海底兩萬里 第558期 第35章 尼摩船長的最后幾句話(4)
Conseil couldn't coax a single word out of him and feared that, in a fit of delirium while under the sway of a ghastly homesickness, Ned would kill himself. So he kept a devoted watch on his friend every instant.
康塞爾因為從加拿大人那里逼不出一句話，害怕他在過度頹喪中，在嚇人的思鄉(xiāng)病驅(qū)使下，會自行了斷。于是，康塞爾一刻不殆地忠誠地監(jiān)護著他。
You can appreciate that under these conditions, our situation had become untenable.
我們明白，在這種處境下，我們再不能這樣持續(xù)下去了。
One morning--whose date I'm unable to specify--I was slumbering near the first hours of daylight, a painful, sickly slumber. Waking up, I saw Ned Land leaning over me, and I heard him tell me in a low voice: "We're going to escape!"
一天早上——在哪一天，我也說不上來——凌晨左右，我在艱苦和病態(tài)中昏昏欲睡。當我醒來時，我看到尼德·蘭俯在我身上，低聲地對我說： “我們逃走吧！”
I sat up. "When?" I asked.
我站起來?！笆裁磿r候？”我問。
"Tonight. There doesn't seem to be any supervision left on the Nautilus. You'd think a total daze was reigning on board. Will you be ready, sir?"
“今晚?！W鵡螺號’上好像失去了一切監(jiān)控，船上似乎籠罩在恐慌中。您準備好了嗎，先生？”
"Yes. Where are we?"
“是的，我們在哪里呢？”
"In sight of land. I saw it through the mists just this morning, twenty miles to the east."
“今天早上，在濃霧中，我剛看到了在東邊20海里處有一片陸地?！?/p>
"What land is it?"
“那陸地是什么地方？”
"I've no idea, but whatever it is, there we'll take refuge."
“我不知道，但不管是什么地方，我們都要往那里逃?！?/p>
"Yes, Ned! We'll escape tonight even if the sea swallows us up!"
“好！尼德。好，我們今晚就逃走，就算大海把我們吐沒了也要逃?！?/p>
"The sea's rough, the wind's blowing hard, but a twenty-mile run in the Nautilus's nimble longboat doesn't scare me. Unknown to the crew, I've stowed some food and flasks of water inside."
“海面情況很糟，風很猛，但在‘鸚鵡螺號’船上那艘輕便的小艇中劃20海里，我是不怕的。而且我已經(jīng)在艇上放了一些糧食和幾瓶水，船上的人沒發(fā)現(xiàn)?！?/p>
"I'm with you."
“我跟您走。”
"What's more," the Canadian added, "if they catch me, I'll defend myself, I'll fight to the death."
“此外，”加拿大人補充說，“如果我被發(fā)現(xiàn)，我要自衛(wèi)，我讓他們把我殺了好了?！?/p>
