Would my returning to this subject arouse suspicions that could jeopardize our escape plans, if we had promising circumstances for trying again later on?

又來討論這個問題，結果恐怕是引起他為疑慮，以致將來有好機會到來，我們要實行逃走計劃的時候，豈不更加困難了嗎？

I weighed all these considerations, turned them over in my mind, submitted them to Conseil, but he was as baffled as I was.

所有這些理由，在我心中翻來覆去，就是細加較量，慎重考慮，也不能決定，我提出來和康塞爾談，他跟我一樣，很是為難。

In short, although I'm not easily discouraged, I realized that my chances of ever seeing my fellow men again were shrinking by the day, especially at a time when Captain Nemo was recklessly racing toward the south Atlantic!

總之，雖然我不很容易失望：但我明白我重見世人的機會是一天一天減少了，特別是在尼摩船長大膽向大西洋南方奔馳的時候！

During those nineteen days just mentioned, no unique incidents distinguished our voyage.

在我上面說的這十丸天期間內，我們旅行中沒有發(fā)生什么特別意外事件。

I saw little of the captain. He was at work. In the library I often found books he had left open, especially books on natural history.

我很少看見船長。他工作忙。在圖書室里面，我時?？匆娪行?，特別是生物科學的書，他翻開擺在那里。

He had thumbed through my work on the great ocean depths, and the margins were covered with his notes, which sometimes contradicted my theories and formulations.

我的關于海底秘密的著作，他翻閱了，在書邊上寫滿批注，有時駁斥我的理論和我的系統(tǒng)。

But the captain remained content with this method of refining my work, and he rarely discussed it with me.

但船長僅只是這樣清除我書中的不正確部分，他很少跟我討論某些問題。

Sometimes I heard melancholy sounds reverberating from the organ, which he played very expressively, but only at night in the midst of the most secretive darkness, while the Nautilus slumbered in the wilderness of the ocean.

有時，我聽到大風琴發(fā)出抑郁沉悶的聲調，他彈奏時，富有表情，不過他單在夜間彈奏，在最秘密的黑暗中間，當諾第留斯號沉睡在荒漠的海洋中間的時候。

During this part of our voyage, we navigated on the surface of the waves for entire days.

在這部分的旅行中，我們整天在水面上航行。

The sea was nearly deserted.

海好像是被人造棄了的一樣。

A few sailing ships, laden for the East Indies, were heading toward the Cape of Good Hope.

只有幾艘帆船，運貨物到印度，向好望角駛去。

One day we were chased by the longboats of a whaling vessel, which undoubtedly viewed us as some enormous baleen whale of great value.

一天，我們被一只捕鯨船的小艇追逐，他們一定認為我們的船是價值很大的巨大鯨魚。

But Captain Nemo didn't want these gallant gentlemen wasting their time and energy, so he ended the hunt by ping beneath the waters.

但尼摩船長不愿使那些勇敢的打魚人白費時間和氣力，他叫船潛入水中，結束了他們的追逐。

This incident seemed to fascinate Ned Land intensely.
