In 1863, Professor Otto Lindenbrock found a secret message in an old book he had recently bought.
1863年,教授奥拓·林登布朗克在他新买的一本古书中发现了一个秘密信息。
The message spoke of a trip to the centre of the Earth through a volcano in Iceland.
这个信息讲到了去地心的旅行,入口是冰岛的一个火山口。
Immediately, he got his things packed and went to iceland, forcing his nephew Axel to go with him.
于是,他立即收拾了行李去冰岛,强迫他的侄子阿克斯尔和他一起去。
In Iceland, the Professor hired a guide named Hans. When the three of them reached the volcano, they journeyed underground through a small cave.
在冰岛,教授雇了一名导游,汉斯。这三个人到达火山口,通过一个小洞穴开始了地下旅行。
After many days, they came to a vast room with a large ocean inside.
多天以后,他们到达一处非常广阔的空间,那里还有个巨大的海洋。
On the shore of this ocean, there was a forest and huge mushrooms.
在这片海的岸边上,有一处森林和很多巨大的蘑菇。
High above, the sky was filled with gas that gave off light like the sun.
高处,天空充斥的天然气,像太阳一样释放着光芒。
The three men built a small boat and set sail.
三个人造了一艘小船,开始航行。
All of a sudden, two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other.
突然,两只恐龙出现在海面上,开始互相撕斗。
The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs before they were able to get away.
等到他们离开之前,小船被恐龙撞得几乎就要沉了。
