海底兩萬里 第148期 第10章 水中人(19)

It's an immense wilderness where a man is never lonely, because he feels life astir on every side.

在這汪洋浩瀚的大海中，人們不是孤獨的，園為他們感到在自己周圍處處都有生命在顫動;

The sea is simply the vehicle for a prodigious, unearthly mode of existence; it's simply movement and love;

海之為物是超越的、神妙的生存之乘輿;海是動，海是愛，

it's living infinity, as one of your poets put it. And in essence, professor, nature is here made manifest by all three of her kingdoms, mineral, vegetable, and animal.

正像你們法國一位大詩人所說的，它是長存的生命。的確，教授，自然界在海中也同樣有動物、植物、礦物三類。

The last of these is amply represented by the four zoophyte groups, three classes of articulates, five classes of mollusks, and three vertebrate classes:

動物在海中可以大量地繁殖，主要的有腔腸動物四類，節(jié)肢動物三類，軟體動物五類，脊椎動物三類，

mammals, reptiles, and those countless legions of fish, an infinite order of animals totaling more than 13,000 species, of which only one-tenth belong to fresh water.

即哺乳類，爬蟲類和成群無數(shù)的魚類。魚類是動物中無窮無盡的一目…共有一萬三千多種，其中只有十分之一是在淡水中。

The sea is a vast pool of nature. Our globe began with the sea, so to speak, and who can say we won't end with it! Here lies supreme tranquility.

海是大自然的倉庫。可以說，地球是從海開始的，誰知道將來地球不是歸給于海呢!海中有無比和平的環(huán)境。

The sea doesn't belong to tyrants.

海不屬于壓迫者。
