The sea is of no great depth at the Grand Banks. A few hundred fathoms at best.

紐芬蘭島暗礁脈的海水并不深，至多幾百米。

But to the south there is a deep, suddenly occurring depression, a 3,000-meter pit.

但往南部突然深陷進(jìn)一個深3000米的坑洞。

Here the Gulf Stream widens.

海灣暖流就在這里擴(kuò)展，

Its waters come to full bloom. It loses its speed and temperature, but it turns into a sea.

它的水流失去了原有的速度和溫度，四處擴(kuò)散，形成了一片汪洋。

Among the fish that the Nautilus startled on its way,

“鸚鵡螺號”船只駛過那些搔亂的魚群中時，

I'll mention a one-meter lumpfish, blackish on top with orange on the belly and rare among its brethren in that it practices monogamy,

我記錄下了一種1米長的硬鰭海兔，它們的背部呈淺黑色，腹部桔黃色，它們是同類中對配偶忠實(shí)的模范，但它們樹立的這個榜樣并不太被同類效仿；

a good-sized eelpout, a type of emerald moray whose flavor is excellent,

還有大個子尤內(nèi)納魚，一種翡翠色的海鱔，味道好極了；

wolffish with big eyes in a head somewhat resembling a canine's,

以及大眼睛，頭部有幾分像狗頭的卡拉克魚；

viviparous blennies whose eggs hatch inside their bodies like those of snakes,

像蛇一樣卵生的畸形鯽魚；

bloated gobio (or black gudgeon) measuring two decimeters,

長2分米的黑色蝦虎魚或河沙魚；

grenadiers with long tails and gleaming with a silvery glow, speedy fish venturing far from their High Arctic seas.

長尾巴，閃著銀光的長尾魚，這是一種游動速度很快的魚，它們敢跑到很北的海域里冒險(xiǎn)。

Our nets also hauled in a bold, daring, vigorous, and muscular fish armed with prickles on its head and stings on its fins,

船上的漁網(wǎng)也拖上來了一種大膽、冒失、強(qiáng)壯、多肉的魚，這種魚頭上有針，鰭上長刺，

a real scorpion measuring two to three meters, the ruthless enemy of cod, blennies, and salmon;

活像2至3米長的真蝎子，是畸形鯽魚、鱈魚和鮭魚的天敵；

it was the bullhead of the northerly seas, a fish with red fins and a brown body covered with nodules.

它就是北方海水中的杜父魚，身上長著瘤，呈褐色，鰭紅。
