Half an hour after the Canadian's latest exploits, we were back on the inner beach.

加拿大人打到了鳥半小時(shí)后，我們回到內(nèi)層堤岸來(lái)了。

There the local flora was represented by a wide carpet of samphire, a small umbelliferous plant that keeps quite nicely, which also boasts the names glasswort, saxifrage, and sea fennel.

在這岸上的花草，有那種海雞冠草形成的大塊地毯，這草是泡來(lái)很好吃的傘形花小草，又名為鉆石草、穿石草和海苗香?？等麪柌闪撕脦准?。

Conseil picked a couple bunches. As for the local fauna, it included thousands of crustaceans of every type: lobsters, hermit crabs, prawns, mysid shrimps, daddy longlegs, rock crabs, and a prodigious number of seashells, such as cowries, murex snails, and limpets.

至于動(dòng)物，那就是各種各樣的甲殼類、龍蝦、大盤蟹、長(zhǎng)手蟹、苗蝦、長(zhǎng)腳蝦、加拉蟹，以及數(shù)不清的大量蚌蛤、磁貝、巖貝、編笠貝。

In this locality there gaped the mouth of a magnificent cave. My companions and I took great pleasure in stretching out on its fine-grained sand.

在這個(gè)地方，現(xiàn)出一所高大的巖洞。我跟我的同伴們很高興地在洞中細(xì)沙上躺下來(lái)。

Fire had polished the sparkling enamel of its inner walls, sprinkled all over with mica-rich dust.

火力把琺瑯質(zhì)的和發(fā)光澤為洞壁摩亮了，洞壁上滿是云母石的粉屑。

Ned Land tapped these walls and tried to probe their thickness. I couldn't help smiling.

尼德·蘭用手怕打高墻，探側(cè)墻有多厚。我不禁要笑起來(lái)。

Our conversation then turned to his everlasting escape plans, and without going too far, I felt I could offer him this hope:

談話于是集中在他那永久不能忘懷的逃走計(jì)劃上面，我想我不至于太冒進(jìn)，可以給他這個(gè)希望，

Captain Nemo had gone down south only to replenish his sodium supplies. So I hoped he would now hug the coasts of Europe and America, which would allow the Canadian to try again with a greater chance of success.

就是尼摩船長(zhǎng)往南來(lái)，僅僅是為補(bǔ)充鈉的儲(chǔ)藏量。所以，我希望他現(xiàn)在又要回到歐洲和美洲海岸去，這或者可以讓加拿大人把他沒(méi)有完成的逃走計(jì)劃，更有可能成功的執(zhí)行起來(lái)。

We were stretched out in this delightful cave for an hour. Our conversation, lively at the outset, then languished.

我們躺在這可愛的洞中有一個(gè)鐘頭了。談話開始時(shí)很生動(dòng)，以后興致漸漸減退。
