7 Phileas Fogg, Passepartout

CHAPTER 7 Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, and Sir Francis Have an Adventure Nestled up to their necks in the howdahs, Sir Francis and Phileas were tossed about by the elephant as she ran through the forest. Ali had told them that they could save a lot

第七章斐利亚·福克、路路通和斐利亚爵士的奇遇弗朗西丝爵士和斐利亚爵士紧紧地依偎在一起，当大象在森林里奔跑的时候，他们被大象颠来颠去。 阿里告诉他们可以省下很多钱

of time by taking a shortcut, and so there they were, but it was much rougher than the normal road. Passepartout bounced around on the elephant's back. It may have hurt, but Passepartout was enjoying himself. He felt like a clown on a vault. The men rode through a thick forest and then through dry fields. They saw some animals—mainly monkeys—that Passepartout quite liked. The passengers were a bit scared of traveling through this rough territory on the way to Allahabad. They knew there were gangs of bandits who ruled the lands there and no one wanted any trouble. Although he loved being atop an elephant, Passepartout wondered what the monsieur was going to do with Kiouni once they arrived at Allahabad. He thought about this for a long while as they moved swiftly along. By that evening, the men had gone half the

他们就这样走了一条近路，但这条路比普通的路崎岖得多。 路路通在象背上跳来跳去。 路路通虽然觉得很痛，但心里却很高兴。 他觉得自己像个跳马上的小丑。 这些人骑马穿过茂密的森林，然后穿过干燥的田地。 他们看到了一些路路通很喜欢的动物，主要是猴子。 乘客们有点害怕在前往阿拉哈巴德的途中穿过这片崎岖不平的土地。 他们知道那里有一帮土匪统治着那里的土地，没有人想惹麻烦。 路路通虽然很喜欢骑在象背上，但是他很想知道，一旦他们到了阿拉哈巴德，这位先生会怎样对待基奥尼。 他们飞快地往前走，他想了很久。 到那天晚上，男人们已经走了一半

distance to the other railway station. It was a cold night. They stopped at a run-down hut, where their guide lit a nice warm fire. Kiouni slept outside, leaning up against a large tree. Soon the snores of the travelers floated through the air. By six o'clock the next morning, they were on the way again. Ali wanted to get them to the railway station that evening. This meant that Phileas would only lose a small bit of the time he had gained since starting his trip. With only twelve miles to go, the men stopped under a banana tree and had a snack. After the break, Ali led Kiouni back into the forest. They had avoided all signs of the bandits so far and he wanted to keep it that way. Suddenly Kiouni stopped. "What's the matter?" Sir Francis asked. He stuck his head out of his howdah. The men heard loud voices coming through the woods.

到另一个火车站的距离。 那是一个寒冷的夜晚。他们在一间破旧的小屋前停了下来，向导在那里生了一堆温暖的火。 Kiouni睡在外面，靠在一棵大树上。 不久，旅客们的鼾声在空中飘荡。 第二天早上六点，他们又上路了。 那天晚上阿里想把他们送到火车站。 这意味着菲利亚只会损失他开始旅行以来赢得的一小部分时间。 只剩下12英里了，他们在一棵香蕉树下停下来吃点心。 休息过后，阿里领着基乌尼回到森林里。 到目前为止，他们避开了土匪的一切迹象，他想保持这种状态。 突然，Kiouni停了下来。“怎么啦？”弗朗西斯爵士问道。 他把头从他的手伸出来。 男人们听到树林里传来很大的声音。

"Quickly," Ali said. "We must hide." He led Kiouni off the trail so the people who were coming wouldn't see them. The clanging of instruments and loud voices crept closer and closer. A group of men dressed in costumes pulled a cart with an ugly statue on it. Sir Francis whispered, "Do you think they've seen us?" Ali made a motion with his hand for him to be quiet. Some of the men danced around the statue. Many of them were wearing long robes. Another group pulled a woman behind them. She fell down with almost every step she took. She was young, pretty, and wore gems on her hands, feet, neck, arms, and legs. The guards who followed her carried giant sabers and very sharp swords. "I think they mean to harm that poor girl," Sir Francis whispered. "I think you're right," Phileas said. "She

