Ned Land came into my room one night and woke me up. We were in the North Sea, near the coast of Norway. “Professor, wake up! The boat’s ready. Now is the time!”
一个晚上尼德兰来到我的房间，叫醒我。我们在北海，挪威附近的海岸。”教授，醒醒！船已经准备好了。现在是时候了！”
“Can you see land?”
“你能看到陆地吗？”
“Yes, about twenty miles away. We have to try!”
“是的，大约二十英里远。我们得试试看！”
After the terrible battle with the enemy ship, everything on the Nautilus was quiet. I did not see Captain Nemo or any of his men. We travelled underwater, never coming up except for air. Ned and Conseil stayed in their rooms. We all felt the same, now, the adventure of the Nautilus was not exciting or interesting. It was ugly and deadly. The only thing we wanted was to escape.
与敌船的可怕的战斗后，一切都是静悄悄的鹦鹉螺号。我没有看到尼莫船长或他的任何船员。我们在水下，没有出水面除了更换空气。尼德和康塞尔呆在自己的房间里。我们都一样，现在，鹦鹉螺号的冒险并不有趣。它既丑陋又致命。我们唯一想做的就是逃离。
Captain Nemo was not the man I thought he was. I had respect for him as a scientist, but he murdered those men on the other ship!
尼莫船长不是这样人。我尊敬他作为科学家，但他杀害了敌船上的那些人！
“I agree.”
“我同意。”
“I’ll go up first, Conseil is there. Wait for two minutes, then come up after me. If anyone stops you, kill them.” Ned Land put a fishing knife in my hand and left the room, I looked around one more time. This was my home for nine months. For most of that time I enjoyed it, but now I had to leave.
“我先上，康塞尔在那里。等两分钟，然后跟上来。“如果有人阻止你，杀了他们。”尼德·兰把一把钓鱼刀放在我手里，离开了房间，我又看了看四周。这里是我九个月的家。大部分时间我都很喜欢，但现在我不得不离开。
“I can’t hold it. We’re going to…”
“我拿不住它。我们要去……”
Suddenly, I thought I understood what the men below said in their strange language. The Nautilus was in a whirlpool. The waters off the coast of Norway were famous for this. Boats which sailed into these whirlpools never escaped. “What shall we do, Professor?”
突然，我想我明白了下面的人用他们奇怪的语言说了些什么。鹦鹉螺号是在漩涡里。挪威海岸附近的水域以这个著名。船航行到这些漩涡逃脱不了。”我们该怎么办，教授？”
“Get ready. I’m almost finished.”
“准备好。我快做完了。”
“I don’t know.”
“我不知道。”
I am writing this now some months later: I am safe now. The whirlpool threw our boat away from the Nautilus. Some fishermen found us and took us to the shore.
几个月后我写这封信：我现在安全了。漩涡把我们的扔出了鹦鹉螺号。一些渔民发现了我们，把我们带到岸边。
“What’s happening, sir?”
“发生什么事了，先生？”
I found Ned Land and Conseil in the small boat on the platform. Ned worked quickly to set if free. The Nautilus suddenly began to turn round in circles. The men below began to shout.
我发现尼德·兰和康塞尔在平台上的小船。为了自由尼德快速的行动起来。鹦鹉螺号突然开始打转。下面的人开始喊叫起来。
“Enough. Oh, God, enough!”
“够了。哦，天哪，够了！
Those were Captain Nemo’s last words.
这是尼莫船长的最后一句话。
I heard a loud “snap”. Something hit me on the head and that’s the last thing I remember.
我听到一声响亮的“啪”的一声。有东西打中了我的头，那是我最后记得的事。
As I walked through the museum to the stairs, I heard music coming from Captain Nemo’s library. I listened to him playing the piano, and I thought I heard him say.
当我穿过博物馆来到楼梯上时，我听到了尼莫船长图书馆里传来的音乐声。我听他弹钢琴，我想我听到他说话了。
“Don’t free the boat. We’ll never make it.”
“别放开船。我们永远也做不到。”
I do not know what happened to Captain Nemo and the Nautilus. Maybe he is still alive, living under the sea. All I know is that we travelled 20,000 leagues under the sea, from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic and to the North and South Poles. I saw things that no man from my world will ever see. It was a strange and wonderful adventure; one I will never forget.
我不知道发生了什么事，尼莫船长和鹦鹉螺号。也许他还活着，住在海底。我所知道的是，我们在海上航行了20000里格（1里格约等于 3 英里），从太平洋到印度洋，经过红海和地中海，穿过大西洋，到达北境和南极。我看到了我这个世界上任何人都看不到的东西。这是一次奇妙而奇妙的冒险，我永远不会忘记。
