PART ONE CHAPTER ONE A Moving Island |
|
During the year 1866, the world was shocked to hear stories of a sea monster attacking several ships that passed through the oceans. The governments of many countries were quite interested in the matter. The monster was said to be much larger than a whale. Most agreed that the monster's shape was similar to that of a whale, however. Some declared the mysterious animal to be nearly two hundred feet long; others swore the monster was more than a mile long. On the 20th of J ul y 1866; a great ship was leaving India for Australia when it was hit by the mysterious animal, and sunk into the ocean, only five miles off the east coast of Australia. Just three days later, in the Pacific Ocean, the sea animal attacked another ship. Immediately after these frightening events, people allover the world were talking about the sea animal. Newspapers continually had new stories related to the monster, Scientists, news reporters, and many others wrote |

many pages about their views on the newly discovered sea monster. For six months, people talked of nothing but the mysterious animal. During the first months of the year 1867 , however, interest in the sea monster seemed to decline a great deal.. People were no longer curious to read about the sea monster, until the 5th of March 1867, when another ship, Canadian, had been hit. Now, however, people began to believe this sea monster was not an animal, but rather a small island in the sea that floated to various places in the ocean. The ship, though, had not been hit terribly; it returned to its port for repairs. Had the ship hit a rock under water? No one knew, but after a close examination, it was found that part of the ship's bottom was broken. As this ship's accident was not serious, it should have been forgotten. But three weeks later, another ship was again hit in the same manner. On the 13lh of April 1867, the second ship, a great British ship, was damaged, after speeding through the ocean. The ship was then brought back to its port and examined. The engineers were astonished to find the same triangular hole as was in the damaged Canadian ship just three weeks before. The hole had been broken |

内容简介
18世纪中叶，在海中航行的船只接二连三地遭到海怪袭击，造成船毁人亡的悲剧。大海之中变得危机四伏，一时之间人心惶惶。各国政府均派出军舰寻找海怪，维护航道安全，但都一无所获。法国生物学家阿隆纳斯教授应美国政府之邀，同仆人康塞尔一道加入搜捕海怪的探险队。他们在船上结识了号称“捕鲸人之王”的加拿大人尼德·兰德。不料，一行人出师未捷，已陷囹圄。教授乘坐的军舰在同海怪较量后被打得落荒而逃。教授、仆人和尼德·兰德掉入海中后被人救起，此时方才发现海怪原是一艘超级潜艇鹦鹉螺号，潜艇艇长自称尼摩艇长。
被人所俘，教授一行人不免惴惴不安，但尼摩艇长却因为钦佩教授的成就，将其待为上宾，后来甚至亲自带教授参观潜艇，将其构造、设计等机密和盘托出。虽然教授等人被软禁在潜艇上，却也凭借潜艇的先进装备大开眼界，加深了他们对海洋的认识。阿
尼德·兰德一心想要逃走，但逃跑计划屡次受挫。他计划在托雷斯海峡附近的岛上打猎时逃离潜艇，不料在岛上遭到土著人攻击，被迫回到潜艇上，引来大批土著围攻潜艇。尼摩艇长镇定自若，凭借潜艇的先进装备，兵不血刃地击退了土著。
接下来的航行中，艇长同教授等人参观了珍珠海床，驾驶潜艇通过了苏伊土运河狭窄的水下通道，从红海直接来到加勒比海。这让教授等人对艇长的神通广大肃然起敬，也对海底煤矿的奇妙赞叹不已。随后，艇长又带教授水中访探，见识了消失的古城亚特兰蒂斯的神妙之处。尼摩艇长不顾尼德·兰德的不满，坚持要去南极。潜艇去的时候一路川砜，不料在归途中被冰山碰撞，岌岌可危。在此生死瞬间，尼摩艇长急中生智，想出了用锅炉加热冰层的办法，终于逃离绝境。其后，艇长似乎雄心受挫，潜艇漫无目的地在海中潜航。其间尼德·兰德多次策划逃走，但均未成功。
眼睁睁地看着又一名艇员在跟章鱼搏斗的时候死在了自己面前，尼摩艇长的怒火终于失去了控制。他轻而易举地将来犯的军舰击沉，舰上的全体乘员都葬身鱼腹。但此时的尼摩艇长受到良心的极大谴责，痛苦之下将潜艇驶入风暴中心，从此生死不明。教授等人抓住最后的机会侥幸逃生。
海底深处到底有些什么样的秘密?纵横四海，叱咤风云的尼摩艇长究竟何许人也?鹦鹉螺号为何如此神奇?……法国科幻小说家儒勒·凡尔纳的传世名篇——《海底两万里》带你一览海底的旖旎风光。你，准备好了吗?
