Turn the page. Chapter 1. The Journey Begins Over one hundred years ago, there lived a man named Phileas Fogg. For many years, he led a very quiet life. He spent every day at his club, which was where rich men went to meet their friends.

翻页吧。 第一章 旅程开启 一百多年前，有个叫菲利亚·福格的男人。 很多年来，他的生活都过得十分平静。 他每天都待在俱乐部里，那是富人们和朋友聚会的地方。

Every morning he left his house at exactly 11 .30 and walked 576 steps to his club. Then he ate lunch.

每天早上他准点11点半出门，走576步到俱乐部。 然后他就吃午饭。

After lunch, Fogg read three newspapers from cover to cover, then he ate supper. After that, he played cards with friends. You've beaten us again, Fogg! On the stroke of midnight, he went home to bed, before doing exactly the same the next day.

午饭后，福格会把三份报纸从头到尾读一遍，之后吃晚饭。 吃完晚饭，他就和朋友们打扑克。 福格，你又赢我们啦！ 午夜钟声一敲，他就回家睡觉，第二天再一模一样重复一遍。

But one Wednesday, everything changed. Fogg read some amazing news in his paper. Listen to this, he announced to his friends. It says it's possible to travel around the world in only 80 days. I don't believe it. You jump from train to ship to train again non -stop. Despite his friends' laughter, Fogg was convinced he could do it.

可是有个周三，一切都变了。福格在报纸上读到了一条惊人的消息。 “你们听这个，”他对朋友们宣布，“报上说只要80天就能环游世界一圈哦。” “我才不信，你得不停换乘火车、轮船、再火车，根本停不下来。” 不管朋友们怎么笑他，福格都坚信自己能做到。

When one friend bet that it couldn't be done, Fogg replied, I will bet £20 ,000 that I can go around the world in 80 days or less. Everyone thought he was crazy, but Fogg had made up his mind. I shall be back on December 21st, he said. See you in 80 days!

有个朋友打赌说这绝对做不到，福格回答道： “我赌两万英镑，我能在80天甚至更短的时间里环游地球。” 所有人都觉得他疯了，但福格已经下定了决心。 “我会在12月21号回来的，”他说，“80天后见！”
