Professor, he told me, the simple logic of the naturalist led me to discover this passageway, and I alone am familiar with it. 教授，使我发现这条只有我一人认识的海底地道的，是一个生物学家的简单推理。 I'd noted that...
And who says it will circle Africa, professor? What's this talk about doubling the Cape of Good Hope? 教授谁告诉您，它要绕非洲一周呢？谁告诉您，它要经过好望角呢？ But unless the Nautilus navigates on dry land and crosses...

Surely, but of great use to the world at large, Captain Nemo said. 不错，不过对全世界很有用。船长回答， The ancients well understood the usefulness to commerce of connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, but they never dreamed...

Other zoophytes swarming near the sponges consisted chiefly of a very elegant species of jellyfish; 在海绵类旁边繁殖着的其他植虫动物，主要是形状很美观的一种水母。 mollusks were represented by varieties of squid that, ac...
