Some of the passengers were wounded, but Aouda was safe and unharmed

Phileas Fogg had not received a scratch, and Fix was only slightly wounded on his arm

They had all been lucky. Colonel Proctor was the person most gravely injured, having been shot through the thigh

It was soon discovered, however, that three passengers were missing, including the brave Frenchman, Passepartout

然而，大家很快发现有三名乘客失踪了，其中包括那位勇敢的法国人，万能钥匙。

旁白 neutral

The passengers looked around. The clouds were low and snow had begun to fall in earnest

The windows of the train were broken, and blood stained the dirt around the tracks. Aouda's face was wet with tears

" Ah, Mr. Fogg!" Aouda cried, holding his hands

"啊，福克先生！"艾娥达喊着，握住了他的手。

旁白 neutral

" I hope it will be living," he added." But we must not lose a moment."

"我希望他还活着，"他补充道。"但我们必须争分夺秒。"

旁白 neutral

With this resolution, Phileas Fogg had decided to sacrifice his fortune

旁白 neutral

The delay of a single day would make him miss the steamer at New York and lose his wager

旁白 neutral

But his thought was," It is my duty."

但他心想："这是我的职责所在。"

Mr. Fogg approached the commanding officer of the fort and said," Sir, three passengers have disappeared."

福克先生走到要塞的指挥官面前，说道："长官，有三名乘客失踪了。"

旁白 neutral

" Dead?" asked the captain

"死了吗？"上尉问道。

旁白 neutral

" Dead or prisoners, it is uncertain. Do you plan to pursue the Indians?

“生死未卜，或是被俘，尚未可知。你打算去追击那些印第安人吗？”

旁白 neutral

The lives of three men are in question," said Mr. Fogg

“三条人命正悬于一线。”福克先生说。

旁白 neutral

" Can I risk the lives of fifty men to save three?" the officer asked

" I don't know whether you can, sir, but you should!" said Mr. Fogg

旁白 neutral

" Nobody here has the right to teach me my duty!" said the captain

“这里轮不到任何人来教我怎么尽忠职守！”上尉说道。

旁白 neutral

" Fine," said Mr. Fogg." Then I will go alone."

“也罢。”福克先生说，“那我一个人去。”

旁白 neutral

Upon hearing this, Fix exclaimed," You, sir! All alone in pursuit of the Indians?"

费克斯一听，惊呼道：“您，先生！竟要孤身一人去追击那些印第安人？”

旁白 neutral

" I will not leave these men to die. I will go," said Mr. Fogg

“我绝不会抛下他们等死。我必须去。”福克先生说。

旁白 neutral

" You are a brave man, sir," declared the captain." You will not go alone."

“您真是一位勇士，先生。”上尉宣告道，“我们绝不会让您独行。”

Turning to his soldiers, he asked for thirty volunteers

Mr. Fogg then turned to Fix and said," I wish to ask you a favor

旁白 neutral

Please remain with Aouda until I return. In case anything should happen to me..."

请在我回来之前陪着艾娥达。万一我出了什么事……”

旁白 neutral

Fix's face went pale. Separate himself from the man he had followed so closely for so long?

菲克斯脸色发白。离开这个他紧追了这么久的人吗？

旁白 neutral

Let Mr. Fogg wander the desert chasing Indians? How could he?

让福克先生跑到沙漠里去追印第安人？他怎么能这么做？

Fix looked at Mr. Fogg. The gentleman's gaze was calm and frank

菲克斯看向福克先生。这位绅士的目光平静而坦诚。

旁白 neutral

Fix lowered his eyes and said," I will stay."

旁白 neutral

A few moments later, Mr. Fogg pressed Aouda's hand

片刻之后，福克先生握了握艾娥达的手。

旁白 neutral

He handed her his precious carpetbag and went off with the sergeant and his squad to mount their horses

Just before they rode off, Mr. Fogg faced the soldiers and said

旁白 neutral

" My friends, I will divide five-thousand dollars among you if we save the prisoners."

“朋友们，如果我们救出俘虏，我会分给你们五千美元。”

旁白 neutral

It was then a little past noon

旁白 neutral

Aouda retired to the waiting room, where she sat alone, thinking of the generosity and tranquil courage of Phileas Fogg

艾娥达退到候车室，独自坐在那里，回想着斐利亚·福克的慷慨和沉静的勇气。

旁白 neutral

Fix did not have the same thoughts, however, and could scarcely conceal his agitation

旁白 neutral

" I have been an idiot — an idiot to let him go alone!

