今天我們接著來看第82課的“每課一句”。
一、課文原文
Lesson 82 Monster or fish?
Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.

二、每課一句
Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish.
注意這句話的結(jié)構(gòu)相對繁雜，句子中包含了幾個從句。
第1個從句是由though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，該從句到逗號結(jié)束。但其實(shí)在這個從句中，又包含了一個從屬成分“told by seamen”，這其實(shí)是一個由定語從句改變而來的，其完整原形應(yīng)該是：
that / which are told by seamen
that / which are told by seamen
第2個從句是由that引導(dǎo)的主語從句，該從句就到句末結(jié)束。但是，在這個that從句中又包含了一個由which引導(dǎo)的定語從句，該定語從句到sighted結(jié)束，即：
which have at times been sighted
which have at times been sighted
也就是說，that從句的主干成分其實(shí)是：
many of these 'monsters' are simply strange fish
many of these 'monsters' are simply strange fish
如果忽略though和which引導(dǎo)的從句的話，整個句子剩余的就是這個句子的主干成分，即：
it is now known that many of these 'monsters' are simply strange fish
it is now known that many of these 'monsters' are simply strange fish
也就是說，整句話其實(shí)主要想表達(dá)的是：
現(xiàn)在看來，這些“妖怪”很多其實(shí)僅僅是些奇怪的魚而已。 ?
現(xiàn)在看來，這些“妖怪”很多其實(shí)僅僅是些奇怪的魚而已。 ?
三、更多拓展
Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way.
注意句中的no ordinary fish是“no + 名詞”的用法，注意這種結(jié)構(gòu)與“not + a / an / any + 名詞”的用法差別。
"no + 名詞"往往帶有感情色彩，如果用在表職業(yè)或人物的名詞前時，常伴有貶損色彩。而“not + a / an / any + 名詞”往往只是表達(dá)否定概念。
試比較：
He is no doctor at all. 他一點(diǎn)也不懂醫(yī)道?
He is not a doctor. 他不是醫(yī)生? (可能是老師或律師等)
He is no doctor at all. 他一點(diǎn)也不懂醫(yī)道?
He is not a doctor. 他不是醫(yī)生? (可能是老師或律師等)
再比如：
He is no artist. 他不懂藝術(shù)? (根本算不上藝術(shù)家)
He is not an artist. 他不是藝術(shù)家? (可能是個科學(xué)家)
He is no artist. 他不懂藝術(shù)? (根本算不上藝術(shù)家)
He is not an artist. 他不是藝術(shù)家? (可能是個科學(xué)家)
所以，課文中采用了“no ordinary fish”的用法，就是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)這條魚非同一般。
