在海面上，他们还可以使用他们的暴力，在那里互相攻打，在那里互相吞噬，把陆地上的各种恐怖手段都搬到那里。
But thirty feet below sea level, their dominion 3 ceases, their influence fades, their power vanishes!
但在海平面三十英尺以下，他们的权力便达不到了，他们的气焰便熄灭了，他们的成势便消失了！
Ah, sir, live! Live in the heart of the seas! Here alone lies independence! Here I recognize no superiors! Here I'm free!
啊！先生，您要生活，就生活在海中吧！只是在海中才有独立！在海中敌不承认有什么主子：在海中我是完全自由的！
