3 Phileas Fogg Shocks His New Butler

CHAPTER 3 Phileas Fogg Shocks His New Butler Phileas Fogg left the Reform Club at exactly seven twenty-five. When he opened the door, he shouted for his new butler. "Passepartout!" he called out. "Passepartout!"

第三章斐利亚·福克震惊了他的新管家斐利亚·福克在7点25分准时离开了改革俱乐部。 当他打开门,他喊他的新管家。 “路路通!” “路路通!”

he called again when he didn't get an answer. "Passepartout!" Phileas shouted out again. Passepartout appeared at the bedroom door. "I've called you three times," Phileas said. "But it's not yet midnight, sir," the butler replied. "I know," Phileas said, "but we're leaving for Dover in ten minutes." A puzzled grin spread over Passepartout's face. "Monsieur is leaving on a trip?" "Yes," Phileas replied. "We are going on a trip around the world." He paused. "We must be back in eighty days." Passepartout opened his eyes wide. Then he raised his eyebrows and held up his hands in disbelief. "A tour of the world?" he asked in shock. "In eighty days," Phileas repeated. "We haven't a moment to spare." "But that's not enough time to pack your trunk, sir," Passepartout said. "We're not taking trunks. Just carpetbags

没人接,他又打了一次。 “路路通!”菲利亚又喊道。 路路通出现在卧室门口。 “我已经给你打过三次电话了,”菲利亚说。 “可是还没到午夜呢,先生,”管家回答。 “我知道,”菲利亚说,“但我们十分钟后就要去多佛了。” 路路通脸上露出困惑的笑容。 “先生要去旅行吗?”“是的,”菲利亚回答。 “我们要做一次环球旅行。” 他停顿了一下。“我们必须在八十天内回来。” 路路通睁大了眼睛。 然后他扬起眉毛,难以置信地举起双手。 “环游世界?”他震惊地问道。 “八十天以后,”菲利亚重复道。 “我们一刻也抽不出来。” 路路通说:“先生,这时间可不够你收拾行李的。” “我们不带箱子。只是投机取巧

with two shirts and three pairs of socks each. We'll have to buy anything else we need along the way." Passepartout left the room feeling stunned. Carpetbags were so small—they barely had enough room for what one needed for an overnight trip. Around the world, he thought. And in eighty days! Is the monsieur crazy? Passepartout had everything packed by eight o'clock. He carefully shut the door to his room and went downstairs to where Phileas was waiting. Phileas carried two travel guides under his arm—one for the railways and one for the boats. He put both books and his wallet into the carpet-bag Passepartout held out for him. "You haven't forgotten anything?" Phileas asked. "Not a thing, sir," Passepartout said. "My hat and cloak?" Phileas asked.

每人有两件衬衫和三双袜子。 我们一路上需要的东西都得自己买。” 路路通惊愕地离开了房间。 旅行袋太小了,几乎没有足够的空间装下过夜旅行所需的东西。 环游世界,他想。 八十天以后!先生疯了吗? 路路通八点钟就把东西收拾好了。 他小心翼翼地关上房门,下楼到菲利斯等着的地方。 菲利亚腋下夹着两本旅行指南——一本是关于铁路的,一本是关于船的。 他把两本书和钱包都放进了路路通递给他的旅行袋里。 “你什么都没忘吧?”Phileas问道。 “什么也没有,先生,”路路通说。 “我的帽子和斗篷?”Phileas问道。

"Right here, sir." Passepartout handed them to him. Phileas took his hat and coat and handed his bag to his butler. "Now be careful with my bag," he said. "There's twenty thousand pounds in it!" Passepartout was so shocked that he nearly dropped the bag. The two went outside and stepped into a waiting cab. It took them directly to the railroad station. Once inside, Phileas bought the tickets. At twenty minutes before nine, Phileas and Passepartout found their seats in the first- class cabin. They had made it to the train with five minutes to spare. Passepartout held on tightly to the carpetbag with monsieur's money. He still couldn't quite believe what was happening. The train's whistle blew, and they were off!

“就在这儿,先生。”路路通递给他。 菲利斯拿起帽子和外套,把提包递给管家。 “现在小心我的包,”他说。 “里面有两万英镑呢!”路路通吓得差点儿把提包掉在地上。 两人走了出去,上了一辆正在等候的出租车。 它直接把他们带到火车站。 一进去,菲利亚就买了票。 九点差二十分,菲利亚和路路通在头等车厢里找到了座位。 他们在还剩五分钟的时候赶到了火车上。 路路通紧紧地抓着装着先生的钱的旅行袋。 他仍然不能完全相信发生了什么。 火车的汽笛响了,他们出发了!
