“A tunnel!”
“隧道！”
‘But we can go under it. Watch!”
但是我们可以从下面穿过去。看！”
I could not think only of myself. Conseil loved the sea, but I did not think he wanted to live his life there. Ned Land could not escape without our help.
我不能只想到我自己。康塞尔喜欢大海，但我不认为他想一辈子待在这。尼德·兰没有我们的帮助逃跑不了。
When Conseil and Ned woke up, I told them that we were in the Mediterranean Sea.
当康塞尔和尼德醒来的时候，我告诉他们，我们在地中海。
Captain Nemo took us north, through the Indian Ocean, to the Red Sea. But the Red Sea had no exit. As we got closer to Egypt, I went upstairs to the glass room at the top of the ship. It was dark outside. We were a long way under the sea. Captain Nemo turned on the outside lights.
尼莫船长带我们北上，穿过印度洋，到达红海。但是红海没有出口。当我们走近埃及时，我去了船顶的玻璃房。外面很黑。我们在海低行驶了很长的距离。尼莫船长打开外面的灯。
The Nautilus shook as we went through the small tunnel. It looked like an old cave. Then, water surrounded the ship and there was no more land.
当我们穿过小隧道时鹦鹉螺号震动。它看起来像一个老洞。然后，水包围了船，再也没有陆地了。
“I don’t understand, Captain. There is no exit here. We cannot go through the land.”
“我不明白，船长。这里没有出口。我们不能通过这陆地。”
We moved down below the country of Egypt. Suddenly, I saw a large hole in the rock.
我们在埃及下面。突然，我看到一个大的石中洞。
“That’s right, Professor. And we are going through.”
“是的，教授。我们正在穿过。”
“But how?”
“但怎么说？”
“Who cares how? Now’s our chance. When we go up again, we’re going to escape. We’re close to Europe, and we can take the small boat to get to land. Do you agree?”
“谁在乎呢？现在是我们的机会。当我们再升上去时，我们就逃跑。我们离欧洲很近，我们可以乘小船去陆地。你同意吗？”
“What is it?”
“这是什么？”
“I have a little surprise for you, Professor.”
“我对你有一点惊讶，教授。”
We sailed through the Mediterranean Sea and entered the deep mysterious Atlantic Ocean. The ocean became dark, and we continued to go further and further down. Captain Nemo came into the museum as I studied the ocean floor.
我们航行穿过地中海，进入深神秘的大西洋。海洋变黑了，我们继续走得越来越远。当我研究洋底时，尼莫船长走进了博物馆。
But the Nautilus did not go near the surface of the water again for some time. In fact, we went further down. Ned Land stayed in his room. I felt sorry for him, but I loved the sea. For many hours, I stood in front of the window in the museum.
但鹦鹉螺号有一段时间没有靠近水面。事实上，我们又进一步下降。尼德·兰留在他的房间里。我为他感到遗憾，但我喜欢大海。我在博物馆的橱窗前站了好几个小时。
We came closer to the light, and I could see trees on the ocean floor.
我们走近了光线，我能看到洋底的树木。
“That’s not possible!”
“真是不可思议！”
“I agree. Only tell me when you are ready.”
“我同意。你准备好了就告诉我。”
“Just watch!”
“看着！”
The light showed us part of the ocean floor. There were stone houses and ancient temples on it. I did not understand how such things could be there.
这光线向我们展示了海底的一部分。上面有石屋和古庙。我不明白怎么会有这样的事。
As he said this, a bright light appeared from behind the mountain of rocks in front of us.
他说的时候，在我们前面的岩石山后面出现了一道亮光。
The Nautilus moved up over the mountain, and I saw that the light came from an old underwater volcano. There was no fire, but the hot lava still produced light.
鹦鹉螺号从山上通过，我看见光来自一个古老的海底火山。没有火，但是炽热的熔岩仍然发出光。
“It looks like a city from thousands of years ago.”
“它看起来像从几千年前的一个城市。”
I looked up at Captain Nemo. He never took his eyes off the window. I looked down again. So it was true, I thought. Atlantis did exist, but only Captain Nemo knew for sure.
我抬头看了看尼莫船长。他目不转睛地看着窗外。我再往下看。我想这是真的。亚特兰蒂斯确实存在，但只有尼莫船长知道。
“It is. It’s the lost city of Atlantis!”
“这是。这是失落的城市亚特兰蒂斯！”
