　　天亮了。朝雾笼罩着我们，但不久就消散了。

　　I was about to proceed with a careful examination of the hull¹, whose topside formed a sort of horizontal platform, when I felt it sinking little by little.

　　我正要仔细观察一下上层形成平台的船壳的时候，我觉得船渐渐下沉了。

　　"Oh, damnation!" Ned Land shouted, stamping his foot on the resonant² sheet iron. "Open up there, you antisocial navigators!"

　　喂！鬼东西！尼德·兰喊着，用脚狠踢钢板，开门吧，不好客的航海人！

　　But it was difficult to make yourself heard above the deafening³ beats of the propeller⁴. Fortunately this submerging movement stopped.

　　但在推进器拨水的隆隆声响中间，想叫人听到他的活是不容易的。很幸运，船一会儿又不往下沉了。

　　From inside the boat, there suddenly came noises of iron fastenings pushed roughly aside.

　　突然，一片猛然推动铁板的声音从船里面发出来。

　　One of the steel plates flew up, a man appeared, gave a bizarre yell, and instantly disappeared.

　　一块铁板掀起了，出来一个人，这人怪叫了一声，立即又进去不见了。

　　A few moments later, eight strapping⁵ fellows appeared silently, their faces like masks, and dragged us down into their fearsome machine.

　　不久，八个又高又大的壮汉，蒙着脸，一声不响地走出来，把我们拉进了他们的可怕机器中。
