Read the story <Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea>. Tanslate the sentence in RED to GET YOUE SCORE.

During the year of 1866, the world was shocked to hear stories of a sea monster attacking several ships that passed through the oceans. The governments of many countries were quite interested in the matter. The monster was said to be much larger than a whale. Most agreed that the monster's shape was similar to that of a whale, however. Some declared the mysterious animal to be nearly two hundred feet long; others swore the monster was more than a mile long.

1866年，海洋中多艘过往船只遭到海怪袭击，消息一传开，举世震惊。多国政府均对此表示极大的兴趣。据说海怪比鲸鱼还大得多。然而，绝大多数目击者均认为海怪同鲸鱼的样子很像。一些人声称这头神秘的动物有大约两百英尺长，则其他人发誓说怪兽长度超过一英里。

On the 20th of July 1866, a great ship was leaving India for Australia when it was hit by the mysterious animal, and sunk into the ocean, only five miles off the east coast of Australia. Just three days later, in the Pacific Ocean, the sea animal attacked another ship.
