Guided by his skillful hands, the Nautilus passed by all these different masses of ice, which are classified by size and shape with a precision that enraptured Conseil:
諾第留斯號由這只妙手指揮，就這樣走過了所有這些大冰塊：按照冰塊的式樣大小，康塞爾可以很高興地正確把它們分類，那就是：
icebergs, or mountains; ice fields, or smooth, limitless tracts; drift ice, or floating floes; packs, or broken tracts, called patches when they're circular and streams when they form long strips.
像山的冰山，冰田或無邊際的平坦田場，浮冰或漂流的冰，層冰或碎裂的冰田，圓形環(huán)彎的稱為冰圈，拉長一塊一塊的稱為冰流。溫度表放在外面，指著零下二度至三度。但我們穿著皮的衣服。
The temperature was fairly low.
溫度相當?shù)牡停?/div>
Exposed to the outside air, the thermometer marked -2 degrees to-3 degrees centigrade.
溫度表放在外面，指著零下二度至三度。
But we were warmly dressed in furs, for which seals and aquatic bears had paid the price.
但我們穿著皮的衣服。很暖和。這些皮是海豹和海熊供應我們的。
Evenly heated by all its electric equipment, the Nautilus's interior defied the most intense cold.
諾第留斯號內部經常有電氣機發(fā)熱，不怕嚴寒；
Moreover, to find a bearable temperature, the ship had only to sink just a few meters beneath the waves.
并且，要得到使人可以受得住的溫度，到達不太寒不太熱的所在，那它只需潛下水底幾米深就成了。
Two months earlier we would have enjoyed perpetual daylight in this latitude; but night already fell for three or four hours, and later it would cast six months of shadow over these circumpolar regions.
早兩個月，在這緯度內，可能永遠是白天，但現(xiàn)在已經有三至四小時的黑夜了，再遲一些，黑夜就要長到六個月。把它的陰影遮蓋這些環(huán)極圈地方。
On March 15 we passed beyond the latitude of the South Shetland and South Orkney Islands.
3月15日，南設德蘭群島和南奧克內群島的緯度走過了。
The captain told me that many tribes of seals used to inhabit these shores;
8月16日早晨八點，諾第留斯號沿著西經55度行駛。
but English and American whalers, in a frenzy of destruction, slaughtered all the adults, including pregnant females, and where life and activity once existed, those fishermen left behind only silence and death.
過南極圈駛去。這里處處都是冰塊圍繞著我們，四邊封起，無路可通。
