Yet, Conseil asked me, "doesn't master believe in gigantic devilfish?""Yikes! Who in Hades ever believed in them?" the Canadian exclaimed.

“那么，”康塞爾問我，“先生也不相信有大型章魚嗎？”“哎！鬼才相信呢！”加拿大人喊道。

Many people, Ned my friend, I said."No fishermen. Scientists maybe!""Pardon me, Ned. Fishermen and scientists!"Why, I to whom you speak," Conseil said with the world's straightest face, "I recall perfectly seeing a large boat dragged under the waves by the arms of a cephalopod.""You saw that?" the Canadian asked.

“有很多人相信呢，尼德朋友。”“漁人就不會(huì)相信。學(xué)者就可能會(huì)相信！”“不好意思，尼德。一些學(xué)者和一些漁人都相信?！薄暗腋f(shuō)，”康塞爾神情無(wú)比嚴(yán)肅地說(shuō)，“我清楚地記得，我曾經(jīng)見過(guò)一艘大船被一只頭足類動(dòng)物的爪子拖到水里去?！薄澳催^(guò)嗎？”加拿大人問。

Yes, Ned."With your own two eyes?"With my own two eyes."Where, may I ask?

“是的，尼德?！薄澳H眼看到的？”“親眼看到的?！薄澳钦?qǐng)問，在哪里看到？”

In Saint-Malo, Conseil returned unflappably."In the harbor?" Ned Land said sarcastically."No, in a church," Conseil replied."In a church!" the Canadian exclaimed."Yes, Ned my friend. It had a picture that portrayed the devilfish in question.""Oh good!" Ned Land exclaimed with a burst of laughter. "Mr. Conseil put one over on me!"Actually he's right," I said. "I've heard about that picture. But the subject it portrays is taken from a legend, and you know how to rate legends in matters of natural history! Besides, when it's an issue of monsters,the human imagination always tends to run wild.

“在圣—馬洛港，”康塞爾冷靜地回答說(shuō)。 “在一個(gè)港口？”尼德·蘭嘲諷地說(shuō)。 “不，在一座教堂里?！笨等麪柣卮鹫f(shuō)。“在一座教堂里！”加拿大人喊道。 “是的，尼德朋友。是一幅描繪章魚的圖畫?！?“好??！”尼德·蘭說(shuō)著，放聲大笑，“康塞爾先生在跟我開玩笑呢！” “事實(shí)上，他是對(duì)的，”我說(shuō)，“我聽說(shuō)過(guò)這幅圖畫；雖然它取裁于一個(gè)傳說(shuō)，但您知道應(yīng)該怎樣看待與博物史有關(guān)的傳說(shuō)！再說(shuō)，一說(shuō)到這種怪物，人們就會(huì)突發(fā)奇想。
