Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne

原文

Chapter 2: Grauben

There is a seventeen-year-old girl living in our town.

I think she is the most beautiful girl in Germany.

She's got long blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

Her name is Grauben, and we are in love.

We want to get married.

That's why I didn't want to go with my uncle on his mysterious trip.

But he couldn't understand that.

"Are you in love with Grauben?"

"Yes."

"And you want to marry her?"

"Yes."

The professor was silent.

He was a good man, but he could not understand love because his only interest was science.

He forgot what I said and began to talk about our journey.

"Today is the 26th of May. We have one month to get to Sneffells. We're going to take the train to Denmark, and then we'll take a boat to Iceland.

The whole trip is going to take twelve days, then we have to walk to the volcano."

I could not listen to him anymore.

My heart felt heavy.

The professor needed an assistant and he did not want anyone else to know about this secret.

But how could I leave my Grauben?

I went for a walk through the beautiful city of Hamburg.

I walked along the Elbe River thinking of Grauben.

I stopped for a moment to look at a fishing boat sailing on the calm water.

Then I turned and, like magic, she was there.

Grauben,my Grauben, stood twenty feet away, looking at the river.

"Grauben!"She looked like an angel.

We ran into each other's arms and kissed.

"Oh,Axel! I'm so excited!"

She sounded very happy, but I couldn't understand why.

"Excited?Why are you excited, my love?"

"I was at your house. I heard about your journey. Isn't it wonderful?"

For a moment, I felt sad. So, Grauben wanted me to go away from her!

"But,Grauben, we want to get married. I don't know when I'm coming back."

She looked at me lovingly and held my hand. "It doesn't matter. I'll still wait for you. Don't you understand? This is the kind of journey all great men must make. When you come back, you're going to be famous like your uncle. Then,our life will be perfect together."

"Do you really mean that?"

She touched my face and smiled. "Of course I do."

"Oh,Grauben, you are the most wonderful girl in the world!"

Back at my uncle's house, I felt excited.

Then,I thought of something.

Maybe this adventure was too dangerous.

Maybe we wouldn't come back.

I ran in to the library where my uncle was.

"Uncle,is it possible that we won't come back from this journey?"

第二章：格劳本

我们镇上住着一个17岁的女孩。
我认为她是德国最漂亮的女孩。
她有一头金色的长发和一双明亮的蓝眼睛。
她叫格劳本，我们相爱了。
我们想结婚。
这就是为什么我不想和我叔叔一起去他的神秘之旅。
但他无法理解。
“你爱上格劳本了吗？”
“是的。”
“你想娶她？”
“是的。”
教授沉默了。
他是一个好人，但他不能理解爱，因为他唯一的兴趣是科学。
他忘了我说的话，开始谈论我们的旅行。
“今天是5月26日。我们还有一个月的时间去斯奈菲尔。我们打算坐火车去丹麦，然后坐船去冰岛。整个旅程需要12天，然后我们必须步行到火山。”
我再也听不下去了。
我的心情很沉重。
教授需要一个助手，他不想让其他人知道这个秘密。
但我怎么能离开我的格劳本呢？
我在美丽的汉堡城散步。
我沿着易北河散步，心里想着格劳本。
我停了一会儿，看一艘渔船在平静的水面上航行。
然后我转过身，像变魔术一样，她出现了。
格劳本，我的格劳本，站在二十英尺远的地方，望着河水。
“格劳本!”她看起来像个天使。
我们扑到对方的怀里亲吻。
“哦,阿克塞尔!我太兴奋了！”
她听起来很高兴，但我不明白为什么。
“兴奋?你为什么这么激动，亲爱的？”
“我在你家。我听说了你的旅行。这不是很美妙吗？”
有那么一刻，我感到悲伤。所以，格劳本想让我离开她！
“但是，格劳本，我们想结婚。我不知道什么时候能回来。”
她深情地看着我，握着我的手。

“没关系。我还是会等你。你不明白吗？这是所有伟人必须经历的旅程。当你回来的时候，你会像你叔叔一样出名。这样，我们在一起的生活就会很完美。”
“你真的这么想吗？”
她摸了摸我的脸，笑了。“我当然知道。”
“哦，格劳本，你是世界上最了不起的女孩！”
回到叔叔家，我感到很兴奋。
然后，我想到了一件事。
也许这次冒险太危险了。
也许我们再也不会回来了。
我跑进了我叔叔所在的图书馆。
“叔叔，我们这次旅行有可能回不来了吗？”
