13 Mr. Fogg and Party Cross the Pacific Ocean

CHAPTER 13 Mr. Fogg and Party Cross the Pacific Ocean The trip from Japan to America was supposed to take twenty-one days, with the ship arriving in San Francisco on the second of December. The trip from San Francisco to

第十三章福克先生和他们一行人横渡太平洋从日本到美国的航程预定为二十一日，船在十二月二日到达旧金山。 从旧金山到

New York should take nine days. This left ten full days to get back to London by the deadline. If Phileas was at all worried, he certainly didn't show it. By the ninth day on board the ship, Phileas Fogg had traveled exactly one half of the globe. Now, with only twenty-eight days left, he needed to cross the other half! Meanwhile, Detective Fix had finally gotten his arrest warrant. It had been waiting for him when he arrived in Japan. In fact, it had been on board the Carnatic, the steamer he was supposed to be on. Of course, the arrest warrant was useless now that Phileas was on his way to America. If he was no longer on British soil, Fix had no authority to arrest him. "Well," Fix steamed, "it will still be good in London. I know for a fact that Phileas Fogg will have to return to his own country at some point."

纽约应该需要9天。 这样，在最后期限前回到伦敦，还剩下整整十天的时间。 如果菲利亚真的很担心，他肯定没有表现出来。 到上船的第九天，斐利亚·福克已经环游了半个地球。 现在，只剩下28天了，他需要穿越另一半！与此同时，费克斯侦探终于拿到了他的逮捕令。 当他到达日本时，它一直在等着他。 事实上，它就在卡纳蒂克号轮船上，那是他应该乘坐的轮船。 当然，既然菲利亚已经在去美国的路上了，逮捕令也就毫无用处了。 如果他不在英国领土上，费克斯就没有权力逮捕他。 “好吧，”费克斯气呼呼地说，“在伦敦还是很好吃的。 我知道，斐利亚·福克总有一天要回到他自己的国家去的。”

Fix decided to follow Phileas until the bitter end. He holed himself up in his cabin on the General Grant so they wouldn't know he was on board. He didn't want to see Passepartout and have to explain what he was doing there. But he couldn't stay inside all the time. One day he simply needed some fresh air. What a mistake that was! The moment he stepped out on deck, there was Passepartout. The butler walked right up to Fix and punched him on the nose. Fix fell down. "Are you quite finished?" he asked, holding his nose. "For the time being—yes," Passepartout answered. "Then let me have a word with you," Fix said. "It's about your boss, please." Passepartout agreed, although he still didn't trust the detective. Fix stood up and the two men went and sat on the deck chairs.

费克斯决定跟着菲利亚，直到痛苦的结局。 他躲在格兰特将军号的船舱里不让他们知道他在船上。 他不想去见路路通，也不想向他解释他在那儿干什么。 但他不能一直呆在里面。 有一天，他只是需要一些新鲜空气。 那是多么大的错误啊！他一走到甲板上，就看见了路路通。 管家径直走到费克斯跟前，在他鼻子上打了一拳。 费克斯跌倒了。“你说完了吗？”他捏着鼻子问。 “暂时是的，”路路通回答说。 “那么，让我跟你说句话吧。” “拜托，是关于你老板的事。” 路路通同意了，但他还是不相信侦探。 费克斯站起身来，那两个人走过去，坐在甲板上的椅子上。

"So now you know my monsieur is an honest man," Passepartout said. "And you've given up this crazy idea that he is the bank robber?" "Of course not," Fix said. Passepartout raised his fist again. "Wait! Let me finish." The butler lowered his hand. "I am now in the game. You see, the only way I can arrest him is if he's in England. The only way to get him to England is for you to finish this crazy race around the world. I know I can't stop him, so I'll do what I can to help." Passepartout said nothing, so Fix continued. "Are we friends?" "No, we are not friends. But we can be allies. I should warn you, though. I will wring your neck at the first sign of you acting up like you did in Hong Kong!" "Agreed," Fix said. He knew when he was beat. Eleven days later, the General Grant

“现在你知道我的先生是个诚实的人了吧？”路路通说。 “你已经放弃了他是银行抢劫犯这个疯狂的想法了吗？”“当然不是，”费克斯说。 路路通又举起拳头。 “等等!让我说完。”管家把手放下来。 “我现在在游戏中。你看，我唯一能逮捕他的办法就是他在英国。 把他带到英国的唯一办法就是你完成这场疯狂的环球赛。 我知道我阻止不了他，所以我会尽我所能去帮助他。” 路路通什么也没说，于是费克斯继续说下去。 “我们是朋友吗？”“不，我们不是朋友。 但我们可以成为盟友。不过我得警告你。 你要是敢像在香港那样乱来，我就拧断你的脖子！”“我同意。” 他知道自己被打败了。11天后，格兰特将军号

docked in San Francisco. Phileas Fogg had not gained or lost a day—and he noted so in his journal. Phileas went directly to the train station to find out when the next train left for New York City. It was at six o'clock, which meant that he and Aouda could rest at the International Hotel for the rest of the day. While Passepartout ran some errands, Phileas and Aouda ate a lovely breakfast. Then, as he had done in every other port, Phileas went to the office to have his passport stamped. This time there were no mishaps and everyone, including Fix, boarded the train for NewYork City at exactly six o'clock that night. Inside the train the weary passengers fell asleep. It had been dark by the time the

停靠在旧金山。斐利亚·福克一天也没有多过一天，他在他的日记里也记下了这一点。 菲利亚直接去火车站打听下一班开往纽约的火车什么时候开。 现在是六点钟，这就意味着他和艾娥达夫人可以在国际饭店里休息一整天了。 路路通去办事的时候，菲利亚和艾娥达夫人吃了一顿丰盛的早餐。 然后，就像他在其他港口所做的那样，菲利亚去办公室给他的护照盖章。 这次没有出什么意外，大家，包括费克斯在内，都在当天晚上六点钟准时登上了开往纽约的火车。 在火车里，疲惫的乘客都睡着了。 到那时候天已经黑了

travelers boarded the train, so there wasn't much to see out the window anyway. The train sped through California. It passed by Sacramento and started through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The tracks wound in and out of the passes and the smoke from the train drifted through the giant trees. After breakfast the next morning, the four passengers stared out the window at the great landscape before them. Mountains lined the horizon just beyond the prairies. Before long, Phileas began once again to write in his journal, as calm as he had ever been on this trip. Just before lunch, a herd of buffalo found its way onto the tracks. The train stopped as the engineer waited patiently for them to pass. Passepartout couldn't sit still. He paced up and down the cars, wondering why someone didn't get out and make them move!

旅客们上了火车，所以窗外也没什么可看的。 火车疾驰穿过加利福尼亚。 它经过萨克拉门托，从内华达山脉开始。 铁轨在山口蜿蜒进进出出，火车喷出的烟雾飘过参天大树。 第二天早饭后，四位乘客凝视着窗外壮丽的景色。 大草原那边的地平线上排列着山脉。 不久，菲利亚又开始写日记了，他像这次旅行一样平静。 就在午饭前，一群水牛来到了铁轨上。 火车停了下来，工程师耐心地等着他们通过。 路路通坐不住了。 他在车厢里踱来踱去，心里纳闷为什么没有人下车让它们动起来！
