海底兩萬(wàn)里 第198期 第14章 黑潮暖流(12)

　　Our wonderment stayed at an all-time fever pitch. Our exclamations were endless.

　　我們的贊美一直是最高度的。我們不斷地發(fā)出驚嘆聲。

　　Ned identified the fish, Conseil classified them, and as for me, I was in ecstasy over the verve of their movements and the beauty of their forms.

　　尼德·蘭說(shuō)出魚(yú)的名字，康塞爾加以分類(lèi);我就在這些魚(yú)類(lèi)偽活潑姿態(tài)和美麗的外形面前，感到極大的喜悅，

　　Never before had I been given the chance to glimpse these animals alive and at large in their native element.

　　我從沒(méi)有像現(xiàn)在這樣的機(jī)會(huì)，可以任意觀看這些動(dòng)物，活生生的，自由自在的，在它們本來(lái)生長(zhǎng)的海水中游來(lái)游去。

　　Given such a complete collection from the seas of Japan and China, I won't mention every variety that passed before our dazzled eyes.

　　在我昏花的眼面前游過(guò)的各種類(lèi)型的水族，簡(jiǎn)直就是日本海和中國(guó)海的全部標(biāo)本，我對(duì)它們實(shí)在不能一一列舉出來(lái)。

　　More numerous than birds in the air, these fish raced right up to us, no doubt attracted by the brilliant glow of our electric beacon.

　　這些魚(yú)比空中的鳥(niǎo)還多，可能是受電光的吸引，全部向船邊跑過(guò)來(lái)了。

　　Suddenly daylight appeared in the lounge. The sheet-iron panels slid shut.

　　客廳中突然明亮。船邊蓋板閉起來(lái)。

　　The magical vision disappeared. But for a good while I kept dreaming away, until the moment my eyes focused on the instruments hanging on the wall.

　　使人神迷的光景隱沒(méi)不見(jiàn)了?？墒俏液芫眠€似做夢(mèng)般地想著，一直到我的眼光注意到那些掛在墻板上的機(jī)械為止。

　　The compass still showed our heading as east-northeast, the pressure gauge indicated a pressure of five atmospheres (corresponding to a depth of fifty meters), and the electric log gave our speed as fifteen miles per hour.

　　羅盤(pán)仍是指著東北偏東方，氣壓表正指五氣壓，表示船在五十米的深處，電力測(cè)程器讓我們知道船行是每小時(shí)十五海里。

　　I waited for Captain Nemo. But he didn't appear. The clock marked the hour of five.

　　我等著尼摩船長(zhǎng)，但他不出來(lái)。大鐘正指五點(diǎn)。

　　Ned Land and Conseil returned to their cabin.

　　尼德·蘭和康塞爾回到他們的艙房。

　　As for me, I repaired to my stateroom. There I found dinner ready for me.

　　我也走進(jìn)我的房間。晚餐早在房中擺好了：

　　It consisted of turtle soup made from the daintiest hawksbill, a red mullet with white, slightly flaky flesh, whose liver, when separately prepared, makes delicious eating, plus loin of imperial angelfish, whose flavor struck me as even better than salmon.

　　其中有最美味的海鱉做的湯，一盤(pán)切成薄片的海誹鯉魚(yú)的白肉，鯉魚(yú)肝另做，非?？煽?，一盤(pán)金綢魚(yú)的內(nèi)片，我覺(jué)得味道比鮭魚(yú)肉還好。

　　I spent the evening in reading, writing, and thinking. Then drowsiness overtook me, I stretched out on my eelgrass mattress, and I fell into a deep slumber, while the Nautilus glided through the swiftly flowing Black Current.

　　我夜間看書(shū)，寫(xiě)筆記，思考問(wèn)題。一會(huì)兒瞌睡來(lái)了，我就躺在海藻葉制的床上，酣美地人睡，這個(gè)時(shí)候，諾第留斯號(hào)正很快地穿過(guò)黑潮暖流，迅速地駛?cè)ァ?/p>
