旁白 neutral

The telegram that Detective Fix sent to Scotland Yard had an instant effect on opinion in London

侦探菲克斯发往苏格兰场的电报立刻影响了伦敦的舆论。

旁白 neutral

Suddenly Phileas Fogg was no longer an eccentric rich man who had accepted a wager to travel around the world

突然间，菲利亚斯·福格不再是那个接受赌约、环游世界的古怪富翁。

旁白 neutral

Now he was a suspected gentleman bank robber!

现在，他成了涉嫌银行劫案的绅士强盗！

旁白 neutral

Betting on his grand adventure ceased, and his name was dropped from the betting books

为他的伟大冒险下注的活动停止了，他的名字也从赌账簿上划去。

旁白 neutral

Instead his name filled the papers as speculation grew about his connection to the theft of the fifty-five-thousand pounds

相反，随着外界猜测他与五万五千英镑失窃案有关，他的名字占据了报纸版面。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg, oblivious to the telegram or any news at home, was focused just on his goal

福格先生对电报和国内的任何消息一无所知，只专注于自己的目标。

旁白 neutral

In fact, after breakfast, and while Passepartout was shopping for necessities in Suez, Mr. Fogg went to see the captain of the Mongolia

事实上，早饭后，当万事通在苏伊士采购必需物品时，福格先生去见蒙古号的船长。

旁白 neutral

" My good sir," began Mr. Fogg," may I have a word with you regarding our voyage to Bombay?"

“我的好先生，”福格先生开口道，“我能和您谈一下我们前往孟买的航程吗？”

旁白 neutral

" I can speak with you only briefly, sir, as we are set to sail in less than an hour," said the captain

“我只能简短和您说一下，先生，因为我们不到一小时就要起航了。”船长说。

旁白 neutral

" What I have to say is brief," replied Mr. Fogg

“我要说的也很简短。”福格先生答道。

旁白 neutral

" I am in a great hurry and would be obliged if you could reach Bombay in the shortest time possible

“我有急事，如果你能以最快速度到达孟买，我将感激不尽。

旁白 neutral

In fact, I am willing to offer you a considerable sum if you arrive in Bombay more than a day ahead of schedule."

事实上，如果你能比预定时间提前一天以上到达孟买，我愿意付给你一大笔钱。”

旁白 neutral

The captain was surprised by Mr. Fogg's request but had no trouble agreeing to make haste

船长对福格先生的要求感到惊讶，但毫不犹豫地同意加速前进。

旁白 neutral

When Passepartout returned to the Mongolia shortly before it set sail, Mr. Fogg was waiting for him

路路通在蒙古号即将启航前返回船上时，福格先生正在等他。

旁白 neutral

Detective Fix was also on board, planning Mr. Fogg's arrest

侦探费克斯也在船上，正计划逮捕福格先生。

旁白 neutral

The detective hoped that the warrant for Mr. Fogg would be ready when the boat arrived in Bombay

侦探希望当船抵达孟买时，针对福格先生的逮捕令能准备好。

旁白 neutral

After passing through the famous canal at Suez, the Mongolia entered the Red Sea

穿过著名的苏伊士运河后，蒙古号驶入了红海。

旁白 neutral

Winds from the African coast made the waves boisterous, and many passengers speedily disappeared below deck

非洲海岸吹来的风让海浪变得汹涌起来，许多乘客很快就躲到了甲板下面。

旁白 neutral

As he watched the wind and the billowing waves, was Phileas Fogg anxious about the steamer's progress?

望着狂风和汹涌的海浪，菲利亚斯·福格难道会为轮船的航程感到焦虑吗？

旁白 neutral

As calmly as if he were sitting in his Reform Club, he passed through the Red Sea with indifference

他平静得仿佛坐在革新俱乐部里一样，漠不关心地穿过了红海。

旁白 neutral

When the weather calmed, he did not view the historic villages on the coast

天气转好后，他也并未去观赏沿岸那些历史悠久的村庄。

旁白 neutral

The Mongolia ploughed on into the Arabian Sea, and he paid no attention

蒙古号破浪前行，驶入阿拉伯海，而他对此未加留意。

旁白 neutral

He ate four hearty meals a day, slept soundly every night, and passed his time playing whist with other enthusiastic card players like himself

他一天享用四顿大餐，每晚酣然入睡，其余时间则和像他一样热衷的牌友打惠斯特牌来消磨时光。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout, however, thoroughly enjoyed watching the scenery

然而，路路通却尽情享受着观赏风景的乐趣。

旁白 neutral

He spent hours every day lounging on the deck and taking in his surroundings

他每天都会花好几个小时在甲板上闲逛，欣赏周围的一切。

旁白 neutral

He ate his meals in the forward cabin

他在前舱用餐。

旁白 neutral

It was there one day where he spotted the obliging person with whom he had talked in Suez

一天，正是在那里，他认出了那位在苏伊士与他交谈过的热心人。

旁白 neutral

" If I am not mistaken," Passepartout said, approaching Detective Fix," you are the gentleman who kindly helped me in Suez."

“如果我没认错的话，”路路通走近菲克斯侦探，说道，“您就是那位在苏伊士热心帮助过我的先生。”

旁白 neutral

" Ah! I recognize you. Yes, you are the servant of the unusual Englishman," said Fix with a smile

“啊！我认出你了。没错，你就是那位古怪英国人的仆人。”菲克斯笑着说。

旁白 neutral

" Exactly, monsieur," said Passepartout

“正是，先生。”路路通说道。

旁白 neutral

" Fix, my name is Fix."

