旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg and Aouda set out for a drive through the countryside around Singapore

福格先生和艾娥达动身去坐车游览新加坡周围的乡间。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout noticed Fix following them and laughed quietly at the detective's elaborate efforts to keep out of their sight

路路通注意到菲克斯在跟踪他们，暗自对这位侦探煞费苦心想避开他们视线感到好笑。

旁白 neutral

While they were gone, Passepartout went about his usual errands

他们外出的时候，路路通去办平日的那些差事了。

旁白 neutral

At eleven o'clock, they were all back on board the Rangoon

十一点钟，他们全都回到了仰光号上。

旁白 neutral

The ship sailed out of Singapore harbor

轮船驶出了新加坡港。

旁白 neutral

In a few hours, the high mountains of Malacca, with their forests inhabited by beautifully furred tigers, were lost to view

几个小时后，马六甲的高山，连同林中那些皮毛美丽的老虎，便从视野中消失了。

旁白 neutral

Phileas Fogg hoped they would reach Hong Kong in six days, arriving on November 5

菲利亚斯·福格希望他们能在六天内到达香港，于十一月五日抵达。

旁白 neutral

A steamer for Yokohama left Hong Kong on November 6, and Fogg intended to be on it

一艘开往横滨的轮船会在十一月六日离开香港，福格打算乘坐它。

旁白 neutral

The weather, which had been fine so far, changed soon after they left Singapore

之前一直很好的天气，在他们离开新加坡后不久就变了。

旁白 neutral

The sea rolled heavily, and the wind rose almost to a storm

大海波涛汹涌，风势几乎增强到了暴风的程度。

旁白 neutral

The voyage was rough, but luckily, the wind blew from the southwest, and the steamer sped forward. Passepartout was very impatient

航行很颠簸，但幸亏刮的是西南风，轮船飞速前进。路路通非常不耐烦。

旁白 neutral

" You are in a great hurry then," Fix said to him one day," to reach Hong Kong?"

“那你一定很着急，”一天菲克斯对他说，“急着赶到香港吧？”

旁白 neutral

" A very great hurry!" replied Passepartout

“特别着急！”路路通回答。

旁白 neutral

" Mr. Fogg, I suppose, is anxious to catch the steamer for Yokohama?" asked Fix

“我猜，福格先生是急着赶去横滨的轮船吧？”菲克斯问。

旁白 neutral

" Terribly anxious," said Passepartout

“心急如焚。”路路通说。

旁白 neutral

" You believe he is making a journey around the world then?" asked Fix

“那么，你相信他是在做环球旅行？”菲克斯问。

旁白 neutral

" Absolutely," said Passepartout." Don't you, Fix?"

“当然，”路路通说，“你不相信吗，菲克斯？”

旁白 neutral

" Me?" asked Fix." I don't believe a word of it."

“我？”菲克斯说，“我一个字也不信。”

旁白 neutral

" You're a sly dog!" said Passepartout, winking at him

“你真是个滑头！”路路通冲他眨了眨眼说。

旁白 neutral

This expression disturbed Fix." Has the Frenchman guessed my real purpose?" he wondered

这句话让菲克斯不安起来。“这个法国佬难道猜到了我的真实目的？”他心想。

旁白 neutral

He was puzzled and, after excusing himself, descended to his cabin

他百思不得其解，道了声歉后，便下到自己的船舱去了。

旁白 neutral

Somehow, Fix realized, the Frenchman had found out that Fix was a detective

菲克斯意识到，那个法国人不知怎的，已经发现他是个侦探了。

旁白 neutral

From the very beginning of their voyage, Phileas Fogg had been completely indifferent to his surroundings

从旅程一开始，菲利亚·福格就对周遭环境完全无动于衷。

旁白 neutral

Aouda's charm had failed to change Mr. Fogg's behavior one bit

艾娥达的魅力也丝毫没能改变福格先生的行事风格。

旁白 neutral

Every day Passepartout was surprised by Mr. Fogg's cool manner toward Aouda

每天，路路通都对福格先生对待艾娥达的冷淡态度感到惊讶。

旁白 neutral

It was obvious to Passepartout that Aouda felt a deep gratitude to him for saving her life

在路路通看来，艾娥达显然对福格先生的救命之恩深怀感激。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout was beginning to think his master was quite heartless indeed

路路通开始觉得，他的主人实在是有点铁石心肠。

旁白 neutral

Aouda was also wondering how Mr. Fogg could remain so robot-like, even in her presence

艾娥达也在纳闷，福格先生怎么能始终像机械人一样，即便她在场也毫无改变。

旁白 neutral

As the Rangoon approached the end of its journey, the rough weather grew worse

当仰光号接近旅程终点时，恶劣的天气变得更糟了。

旁白 neutral

The wind turned to blow from the northwest, and the steamer fell behind schedule

风向转为西北风，轮船的行程也因此慢了半拍。

旁白 neutral

On November 3, a tempest tossed the steamer with a fury

十一月三日，一场暴风雨猛烈地袭击了轮船。

旁白 neutral

The captain estimated that they would reach Hong Kong twenty hours behind schedule

船长估计，他们将比预定时间晚二十个小时抵达香港。

旁白 neutral

Phileas Fogg stood at the ship's rail, gazing at the stormy sea with his usual tranquility

菲利亚斯·福格站在船舷边，以他一贯的平静凝视着波涛汹涌的大海。

旁白 neutral

Aouda was amazed to find him as calm as the day she had first seen him

艾娥达惊讶地发现，他和她当初见到他那天一样镇定。

旁白 neutral

His expression didn't change, not for an instant, even though a delay of twenty hours would make him too late to catch the steamer to Yokohama

他的表情一刻也没有变，哪怕延误二十个小时会让他赶不上去横滨的轮船。

旁白 neutral

If he missed the steamer, he would likely lose his wager

如果他错过了那班船，他很可能就会输掉他的打赌。

旁白 neutral

Fix viewed the storm in a different light

菲克斯对这场暴风雨的看法却不同。

旁白 neutral

Any delay would give the warrant more time to reach Hong Kong

任何延误都会让逮捕令有更多时间送抵香港。

旁白 neutral

And if Mr. Fogg missed the boat for Yokohama, he would be obliged to remain some days in Hong Kong

而且，如果福格先生错过了去横滨的船，他就不得不在香港逗留些时日。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout, on the other hand, was enraged beyond expression by the difficult weather

另一方面，路路通却因为这恶劣天气而怨愤难言。

旁白 neutral

Everything had gone so well until now!

