"Fancy," I echo, dreamily. "How many fishes? " persists Halicarnassus. "Fishes?" says the echo. "Yes, fishes," repeats Halicarnassus, in a louder tone. "Yes, it must have been the fishes," murmurs the echo. "Goodness gracious me!" ejaculates Halicarnassus, with the voice of a giant; "how many fishes have you caught?"
"Oh! yes," waking up and hastening to appease his wrath; "eight,--chiefly cod."
Indignation chokes his speech.英文原著 · 《Gala-Days》
The fish hung circled for a moment, ringed And bright; then flung itself out, a thin blade Of spotted lightning, and its tail was winged With chipped and sparkled sunshine. And the shade Broke up and splintered into shafts of light Wheeling about the fish, who churned the air And made the fish-line hum, and bent the rod Almost to snapping. Care The young man took against the twigs, with slight, Deft movements he kept fish and line in tight Obedience to his will with every prod.英文原著 · 《Men, Women and Ghosts》
She went up to the pan, to the great astonishment of the cook, who stood motionless at the sight of her. She struck one of the fish with her rod, "Fish, fish," said she, "are you doing your duty?" The fish answered nothing, and then she repeated her question, whereupon they all raised their heads together and answered very distinctly, "Yes, yes. If you reckon, we reckon. If you pay your debts, we pay ours. If you fly, we conquer, and we are content."英文原著 · 《The Arabian Nights》
Then he shut himself up with the grand-vizir, who began to prepare them and cook them. When they were done on one side he turned them over on the other. Then the wall of the room opened, but instead of the maiden a black slave came out. He was enormously tall, and carried a large green stick with which he touched the fish, saying in a terrible voice, "Fish, fish, are you doing your duty?" To these words the fish lifting up their heads replied, "Yes, yes. If you reckon, we reckon. If you pay your debts, we pay ours. If you fly, we conquer, and are content."英文原著 · 《The Arabian Nights》
``Darcy''--this to the butler--``tell the chef that this fish is the best yet--really exquisite.'' To Presbury: ``I had it brought over from France--alive, of course. We have many excellent fish, but I like a change now and then. So I have a standing order with Prunier--he's the big oyster- and fish-man of Paris-- to send me over some things every two weeks by special express. That way, an oyster costs about fifty cents and a fish about five or six dollars.''英文原著 · 《The Price She Paid》
The 1st of September at ten o'clock we set sail, and coasted the shore with very fair weather. The third day being calm, at noon we struck sail, and let fall a cadge anchor to prove whether we could take any fish, being in latitude 54 degrees 30 minutes, in which place we found great abundance of cod, so that the hook was no sooner overboard but presently a fish was taken. It was the largest and best refet fish that ever I saw, and divers fishermen that were with me said that they never saw a more suaule, or better skull of fish in their lives, yet had they seen great abundance.英文原著 · 《Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage》
