I hurried to find out the Nautilus's heading. The instruments indicated that it was running southward at a speed of twenty miles per hour and a depth of 100 meters. 急于要知道诺第留斯号航行的方向。厅中的仪器给我指出，它仍是往南开行，速度每小时二十海里，水深一百米。
Conseil entered. I described our nocturnal excursion to him, and since the panels were open, he could still catch a glimpse of this submerged continent. 康塞尔进来，我告诉他我们昨天夜间的旅行，同时嵌板敞开，他还可以望见那沉没了的大陆的一部分。

The ship scudded 2 along like an air balloon borne by the wind over some prairie on land; but it would be more accurate to say that we sat in the lounge as if we were riding in a coach on an express train. 它像一只在陆地草原上被风推送的气球一般飞跑；如果我们说，我们在这厅中，就像在特别快车的车厢里面更恰当一些。
As for the foregrounds passing before our eyes, they were fantastically carved rocks, forests of trees that had crossed over from the vegetable kingdom into the mineral kingdom, their motionless silhouettes 3 sprawling 4 beneath the waves. 在我们眼前闪过的前列景象，是那离奇古怪的割切成的大石块，从植物界到动物界的树林，那屹立不动的形影在海水中挤眉弄眼的怪样子。
There also were stony 5 masses buried beneath carpets of axidia and sea anemone 6, bristling 7 with long, vertical 8 water plants, then strangely contoured blocks of lava 9 that testified to all the fury of those plutonic developments. 其次又是那藏在轴形草和白头翁地毯下面的大堆石头，上面竖起无数长长在立的蛇婆，其次是轮廓弯折得奇怪的大块火石，证明地心大火力量的惊人猛烈。
