Then it reappeared on the other side of the ship, either by circling around us or by gliding under our hull.
不久它又在戰艦的另一邊出現了，可能是繞過來的，也可能是從船底下潛水過來的。
At any instant a collision could have occurred that would have been fatal to us.
時時刻刻，都有可能給我們致命的打擊。
Meanwhile I was astonished at the frigate's maneuvers. It was fleeing, not fighting.
可是我們的戰艦的行動使我莫名其妙。它在逃，并不去攻擊。
Built to pursue, it was being pursued, and I commented on this to Commander Farragut.
它本應該追逐怪物的，現在反而被追逐了，我于是向法拉古艦長提出意見。
His face, ordinarily so emotionless, was stamped with indescribable astonishment.
法拉古艦長的面孔，通常是很冷靜的，現在卻顯得萬分慌張。
Professor Aronnax, he answered me, I don't know what kind of fearsome creature I'm up against, and I don't want my frigate running foolish risks in all this darkness.
阿龍納斯先生，他回答我，我沒摸清楚我所要對付的這怪物到底厲害到什么程度，我不愿意在這么一片黑暗中，隨便讓戰艦去冒險。
Besides, how should we attack this unknown creature, how should we defend ourselves against it?
再說，怎樣來攻擊這個神秘東西呢，又怎樣來防御這東西呢？
Let's wait for daylight, and then we'll play a different role.
我們等到天亮，情況便不同了。
You've no further doubts, commander, as to the nature of this animal?
艦長，您現在對于這個動物的性質沒有什么疑惑了嗎？
No, sir, it's apparently a gigantic narwhale, and an electric one to boot.
沒有疑惑了，先生，明明白白，這是一條巨大的獨角鯨，同時又是一條帶電的獨角鯨。
