[J-67]   The Enormous Catfish

        巨大的鲶鱼 

 

   A fisherman said he had landed an enormous catfish.  “To give you an idea,” he related, “it took a power winch to land it and a crane to get it up on the beach.  There weren't any scales around large enough to weigh the fish so I got my little Brownie camera out and photographed it as a matter of record.”

 

   “The picture,” he concluded, “weighed 11 pounds.” 

 

[译注]

 

    某渔夫说他把一条巨大的鲶鱼弄上了岸。 「给你们一点观念好了,」他叙述说,「它要电动绞盘才能弄上岸,要起重机才能在海滩上把它吊起。附近找不到足够大的磅秤来秤那条鱼,所以我就拿我那小小的布朗尼照相机而把它拍下来当成纪录那回事。」

 

    「那照片,」他下结论,「重有十一磅。」 

 

注: land (弄上岸), enormous (巨大的), power winch (电动绞盘), crane (起重机), scale (磅秤), around (在附近)。
