船上客舱已被预订一空，只有船尾的两个特等舱还空着，那是为福克先生和艾娥达夫人预留的。

Shortly after Fix had left Passepartout in the opium den, two waiters lifted him to the bed reserved for smokers

菲克斯把路路通留在鸦片馆后不久，两个侍者就把他抬到了为吸烟者预留的床上。

Three hours later he woke up and fought off the hypnotic influence of the drug

He hurried to the steamer and, when he reached his room onboard, immediately passed out

When Passepartout woke up the next morning, he staggered onto the deck, wondering what Mr. Fogg would say

第二天早上路路通醒来时，他踉踉跄跄地走上甲板，心想福克先生会怎么说。

旁白 neutral

" At least I didn't miss the steamer, which is the most important thing!" he said to himself, as he sipped some strong black coffee

“至少我没误了轮船，这才是最要紧的！”他一边喝着浓黑咖啡，一边自言自语道。

旁白 neutral

Passepartout suddenly thought of Fix and how the man had left him in the tavern

路路通突然想起了菲克斯，想起那人是如何把他丢在小酒馆里的。

旁白 neutral

" As for that rascal, I hope we are rid of him," he said

“至于那个混蛋，但愿我们已经摆脱他了，”他说道。

旁白 neutral

" A detective on the track of Mr. Fogg, accusing my master of robbing the Bank of England — ridiculous! Mr. Fogg is not a robber."

“一个追踪福克先生的侦探，竟指控我的主人抢劫了英格兰银行——真是荒谬！福克先生绝不是什么盗贼。”

旁白 neutral

Passepartout finished his breakfast and then descended to the staterooms

路路通用完了早餐，然后下到特等舱去。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg and Aouda were nowhere to be found! There was no luggage... nothing

Passepartout wondered if he was even on the right ship

路路通怀疑自己是不是上错了船。

旁白 neutral

He rushed to the purser and asked," Am I on the Carnatic?"

他冲到事务长面前，问道：“我是在卡纳蒂克号上吗？”

" May I look at the passenger list?" asked Passepartout

“我可以看一下乘客名单吗？”路路通问道。

旁白 neutral

旁白 neutral

When he had read every name, Passepartout fell thunderstruck on a seat

当看完所有名字后，路路通如遭雷击，跌坐在座位上。

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg and Aouda were not on the passenger list! Now he realized what had happened

旁白 neutral

He tore at his hair and vowed that, if he ever saw Fix again, he would even the score with him indeed!

他扯着自己的头发，发誓如果再见到菲克斯，一定要找他算账！

After his anger calmed, Passepartout thought through his situation

It was certainly not an attractive one

旁白 neutral

At dawn on November 13, the Carnatic reached the port of Yokohama

Passepartout went ashore. He had nothing better to do than wander aimlessly through the city

旁白 neutral

In the crowded streets, he saw all sorts of people: priests in white robes, police officers with black pointed hats

sailors in blue cotton, and royal guards in stiff armor with long thin swords on their backs

旁白 neutral

By the next morning, hunger gnawed at Passepartout's empty stomach

第二天早上，饥饿折磨着路路通空空的肚子。

旁白 neutral

With no money, he thought of selling his precious family watch but changed his mind. He would rather starve first!

Passepartout immediately found a food stand and ate what little breakfast he could afford

路路通立刻找到个小吃摊，凑合着吃了顿他买得起的早饭。

旁白 neutral

" Now," he thought to himself," I mustn't lose my head. I must consider how I am going to feed myself."

“现在，”他想，“我不能乱了方寸。我得想想该怎么养活自己。”

旁白 neutral

He walked toward the docks, having decided that passengers from visiting steamers would be the most generous customers

他朝码头走去，心想来自外洋轮船的乘客，肯定是最慷慨的顾客。

On the way he was surprised to see a sign in English
