So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs.

因此，听说北海石油钻井平台上的潜水员受到巨型鱼类的恐吓，确实很让人吃惊。

Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers,who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water,

钻井平台需要经常修理，潜水员常常要在水面100英尺以下摸黑工作，

have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work.

他们曾在工作时被撞到他们身上的大鱼吓得惊惶失措。

Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters.

现在他们有了特制的笼子，用来保护他们免受大鱼的侵袭。

The fish are not sharks or killer whales,

这些鱼并不是鲨鱼或逆戟鲸，

but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes,

而是深受人们喜爱的食用鱼品种，如鳕鱼和鳐鱼，只不过它们长得出奇地大，

sometimes as much as twelve feet in length.

有时长达12英尺。

Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large:

这些因素促使这些鱼可以长得如此巨大：

the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea;

海底热的输油管道附近的温暖的海水；

the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs;

钻井平台工作人员抛到海里充足的食物；

the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs.

钻井平台周围根本没有捕鱼船只。

As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water.

结果是，这些鱼就在可爱的温暖的水流中吃呀吃，长呀长。

究竟谁吃谁呢？

A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby.

一个飞行员发现了一只气球，它像是正飞往附近的一个皇家空军基地。

He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery.

他马上把情况报告了该基地，但那里的人没有一个能解释这到底是怎么回事。

The officer in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news,

控制塔上的官员得知这一消息后，非常气愤，

because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft.

因为气球有可能给飞机造成极大的危险。

He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object.

他说可能有人正对基地进行侦察，因此命令那个飞行员跟踪那个奇怪的飞行物。

The pilot managed to circle the balloon for some time.

飞行员设法绕着气球飞了一阵。

He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of them was holding a pair of binoculars.

他看清了气球下面有3个人呆在一只筐里，其中一个举着望远镜。

When the balloon was over the station, the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs.

当气球飞临基地上空时，飞行员看见有一个人在拍照。

Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield.

不久，气球开始降落，在一个停机坪附近着了陆。

The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone,

警察被召来了，但他们却不能逮捕任何人，

for the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station!

因为筐里是两名国会议员和一名基地的指挥官！

As the Commanding Officer explained later, one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing!

正如指挥官后来解释的那样，基地的这半边不知道那半边正在干什么！

It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.

我回到家时，肯定已是凌晨两点左右了。

I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell,

我按响了门铃，试图唤醒我的妻子，

but she was fast asleep,

但她睡得很熟。

so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall,

于是，我从花园的小棚里搬来了一个梯子，把它靠在墙边，

and began climbing towards the bedroom window.

开始向卧室的窗口爬去。
