Lesson 90 What's for supper?
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?

练习感悟:
今天的文章从句很多,句型比较复杂,用了2.5小时才读顺了。感觉句型复杂以后文章更难读了,而且上气不接下气,再加上生词,容易顾此失彼。需要更多练习。今天也有一些词在英音和美音之间有区别,比如,terrifying的第一个i,在英音里读 [ ɪ ],在美音里读 [ ə ]。这些区别要多读多积累。
