海底兩萬(wàn)里 第144期 第10章 水中人(15)

In the center of this room stood a table, richly spread. Captain Nemo indicated the place I was to occupy.

餐廳的中間擺著一桌豐盛的菜。尼摩船長(zhǎng)指給我坐的位于。

Be seated, he told me, and eat like the famished man you must be.

他對(duì)我說(shuō)：請(qǐng)坐，請(qǐng)吃，您已經(jīng)好久不吃東西了，請(qǐng)不要客氣。

Our breakfast consisted of several dishes whose contents were all supplied by the sea, and some foods whose nature and derivation were unknown to me.

午餐有好幾道菜，全是海里的東西，其中有些葷菜，我簡(jiǎn)直不知道它們的性質(zhì)和出處。

They were good, I admit, but with a peculiar flavor to which I would soon grow accustomed.

我承認(rèn)這些食品都很好，雖然有一種特殊味道，但我也吃得慣。

These various food items seemed to be rich in phosphorous, and I thought that they, too, must have been of marine origin.

這些式樣不同的菜看來(lái)都富于磷質(zhì)，所以我想這一定全是海中的產(chǎn)物。

Captain Nemo stared at me. I had asked him nothing, but he read my thoughts, and on his own he answered the questions I was itching to address him.

尼摩船長(zhǎng)看著我。我并沒(méi)有問(wèn)他，但他猜到了我的心事，他就主動(dòng)地答復(fù)我急于要向他提出的問(wèn)題。他說(shuō)：

Most of these dishes are new to you, he told me. But you can consume them without fear. They're healthy and nourishing.

這些菜大部分您以前都沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)。但您可以放心大膽地吃，不必害怕。這些菜很衛(wèi)生，而且富有營(yíng)養(yǎng)。

I renounced terrestrial foods long ago, and I'm none the worse for it. My crew are strong and full of energy, and they eat what I eat.

很久以?shī)A，我就不吃陸地上的食物了，我的身體也并不見(jiàn)得差。我砌船員——個(gè)個(gè)都身強(qiáng)力壯——他們和我一樣都吃這種食品.
