I would have stayed longer at my window, marveling at these beauties of sea and sky, but the panels closed. 我停留在玻璃窗面前，欣赏海和天的美景，我停留了很久，一直到嵌板闭起来。
Just then the Nautilus had arrived at the perpendicular 1 face of that high wall. How the ship would maneuver 2 I hadn't a guess. 这时候，诺第留斯号到了那座高墙壁立垂直的地方了。它怎样行驶，我无法猜测。
I repaired to my stateroom. The Nautilus did not stir. 我回房间中来，诺第留斯号不动了。
I fell asleep with the firm intention of waking up in just a few hours. 我睡觉的时候，打定主意，只唾几小时就要醒来。
But it was eight o'clock the next day when I returned to the lounge. 但第二天我到厅中来看，已经八点了。
I stared at the pressure gauge 3. It told me that the Nautilus was afloat on the surface of the ocean. Furthermore, I heard the sound of footsteps on the platform. 我看一下压力表，晓得诺第留斯号是在洋面上行走。同时我也听到平台上有脚步声。
Yet there were no rolling movements to indicate the presence of waves undulating above me. 可是船没有一点摇摆，并不表示出海上波浪起伏的情况。
I climbed as far as the hatch. It was open. But instead of the broad daylight I was expecting, I found that I was surrounded by total darkness. 我一直上到嵌板边，板是敞开的，但我一看，并不是我所想的大白天，四周都是一片漆黑。
Where were we? Had I been mistaken? Was it still night? No! Not one star was twinkling, and nighttime is never so utterly 4 black. 我们是在哪里？我是搞错了吗？现在还是黑夜吗？不！没有一颗星光照耀着。并且就是黑夜也没有这样的漆黑。
I wasn't sure what to think, when a voice said to me:Is that you, professor? 我简直没有法子想象，这时候，有人声对我说：教授，是您吗？
Ah, Captain Nemo! I replied. Where are we? 啊！尼摩船长，我回答，我们现在在哪里呢？
Underground, professor. 教授，在地下呢。
Underground! I exclaimed. And the Nautilus is still floating? 在地下！我喊道，但诺第留斯号还是浮着走呢？
It always floats. 它老是浮着走的。
But I don't understand! 那，我可真不懂了？
