And, contrary to custom, it executed such a maneuver several times during that day of January 19. The chief officer would then climb onto the platform, and his usual phrase would ring through the ship's interior.
这种方式跟往常不同，在1月19日这一天做了好几次。船副这时又到了平台上，他习惯说的那句话又在船里面听到了。
As for Captain Nemo, he didn't appear. Of the other men on board, I saw only my emotionless steward, who served me with his usual mute efficiency.
至于尼摩船长，他并没有出来。船上人员，我只看见那冷冰冰的管事人，他跟平常一样，准时地，默不作声地给我开饭。
Near two o'clock I was busy organizing my notes in the lounge, when the captain opened the door and appeared. I bowed to him. He gave me an almost imperceptible bow in return, without saying a word to me. I resumed my work, hoping he might give me some explanation of the previous afternoon's events. He did nothing of the sort. I stared at him. His face looked exhausted; his reddened eyes hadn't been refreshed by sleep; his facial features expressed profound sadness, real chagrin. He walked up and down, sat and stood, picked up a book at random, discarded it immediately, consulted his instruments without taking his customary notes, and seemed unable to rest easy for an instant.
两点左右，我在客厅中，正在整理我的笔记，尼摩船长打开门进来了。我向他行个礼。他回答我一个礼，这是一种差不多看不出来的礼，一句话也没有说。我继续做我的工作，心中希望他对于昨夜的特殊事件可能给我解释一下。但他一声不响。我注视他看来他的面容好像很疲乏的样子：他的眼睛发红，睡眠没有让它们恢复过来：他的脸色表示深深的忧愁，真实的苦痛。他走来走去，坐下去，站起来，随意拿起一本书，立即又放下，看看他的各种器械，但不作经常要作的记录，好像一刻都不能安静下来的样子。
Finally he came over to me and said:
后来他向我这边走来了，他问我：
Are you a physician, Professor Aronnax?
阿龙纳斯先生，您是医生吗？
This inquiry was so unexpected that I stared at him a good while without replying.
我真没想到他忽然提出这一问题，我看他一下，没有立刻答复他。
Are you a physician? he repeated. Several of your scientific colleagues took their degrees in medicine, such as Gratiolet, Moquin-Tandon, and others.
您是医生吗？他又说，您的好些同事，像格拉地奥列，摩甘一唐东，以及其他的人都曾经学过医。
That's right, I said, I am a doctor, I used to be on call at the hospitals. I was in practice for several years before joining the museum.
不错，我说，我是大夫和住院医生。我到博物馆当教授之前，曾经行医好凡年。
