The way he said this, the unexpectedness of this scene,  尼摩船长这位怪人在这个意外的场合，

first the biography of this patriotic ship, 首先平叙了这艘爱国船只的历史，

then the excitement with which this eccentric individual pronounced these last words, 然后充满激情地说出最后几句话。

the name Avenger whose significance could not escape me, “复仇号”，这个名字，它的意思不言而明，

all this, taken together, had a profound impact on my mind. 所有这一切合在一起，深深地打动了我的心，

My eyes never left the captain. 我的眼睛一直凝视着船长。

Hands outstretched toward the sea, he contemplated the proud wreck with blazing eyes. 尼摩船长把两手伸向大海，目光炽热地注视着那艘光荣的船骸。

Perhaps I would never learn who he was, where he came from or where he was heading, 这时，我想，或许我从来没有知道过他是谁，他从哪里来，要到哪里去；

but more and  more I could see a distinction between the man and the scientist. 但我越来，越清楚地看出，这个人不是一位学者；

It was no ordinary misanthropy that kept Captain Nemo and his companions sequestered inside the Nautilus's plating, 而且，不是一种普通的愤世嫉俗的情绪，把他和他的同伴关在“鹦鹉，螺号”船里的，

but a hate so monstrous or so sublime that the passing years could never weaken it. 而是一种时间无法磨逝的崇高的深仇大恨。

Did this hate also hunger for vengeance? 这种仇恨还在寻求报复吗？

Time would soon tell. 不久的将来我会知道的。

Meanwhile the Nautilus rose slowly to the surface of the sea, 然而，“鹦鹉螺号”慢慢地浮出水面，

and I watched the Avenger's murky shape disappearing little by little. 我看着“复仇号”船只模糊的身影慢慢地消失了。

Soon a gentle rolling told me that we were afloat in the open air. 过了一会，一阵微微的晃动说明我们浮到了海面上了。

Just then a hollow explosion was audible. 这时，我听到了一声沉闷的爆炸声。

I looked at the captain. 我看了看船长。

The captain did not stir. 他纹丝不动。
