The Nautilus travelled underwater watching the mysteries of the ocean.
在鹦鹉螺号里看海低的奥秘。
“I want to talk about our escape.”
“我想谈谈我们逃跑。”
We travelled near the coasts of Australia and Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed seeing all the strange sea life of these waters. I had enough information to write a new book.
我们在澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚海岸附近旅行。我喜欢看到所有这些水域奇怪的海洋生物。我有足够的信息来写一本新书。
The Captain and his crew were excellent hosts. They gave us wonderful sea food and we were free to visit any place we liked on the ship.
船长和他的船员们是优秀的主人。他们给我们美妙的海鲜，我们可以自由地参观船上任何我们喜欢的地方。
But Ned Land was not happy on the Nautilus. He was a whale hunter and his life was above the water, hunting whales. One morning, he asked Conseil and me to go to his room to talk.
但尼德·兰在鹦鹉螺号里并不快乐。他是一个捕鲸者，他的生命是在水面上捕鲸。一天早上，他叫我和康塞尔去他的房间聊天。
Ned Land had no time to answer this question. There was a loud crash, and we all fell to the floor. The lights went on and off, and the engine stopped.
尼德·兰没有时间回答这个问题。一声巨响，我们都倒在地板上。灯开了，发动机停了。
“Our escape? We are underwater! How can we escape?” “Not now. This ship goes above water every two days to fill it with clean air. When we re near land, we have to try to escape.”
“我们逃走？我们在水下啊！我们怎么能逃脱呢？”不是现在。这艘船每两天上一次水面，在水面充满干净的空气。当我们靠近陆地，我们必须设法逃脱。”
“I know that, Professor. We’ll wait. When we get close to a country we know, we’ll try to escape.”
“我知道，教授。我们将等待。当我们接近一个我们知道的国家，我们会设法逃跑。”
“But how will we leave the Nautilus?”
“但是我们如何离开鹦鹉螺号？”
“The waters we are in now are full of sharks, Mr Land.”
“我们现在的水域充满了鲨鱼，兰先生。”
We were very close to Papua. I could see it from the ship. Ned Land asked the Captain if we could go on land and hunt some animals because he didn’t want to eat fish. Captain Nemo let the three of us go. This didn’t surprise me at all. There were only cannibals on Papua. We couldn’t escape because they would kill us.
我们离巴布亚很近。我可以从船上看到它。尼德问船长，如果我们不想吃鱼的话，我们可以到陆地上去打猎吗？。尼莫船长让我们三个去。这并不让我惊讶。那只有巴布亚食人族。我们逃跑不了，因为他们会杀了我们。
“The sea brought us here, the sea will take us away.”
“大海把我们带到这里，大海会把我们带走。”
There was a small boat on the Nautilus which we used to get to land. Captain Nemo gave us gnus, and we were all excited to return to land and feel free again.
鹦鹉螺号上有一艘小船，我们可以用来逃到陆地上。尼莫船长给了我们枪，我们都很高兴，回到陆地，重获自由。
The beach of Papua was beautiful. It had soft white sand and 200 — foot-tall palm trees. We found bananas and coconuts, and we made a small camping area for the day. Some wild animals came out of the forest and ran away. Conseil was at first frightened.
巴布亚的海滩很美。它有柔软的白沙和200英尺高的棕榈树。我们发现了香蕉和椰子，我们为今天建立了一个小露营区。一些野生动物从森林里逃了出来。康塞尔先是吓了一跳。
The top of the Nautilus was just above the surface of the water. I saw Captain Nemo on the platform outside the ship. The ship was between two large rocks, unable to move. We had to wait six days for the water to rise before the ship could leave. The Captain didn’t seem at all worried.
鹦鹉螺号的顶部在水面以上。我看见在船的外面的平台尼莫船长。船在两大岩石之间，无法移动。我们得等六天才能把水升起来，才能让船离开。船长似乎一点也不担心。
“Captain, there are cannibals outside the Nautilus.”
“船长，鹦鹉螺号外面有食人族。”
“I think I was hit by a rock.”
“我想我被一块石头击中。”
We all laughed, then continued looking for fruit and vegetables. We walked through the tropical forest. We were so excited by this new adventure that we forgot where we were walking. We were far from the beach. I felt something small hit my head.
我们都笑了，然后继续寻找水果和蔬菜。我们穿过热带雨林。我们对这次新的冒险非常兴奋，以至于忘了自己走到哪里了。我们离海滩很远。我觉得小东西打到了我的头。
“The sea, Professor, and music make me feel very peaceful.”
“大海，教授和音乐让我感到很平静。”
“A rock?”
“一块石头？”
There were cannibals everywhere. We ran back to the beach. They followed us. They carried spears and shouted in a strange language. We jumped into the boat, leaving all our food and guns behind. They got into the water after us. Some of them came in their own boats. They threw spears at us, but they all missed. We jumped back on the Nautilus and went below.
那里到处都是食人族。我们跑回海滩。他们跟着我们。他们使用长矛和说一个陌生的方言。我们丢下食物和枪跳进船里。他们也跟着跳进水里。他们有些人上了自己的船。他们把长矛扔向我们，但都没命中。我们回到鹦鹉螺号向水下去了。
“Don’t worry, Conseil. It’s not yet lunchtime.”
“别担心，康塞尔。还没到午餐时间呢。”
Suddenly, we saw others moving through the forest.
突然，我们看到有人穿过森林。
I found Captain Nemo in a small room next to the museum. He was playing the piano.
我发现尼莫船长在一个小房间旁边的博物馆。他在弹钢琴。
“Professor, sir, we’re not alone.”
“教授先生，我们并不孤单。”
“There’s another!”
“还有一个！”
“I thought they were the cannibals.”
无“我认为他们是食人族。”
“Captain, did you hear me?”
“船长，你听见我说的了吗？”
The Captain left the piano and went out of the room. He and some of his men went up and opened the outside door of the Nautilus. Several cannibals looked down inside. One tried to get in, but when his hand touched the ship, he screamed. Another tried the same thing, and he also screamed. Soon, all of them swam away.
船长离开了钢琴，走出了房间。他和他的一些人上去，打开N鹦鹉螺号的外门。几个食人族望向里面。有人试图进去，但当他的手碰到船时，他尖叫起来。其他人也尝试了同样的举动，他也尖叫了起来。不久，所有的人都游走了。
“I did, and there is no reason to worry. The Nautilus is perfectly safe from those outside it.”
“我听到了，不必担心。鹦鹉螺号里是绝对安全的。”
“You see, Professor. There is electricity around that door. Anyone who touches it feels great pain.”
“你看，教授。门周围有电。任何接触它的人都会感到极大的痛苦。”
I felt terrified. The Captain had everything he needed lo protect himself and his men. He also had everything he needed to keep us prisoners.
我感到害怕。船长拥有他所需要的一切来保护自己和他的部下。他也有他需要的一切困住我们这些囚犯。
