Might I hope to be saved? The darkness was intense. I saw a blac
3、k mass disappearing in the east. It was the boat! I was lost.撞击实在是太猛烈了，我不清楚自己是怎么从船上摔下来的。我会被救起吗？夜色沉黑，我仿佛看到一大块黑东西在东方渐渐消失了。那是我们的船！我被丢下了。“Help, help!” I shouted, swimming towards the boat in desperation. I was sinking! I couldnt breathe! “Help!” My mouth filled with water; I struggled against being draw
4、n deeper, deeper down. Suddenly I felt myself quickly drawn up to the surface of the sea; and I heard these words: “If master would be so good as to hold onto my shoulder, master would swim with much greater ease.” I grabbed my faithful Conseils arm with one hand.“救命啊，救命啊!”我大喊着，绝望地朝船游去。我要沉下去了！透不过气了！
5、“救命啊！”海水灌进嘴里，我挣扎着不被淹没。突然，我感觉自己被快速地拉出水面，我听见有人说:“如果主人能抓牢我的肩膀，主人会游得轻松很多。”我用一只手抓住忠仆康塞尔的胳膊。“Is it you?” said I.“是你吗？”我问。“Myself,” answered Conseil.“正是我。”康塞尔回答。“That crash threw you as well as me into the sea?”“也是因为刚才的撞击掉下来的？”“No; but, being in my masters service, I followed him.”“不是。为了服侍先生，我就跟着下来了。”Conse
6、il was cool and calm. Nevertheless, our situation was no less terrible. Near one oclock in the morning, I suddenly felt terribly tired. Conseil had to keep me up, and our preservation depended on him alone. “Leave me! Leave me!” I said to him.康赛尔很冷静。不过，我们的处境仍旧很糟糕。将近凌晨一点，我突然感到极度疲惫。康塞尔不得不托着我，保全我们两个人生命
7、的重担全落在他一人身上。“放开我吧！别管我了！”我对他说。“Never!” replied he. “I would drown first.”“不行！要沉下去也是我先沉。”他答道。“Help! Help!” cried Conseil. It seemed to me as if a cry answered him. There was no mistake! A human voice responded to ours! Then, I know not why, the thought of the strange, terrible animal came into my head
8、 for the first time! But that voice! I had almost no strength left; my fingers could hardly move; my mouth, opening and closing, filled with salt water. I became colder and colder. I raised my head for the last time, then I sank.“救命啊！救命啊！”康塞尔喊道。我似乎隐约听到有人回应。没错！是有个人在回应！然后，不知道为什么我第一次想到那个奇怪的、可怕的动物！可是那人声
9、不假！我的力气已经消耗殆尽，手指变得僵硬；我的嘴一张一合，灌满了又咸又苦的海水，我越来越冷。我最后一次抬起头来，之后便沉了下去。At this moment a hard body struck me. I held onto it; then I felt that I was being drawn up, that I was brought to the surface of the water, that my chest collapsedmy eyes closed, unconscious. I soon woke up, and half opened my eyes. I
10、saw a face which I immediately recognised. “Ned!” I cried.就在这时，一个坚硬的东西撞了我一下。我紧紧地抓住了它；接着，我觉得有人往上拉我，把我拉出了水面，我的胸部不胀了眼睛紧闭，失去了知觉。我很快就苏醒过来，半睁开眼睛，看到一张面孔立马就认了出来。“奈德！”我喊道。“The same, sir!” replied the Canadian.“正是我，先生！”加拿大人答道。“Were you thrown into the sea when the boat crashed?”“你也是撞击时坠入海里的吗？”“Yes, Professor,
11、 but more fortunate than you, I was able to find safety almost immediately upon this island in the sea. Or, more correctly speaking, on this large whale. Only I soon found out why my weapon had not entered its skin, but bounced of.”“是的，教授，但情形比您好一些，落水后不久就脱险了，遇到了海里的这个小岛。或者更准确地说，是在这条大鲸鱼身上。不过，我很快就明白了，为什

The black back that supported me was smooth, polished, nothing like an animal. The blow produced a sound o
13、f metal; and, incredible though it may be, it seemed as if it was made of metal plates. This monster was a human construction. We were lying upon the back of a sort of underwater boat. I searched all over the outside for an opening, a hole, but found nothing. At last this long night passed. Daybreak
14、 appeared. Suddenly a noise came from inside the boat. One iron plate was moved, a man appeared, uttered an odd cry, and disappeared immediately. Some moments after, eight strong men, their faces covered, appeared noiselessly, and drew us down into their incredible machine.“因为这个生物是钢铁做的。”我迅速地爬到了它的上面，踢了一脚。显然，这是一个坚硬、结实的物体。在我脚下黑色的背脊精光溜滑，一点也不像动物。撞击时，这东西发出金属的声音；虽然听起来不可思议，但它似乎就像用铁板做成的。这个怪物是人造的。我们正躺在一只潜水船的背上。我四处查找，试图找到开口、气孔，但什么也没有。终于，漫漫长夜过去了，天亮了。突然船内传来一阵响声，一块钢板被掀了起来，出来一个人。这人怪叫一声，立刻又消失不见了。过了一会儿，八个壮汉蒙着脸，一声不响地出现了，把我们拖进了他们那不可思议的机器里。
