晚餐和午餐都来。康塞尔说。
Well put, the Canadian replied. We deserve two meals, and speaking for myself, I'll do justice to them both.
不错，加拿大人答，我们有权利要这两顿饭，在我个人，这两顿饭我都得尝尝。
All right, Ned, let's wait and see! I replied. It's clear that these strangers don't intend to let us die of hunger, otherwise last evening's dinner wouldn't make any sense.
对呀!尼德·兰，再等一会，我答，现在很明白，这些人并不想饿死我们，因为，如果要饿死我们，昨天的晚餐便没有意义了。
Unless they're fattening us up! Ned shot back.
是要把我们填肥!尼德·兰答。
I object, I replied. We have not fallen into the hands of cannibals.
我反对您这话，我答，我们并不是落在吃人的野蛮人手里!
Just because they don't make a habit of it, the Canadian replied in all seriousness, doesn't mean they don't indulge from time to time.
一次送饭不能作为定论，加拿大人很正经地答，谁知道这些人是不是很久就没有新鲜的肉吃了，
Who knows? Maybe these people have gone without fresh meat for a long while, and in that case three healthy, well-built specimens like the professor, his manservant, and me.
真是这样的话，像您教授，您的仆人和我，三个身体康健的人的肉…
Get rid of those ideas, Mr. Land, I answered the harpooner.
尼德·兰师傅，您不要这样想，我口答鱼叉手，
And above all, don't let them lead you to flare up against our hosts, which would only make our situation worse.
您更不能从这个角度来反对我们的主人，这样只能使情势更加严重，更加不利。
