海底两万里 第104期 第8章 动中之动(7)

　　I felt involuntarily reassured in his presence, and this boded well for our interview.

　　我看见这个人在面前，心中自然而然地觉得很安定，我预料我们的会谈将很顺利。

　　Whether this individual was thirty-five or fifty years of age, I could not precisely state.

　　这个人究竟是三十五岁还是五十岁，我可不能确定。

　　He was tall, his forehead broad, his nose straight, his mouth clearly etched, his teeth magnificent, his hands refined, tapered,

　　他的身材高大，他的前额宽阔，鼻子笔直，嘴唇平正，牙齿齐整，两手细长，

　　and to use a word from palmistry, highly psychic,in other words, worthy of serving a lofty and passionate spirit.

　　用手相学家的话来说，特别精灵，就是说。正好配得上他富有情感的心灵。

　　This man was certainly the most wonderful physical specimen I had ever encountered.

　　这人可能是我从来没有碰见过的最完美的人型。

　　One unusual detail: his eyes were spaced a little far from each other and could instantly take in nearly a quarter of the horizon.

　　更有一个细微的特征，他的两个眼睛，彼此隔开略远一些，可以把整个一方景色同时收入眼帘中。

　　This ability-as I later verified-was strengthened by a range of vision even greater than Ned Land's.

　　这一特点—我在以后证实了—使他的眼力比尼德·兰的还要高强。
