场景：小华在手机上阅览新闻，被智利渔民捕到的一条巨型带鱼所吸引。

Xiaohua：Geeze, Xiaohong, a video on social network TikTok of a giant fish gained about 10 million likes.

小华：天啊~ 小红，抖音上一条硕大的鱼获得了1000万个点赞。

Xiaohong：The giant fish?

小红：大鱼？

Xiaohua：Yes. This incredibly long fish was caught by Chilean fishermen off the coast of Chile.

小华：嗯，这条超级长的鱼是智利渔民在智利海岸捕获到的。

Xiaohong：How long was the fish?

小红：有多长啊？

Xiaohua：The fish measures about 16 feet (5 meters) long.

小华：这得有16英尺（5米）长。

Xiaohong：That's way too big! The body of the flat flat fish was too shocking to compare with adults.

小红：太大了吧。这条带鱼太令人震惊，无法与成年鱼相提并论。

Xiaohua：Yes. So the fishermen needed to use a crane to hoist ashore.

小华：嗯，所以这些渔民需要用起重机把它吊上岸。

Xiaohong：Do you know the name of the fish?

小红：你知道这鱼叫什么名字吗？

Xiaohua：I have read many articles about its name. It can be kingfish, strap fish, oar fish, Herring King, King of Herrings, royal belt fish, ribbonfish.

小华：关于它的名字，我读了不少文章。可以是王鱼，带鱼，皇带鱼（桨鱼），鲱鱼王，“鲱鱼之王”，皇带鱼，带鱼。

Xiaohong：I think “belt fish” is easy to remember, right? It's the equivalent of Chinese "Dai Yu".

小红：我觉得belt fish最好记，对吧？（因为）它相当于中文“带鱼”。

Xiaohua：I was wondering how they caught the mythical deepwater sea creature.

小华：我在想他们是怎么抓到那个神秘的深海生物的。

Xiaohong：Kingfish are deep-sea species, generally do not appear in shallow seas, but can be injured, or sick due to attack by other predators, and may appear in shallow seas during the breeding period, so that giant fish with slow swimming speeds are easily trapped by fishing nets and caught by fishermen.

小红：王鱼属于深海鱼种，一般不会出现在浅海，但会因为其他捕食者的攻击而受伤、生病，在繁殖期也可能出现在浅海，所以游动速度较慢的巨型鱼很容易被渔网捕获，被渔民捕获。

Xiaohua：Well, it was considered a harbinger of disaster.

小华：呃，它被认为是灾难的预兆。
