THE NEXT DAY I woke up with my head unusually clear. Much to my surprise, I was in my stateroom. No doubt my companions had been put back in their cabin without noticing it any more than I had. Like me, they would have no idea what took place during the night, and to unravel this mystery I could count only on some future happenstance.

第二天，我醒来，头脑特别清爽。令我十分吃惊的是，我竟在我的房中。我的同伴一定也回到他们舱房中去了，可能他们跟我一样，一点没有觉得。夜间所有的经过他们也一点不知道，像我完全不知道一样，要想揭开这个神秘，我只有依靠将来的偶然机会了。

I then considered leaving my stateroom. Was I free or still a prisoner? Perfectly free. I opened my door, headed down the gangways, and climbed the central companionway. Hatches that had been closed the day before were now open. I arrived on the platform.

我心里盘算着走出这个房间。心想我已经恢复了自由？或者仍旧是囚人？其实，我又完全自由了。我打开门，走人过道，上了中央铁梯。嵌板昨天是关闭的，现在开了。我到了平台上。

Ned Land and Conseil were there waiting for me. I questioned them. They knew nothing. Lost in a heavy sleep of which they had no memory, they were quite startled to be back in their cabin.

尼德·兰和康塞尔在那里等着我。我问他们，他们什么都不知道。昏沉沉的睡眠没有给他们留下任何记忆，他们只是心中惊怪，看见自己不知道在什么时候又回到自己的舱房中了。

As for the Nautilus, it seemed as tranquil and mysterious as ever. It was cruising on the surface of the waves at a moderate speed. Nothing seemed to have changed on board.

至于诺第留斯号，我们看来还是跟往常一样，很安静，很神秘。它行动很缓慢，浮在海波上面。船上好像一点也没有什么变化。

Ned Land observed the sea with his penetrating eyes. It was deserted. The Canadian sighted nothing new on the horizon, neither sail nor shore. A breeze was blowing noisily from the west, and disheveled by the wind, long billows made the submersible roll very noticeably.

尼德·兰睁开他锐利的眼睛，观察大海。海上什么都没有。加拿大人见天边什么也没有，没有船只，没有陆地。西风呼呼地吹来，凤掀起壮阔的波浪打到船上，船显著地摆动起来。

After renewing its air, the Nautilus stayed at an average depth of fifteen meters, enabling it to return quickly to the surface of the waves.

诺第留斯号换过新鲜空气后，行驶在深度平均为十五米的水底下面，这样它可以很快地回到水面上来。
