But how were you able to build this wonderful Nautilus in secret?

但是，您怎样能秘密地建造这艘奇异的令人五体投地诺第留斯号呢？

A nautilus. It spends it's days hiding four hundred meters down.

鹦鹉螺。白天它躲在400米深的海底。

Come on, Dennis. I'll show you the rec center. They've got Nautilus equipment.

走吧，丹尼斯，我带你去文体中心，那儿有健身器械。

The sea was swelling and surging. Its waves made the Nautilus roll and jerk violently.

海面波涛汹桶，海水滚滚打来，使诺第留斯号发生激烈的颠簸。

I don't, Professor Aronnax; the Nautilus returns to me.

阿龙纳斯先生，不是我回去，而是诺第留斯号回到我身边来。

Like noiseless nautilus shells, their light prows sped through the sea; but only slowly they neared the foe.

他们轻盈的艇首像无声无息的鹦鹉螺壳，快速地破浪前进，但在靠近敌人时便放慢下来。

You see only impediments and obstacles! I promise you, not only will the Nautilus float clear, it will go farther still!

您只看见困难和障碍！我现在向您肯定说，不仅诺第留斯号可以脱身，而且它还要前进。

This ancient lineage still survives today in the form of the modern nautilus.

这个古老的血统今天仍然 以现代鹦鹉螺的形式存在。

At first, he thought it was an ammonite -- one of the ancient relatives of today's nautilus.

起初，他以为那是菊石——今天的鹦鹉螺的远古亲戚之一。

Some species developed shells that coiled, forming a more compact and maneuverable form, like the modern nautilus.

一些物种开发出盘绕的壳，形成更紧凑和机动的形式，如现代鹦鹉螺。

Not yet. I haven't let the Nautilus pull too near the coast, and we're fairly well out from the Mannar oysterbank.

不用穿了。我不让诺第留斯号很接近海岸，我们是在马纳尔礁石岩脉的远处海上。

Scientists believe that this was the very first cephalopod — a group that now includes squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, and nautiluses.

科学家们认为这是最早的头足类动物——现在包括鱿鱼、章鱼、墨鱼和鹦鹉螺的类群。

These are things like your nautiluses, your coelacanths, your ginkgo trees -- organisms that look basically the same today as they do in the fossil record.

这些生物就像你的鹦鹉螺、腔棘鱼、银杏树——今天看起来与化石记录中的生物基本相同的生物。

Sailors' luck led the Nautilus straight to Reao Island, one of the most unusual in this group, which was discovered in 1822 by Captain Bell aboard the Minerva.

在这次航行中，诺第留斯号偶然开到克列蒙端尼岛—群岛中最有兴昧的一个岛? 它是1822年，曲米涅娃号船长贝尔发现的。

While we might think of the nautilus with its shell as an oddity today, the fact is that the ancestors of modern, squishy cephalopods like the octopus and the squid all had shells.

虽然我们今天可能会认为带壳的鹦鹉螺很奇怪，但事实是，章鱼和鱿鱼等现代软软头足类动物的祖先都有壳。
