he, Aouda, Passepartout, and Mr. Fix were standing on the deck when the Henrietta lifted its anchor

旁白 neutral

What had happened was simple. Phileas Fogg wanted to go to Liverpool

Captain Speedy would not take him. So Mr. Fogg had bribed all the sailors, and they had switched their loyalty to him

旁白 neutral

It was clear, as he watched Mr. Fogg manage the craft, that Mr. Fogg had been a sailor

旁白 neutral

Therefore if the sea did not become too stormy, if the wind did not turn against them

if no accident happened to the boat or its machinery, the Henrietta would arrive in Liverpool in nine days, on December 21

Mr. Fogg asked Passepartout to bring Captain Speedy on deck. The captain appeared in a rage

旁白 neutral

" But I shall be obliged to burn her," said Mr. Fogg

旁白 neutral

Mr. Fogg managed to find us a boat to Liverpool, though I didn't expect him to become the captain!

福格先生总算是给咱们弄到了一条去利物浦的船，不过我可没料到他竟会当上船长！

Luckily, there were many boats traveling along the Hudson, one of the busiest rivers in the United States

As we rushed past, I would have liked to stop to paint the river too

But as you know, Mr. Fogg, was in quite a hurry to reach another body of water — the Atlantic Ocean!

但你也知道，福格先生当时正忙着赶赴另一片水域——大西洋！
