I did justice to this meal. It was made up of various fish and some slices of sea cucumber, that praiseworthy zoophyte, all garnished 1 with such highly appetizing seaweed as the Porphyra laciniata and the Laurencia primafetida.
我这顿饭吃得很饱。各式各样的菜是由鱼类，海参，美味的植虫动物，另外还有助消化的海藻类植物，像青红片海藻，苦乳味海藻等等做出来的。
Our beverage 2 consisted of clear water to which, following the captain's example, I added some drops of a fermented 3 liquor extracted by the Kamchatka process from the seaweed known by name as Rhodymenia palmata.
饮料是用水和酵素酒合成，这酒是按照勘察加岛人的方法，从有名的海藻，即所谓掌形蔷蔽藻酿造出来的。
At first Captain Nemo ate without pronouncing a single word. Then he told me:
起初，尼摩船长只是吃，不说一句话，后来才对我说：
Professor, when I proposed that you go hunting in my Crespo forests, you thought I was contradicting myself.
阿龙纳斯先生，我邀请您到我的克利斯波岛的森林中打猎的时候，您以为我是自相矛盾。
When I informed you that it was an issue of underwater forests, you thought I'd gone insane. Professor, you must never make snap judgments 4 about your fellow man.
当我告诉您这是海底森林的时候，您以为我是发疯。教授，您不能这样轻易判断
But, captain, believe me--
不过，船长，请您相信…
Kindly 5 listen to me, and you'll see if you have grounds for accusing me of insanity 6 or self-contradiction.
请您耐心听下去，然后再看看您是不是应当责备我发疯和自相矛盾了。
I'm all attention.
我听您说，船长。
Professor, you know as well as I do that a man can live underwater so long as he carries with him his own supply of breathable air.
教授，您和我都知道，人只要带了充分的可呼吸的空气，他就可以生活在水底下。
For underwater work projects, the workman wears a waterproof 7 suit with his head imprisoned 8 in a metal capsule, while he receives air from above by means of force pumps and flow regulators.
工人在水底下工作时，穿上～件不透水的衣服，头上套了一个金属的盒子，再利用打气机和节流器，就可以从水上面获得空气。
That's the standard equipment for a diving suit, I said.
那是一套潜水设备。我说。
Correct, but under such conditions the man has no freedom. He's attached to a pump that sends him air through an india-rubber hose;
对，可是，带了这套设备，人是不自由的，那条输送空气的胶皮管子把他和打气机连接起来。
it's an actual chain that fetters 9 him to the shore, and if we were to be bound in this way to the Nautilus, we couldn't go far either.
简直就是一条把他拴在陆地上的锁链，如果我们是这样拴连着诺第留斯号，那我们就不能往远处走了。"
