The most remarkable soundings were taken in the south Atlantic near the 35th parallel, and they gave 12,000 meters, 14,091 meters, and 15,149 meters. All in all, it's estimated that if the sea bottom were made level, its average depth would be about seven kilometers."

在南大西洋,南纬35度的地方,做了成绩优良的探测,结果有的是一万二千米,有的是一万四千零九十一米,有的又是一万五千一百四十九米,总起来说,照一般的估计,如果把海底平均起来,它的平均深度可能是七千米左右."
"Well, professor," Captain Nemo replied, "we'll show you better than that, I hope. As for the average depth of this part of the Pacific, I'll inform you that it's a mere 4,000 meters."
“好,教授,尼摩船长答,“我希望,我们可以给您说些更确切的数字。就是我们目前所在的太平洋这一部分的平均深度仅仅为四千米。”
This said, Captain Nemo headed to the hatch and disappeared down the ladder. I followed him and went back to the main lounge. The propeller was instantly set in motion, and the log gave our speed as twenty miles per hour.
说了这话后,尼摩船长向嵌板走去,从铁梯下去不见了。我跟着他下来,我回到客厅中。推进器立即发动起来,测程器指的是每小时二十海里的速度。
Over the ensuing days and weeks, Captain Nemo was very frugal with his visits. I saw him only at rare intervals. His chief officer regularly fixed the positions I found reported on the chart, and in such a way that I could exactly plot the Nautilus's course.
好些日子,好几周过去了,尼摩船长根少过来访问。我也只是在十分少有的机会才看见他。他的副手按时来作航线记录,一一记在图上,所以我可以很正确地了解诺第留斯号所走的路线。
Conseil and Land spent the long hours with me. Conseil had told his friend about the wonders of our undersea stroll, and the Canadian was sorry he hadn't gone along. But I hoped an opportunity would arise for a visit to the forests of Oceania.
康塞尔和尼德·兰跟我一起、谈了很长的时间。康塞尔把我们在海底散步的时候所见到的新奇事物告诉了他的朋友,加拿大人很后悔他没有跟我们一道去。但我希望以后还会有游历海底森林的机会。
Almost every day the panels in the lounge were open for some hours, and our eyes never tired of probing the mysteries of the underwater world.
客厅的嵌板差不多每天都有好几个钟头要打开来,我们的眼睛尽情地观察海底世界的秘密,总看不厌。
