Fortunately I controlled myself and stretched out on the bed to soothe¹ my bodily agitation².  幸好，我克制住自己，我躺到床上去，让体内的骚动平息一下。

My nerves calmed a little, but with my brain so aroused,  我的神经松驰了一点，但大脑仍然过度地兴奋。

I did a swift review of my whole existence aboard the Nautilus, 我快速地回忆着从我离开”林肯号”船只以来，

every pleasant or unpleasant incident that had crossed my path since I went overboard from the Abraham Lincoln: 在“鹦鹉螺号”船上所有经历过的所有快乐和不幸的事情：

the underwater hunting trip, the Torres Strait, our running aground, the savages³ of Papua, 海下狩猎，托里斯海峡，搁浅，巴布亚土著，

the coral cemetery⁴, the Suez passageway, the island of Santorini, the Cretan diver, 珊瑚墓地，苏伊士通道，桑多林岛，克利特岛潜水人，

the Bay of Vigo, Atlantis, the Ice Bank, the South Pole,  维多湾，大西洋城，大浮冰群，南极点，

our imprisonment⁵ in the ice, the battle with the devilfish, the storm in the Gulf⁶ Stream, the Avenger,  受困冰层，大战章鱼，海湾暖流的风暴，“复仇号”战舰，

and that horrible scene of the vessel⁷ sinking with its crew... !  以及那被撞沉的战舰和它的全体船员一起沉没的可怕的一幕！

All these events passed before my eyes like backdrops unrolling upstage in a theater.  所有这些事件历历在目，仿佛是电影院后台那一幕幕展开的布景。

In this strange setting Captain Nemo then grew fantastically.  而尼摩船长在这个奇异的境界里无限地放大，

His features were accentuated⁸, taking on superhuman proportions.  他的形象突出超人，

He was no longer my equal, he was the Man of the Waters, the Spirit of the Seas. 他再也不是我的同类，而是一个水中人，一个海底精灵。

By then it was 9:30. I held my head in both hands to keep it from bursting.  9点半了，我双手夹住自己的脑袋，以免它胀裂开。
