Chief among them were specimens² of that dreadful cartilaginous genus that's divided into three subgenera numbering at least thirty-two species:  主要是那种可怕的软骨鱼属中的一些鱼，它们分为三个亚属，一共不下三十二带条纹的鲛鱼，

striped sharks five meters long, the head squat³ and wider than the body, the caudal fin⁴ curved, the back with seven big, black, parallel lines running lengthwise;  五米长，扁扁的头比身躯还大，尾鳍作圆形，背上有七条平行斜下的黑色大带：其次是珠子鲛鱼，灰色，鳃间穿有七个孔，单有一个脊鳍，长在身上中间部份。

then perlon sharks, ash gray, pierced with seven gill openings, furnished with a single dorsal⁵ fin placed almost exactly in the middle of the body. 又有大海狗走过，从前人们曾把它当做贪食凶恶的海鱼。

Some big dogfish also passed by, a voracious⁶ species of shark if there ever was one.  一队一队漂亮的疯魔海猪，整整有好几天陪着我们。

With some justice, fishermen's yarns⁷ aren't to be trusted, but here's what a few of them relate. Inside the corpse⁸ of one of these animals there were found a buffalo⁹ head and a whole calf;  它们五六条一群，像狼在乡间那样。

in another, two tuna and a sailor in uniform; in yet another, a soldier with his saber; in another, finally, a horse with its rider.  它们的身子长三米，上面黑色，下面红白色，带有很罕见的小斑点。

In candor¹⁰, none of these sounds like divinely inspired truth. But the fact remains¹¹ that not a single dogfish let itself get caught in the Nautilus's nets, so I can't vouch¹² for their voracity¹³. 这次鱼类观察终于结束，康塞尔把一大群飞鱼加以分类。看海猪猎取这些飞鱼，十分准确，再没有更新奇的了。
