英语听书《海底两万里》第545期 第34章 大屠杀(6)

 Dreadful to hear, Captain Nemo was even more dreadful to see. 尼摩船长的声音听起来很可怕，脸色看上去则更可怕。

His face was pale from some spasm¹ of his heart, which must have stopped beating for an instant. 他的脸色由于心脏的抽搐而苍白，他的心跳大概停了一下，

His pupils were hideously² contracted. 瞳孔吓人地收缩着。

His voice was no longer speaking, it was bellowing³. 他此时的喉咙不再是在说话，而是在吼叫。

Bending from the waist, he shook the Canadian by the shoulders. 他的身体向前倾，双手攫住加拿大人的肩膀。

Then, dropping Ned and turning to the battleship, whose shells were showering around him: 接着，船长松开加拿大人，朝着炮弹像雨点般落在他身旁的战舰转过身去：

O ship of an accursed nation, you know who I am! “啊！你知道我是谁，你这该死的国家的船！

he shouted in his powerful voice. 用尽全身力气吼道。

"And I don't need your colors to recognize you!  你就是烧成骨灰我也能认出你！

Look! I'll show you mine!" 瞧吧！我让你看看我的旗帜！”

And in the bow of the platform, Captain Nemo unfurled a black flag, 说完，尼摩船长在平台前面展开了一面黑旗，

like the one he had left planted at the South Pole. 跟他先前插在南极点的那一面相像的。

Just then a shell hit the Nautilus's hull⁴ obliquely,  就在这时，一颗炮弹斜斜地击中了“鹦鹉螺号”的船壳，

failed to breach⁵ it, ricocheted near the captain, and vanished into the sea. 弹过船长的身旁，落到了海里，但没有伤害到船。

Captain Nemo shrugged⁶ his shoulders.  尼摩船长耸耸肩膀。

Then, addressing me: Go below! he told me in a curt⁷ tone.  然后，口气生硬地对我说： “请下去吧，

"You and your companions, go below!" 您和您的同伴请下去。” 

Sir, I exclaimed, "are you going to attack this ship?" “先生，”我喊道，“您想攻击这艘船吗？” 

Sir, I'm going to sink it. “先生，我要击沉它。”

You wouldn't! I will, Captain Nemo replied icily.  “您不能这么做！”“我要这么做，”尼摩船长冷酷地说，

"You're ill-advised to pass judgment⁸ on me, sir. “用不着您来对我指手划脚，先生。

Fate has shown you what you weren't meant to see. 命运让您看到了您不该看到的事情。

The attack has come. Our reply will be dreadful. Get back inside!" 进攻要开始了，反击是很可怕的。请进去吧。”
