But this sea, Professor Aronnax, he told me, this prodigious, inexhaustible wet nurse of a sea not only feeds me, she dresses me as well.

阿龙纳斯先生，这海, 这奇妙的、取之不尽的生命泉源，不仅仅给我吃的，并且还给我穿的。

That fabric covering you was woven from the masses of filaments that anchor certain seashells;

现在您身上穿的衣料是由一种贝壳类的足丝织成的，

as the ancients were wont to do, it was dyed with purple ink from the murex snailand shaded with violet tints that I extract from a marine slug, the Mediterraneansea hare.

染上古人喜欢的绊红色。又调配上我从地中海海兔类中取出的紫色。

The perfumes you'll find on the washstand in your cabin were produced from the oozings of marine plants.

您在舱房中梳洗台上看到的香料，是从海产植物提炼出来的。

Your mattress was made from the ocean's softest eelgrass. Your quill pen will be whalebone, your ink a juice secreted by cuttlefish or squid.

您睡的床是侮中最软和的大叶海藻做的。您使的笔是鲸鱼的触须，墨水是墨鱼或乌贼分泌的汁。

Everything comes to me from the sea, just as someday everything will return to it!

现在海给我一切，正像将来一切都要归还它一样!

You love the sea, captain.

船长，您爱海吧?

Yes, I love it! The sea is the be all and end all! It covers seven-tenths of the planet earth. Its breath is clean and healthy.

是的，我爱海!海是包罗万象的!海占地球面积的十分之七。海的气息纯洁而卫生。
