他们一行人 鼓抓了起来并帶到腊水艇内，在那里他们遇见J尼摩船长。这艘潜水艇是一个 超越时代的发明，并且一直是一个不为入知的秘离。为了保守这个秘密，尼摩船长告诚他的三位新乘客永远都不能离开这里。尽管内德.兰德一心想要逃离这里。尽管内德，兰德一心想要逃离这个地方，但阿龙纳斯与康塞尔已鼓他们在海底新世界的奇過深深吸引住了。下文改编自原著的一个章节，阿龙纳斯描述]他们在海底渔步的经历.
1 And now, how can I look back upon the impression left upon me by that walk under the waters? Words are not enough to relate such wonders! Captain Nemo walked in front, one of his men following some steps behind. Conseil and I remained near each other, as if an exchange of words had been possible
through our metal cases. 1 no longer felt the weight of my clothes, or of my
shoes, of my air supply, or my thick helmet, inside which my head shook like a
nut in its shell.
现在,我该如何追述水下漫步给我留下的印象呢?那种奇遇是语言无法描
述的!尼摩船长走在前面，他的一个随从紧随其后。我和康塞尔一直挨得
很近，近到好像能透过金属外壳听到彼此说话。我已经感觉不到衣服、鞋
子、氧气罐和厚重头盔的重量。我的头在头盔中摇来晃去，就像果仁在壳
里滚动一般。
2 The light, which lit the soil thirty feet below the surface of the ocean, astonished me by its power. The solar rays shone through the watery mass casily, and consumed all colour, and I clearly distinguished objects at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards. Beyond that the colours darkened into fine shades of deep blue, and gradually disappeared. Truly this water which surrounded me was but another air heavier than the Earth's atmosphere, but almost as clear.
光线照亮了海面以下30英尺的土地，这股力量使我震惊。阳光轻易地穿透水层，并消除了所有的色彩，我能清晰地辨认出150码以内的物体。在这个距离之外，颜色变深，呈现出深蓝色的阴影，逐渐看不到了。真的，环绕在我四周的水仿佛不过是一种气体，比地球的大气更稠密，却几乎一样透明。
2Above me was the calm surface of the sea. We were walking on fine, even sand, not wrinkled, as on a flat shore, which keeps the impression of the waves. This dazzling carpet, really a rflctor, drove away the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity, which accounted for the vibration which passed through every atom of liquid. Shall I be believed when I say that, at the depth of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight?
(Adaptation from Twety Thousand Leagucs Under the Sea by Judles Verne)
头顶上是平静的海面，脚下的沙地又细又平，并不像平坦的海滩会随着海浪而褶皱。这块令人目眩的地毯简直是一一个反射器，强有力地把阳光反射回去,光线所经之处的每个水分子都因此而振动。如果说在海面以下30英尺的地方，我能像在明亮的日光下一样看得清清楚楚，会有人相信么？
(节选自儒勒.凡尔纳的《海底两万里》)
