物偶尔会被冲到岸上来。The little wooden house was washed away by the floods.那个小木屋被洪水冲走了。（2）wash up在英国英语中指“洗餐具”：When you phoned, she was busy washing up (the dishes).你打电话时她正忙着洗盘子。wash up也可以指“把……冲上岸”：The dead body of a huge fish has been washed up on the shore.一条巨大的死鱼被冲上了岸。 二）课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.
