I think I'll try the broiled sole.

我想尝尝烤鲽鱼。

Then you will be pleased to see how the plaice swims.

到时候, 就会看到欧鲽鱼那令人发笑的泳姿。

Have you ever eaten the plaice?

有没有吃过欧鲽鱼?

The plaice spawns or lays its thousands of little eggs in the sea water in the month of March.

三月, 欧鲽鱼就会在海水中产卵。

They get a great fright when they feel the fish moving away from under their feet.

当欧鲽鱼从孩子们的脚底溜走时, 他们肯定会吓得不轻。

Its flesh is not so good as that of the sole, being soft and watery.

鳎鱼相比, 欧鲽鱼肉质并没有那么鲜美, 质地比较软, 水分也多。

It is very hard to see the plaice as it lies on the sand or mud with its dark and spotted side upwards.

我们很难看到欧鲽鱼的身影, 因为它总是躺在沙地或淤泥之中, 将带有斑点的深色一面朝上。

Plaice feed chiefly at night, when they swim about near the bottom of the shallow bays in which they live, devouring any shell-fish or star-fish that they may find.

欧鲽鱼生活在浅湾的水底, 到了夜间, 它们会四处觅食, 将能够找到的贝类或海星全部一吞而下。

He ate the starfish and the garfish, and the crab and the dab, and the plaice and the dace, and the skate and his mate, and the mackereel and the pickereel, and the really truly twirly-whirly eel.

他吃了海星和长嘴鱼、螃蟹和鲽鱼、鲽鱼和鲮鱼、鳐鱼和他的伴侣、鲭鱼和梭梭鱼， 还有那条真正扭来扭去的鳗鱼。

Perhaps the lesser number of teeth in the proportion of four to seven in the upper halves of the two jaws of the plaice, to twenty-five to thirty in the lower halves, may likewise be accounted for by disuse.

。 鲽鱼两颚上半部的牙齿数量较少， 为 4 到 7 颗，而下半部的牙齿数量为 25 到 30 颗， 同样可以用废弃来解释。
