time. They had a few hours before it was due to leave. Phileas wanted to make sure Aouda was comfortable and had everything she needed. Of course, that meant that Passepartout would have to run some errands. A policeman stopped Phileas just after he had helped Aouda down from the train. "Are you Mr. Phileas Fogg?" he asked. "I am," Phileas replied. "And this man is your butler?" He pointed to Passepartout. "He is." "Then both of you need to come with me." The policeman walked toward a carriage and opened the door for them. Not wanting to leave Aouda behind, Phileas told her to come with them. After a quiet twenty-minute journey, they arrived at a small house. The policeman opened up the carriage door. As he let them

时间。离飞机起飞还有几个小时。 菲利亚想确保艾娥达夫人住得舒服，她需要的东西都有。 当然，这就意味着路路通得去办点事。 菲利亚刚把艾娥达夫人从火车上扶下来，一个警察拦住了他。 “您是斐利亚·福克先生吗？” “是的，”菲利亚回答。“这个人是你的管家吗？”他指了指路路通。 “他是。”“那么你们两个都得跟我走。” 警察走向一辆马车，为他们开了门。 菲利亚不想丢下艾娥达夫人，就让她跟他们一起去。 安静地走了二十分钟后，他们来到一所小房子前。 警察打开了车门。 当他让他们

out, he said, "Follow me." He led the three of them into a small room with bars on the windows. "You'll stand before Judge Obadiah at precisely eight- thirty." "We are prisoners?" Phileas exclaimed. "Nonsense! There must be some mistake." He turned to Aouda and Passepartout. "Not to worry, we shall be on board the steamer by noon." The door opened and the policeman came back. He brought them into the courtroom. Judge Obadiah, a fat, round man, came in. "The first case!" The judge called. "Phileas Fogg!" the judge's clerk shouted. "Present," Phileas said. Three men came into the courtroom. At first Phileas and Passepartout thought they were members of the gang trying to get Aouda back. But then one of them produced Passepartout's shoes!

他说：“跟我来。” 他把三个人领进一间窗户上有铁栏的小房间。 “你将在八点半准时站在奥巴底亚法官面前。” “我们是囚犯？”Phileas喊道。 “胡说八道!一定是搞错了。” 他转向艾娥达夫人和路路通。 “别担心，我们中午就能上船了。” 门开了，警察走了回来。 他把他们带进了法庭。 奥巴底亚法官，一个又胖又圆的人走了进来。 “第一箱！”法官打来电话。 “斐利亚·福克！” “现在，”菲利亚说。三个人走进了法庭。 起先，菲利亚和路路通以为他们是那帮想把艾娥达夫人救回来的人。 这时，有一个人拿出了路路通的鞋子！

"Mr. Passepartout, you are charged with illegally entering a temple. These shoes are the proof that you were indeed there," the judge said. "My shoes!" Passepartout said loudly. "So you do admit you were there?" Passepartout nodded slowly. "Good. You will be fined one hundred and fifty pounds and will need to spend one week in jail." Phileas spoke up. "I shall pay his bail. Then he won't need to stay in jail. What's the cost?" The judge looked at him. "It's rather steep, sir. Two thousand pounds." Phileas took a roll of bills out of his carpetbag and paid the bail. Detective Fix stood at the back of the courtroom watching everything. He thought he had found a sure-fire way of keeping Phileas in India until he could get the proper

“路路通先生，你被指控非法进入寺庙。 这双鞋就是你确实去过那里的证据。”法官说。 “我的鞋!”路路通大声说。 “那么你承认你在那儿了？”路路通慢慢地点了点头。 “很好。你将被罚款150英镑，并需要在监狱里呆一个星期。” 菲利亚开口了。“我将支付他的保释金。 那他就不用待在监狱里了。 成本是多少？”法官看着他。 “太贵了，先生。两千英镑。” 菲利亚从旅行袋里掏出一叠钞票，付了保释金。 费克斯侦探站在法庭的后面，注视着这一切。 他以为自己找到了一个万无一失的办法，可以把菲利亚留在印度，直到他拿到合适的证件

arrest warrant. But now that Passepartout had bail, it looked like Phileas was going to get away again! He had never imagined the robber would be so free with his money. "Good," said the judge. "This money will be returned to you once Passepartout has

逮捕令。可是现在路路通已经保释了，看来菲利亚又要逃走了！他从来没有想到那个强盗会如此肆无忌惮地拿钱。 “很好，”法官说。“路通一拿到钱，我就还给你

completed his time in jail. If he doesn't return, we shall keep the money." Phileas nodded. "That's fine, sir." He turned to Passepartout and Aouda, and said, "Let's go!" Passepartout grabbed his shoes on the way out. "We need to be on our way to the wharf right now!" With a heavy heart, Passepartout followed his monsieur. He did not enjoy having his boss spend money on mistakes that he had made. He glanced up to see Fix standing off in the corner looking very angry indeed. For a second, Passepartout wondered what he was doing there, but he was in too much of a hurry to give the matter much thought.

服刑期满。 如果他不回来，钱就归我们了。” Phileas点点头。“很好，先生。” 他转身对路路通和艾娥达夫人说：“我们走吧！”路路通拿起鞋子走了出去。 “我们现在就得去码头！”路路通怀着沉重的心情跟着他的先生走了。 他不喜欢老板把钱花在他犯的错误上。 他抬起头来，看见费克斯站在角落里，满脸怒气。 有那么一瞬间，路路通不知道他在这儿干什么，但是他实在太着急了，没有多想。
