014 兰贡号轮船

旁白 neutral

The Rangoon was as fast as the Mongolia, but not as comfortable for Aouda as Mr. Fogg would have liked

仰光号与蒙古号一样快，但对艾娥达来说，却没有福克先生希望的那样舒适。

旁白 neutral

However, the trip from Calcutta to Hong Kong would take only ten or twelve days, and Aouda was not difficult to please

不过，从加尔各答到香港的航程只需十到十二天，而艾娥达并不挑剔。

旁白 neutral

During the first few days of the journey, Aouda became better acquainted with her protector, Mr. Fogg

旅途的头几天，艾娥达与她的保护人福克先生熟识起来。

旁白 neutral

She frequently expressed her deep gratitude for his efforts in saving her from a horrible fate

她常常对他所付出的努力深表感激，感谢他将自己从可怕的命运中救出。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg listened to her without the slightest apparent emotion, but he seemed to be always on the watch for her care and comfort

福克先生听着她说话，脸上没有丝毫表情，但他似乎时刻留意着她的起居安适。

旁白 neutral

He visited her regularly each day, not so much to talk himself, but to sit and listen to her

他每天准时去看她，与其说是自己去交谈，不如说是坐下来听她说话。

旁白 neutral

He treated her with the strictest politeness

他对她礼数极为周全。

旁白 neutral

Aouda did not quite know what to make of him

艾娥达不太明白他这个人。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout had given her some hints of his master's eccentricity

路路通曾向她略略透露过他主人古怪的脾气。

旁白 neutral

She had smiled when she heard of the wager that was sending the two men around the world

当她听闻那个促使两人环游世界的赌约时，她笑了。

旁白 neutral

Detective Fix had managed to board the boat at the last possible moment

侦探菲克斯在最后一刻设法登上了船。

旁白 neutral

He had left orders that the warrant for Mr. Fogg's arrest should be forwarded to him in Hong Kong

他已留下指令，将逮捕福克先生的逮捕令转寄到香港给他。

旁白 neutral

He was hoping to conceal his presence on the Rangoon until the end of the voyage

他希望在航行期间一直隐藏自己在仰光号上的行踪，直到航行结束。

旁白 neutral

All Fix's hopes and wishes were now centered on Hong Kong

菲克斯所有的希望和心愿现在都集中在香港。

旁白 neutral

The steamer would be stopping in Singapore, but the stay there would be too brief for him to arrest Mr. Fogg

轮船将在新加坡停靠，但停留时间太短，他来不及逮捕福克先生。

旁白 neutral

" Now, either the warrant will be at Hong Kong, in which case I shall finally be able to arrest my man, or it will not be there," thought Fix

“现在，要么逮捕令会在香港，那样我最终就能逮捕我的目标；要么它不在那儿，”菲克斯想。

旁白 neutral

" If it's not there, it is absolutely necessary that I delay his departure

“如果不在那儿，我就绝对有必要拖延他的出发。”

旁白 neutral

I have failed at Bombay, and I have failed at Calcutta

我在孟买失败了，在加尔各答也失败了。

旁白 neutral

If I fail at Hong Kong, my reputation is lost! Cost what it may, I must succeed!"

如果在香港也失败，我的名声就毁了！无论如何，我必须成功！”

旁白 neutral

As he puzzled over his predicament, Fix decided that he must make a confidant of Passepartout

正当他为困境苦恼时，菲克斯决定必须让路路通成为自己的知己。

旁白 neutral

He was certain that Passepartout was not Mr. Fogg's accomplice in crime

他确信路路通不是福克先生的犯罪同伙。

旁白 neutral

" I will tell him what kind of man his master is," Fix thought

"我要告诉他，他的主人是个什么样的人，"菲克斯心想。

旁白 neutral

" When Passepartout finds out how Mr. Fogg really makes his money, the servant will fear being accused himself and become my ally."

"等路路通发现福克先生到底是怎么赚钱的，这个仆人就会害怕自己也被指控，然后成为我的帮手。"

旁白 neutral

But this strategy was risky, Fix realized

但菲克斯意识到，这个策略很冒险。

旁白 neutral

" One word of warning from Passepartout to his master and all will be ruined!"

"只要路路通向他主人露一个字，一切就全完了！"

旁白 neutral

There was no denying it — the detective was in a difficult position

不可否认，这名侦探陷入了困境。

旁白 neutral

One day Fix emerged from his cabin and went on deck to get some air

一天，菲克斯走出船舱，来到甲板上透透气。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout was walking up and down in the forward part of the steamer when Fix rushed up to him, faking surprise

路路通正在船的前部走来走去，这时菲克斯冲到他面前，装出惊讶的神情。

旁白 neutral

" You? Here, on the Rangoon?" he said

"你？在这儿，仰光号上？"他说。

旁白 neutral

" What, Monsieur Fix, are you onboard?" said the astonished Passepartout

"什么，菲克斯先生，您也在船上？"路路通惊讶地说。

旁白 neutral

" Why, I left you at Bombay, and here you are, on the way to Hong Kong!

