Detective Fix introduced himself at the Bombay police headquarters

侦探菲克斯在孟买警察总部介绍了自己。

旁白 neutral

He had hurried there first thing in the morning, as soon as the Mongolia had docked

他一大早就匆忙赶到那里，蒙古号刚一靠岸他就赶过去了。

旁白 neutral

He inquired if the warrant for Fogg's arrest had arrived from London yet, but it had not

他询问针对福格的逮捕令是否已从伦敦送达，但还没有到。

旁白 neutral

" If the Mongolia were not two days ahead of schedule, I wouldn't be in this situation," Fix explained to the Bombay director of police

“如果蒙古号没有提前两天到达，我就不会陷入这种处境，”菲克斯向孟买警察局长解释道。

旁白 neutral

He urged the director to issue an order for the arrest of Mr. Fogg, but the director refused

他敦促局长发布逮捕福格先生的命令，但局长拒绝了。

旁白 neutral

" The matter concerns the London office," the director explained," and only London can deliver the order."

“这件事归伦敦方面管，”局长解释说，“只有伦敦才能签发这个命令。”

旁白 neutral

Fix fumed, but he did not insist

菲克斯很恼火，但没有坚持。

旁白 neutral

" Bombay is far enough from London so that a fleeing bank robber will not worry about being seen," he thought

“孟买离伦敦足够远，一个在逃的银行劫匪不用担心被人看见，”他想。

旁白 neutral

So Mr. Fogg would probably stay in Bombay for a while, and the warrant would arrive before his departure

所以福格先生很可能会在孟买停留一段时间，逮捕令会在动身前送到。

旁白 neutral

In the meantime Fix was determined not to lose sight of his mysterious suspect

与此同时，菲克斯下定决心，绝不让那个神秘的嫌疑人离开自己的视线。

旁白 neutral

He hurried through the crowded streets back to the boat

他匆匆穿过拥挤的街道回到船上。

旁白 neutral

He wanted to be there when Mr. Fogg disembarked

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg, for his part, left the steamer in the afternoon

旁白 neutral

After saying good-bye to his whist partners, he descended the gangway, carrying the carpetbag in his hand

向牌友们道别后，他走下舷梯，手里提着旅行袋。

旁白 neutral

On the shore he instructed Passepartout to attend to several errands, but urged him to be at the train station at eight o'clock and not a minute late

上岸后，他吩咐路路通去办几件事，但敦促他八点钟到达火车站，一分钟也不能迟到。

旁白 neutral

Then, with steps as regular as the ticking of a watch, Mr. Fogg walked to the passport office

接着，福克先生迈着像钟表滴答一样有规律的步伐，走向护照办公室。

After receiving a visa, he turned his steps to the train station, where he planned to have dinner and wait for the eight o'clock train to Calcutta

办好签证后，他转身走向火车站，打算在那里用餐，等待八点开往加尔各答的火车。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout, like the detective, had thought his master would stay in Bombay at least for a few days

和侦探一样，路路通原以为主人至少会在孟买停留几天。

旁白 neutral

When he heard his master's orders to meet at the train station, he realized that they were going to continue without delay

Passepartout followed the dancers through winding streets and lanes

路路通跟着舞者们穿过蜿蜒的街巷。

旁白 neutral

After a while he realized that his curiosity had led him farther from the center of the city than he had intended

旁白 neutral

When he turned back to head to the train station, he noticed a magnificent Indian temple on nearby Malabar Hill

当他转身要回火车站时，注意到附近马拉巴山丘上有一座宏伟的印度神庙。

旁白 neutral

It was too splendid to pass up, and he climbed the hill, seized with a desire to see its interior

and that even the faithful must leave their shoes outside

Meaning no harm, Passepartout went in like a simple tourist and was soon lost in admiration of the incredible ornamentation

旁白 neutral

" I have never seen anything so magnificent!" he was thinking when suddenly he was knocked to the stone floor

旁白 neutral

They began to beat him, exclaiming loudly

旁白 neutral

" Help, help, they are stealing my shoes, someone help me!" screamed Passepartout

“救命，救命，他们抢我的鞋，谁来帮帮我！”路路通尖叫道。

旁白 neutral

He got to his feet again and wasted no time in knocking down two of the priests

他重新站起来，毫不迟疑地打倒了其中两个祭司，

旁白 neutral

before rushing out of the pagoda as fast as his legs would carry him

然后拼命冲出了寺庙。

旁白 neutral

When Passepartout finally arrived at the station, he was hatless and shoeless

Listening from behind a newspaper, he heard Passepartout explain his adventure to his master

旁白 neutral

Fix was about to enter a different train car when an idea struck him

旁白 neutral

" I'll stay!" announced Fix to himself." An offense has been committed on Indian soil. I've got my man!"

“我要留下来！”菲克斯对自己说。“有人在印度领土上犯了法。我的猎物跑不掉了！”

旁白 neutral

Just then the locomotive gave a sharp screech, and the train moved into the darkness of the Indian night

就在这时，火车头发出一声尖锐的汽笛，列车驶入了印度夜晚的黑暗之中。

旁白 neutral

Well, I learned my lesson about visiting temples in India

哦，我多希望我早知道这一条规矩啊！
