Indeed, despite its efforts, despite the powerful methods it used to split this ice, the Nautilus was reduced to immobility.
的確，不管它怎樣努力，不管它用來(lái)沖破冰塊的力量有多強(qiáng)大，諾第留斯號(hào)終歸弄得紋絲不動(dòng)。
Ordinarily, when someone can't go any farther, he still has the option of returning in his tracks.
平常，要是不能前進(jìn)，那就可以退回去。
But here it was just as impossible to turn back as to go forward, because every passageway had closed behind us, and if our submersible remained even slightly stationary, it would be frozen in without delay.
但現(xiàn)在，后退跟前進(jìn)一樣不可能，因?yàn)樗吩谖覀冏哌^(guò)后就封閉了，只要我們的船略為停一下不動(dòng)，它就立刻被抓擋住，寸步都不能移動(dòng)。
Which is exactly what happened near two o'clock in the afternoon, and fresh ice kept forming over the ship's sides with astonishing speed.
下午兩點(diǎn)左右發(fā)生這樣的一種情形，新的冰層驚人迅速地在船兩邊凍給起來(lái)。
I had to admit that Captain Nemo's leadership had been most injudicious.
我現(xiàn)在要承認(rèn)，尼摩船長(zhǎng)是太粗率、太不謹(jǐn)慎了。
Just then I was on the platform. Observing the situation for some while, the captain said to me:
我正在乎臺(tái)上，船長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)在那里觀察形勢(shì)有一些時(shí)候了，他對(duì)我說(shuō)：
Well, professor! What think you?
那么，教授，您想怎樣？
I think we're trapped, captain.
我想；船長(zhǎng)，我們是被困住了。
Trapped! What do you mean?
被困住了！您這話怎么說(shuō)？
I mean we can't go forward, backward, or sideways.
我是說(shuō)，我們不能前進(jìn)，不能后退，不能向任何一方行動(dòng)。
I think that's the standard definition of 'trapped,' at least in the civilized world.
我想，這就是叫做被困住了，至少對(duì)于居住在陸地上的人來(lái)說(shuō)是這樣。
So, Professor Aronnax, you think the Nautilus won't be able to float clear?
阿龍納斯先生，您就是這樣想，諾第留斯號(hào)不可能脫身嗎？
Only with the greatest difficulty, captain, since the season is already too advanced for you to depend on an ice breakup.
很不容易，船長(zhǎng)，因?yàn)榧竞蛞呀?jīng)相當(dāng)晚，解凍，我們是不能指望的了。
Oh, professor, Captain Nemo replied in an ironic tone, you never change!
啊！教授，尼摩船長(zhǎng)帶譏諷的語(yǔ)氣回答，您老是這一套！
You see only impediments and obstacles! I promise you, not only will the Nautilus float clear, it will go farther still!
您只看見(jiàn)困難和障礙！我現(xiàn)在向您肯定說(shuō)，不僅諾第留斯號(hào)可以脫身，而且它還要前進(jìn)。
Farther south?
再向南方前進(jìn)嗎？
I asked, gaping at the captain.
我眼釘著船長(zhǎng)問(wèn)。