“哎呀，我明明是在孟买跟你分开的，现在你竟然也在去香港的路上！

旁白 neutral

Are you going around the world too?"

你也是在环游世界吗？”

旁白 neutral

" No, no," replied Fix." I shall stop at Hong Kong, at least for some days."

“不不，”菲克斯回答。“我到了香港就停下来了，至少得待几天。”

旁白 neutral

" Hmm," said Passepartout." But why haven't I seen you onboard since we left Calcutta?"

“嗯，”路路通说。“可为什么从加尔各答出发后，我就没在船上见过你呢？”

旁白 neutral

" Oh, a bit of sea sickness. I've been staying in my cabin," replied Fix." And how is Mr. Fogg?"

“哦，有点晕船。我一直待在自己舱房里，”菲克斯回答。“福克先生还好吗？”

旁白 neutral

" As well and as punctual as ever," replied Passepartout." Not a day behind time!"

“一如既往地健康，也一如既往地准时，”路路通回答。“一天都没耽搁！”

旁白 neutral

Passepartout went on to explain Aouda's presence among them, and Fix, as usual, invited Passepartout for a drink in the bar

路路通接着解释了艾娥达和他们在一起的原因，而菲克斯像往常一样，邀请路路通去酒吧喝一杯。

旁白 neutral

Later that night as he lay in bed, Passepartout puzzled over the strange coincidence that had kept Fix on the same route as his master

那天晚上晚些时候，路路通躺在床上，对菲克斯和他主人同路这一奇怪的巧合感到困惑。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout wondered why this very friendly person, whom he had met at Suez and then encountered onboard the Mongolia

路路通琢磨着，为什么这个在苏伊士认识、后来又在蒙古号上遇到的非常友善的人，

旁白 neutral

now turned up unexpectedly on the Rangoon despite having told Passepartout that Bombay was his destination

明明告诉过他孟买是他的目的地，现在却出人意料地出现在了仰光号上。

旁白 neutral

Was he following Mr. Fogg step by step?

他是在一步一步地跟着福克先生吗？

旁白 neutral

Passepartout was ready to wager that Fix would also leave Hong Kong at the same time as Mr. Fogg and probably on the same steamer!

路路通敢打赌，菲克斯也一定会和福克先生同时离开香港，而且很可能还是同一条船！

旁白 neutral

Passepartout realized Fix must be an agent from the Reform Club

路路通意识到，菲克斯一定是改良俱乐部派来的密探。

旁白 neutral

He must be a spy sent to make sure that Mr. Fogg really went around the world, as was agreed

他一定是个被派来确保福克先生真的按约定环游了世界的探子。

旁白 neutral

" It's clear!" thought Passepartout, satisfied with his own shrewdness

“这就清楚了！”路路通心想，对自己敏锐的判断感到满意。

旁白 neutral

" He has been sent to keep us in view! Mr. Fogg is such an honorable man!

“他是被派来监视我们的！福克先生是这么正直的一个人！

旁白 neutral

This is not the proper thing for them to do at all!

他们这么做可太不妥当了！

旁白 neutral

Well, gentlemen of the Reform Club," decided Passepartout," this shall cost you dearly."

好吧，改良俱乐部的先生们，”路路通打定主意，“你们会为此付出沉重代价的。”

旁白 neutral

He was determined to tease Fix when he got the chance

他决心一有机会就要捉弄一下菲克斯。

旁白 neutral

On the afternoon of Wednesday, October 30, the Rangoon, now half a day ahead of schedule, arrived in Singapore

10月30日，星期三下午，比预定时间提前了半天的仰光号抵达了新加坡。

旁白 neutral

Phileas Fogg noted this arrival in his journal and then walked ashore, accompanied by Aouda

菲利亚·福格在日记里记下了抵达一事，随后在艾娥达的陪同下上岸去散步。

旁白 neutral

I spent the last five days on a steamer called the Rangoon, traveling from Calcutta to Hong Kong

过去五天，我都在一艘叫“仰光号”的蒸汽船上度过，从加尔各答前往香港。

旁白 neutral

This steamer wasn't as luxurious as it could have been, but it wasn't too bad

这艘蒸汽船算不上有多豪华，但也不算太差。

旁白 neutral

Steamers, also known as steamboats or steamships, are the most common type of boat in the world

蒸汽船，也叫轮船或汽船，是世界上最常见的一种船。

旁白 neutral

They are used not only to carry passengers, but also to transport goods such as coffee, tea, silk, and spices

它们不仅用来载客，还用来运输咖啡、茶叶、丝绸和香料等货物。

旁白 neutral

In fact, steamers have allowed global trade to increase quite rapidly since they were first used in the early 1800s

旁白 neutral

Today steamers come in all shapes and sizes, and sail on canals, rivers, and oceans

旁白 neutral

They can travel large distances cheaply and safely
