In 1863, Professor Otto Lindenbrock found a secret message in an old book he had recently bought.
1863年,教授奧拓·林登布朗克在他新買的一本古書中發現了一個秘密信息。
The message spoke of a trip to the centre of the Earth through a volcano in Iceland.
這個信息講到了去地心的旅行,入口是冰島的一個火山口。
Immediately, he got his things packed and went to iceland, forcing his nephew Axel to go with him.
于是,他立即收拾了行李去冰島,強迫他的侄子阿克斯爾和他一起去。
In Iceland, the Professor hired a guide named Hans. When the three of them reached the volcano, they journeyed underground through a small cave.
在冰島,教授雇了一名導游,漢斯。這三個人到達火山口,通過一個小洞穴開始了地下旅行。
After many days, they came to a vast room with a large ocean inside.
多天以后,他們到達一處非常廣闊的空間,那里還有個巨大的海洋。
On the shore of this ocean, there was a forest and huge mushrooms.
在這片海的岸邊上,有一處森林和很多巨大的蘑菇。
High above, the sky was filled with gas that gave off light like the sun.
高處,天空充斥的天然氣,像太陽一樣釋放著光芒。
The three men built a small boat and set sail.
三個人造了一艘小船,開始航行。
All of a sudden, two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other.
突然,兩只恐龍出現在海面上,開始互相撕斗。
The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs before they were able to get away.
等到他們離開之前,小船被恐龍撞得幾乎就要沉了。
