Sir, even though you've cut yourself off from humanity, I can see that you ha一ven't disowned all human feeling.
先生,您虽然跟人类世界不相往来，但我想您还没有公开否认人的情感。
We're castaways whom you've charitably taken aboard, we'll never forget that.
我们是被您好心收留在您船上的受难者，我们忘不了您的好意。
Speaking for myself, I don't rule out that the interests of science could override even the need for freedom, which promises me that, in exchange,
至于我，如果因为科学的关系可以把自一由忘记的话，那我很知道，
our encounter will provide great rewards.
我们两人的相遇可能给我巨大的补偿。
I thought the commander would offer me his hand, to seal our agreement. He did nothing of the sort. I regretted that.
我想，船长是一定要跟我握手，借此表示我们的意见是一致的。但他并不这样做。我真替他惋惜。
One last question, I said, just as this inexplicable being seemed ready to withdraw.
最后一个问题。当这个神秘的人物想退出去的时候，我对他说。
Ask it, professor.
教授先生，您说吧。
By what name am I to call you?
我应当怎样称呼您呢?
Sir, the commander replied, to you, I'm simply Captain Nemo;* to me, you and your companions are simply passengers on the Nautilus.
先生，船长回答，在您来说，我不过是尼摩船长，在我来说，您和您的同伴不过是诺第留斯号的乘客。
