名师导读
在牌场上,人们谈到铁路的开通似乎使地球变小了。于是,福格先生对他的牌友斯图尔特许下承诺说他 80 天就可以环游地球一周,这使斯图尔特怀疑这个承诺的真实性。
名著文本
“I maintain,” said Andrew Stuart, “that the chances are in favour of the thief, who is sure to be no fool.” “Nonsense!” replied Ralph, “there is not a country left in which he can take refuge.” “What an idea!” “Where do you want him to go?” “I can't say,” replied Andrew Stuart, “but, after all, the world is large enough.” “It was so...” said Phileas Fogg in an undertone. Then, placing the cards before Thomas Flanagan, he added, “Will you cut?”
“我坚持认为,”安德鲁·斯图尔特说,“这个窃贼能跑掉,他肯定是个机灵的人。”“一派胡言!”拉尔夫回答说,“法网恢恢,他无处可藏。”“你的想法真荒唐!”“您想他能逃到哪儿去?”“这我不知道,”安德鲁·斯图尔特回答说,“不过,世界毕竟大着哩。”“那是过去的事了……”菲利亚·福格低声说道。然后,他拿起洗好的牌递向托马斯·弗拉纳根,继续说：“请您倒牌好吗?”
The discussion was interrupted during the rubber. But Andrew Stuart soon took it up again, saying: “What do you mean by ‘was’? Has the world got smaller, eh?” “Of course it has,” rejoined Gauthier Ralph; “I agree with Mr Fogg. The world has got smaller, since one can travel over it ten times more rapidly than a hundred years ago. And that is just the thing that will hasten the pursuit of the thief.” “And will likewise facilitate his escape!” “It is your turn to play, Mr Stuart,” said Phileas Fogg. But the incredulous Stuart was not convinced. “You must confess,” he said, addressing Ralph, when the rubber was finished, “that you have hit upon a funny way of showing that the world has got smaller. So, because one can now go round it in three months...”
打牌的时候,讨论停止了。但是,不一会儿,安德鲁·斯图尔特又挑起话头说：“你说的‘那是过去的事了’是什么意思？难道地球现在变小了?”“当然是的,”高蒂尔·拉尔夫回答道,“我同意福格先生的看法。地球是变小了,因为人们现在环游地球一周比一百年前要快上十倍。所以,这也加快了追踪窃贼的速度。”“不过,窃贼逃跑起来也一样方便了!”“该您出牌了,斯图尔特先生。”菲利亚·福格说。可是,满腹狐疑的斯图尔特并没有被说服,打完一盘之后,他对拉尔夫说：“应该承认,您突然想出地球变小的主意是挺逗的！您之所以这么说,是因为人们现在可以在三个月内绕地球一周……”
“In as few as eighty days,” said Phileas Fogg.
“只需 80 天。”菲利亚·福格说。
“Yes, indeed,” added John Sullivan, “in eighty days, now that the section of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway between Rothal and Allahabad has been opened.”
“是的,的确如此,”约翰·沙利文补充道,“自从‘大印度半岛铁路’的罗塔尔至安拉阿巴德开通之后,80 天就够了。”
“Yes, eighty days!” exclaimed Andrew Stuart, who inadvertently trumped a winning card; “but that is making no allowance for rough weather, headwinds, wrecks, etc.”
“不错,是 80 天!”安德鲁·斯图尔特喊道,他一不留神还出错了一张制胜牌,“但是,不包括恶劣天气、顶风逆水、各种交通事故等等。”
“Allowing for everything,” replied Phileas Fogg, who went on playing, for by now they were talking regardless of the game.
“全都包括在内了。”菲利亚·福格边打牌边回答,因为现在他们不顾游戏,只顾说个不停了。
“What! Even if the Hindus or Indians removed the rails!” cried Andrew Stuart, “if they stopped the trains, plundered the luggage vans, and scalped the travellers!”
“什么！即使印度人或印第安人扒铁轨也不怕?!”安德鲁·斯图尔特嚷叫道,“即使他们拦截火车,抢掠行李车,剥旅客头皮也不管?!”
“Allowing for everything,” replied Phileas Fogg, and added, laying his cards on the table: “Two winning trumps.”
“全都算上。”菲利亚·福格一边回答一边在桌子上摊牌,“两张王牌。”
Andrew Stuart, whose turn it was to shuffle, picked up the cards and said: “In theory you are right, Mr Fogg, but practically...”
轮到安德鲁·斯图尔特洗牌,他一边拿起牌一边说：“理论上您是对的,福格先生,但实际上……”

读书笔记
Why did Mr Fogg think that he could travel around the world in eighty days?
Because the section of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway between Rothal and Allahabad has been opened, which makes traveling around the world ten times more rapidly than a hundred years ago, so it can be done in eighty days.

答案： Because the section of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway between Rothal and Allahabad has been opened, which makes traveling around the world ten times more rapidly than a hundred years ago, so it can be done in eighty days.
