Half an hour after the Canadian's latest exploits, we were back on the inner beach. 加拿大人打到了鸟半小时后，我们回到内层堤岸来了。
There the local flora 1 was represented by a wide carpet of samphire, a small umbelliferous plant that keeps quite nicely, which also boasts the names glasswort, saxifrage, and sea fennel. 在这岸上的花草，有那种海鸡冠草形成的大块地毯，这草是泡来很好吃的伞形花小草，又名为钻石草、穿石草和海苗香。康塞尔采了好几柬。
Conseil picked a couple bunches. As for the local fauna 2, it included thousands of crustaceans 3 of every type: lobsters 4, hermit 5 crabs 6, prawns 7, mysid shrimps 8, daddy longlegs, rock crabs, and a prodigious 9 number of seashells, such as cowries, murex snails 10, and limpets. 至于动物，那就是各种各样的甲壳类、龙虾、大盘蟹、长手蟹、苗虾、长脚虾、加拉蟹，以及数不清的大量蚌蛤、磁贝、岩贝、编笠贝。
In this locality there gaped 11 the mouth of a magnificent cave. My companions and I took great pleasure in stretching out on its fine-grained sand. 在这个地方，现出一所高大的岩洞。我跟我的同伴们很高兴地在洞中细沙上躺下来。
Fire had polished the sparkling enamel 12 of its inner walls, sprinkled all over with mica-rich dust. 火力把珐琅质的和发光泽为洞壁摩亮了，洞壁上满是云母石的粉屑。
Ned Land tapped these walls and tried to probe their thickness. I couldn't help smiling. 尼德·兰用手怕打高墙，探侧墙有多厚。我不禁要笑起来。
Our conversation then turned to his everlasting 13 escape plans, and without going too far, I felt I could offer him this hope: 谈话于是集中在他那永久不能忘怀的逃走计划上面，我想我不至于太冒进，可以给他这个希望，
Captain Nemo had gone down south only to replenish 14 his sodium 15 supplies. So I hoped he would now hug the coasts of Europe and America, which would allow the Canadian to try again with a greater chance of success. 就是尼摩船长往南来，仅仅是为补充钠的储藏量。所以，我希望他现在又要回到欧洲和美洲海岸去，这或者可以让加拿大人把他没有完成的逃走计划，更有可能成功的执行起来。
We were stretched out in this delightful 16 cave for an hour. Our conversation, lively at the outset, then languished 17. 我们躺在这可爱的洞中有一个钟头了。谈话开始时很生动，以后兴致渐渐减退。
