海底兩萬(wàn)里 第148期 第10章 水中人(19)

It's an immense wilderness where a man is never lonely, because he feels life astir on every side.

在這汪洋浩瀚的大海中，人們不是孤獨(dú)的，園為他們感到在自己周?chē)幪幎加猩陬潉?dòng);

The sea is simply the vehicle for a prodigious, unearthly mode of existence; it's simply movement and love;

海之為物是超越的、神妙的生存之乘輿;海是動(dòng)，海是愛(ài)，

it's living infinity, as one of your poets put it. And in essence, professor, nature is here made manifest by all three of her kingdoms, mineral, vegetable, and animal.

正像你們法國(guó)一位大詩(shī)人所說(shuō)的，它是長(zhǎng)存的生命。的確，教授，自然界在海中也同樣有動(dòng)物、植物、礦物三類(lèi)。

The last of these is amply represented by the four zoophyte groups, three classes of articulates, five classes of mollusks, and three vertebrate classes:

動(dòng)物在海中可以大量地繁殖，主要的有腔腸動(dòng)物四類(lèi)，節(jié)肢動(dòng)物三類(lèi)，軟體動(dòng)物五類(lèi)，脊椎動(dòng)物三類(lèi)，

mammals, reptiles, and those countless legions of fish, an infinite order of animals totaling more than 13,000 species, of which only one-tenth belong to fresh water.

即哺乳類(lèi)，爬蟲(chóng)類(lèi)和成群無(wú)數(shù)的魚(yú)類(lèi)。魚(yú)類(lèi)是動(dòng)物中無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的一目…共有一萬(wàn)三千多種，其中只有十分之一是在淡水中。

The sea is a vast pool of nature. Our globe began with the sea, so to speak, and who can say we won't end with it! Here lies supreme tranquility.

海是大自然的倉(cāng)庫(kù)?？梢哉f(shuō)，地球是從海開(kāi)始的，誰(shuí)知道將來(lái)地球不是歸給于海呢!海中有無(wú)比和平的環(huán)境。

The sea doesn't belong to tyrants.

海不屬于壓迫者。
