The silence was further disturbed only by the pounding of my heart.

這時(shí)的沉寂只有被我的心臟的跳動(dòng)打斷了。

Suddenly I felt a mild jolt. I realized the Nautilus had come to rest on the ocean floor. My alarm increased.

忽然，我感到一下輕微的沖撞。我明白，諾第留斯號(hào)是停在大洋底下的地上了。我心中更加不安起來(lái)。

The Canadian's signal hadn't reached me. I longed to rejoin Ned Land and urge him to postpone his attempt. I sensed that we were no longer navigating under normal conditions.

加拿大人的信號(hào)不給我發(fā)出來(lái)。我很想出去找他，要他改期執(zhí)行他的計(jì)劃。我感覺(jué)到，我們的航行不是在平常的情況中進(jìn)行的…

Just then the door to the main lounge opened and Captain Nemo appeared. He saw me, and without further preamble:

這時(shí)候，客廳的門(mén)開(kāi)了，尼摩船長(zhǎng)進(jìn)來(lái)。他看見(jiàn)了我，沒(méi)有什么寒暄客套話(huà)，池用親熱的語(yǔ)氣說(shuō)：

Ah, professor, he said in an affable tone, I've been looking for you. Do you know your Spanish history?

??！教授，我正找您哩。您知道西班牙的歷史嗎？

Even if he knew it by heart, a man in my disturbed, befuddled condition couldn't have quoted a syllable of his own country's history.

就算是一個(gè)很熟悉自己本國(guó)的歷史的人，但在我所處的情況中，心中恍飽，頭腦昏亂，他也不可能說(shuō)出一句話(huà)來(lái)。

Well? Captain Nemo went on. Did you hear my question? Do you know the history of Spain?

那么，尼摩船長(zhǎng)立即又說(shuō)，您聽(tīng)到了我提出的問(wèn)題嗎？您知道西班牙的歷史嗎？

Very little of it, I replied.

知道得很少。我回答。

The most learned men, the captain said, still have much to learn. Have a seat, he added, and I'll tell you about an unusual episode in this body of history.

許多學(xué)者都是這樣，他們不知道，船長(zhǎng)說(shuō)，那么，您請(qǐng)坐，他又說(shuō)，我要告訴您這個(gè)國(guó)家歷史的一段新奇事件。

The captain stretched out on a couch, and I mechanically took a seat near him, but half in the shadows.

船長(zhǎng)躺在一張安樂(lè)椅上，我機(jī)械地坐在他近邊淡淡的陰影中。

Professor, he said, listen carefully. This piece of history concerns you in one definite respect, because it will answer a question you've no doubt been unable to resolve.

教授，我說(shuō)，請(qǐng)您聽(tīng)我說(shuō)。這歷史在某一方面可以使您很感興趣，因?yàn)樗卮鹆四荒芙鉀Q的一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

I'm listening, captain, I said, not knowing what my partner in this dialogue was driving at, and wondering if this incident related to our escape plans.

船長(zhǎng)，我聽(tīng)您說(shuō)。我說(shuō)。我不知道我的對(duì)話(huà)人要說(shuō)什么，我心中想，這件事是不是跟我們的逃走計(jì)劃有關(guān)系。
