So, I said, all these foods are products of the sea?
那么，我说，所有的食品都是海产吗？
Yes, professor, the sea supplies all my needs. Sometimes I cast my nets in our wake, and I pull them up ready to burst.
是的，教授，大海供应我一切必需品。有时我抛下拖网，等网满得都要断了就把它拉上来。
Sometimes I go hunting right in the midst of this element that has long seemed so far out of man's reach, and I corner the game that dwells in my underwater forests.
有时我到那看来人没法去的大海中间打猎，我追逐那些居住在我的海底森林中的野味。
Like the flocks of old Proteus, King Neptune's shepherd, my herds 1 graze without fear on the ocean's immense prairies.
我的牛羊家畜，像尼普顿的老牧人的一样，无忧无虑地在那广阔的海底牧场上吃草。
There I own vast properties that I harvest myself, and which are forever sown by the hand of the Creator of All Things.
我在海底有一笔巨大的产业，这产业是由造物主亲手播种的。
I stared at Captain Nemo in definite astonishment 2, and I answered him:
我有点惊异，看着尼摩船长，我这样回答他：
Sir, I understand perfectly 3 how your nets can furnish excellent fish for your table;
先生，我完全相信您的鱼网能供应这桌上的许多鱼类，
I understand less how you can chase aquatic 4 game in your underwater forests;
我也了解您如何在您的海底森林中打猎，
but how a piece of red meat, no matter how small, can figure in your menu, that I don't understand at all.
但是我一点不明白在您的菜单上，如何能有肉类—尽管很少？
