　　不是。为了服侍先生，我就跟着先生下来了！

　　The fine lad thought this only natural!

　　这个好人觉得这样做是很自然的！

　　What about the frigate¹? I asked.

　　战舰呢？我问。

　　The frigate? Conseil replied, rolling over on his back. I think master had best not depend on it to any great extent!

　　战舰哪！康塞尔转过身来回答，我认为先生不要再指望它了。

　　What are you saying?

　　你说的什么？

　　I'm saying that just as I jumped overboard, I heard the men at the helm shout, Our propeller² and rudder are smashed!' Smashed?

　　我说的是，在我跳入海中的时候，我听见舵旁边的人喊：‘舵和螺旋桨都坏了都坏了?是的！

　　Yes, smashed by the monster's tusk³! I believe it's the sole injury the Abraham Lincoln has sustained. But most inconveniently⁴ for us, the ship can no longer steer⁵.

　　我想，林肯号受到的损坏虽然只存这么一点儿，可是，这种情况对于我们是很不利的，因为船无法掌握方向了。

　　Then we're done for!

　　那么，我们完了！

　　Perhaps, Conseil replied serenely⁶. However, we still have a few hours before us, and in a few hours one can do a great many things!

　　也许完了，康塞尔安静地回答，不过，我们还可以支持几个钟头，在几个钟头内，我们可以做不少的事!
