I closed my eyes. I no longer wanted to think. A half hour still to wait! A half hour of nightmares that could drive me insane!

我閉上眼睛，我不愿意再想下去了。還有半個小時的等待！半個小時使我發(fā)瘋的惡夢！

Just then I heard indistinct chords from the organ, melancholy harmonies from some undefinable hymn, actual pleadings from a soul trying to sever its earthly ties. I listened with all my senses at once, barely breathing, immersed like Captain Nemo in this musical trance that was drawing him beyond the bounds of this world.

這時，我聽到了一陣朦朧的管風琴協(xié)奏聲，那是一種難以形容的絕唱的哀樂，是一顆與世隔絕的心靈的真正哀怨。我屏住氣，全神貫注地聆聽著，像尼摩船長一樣沉浸在這把他帶離塵世之外的恍惚的樂聲中。

Then a sudden thought terrified me. Captain Nemo had left his stateroom. He was in the same lounge I had to cross in order to escape. There I would encounter him one last time. He would see me, perhaps speak to me! One gesture from him could obliterate me, a single word shackle me to his vessel!

突然，一種想法把我嚇壞了：尼摩船長離開了他的房間。我仿佛看到他走到了我逃跑必經的客廳里，在那里，我最后一次碰到了他。他看著我，他可能會跟我說話！而且他的一個手勢就可能毀了我，他的一句話，就會把我拴在他的船上！

Even so, ten o'clock was about to strike. It was time to leave my stateroom and rejoin my companions.

然而，10點的鐘聲敲響了。我離開房間，與同伴會合的時刻到了。

I dared not hesitate, even if Captain Nemo stood before me. I opened the door cautiously, but as it swung on its hinges, it seemed to make a frightful noise. This noise existed, perhaps, only in my imagination!

這時，就是尼摩船長站在我面前，也沒什么可猶豫了。盡管我小心翼翼地打開了房門，我還是覺得我轉動門鏈時發(fā)出了嚇人的聲響。這個聲音可能只存在于我的想象中吧！

I crept forward through the Nautilus's dark gangways, pausing after each step to curb the pounding of my heart.

我貓著腰穿過“鸚鵡螺號”船上黑暗的過道，我每走一步就停一下，以讓我的心跳平息一下。
