Standing by the port deadlight, I spotted 1 magnificent coral substructures, zoophytes, algae 2, and crustaceans 3 with enormous quivering claws that stretched forth 4 from crevices 5 in the rock. 我在左舷的船窗边，望见了珊瑚累积成的十分美丽的基层建筑，无数植虫、海藻、介壳动物，舞动它们的巨大爪牙，在岩石凹凸不平的外面，长长地伸张出来。
At 10:15 Captain Nemo himself took the helm. Dark and deep, a wide gallery opened ahead of us. 十点一刻，尼摩船长亲自把舵。一条宽阔的长廊，又黑又深，在我们面前出现。
The Nautilus was brazenly 6 swallowed up. Strange rumblings were audible along our sides. 诺第留斯号直冲进去。在它两旁发出一种我没有听惯的沙沙声响。
It was the water of the Red Sea, hurled 7 toward the Mediterranean 8 by the tunnel's slope. 这是红海的水，由于地道的斜坡，冲到地中海上。
Our engines tried to offer resistance by churning the waves with propeller 9 in reverse, but the Nautilus went with the torrent 10, as swift as an arrow. 诺第留斯号跟着这道急流下去，像箭一般快，虽然它的机器想要尽力慢一些，把推进器逆流转动，也没有起作用。
Along the narrow walls of this passageway, I saw only brilliant streaks 11, hard lines, fiery 12 furrows 13, all scrawled 14 by our speeding electric light. With my hand I tried to curb 15 the pounding of my heart. 地道两边狭窄的高墙上，我只看见飞奔的速度在电光下所画出的辉煌线纹、笔直线条、火色痕迹。我的心跳动不止，我用手压住心头。
At 10:35 Captain Nemo left the steering 16 wheel and turned to me: 十点三十五分，尼摩船长放下舵上的机轮，向我回过头来，对我说：
The Mediterranean, he told me. 到地中海了。
In less than twenty minutes, swept along by the torrent, the Nautilus had just cleared the Isthmus 17 of Suez. 不到二十分钟，诺第留斯号顺着水流，就通过了苏伊土地峡了。
