Lesson 82

Monster or fish?
是妖还是鱼？

First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What was the monster called?

Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea.
渔夫和水手们有时声称自己看到过海里的妖怪。

Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen,
虽然人们常常对水手们讲的故事付诸一笑，

it is now known that many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish.
但现在看来，人们有时看到的这些“妖怪”很多不过是些奇怪的鱼。

Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea.
一些异常的生物偶尔会被冲到岸上来，但它们在海上却极少能被捕到。

Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar.
然而不久前，在马达加斯加附近的海里却捕到了一条奇怪的鱼。

A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line.
一条小渔船被一条咬住钩的强壮的大鱼拖到了几英里以外的海面上。

Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way.
那位渔民意识到这根本不是一条普通的鱼，于是千方百计不让它受到丝毫伤害。

When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long.
当终于把它弄上岸后，人们发现它身长超过了13英尺。

It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail.
它长着一个像马一样的头，有着大的蓝眼睛和闪闪发光的银色皮肤，还有一条鲜红色的尾巴。

The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish.
此鱼叫桨鱼，被送进了博物馆，现正接受一位科学家的检查。

Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.
人们很少能看到活着的这类动物，因为它们生活在600英尺深的水下。

语法练习

grammar 

本课主要是复习第10课、第34课和第58课所学的被动语态的用法，其基本结构为：

受动者 + be done by + 施动者

（一）第10课

本课侧重学习的是被动语态的不同时态变化，如：

1、现在进行时

Homework is being done by him now.

2、一般现在时

Homework is done by him every day.

3、一般过去时

Homework was done by him last night.

4、现在完成时

Homework has been done by him already.

5、过去进行时

Homework was being done by him this time yesterday.

6、一般将来时

Homework will be done by him tomorrow.

7、过去将来时

He said that homework would be done by him tomorrow.

8、将来进行时

Homework will be being done by him this time tomorrow.

9、将来完成时

Homework will have been done by him by the end of next week.

（二）第34课

本课侧重学习的是“动词+宾补结构”的被动语态的用法，其基本结构为：

受动者 + be done to do + by + 施动者

如：

They asked me to make a speech.

I was asked to make a speech (by them).

再比如：

He told me to wait for her.

I was told to wait for her (by him).

（三）第58课

本课侧重学习的是双宾动词的被动语态，以及be done to do与be done that的用法。

1、双宾动词的被动语态

双宾动词因为有两个宾语，所以它就有两个受动者，也因此有两种被动语态的用法，如：

She gave me a pen just now.

I was given a pen by her just now.

A pen was given to me by her just now.

【注意】

当表物的直接宾语作为受动者时，要在表人的间接宾语前加上to。

2、be done to do与be done that

英语中有一类动词表示“说；报道；谣传”等，可能会有两种被动结构的用法。如：

People say that he is a genius.

It is said that he is a genius.

He is said to be a genius.

再比如：

People rumours that she has married a fool.

It is rumoured that she has married a fool.

She is rumoured to have married a fool.
