I'll spare you the innumerable hypotheses with which we've tried to explain this inexplicable 1 phenomenon, whose secret is yours alone.
现在我不想告诉您,人们为了解释那唯有您才知道其中奥妙的神秘现象所做的无数假设。
But please understand that the Abraham Lincoln chased you over the Pacific high seas in the belief it was hunting some powerful marine 2 monster, which had to be purged 3 from the ocean at all cost.
但您要知道,林肯号一直追逐您到太平洋北部海面。仍然认为是追打一种海怪,非把它从海洋中清除掉不可呢。
A half smile curled the commander's lips; then, in a calmer tone:
船长的唇上浮现出微笑,
Professor Aronnax, he replied
然后语气比较温和地回答:
do you dare claim that your frigate 4 wouldn't have chased and cannonaded an underwater boat as readily as a monster?
阿龙纳斯先生,您敢肯定你们的战舰不是去追击潜水艇而只是追击海怪吗?
This question baffled me, since Commander Farragut would certainly have shown no such hesitation 5.
这个问题使我很难回答,因为,法拉古舰长肯定是不会迟疑的,
He would have seen it as his sworn duty to destroy a contrivance of this kind just as promptly 6 as a gigantic narwhale.
他一定相信,消灭这类潜水艇和打击巨大的独角鲸,同样是他的职责。
So you understand, sir, the stranger went on, that I have a right to treat you as my enemy.
先生,您要知道,这个人又说,我是有权利把你们当作敌人看待的。