“快点，”阿里说。“我们必须躲起来。” 他把基乌尼引到小路上，这样来的人就看不到他们了。 乐器的铿锵声和响亮的说话声越来越近。 一群穿着奇装异服的人拉着一辆车，车上有一尊丑陋的雕像。 弗朗西斯爵士悄声问道：“你觉得他们看到我们了吗？”阿里做了个手势让他安静。 一些人围着雕像跳舞。 他们中许多人穿着长袍。 另一组人拖着一个女人在他们后面。 她几乎每走一步都跌倒。 她年轻、漂亮，手上、脚上、脖子上、胳膊上和腿上都戴着宝石。 跟随她的卫兵拿着巨大的军刀和非常锋利的剑。 “我想他们是想伤害那个可怜的女孩。”弗朗西斯爵士低声说。 “我想你是对的，”菲利亚说。 ”她

must be a princess. Look at the way she is dressed. I have twelve hours to spare—we must save her!" "Agreed!" Sir Francis said. "Agreed!" Passepartout added. "If they catch you, they will surely torture you," Ali said. "But you have my help as well. The girl they have captured is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Bombay. Her name is Aouda. She is very famous." "That makes sense. They must have captured her for the ransom her family would pay to get her back!" Phileas said. "Let's think of a plan. It might be best to wait for the cover of darkness." Everyone nodded. "We should move our camp closer to them. That way we can see what they're doing," Sir Francis added. They tied up Kiouni and made their way closer to the camp. A large fire burned and they heard a great commotion. The men

一定是个公主。看她的穿着。 我还有十二个小时的时间——我们必须救她！”“同意!”弗朗西斯爵士说。 “同意!”路路通补充道。 “如果他们抓住你，他们肯定会折磨你，”阿里说。 “但是我也会帮助你的。 他们抓的那个女孩是孟买一个富商的女儿。 她叫艾娥达。她非常有名。” “这是有道理的。他们一定是为了她的家人付赎金才把她抓回来的！”Phileas说。 “让我们想个计划。最好等天黑了再走。” 每个人都点了点头。“我们应该把营地搬到离他们更近的地方。 这样我们就能看到他们在做什么，”弗朗西斯爵士补充道。 他们把基乌尼绑起来，向营地走去。 一堆大火燃烧着，他们听到一阵巨大的骚动。 的男人

planned to cut open the wall of the hut where the girl was being kept and steal her away. They waited until it was dark and the guards had fallen asleep. Then Passepartout and Ali slipped away and started breaking down the wall. Phileas and Sir Francis watched from behind a nearby tree. "Oh, no!" Phileas whispered. "The guard has woken up! We've got to do something before he finds Passepartout." The two men slowly snuck up behind the guard and hit him on the head. They didn't want to hurt him too badly. They just wanted to make sure he stayed asleep. Sir Francis and Phileas joined Passepartout and Ali digging away at the wall. Finally they were through! The poor girl lay on the bed. She looked half-dead. Passepartout carefully picked her up. "Hurry!" Phileas said, "we've got to get out of here right away!"

计划劈开关女孩的小屋的墙，把她偷走。 他们一直等到天黑，卫兵都睡着了。 然后路路通和阿里溜了出去，开始砸墙。 菲利亚和弗朗西斯爵士躲在附近的一棵树后面看着。 “哦,不!”Phileas低声说。 “卫兵醒了！”我们得在他找到路路通之前想个办法。” 那两个人慢慢地溜到警卫后面，打了他的头。 他们不想太伤害他。 他们只是想确保他一直睡着。 弗朗西斯爵士和菲利亚跟路路通和阿里一起挖墙。 他们终于打通了！可怜的女孩躺在床上。 她看上去半死不活。路路通小心地把她抱起来。 “快点!”菲利亚说：“我们必须马上离开这里！”
