THIS DREADFUL SIGHT was the first of a whole series of maritime 1 catastrophes 2 that the Nautilus would encounter on its run. 上面看到的可怕景象，是诺第留斯号在航程中碰到的一连串海中灾祸的开始，
When it plied 3 more heavily traveled seas, we often saw wrecked 4 hulls 5 rotting in midwater, and farther down, cannons 6, shells, anchors, chains, 自从它到了船只往来比较多的海中，我们时常看见遇难的船只在海水中腐烂了，在更深的地方，海底下面，看到上了锈的大炮、子弹、锚、链
and a thousand other iron objects rusting 7 away. 以及其他许多铁器。
Meanwhile, continuously swept along by the Nautilus, where we lived in near isolation, 不过，诺第留斯号总是带着我们前进。我们在船上很孤独地生活。
we raised the Tuamotu Islands on December 11, that old dangerous group associated with the French global navigator Commander Bougainville; 12月11日，我们望见了帕摩图群岛，
it stretches from Ducie Island to Lazareff Island over an area of 500 leagues from the east-southeast to the west-northwest, 从度西岛直至拉查列岛，由东南偏东至西北偏西，
between latitude 8 13 degrees 30'and 23 degrees 50'south, and between longitude 9 125 degrees 30' and 151 degrees 30' west. 这群岛位于南纬13度30分和23度50分之间，西经125度30分和151度30分之间，
This island group covers a surface area of 370 square leagues, and it's made up of some sixty subgroups, among which we noted 10 the Gambier group, which is a French protectorate. 我看到了法国占领的作为它的保护地的甘比尔群岛。在长五百里的海面上罗列起来。群岛的面积共三百七十平方里，由约莫六十个小群岛组成，在这些小群岛中间，
These islands are coral formations. 这些小群岛全是珊瑚岛。
Thanks to the work of polyps, a slow but steady upheaval 11 will someday connect these islands to each other. 由于珊瑚这种腔肠动物所起的作用，造成地面缓慢地，但连续地上升，因此，将来一定有一天会把这些小岛连接起来。
Later on, this new island will be fused to its neighboring island groups, and a fifth continent will stretch from New Zealand and New Caledonia as far as the Marquesas Islands. 以后，连接起来的新岛又跟邻近的群岛衔接，久而久之，从新西兰和新喀里多尼亚岛起，至马贵斯群岛止，便要出现一个新大陆，那就是未来的第五大洲。
