海底兩萬(wàn)里 第120期 第9章 尼德·蘭的憤怒(5)

　　Like a log, professor. But I must be imagining things, because it seems like I'm breathing a sea breeze!

　　十分甜美，教授。不過(guò)，我不知道我是不是弄錯(cuò)了，好像我現(xiàn)在呼吸的是海風(fēng)!

　　A seaman couldn't be wrong on this topic, and I told the Canadian what had gone on while he slept.

　　一個(gè)水手不可能弄錯(cuò);我告訴加拿大人，當(dāng)他睡熟的時(shí)候所發(fā)生的一切。

　　Good! he said. That explains perfectly all that bellowing we heard, when our so-called narwhale lay in sight of the Abraham Lincoln.

　　對(duì)!他說(shuō)，這就完全說(shuō)明了我們?cè)诹挚咸?hào)上看到這條所謂獨(dú)角鯨的時(shí)候所聽(tīng)到的那種吼聲了。

　　Perfectly, Mr. Land. It was catching its breath!

　　不錯(cuò)，足德·蘭師傅，這是它的呼吸聲!

　　Only I've no idea what time it is, Professor Aronnax, unless maybe it's dinnertime?

　　不過(guò)，阿龍納斯先生，現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)鐘了，我完全不知道，恐怕至少也是晚餐時(shí)候了吧?

　　Dinnertime, my fine harpooner? I'd say at least breakfast time, because we've certainly woken up to a new day.

　　老實(shí)的魚(yú)叉手，晚餐時(shí)候嗎?恐怕至少是午餐時(shí)候了，因?yàn)閺淖蛱焖闫?，我們現(xiàn)在是在過(guò)第二天了。

　　Which indicates, Conseil replied, that we've spent twenty-four hours in slumber.

　　這么說(shuō)，康塞爾說(shuō)，我們是睡了二十四個(gè)小時(shí)了。

　　That's my assessment, I replied.

　　我想是的。我答。

　　I won't argue with you, Ned Land answered. But dinner or breakfast, that steward will be plenty welcome whether he brings the one or the other.

　　我不反對(duì)你的意見(jiàn)，尼德·蘭答，晚餐也好，午餐也好，不管侍者送來(lái)什么，都是歡迎的。
