海底兩萬(wàn)里 第27期 第3章 隨您先生的便(5)

Oh, it's nothing really! A route slightly less direct, that's all. We're leaving on the Abraham Lincoln.

呵!那算不了什么!不過(guò)是一條不那么直捷的路而已。我們要搭林肯號(hào)出發(fā)。

As master thinks best, Conseil replied placidly.

只要先生覺(jué)得合適就成了?？等麪柊踩坏鼗卮稹?/p>

You see, my friend, it's an issue of the monster, the notorious narwhale.

朋友，你知道，這是關(guān)于那個(gè)怪物的問(wèn)題…那條有名的獨(dú)角鯨的問(wèn)題…

We're going to rid the seas of it!

我們要把它從海上清除出去!

The author of a two-volume work, in quarto, on The Mysteries of the Great Ocean Depths has no excuse for not setting sail with Commander Farragut.

兩本人開(kāi)本的著作《海底的神秘》的作者。不能不跟法拉古司令一同出發(fā)。

It's a glorious mission but also a dangerous one!

這是光榮的任務(wù)，但是也是危險(xiǎn)的任務(wù)!

We don't know where it will take us! These beasts can be quite unpredictable! But we're going just the same! We have a commander who's game for anything!

我們不曉得要到什么地方去!這怪物可能很任性!但我們?nèi)匀灰?我們船上有一位眼光敏銳的艦長(zhǎng)!

What master does, I'll do, Conseil replied.

先生怎么做，我就怎么做?？等麪柣卮?。

But think it over, because I don't want to hide anything from you. This is one of those voyages from which people don't always come back!

你好好想一想，因?yàn)槲覍?duì)你什么也不隱瞞。這次旅行也許是最后一次，說(shuō)不定口不來(lái)哩!

As master wishes.

隨您先生的便。

A quarter of an hour later, our trunks were ready.

一刻鐘以后，康塞爾把箱子整理好了。

Conseil did them in a flash, and I was sure the lad hadn't missed a thing, because he classified shirts and suits as expertly as birds and mammals.

我相信什么也不會(huì)缺少，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)人對(duì)襯衣和衣服的分類，跟對(duì)鳥(niǎo)類或哺乳類動(dòng)物的分類一樣能干。
