Lesson 90 What's for supper? 晚餐吃什么？

Fish and chips has always been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans have been overfished, fish has become more and more expensive. So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs. Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work. Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters. The fish are not sharks or killer whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?

有三个原因导致这些鱼长得这么大：在钻井台下输油管道附近的海水都是温暖的；钻井台上的工作人员抛到海里充足的食物；钻井台的四周没有捕鱼的船只。

最终造成的结果就是这些鱼在这般溫暖的水里不停地吃呀吃，长呀长。