之前一切都那么顺利！

旁白 neutral

Throughout the worst of the wind, rain, and waves, he remained on deck, working with the crew

在狂风、暴雨和巨浪最猛烈的时候，他一直待在甲板上，和船员们一起工作，

旁白 neutral

pitching in wherever he could to help the Rangoon's progress through the storm

尽己所能地搭手帮忙，让仰光号在风暴中破浪前行。

旁白 neutral

On November 4 the sea calmed, the wind turned favorable, and the steamer made good progress again

11月4日，海面平静下来，风向好转，轮船再次顺利前进。

旁白 neutral

Land was sighted on the morning of November 6. They were 24 hours behind schedule

11月6日早晨，陆地映入眼帘。他们已经比预定时间晚了24小时。

旁白 neutral

A harbor captain sailed out to meet the Rangoon, to guide its captain through the channels and islands around the port of Hong Kong

一位港口领航员驾船出来迎接仰光号，引导船长穿过香港港口周围的海峡和岛屿。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg did not hesitate to approach the harbor captain and ask about the steamer to Yokohama

福格先生毫不犹豫地走近那位领航员，询问前往横滨的轮船。

旁白 neutral

" The Carnatic leaves at high tide tomorrow morning," said the captain

“卡尔纳蒂克号明早涨潮时启航。”领航员说。

旁白 neutral

" The steamer had to have one of its boilers repaired so its departure was postponed until tomorrow."

“那艘船的一个锅炉需要修理，所以启航推迟到了明天。”

旁白 neutral

" Ah, thank you," said Mr. Fogg, without betraying any astonishment

“啊，谢谢。”福格先生说道，没有流露出丝毫惊讶。

旁白 neutral

At one o'clock the Rangoon was at the quay

一点钟时，仰光号停靠在码头边。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg led Aouda to the Club Hotel and reserved a room for the young woman

福格先生带着艾娥达去了俱乐部酒店，并为这位年轻女士预订了一个房间。

旁白 neutral

After seeing that she had everything she needed, he set out in search of her wealthy relative, Jeejeeh

确认她一切安顿妥当后，他便出发去寻找她那位富有的亲戚，杰吉先生。

旁白 neutral

When Mr. Fogg returned to the hotel, he told her what he had learned

当福格先生回到酒店时，他把自己打听到的情况告诉了她。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Jeejeeh had left China two years earlier. He had retired with his immense fortune and taken up residence in Holland

杰吉先生两年前就离开了中国。他带着巨额财富退休，并在荷兰定居了。

旁白 neutral

In her sweet, soft voice, Aouda asked," What should I do, Mr. Fogg?"

艾娥达用她那甜美轻柔的声音问道：“我该怎么办呢，福格先生？”

旁白 neutral

" It is very simple," he said." Come to Europe."

“很简单，”他说，“跟我去欧洲。”

旁白 neutral

Aouda was surprised." But I cannot intrude — "

艾娥达很惊讶。“可是我不能这样打扰您——”

旁白 neutral

" You do not intrude, nor do you delay, my project in the least. Passepartout!" he called

“你并没有打扰，也丝毫没有耽搁我的计划。路路通！”他喊道。

旁白 neutral

" Monsieur?" said Passepartout

“先生？”路路通应声道。

旁白 neutral

" Go to the Carnatic and reserve three cabins."

“去卡尔纳蒂克号，订三个舱位。”

旁白 neutral

We have arrived in Hong Kong, and let me tell you, it is a bustling city!

我们已经抵达香港，让我告诉你，这是一座非常繁华的城市！

旁白 neutral

The name " Hong Kong " means " fragrant harbor," and its own harbor was once surrounded by flowering trees

“香港”这个名字的意思是“芳香之港”，它的海港曾经被开花的树木环绕。

旁白 neutral

Hong Kong consists of three main areas─Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories

香港主要由三个区域组成──香港岛、九龙半岛和新界。

旁白 neutral

So Hong Kong is bigger than most people think, with 236 islands in total

所以香港比大多数人想象的要大，总共有236个岛屿。

旁白 neutral

In 1834 Britain attacked China and demanded the country give Hong Kong to Britain

1834年，英国攻打中国，并要求将香港割让给英国。

旁白 neutral

China refused but did allow Britain to lease Hong Kong

中国拒绝了，但确实允许英国租借香港。

旁白 neutral

I find that rather strange, don't you? A country being " rented " to another country?

我觉得这相当奇怪，你不觉得吗？一个国家被“租”给另一个国家？

旁白 neutral

Maybe you're wondering why the British want Hong Kong for a colony

也许你好奇为什么英国想要把香港作为殖民地。

旁白 neutral

Well, it's mostly because Hong Kong is a massive trading port between East and West

嗯，这主要是因为香港是东西方之间的一个巨大贸易港口，

旁白 neutral

and it acts as the gateway from America to Asia, and from Europe to Asia

并且它扮演着从美洲到亚洲，以及从欧洲到亚洲的门户角色。