“我真是个白痴——一个让他独自前往的白痴！

旁白 neutral

I have let him out of my sight!" he said to himself

我竟然让他离开了我的视线！”他自言自语道。

旁白 neutral

He walked feverishly up and down the platform, but after a while he regained his outward composure

他焦躁不安地在月台上走来走去，但过了一会儿，他恢复了表面上的镇定。

旁白 neutral

The hours crept by slowly. Aouda was paralyzed with the fear that Mr. Fogg would never return and that she would be alone in the world once again

时间缓慢流逝。艾娥达因害怕福克先生再也回不来、而她自己又将孤独在世而呆若木鸡。

旁白 neutral

Toward two o'clock that afternoon, long whistles were heard approaching from the east

下午将近两点时，从东边传来了长长的汽笛声，越来越近。

旁白 neutral

It was the train's runaway engine, which had continued down the rails until the engineer regained consciousness and reversed its course

原来是那列火车脱缰的火车头，它沿着铁轨继续行驶，直到司机恢复意识后才调转了方向。

旁白 neutral

Most of the passengers were happy to see the engine resume its place at the head of the train. Now they could continue their journey

大多数乘客看到火车头重新回到列车前端都很高兴。现在他们可以继续旅行了。

旁白 neutral

But Aouda desperately pleaded with the engineer to wait for Mr. Fogg and the other missing passengers

但艾娥达拼命恳求司机等一下福克先生和其他失踪的乘客。

旁白 neutral

" I cannot interrupt the trip," replied the engineer." We are already three hours behind."

“我不能中断行程，”司机回答道，“我们已经晚点三个小时了。”

旁白 neutral

" And when will another train pass here from San Francisco?" she asked

“那从旧金山来的下一趟列车什么时候会经过这里？”她问道。

旁白 neutral

" Tomorrow evening, madam."

“明天晚上，夫人。”

旁白 neutral

" Well then, I will wait," said Aouda

“那好吧，我等。”艾娥达说。

旁白 neutral

" I will remain with her," said Mr. Fix

“我留下来陪她，”菲克斯先生说。

旁白 neutral

" I will make sure no harm comes to her while we wait."

“在我们等待期间，我会确保她安然无恙。”

旁白 neutral

The engineer then boarded the train, blew a farewell whistle, and the train slowly moved off across the snowy plain

然后，司炉工登上火车，鸣响告别汽笛，火车缓缓驶离，穿越白雪覆盖的平原。

旁白 neutral

Didn't anybody hear me the first time? I'm still here, captured by Indians

难道第一次没人听见我吗？我还在这儿呢，被印第安人抓了。

旁白 neutral

Okay, I'll yell louder. Help! Help! Somebody, help me!

好吧，我得再大声喊。救命！救命！谁来救救我！

旁白 neutral

The Indians startled me, but it's not at all surprising that our train was attacked because we are traveling across America during the Indian Wars

那些印第安人吓了我一跳，但我们的火车遭到袭击一点儿也不奇怪，因为我们穿越美国时正值印第安战争时期。

旁白 neutral

These are violent conflicts between Native American tribes and American settlers

这是美洲原住民部落和美国定居者之间的暴力冲突。

旁白 neutral

I am told that the Indian Wars are occurring because white Americans have taken over Native American land

我听说，印第安战争的发生是因为美国白人夺走了美洲原住民的土地，

旁白 neutral

and broken special agreements called treaties

并且破坏了被称为条约的特殊协议。

旁白 neutral

Many Native American leaders, or chiefs, are becoming known for their bravery and intelligence

许多美洲原住民领袖，也就是酋长，正因其英勇和智慧而闻名。

旁白 neutral

I have heard stories about two chiefs in particular — Sitting Bull and Red Cloud — who are leading efforts against the white men

我特别听说过关于两位酋长的故事——坐牛和红云——他们正领导着对抗白人的行动。

旁白 neutral

We'll see how these wars turn out... I hope the violence ends soon

我们拭目以待这些战争的结果吧……希望暴力早日结束。

旁白 neutral

In the meantime... Help me!

而与此同时……救救我！