"费克斯，我叫费克斯。"

旁白 neutral

" Monsieur Fix, I am charmed to meet you. Where are you bound?" asked Passepartout

"费克斯先生，很高兴认识您。您要去哪里？"路路通问道。

旁白 neutral

" Like you, to Bombay," replied Fix

"和您一样，去孟买。"费克斯回答。

旁白 neutral

" Splendid. I have just finished my lunch," said Passepartout, as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his large silver watch

"太好了。我刚吃完午饭，"路路通说着，把手伸进口袋，掏出他那块大银表。

旁白 neutral

" It is now one o'clock. Would you like to walk around the deck with me?"

"现在是一点钟。您愿意和我一起在甲板上走走吗？"

旁白 neutral

" Yes, I would. But your watch does not tell the right time, sir. It is slow," said Fix

"好啊。不过您的手表时间不对，先生。它慢了。"费克斯说。

旁白 neutral

" My watch? It is a family watch," said Passepartout

"我的表？这可是块传家表。"路路通说。

旁白 neutral

" It has come down to me from my great-grandfather! It doesn't vary five minutes in a year. It's a perfect timepiece."

"是从我曾祖父那里传下来的！一年误差不超过五分钟。是个完美的计时器。"

旁白 neutral

" I see," said Fix." I believe you have kept London time, which is two hours behind that of the Suez

"我明白了，"费克斯说，"我想您一直用的是伦敦时间，比苏伊士这里的时间慢两小时。

旁白 neutral

You should regulate your watch at noon in each country."

您应该每到一个国家，就在正午时分校准您的表。"

旁白 neutral

" Regulate my watch?" asked Passepartout." Never!"

“调我的表？”路路通问道，“绝不！”

旁白 neutral

" Well, then, it will not agree with the sun," said Fix

“那它就不会和太阳保持一致了。”费克斯说。

旁白 neutral

" That is a problem for the sun, monsieur!"

“那太阳可就有麻烦了，先生！”

旁白 neutral

And with a defiant gesture, Passepartout returned his watch to his pocket

路路通以一个满不在乎的动作，把表放回了口袋。

旁白 neutral

Fix decided to change the subject and in the most casual tone asked," Is Mr. Fogg getting on well?"

费克斯决定换个话题，用最随意的语气问道：“福格先生还好吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Quite well," said Passepartout." And I am too

“好得很，”路路通说，“我也好得很。

旁白 neutral

It must be the sea air. I am eating like a famished giant."

这一定是海风的作用。我吃起来像个饿坏了的巨人。”

旁白 neutral

Fix smiled, and their amiable conversation continued with innocent topics

费克斯笑了笑，他们友好地继续聊着些无关紧要的话题。

旁白 neutral

During the crossing Fix and Passepartout got into the habit of meeting and chatting regularly

在渡海期间，费克斯和路路通养成了定期见面聊天的习惯。

旁白 neutral

Fix often offered Passepartout a whiskey or beer in the steamer's bar, and Passepartout never failed to accept his generosity

费克斯常在轮船酒吧请路路通喝威士忌或啤酒，而路路通也从不拒绝他的慷慨。

旁白 neutral

The Mongolia was due in Bombay on October 22. But it arrived on October 20

蒙古号原定于10月22日抵达孟买，但它在10月20日就到了。

旁白 neutral

So Mr. Fogg had gained two days, which he calmly entered in his travel journal after paying the captain his reward

于是福格先生赢得了两天时间，在付给船长酬金后，他平静地把这记在了旅行日志上。

旁白 neutral

Fix, however, was not as happy

然而，费克斯却没那么高兴。

旁白 neutral

As soon as the ship docked, Fix hastily made his way to the local police station in search of the warrant for Fogg

船一靠岸，费克斯就匆忙赶往当地警察局，寻找针对福格的逮捕令。

旁白 neutral

But being two days ahead of schedule, he knew the chances of finding it waiting for him were slim

但提前了两天到达，他知道找到那令状在等他的可能性微乎其微。

旁白 neutral

As you just read, Mr. Fogg and I arrived in Bombay, India

正如你刚才读到的，福格先生和我抵达了印度的孟买。

旁白 neutral

Now you might be wondering why British police were in India

现在你可能会想，为什么英国警察会在印度。

旁白 neutral

That's because India is a British colony

那是因为印度是英国的殖民地。

旁白 neutral

A colony is a country controlled by another country

殖民地就是被另一个国家控制的国家。

旁白 neutral

Many powerful European countries have colonies in the Americas, Asia, and Africa

许多强大的欧洲国家在美洲、亚洲和非洲都有殖民地。

旁白 neutral

The main reason Britain has established colonies is so it can profit through trade

英国建立殖民地的主要原因是为了通过贸易获利。

旁白 neutral

India has many spices, teas, and grains that are sold in Europe for six-thousand times the price they cost in India!

印度有许多香料、茶叶和谷物，在欧洲以高于印度成本六千倍的价格出售！

旁白 neutral

In fact, India is so profitable, it's called the " jewel in the crown " of the British Empire

事实上，印度利润如此丰厚，以至于被称为大英帝国“王冠上的明珠”。

旁白 neutral

There has been a lot of resistance to British rule in India; many Indians are very poor

印度国内对英国统治的反抗一直很多；许多印度人非常贫穷。

旁白 neutral

But Britain maintains its control with its very powerful army

但英国凭借其强大的军队维持着控制。
