听力故事联播:八十天环游世界(9)

《八十天环游世界》是法国作家儒勒·凡尔纳创作的长篇小说。全书首次出版于1873年。小说起因于英国绅士福格与朋友打的一个赌:要在80天内环游地球一周回到伦敦。随后,他与仆人克服了路途中的艰难险阻,路经地中海、红海、印度洋、太平洋、大西洋,游历印度、新加坡、日本、美国等地,最后返回伦敦,一路上福格机智、勇敢,表现出十足的绅士派头。作者在介绍各地的风土人情和地理知识的同时,还以强烈的正义感和人道主义精神,对各种野蛮、落后、愚昧的社会现状进行了批判和鞭挞。

Chapter 9
IN WHICH THE RED SEA AND THE INDIAN OCEAN PROVE PROPITIOUS TO THE DESIGNS OF PHILEAS FOGG
The distance between Suez and Aden is precisely thirteen hundred and ten miles, and the regulations of the company allow the steamers one hundred and thirty-eight hours in which to traverse it. The Mongolia, thanks to the vigorous exertions of the engineer, seemed likely, so rapid was her speed, to reach her destination considerably within that time. The greater part of the passengers from Brindisi were bound for India some for Bombay, others for Calcutta by way of Bombay, the nearest route thither, now that a railway crosses the Indian peninsula. Among the passengers was a number of officials and military officers of various grades, the latter being either attached to the regular British forces or commanding the Sepoy troops, and receiving high salaries ever since the central government has assumed the powers of the East India Company: for the sub-lieutenants get 280 pounds, brigadiers, 2,400 pounds, and generals of divisions, 4,000 pounds. What with the military men, a number of rich young Englishmen on their travels, and the hospitable efforts of the purser, the time passed quickly on the Mongolia. The best of fare was spread upon the cabin tables at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the eight o'clock supper, and the ladies scrupulously changed their toilets twice a day; and the hours were whirled away, when the sea was tranquil, with music, dancing, and games.
