Wait for a ship’s person Wait for one and other, But hesitate always should ascend which ship Missed Had to consign the hope to next time, Finally what to wait for until has no boats and ships to come and go, Sunset west .
再孤魂野鹤的伫立记忆河头， 听着哨子的紧奏慢响， 水涨船行中的悠悠往事。 等船的人儿， 等了一班又一班， 却始终犹豫着该登哪一只。 错过的， 只好把希望寄托到了下一回， 终究等到的是没有船只的过往， 日落西头 。

1、if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.

『肆』 科幻小说精彩片段
1、宇宙就是一座黑暗森林，每个文明都是带枪的猎人，像幽灵般潜行于林间，轻轻拨开挡路的树枝，竭力不让脚步发出一点儿声音，连呼吸都小心翼翼。——刘慈欣《三体》
2、对三体世界而言，在他们的行星被三颗恒星吞噬之前，太阳系是唯一的希望，再没有第二个可以及时移民的世界，这样，继人类之后，三体文明也必将彻底灭亡。这就是您的同归于尽战略。
当一切都准备完毕，所有氢弹都已在水星上就位时，您将以此来要挟三体世界，最终使人类赢得胜利。以上就是我，您的破壁人多年工作的结果。我并不想征询您的意见和评价，因为我们都知道这是真的。在破壁人讲述的过程中，雷迪亚兹一直默默听着，他手上的雪茄已经抽了大半，现在他不停地转动着雪茄，似乎在欣赏烟头透出的火光。——刘慈欣《三体》
3、与外星文明的接触一旦建立，人类社会将受到什么样的和何种程度的影响，这作为一个严肃的课题被系统深入地研究，还只是近两年的事。但这项研究急剧升温，得出的结论令人震惊。
以前天真的理想主义愿望破灭了，学者们发现，与大多数人美好的愿望相反，人类不可能作为一个整体与外星文明接触，这种接触对人类文化产生的效应不是融合而是割裂，对人类不同文明间的冲突不是消解而是加剧。
总之，接触一旦发生，地球文明的内部差异将急剧拉大，后果可能是灾难性的。最惊人的结论是：这种效应与接触的程度和方式(单向或双向)，以及所接触的外星文明的形态和进化程度，没有任何关系！——刘慈欣《三体》
4、太阳的运行之所以没有规律，是因为我们的世界中有三颗太阳，它们在相互引力的作用下，做着无法预测的三体运动、当我们的行星围绕着其中的一颗太阳做稳定运行时，就是恒纪元；
当另外一颗或两颗太阳运行到一定距离内，其引力会将行星从它围绕的太阳边夺走，使其在三颗太阳的引力范围内游移不定时，就是乱纪元；
一段不确定的时间后，我们的行星再次被某一颗太阳捕获，暂时建立稳定的轨道，恒纪元就又开始了。这是一场宇宙橄榄球赛，运动员是三颗大阳，我们的世界就是球！——刘慈欣《三体》
5、两个智子到达地球后，第一个任务就是定位人类用于物理学研究的高能加速器，然后潜伏于其中。在地球文明的科学水平上，对物质深层结构研究所采用的基本方法，就是用经过加速的高能粒子撞击选定的靶标粒子，当靶标粒子被撞碎后；
对结果进行分析，以图找出反映物质深层结构的信息。在实际的实验中，是用含有靶标粒子的物质作为撞击目标，物质的内部几乎全是空的，如果一个原子有一座剧院那么大，原子核则只是悬浮在剧院中的一个核桃。——刘慈欣《三体》
『伍』 求英文小说中描写人物的精彩段落
1、大门开了，走进来一位年轻的邮递员。只见他全身衣服湿透了，裤腿卷得高高的，从膝盖到脚全沾满了泥水，好像刚从泥地里爬起来似的。他手里捧着一包用油布包着落邮件，顾不上抹脸上的雨水，对屋里人说：“《儿童时代》来啦！”
2、姐姐身材苗条，长得很健壮，比我整整高了一个头。她的脖子略长些，惹我生气时，我就会喊她“长劲鹿”。她剪着挺有精神的运动头，看起你来，两眼忽闪忽闪的，好像会说话。
3、这个青年看上去不到二十岁，两条弯弯的眉毛下有一双机灵的眼睛，一看就知道是个能干的人。在一只挺标致的鼻子下面，却是一张大嘴，生得两片厚厚的嘴唇。人们常说：“厚嘴唇的人笨嘴拙舌。”可是他却能说会道，是个健谈的人。
4、哥哥的眼睛高度近视，处处离不开眼镜，就像个“睁眼瞎子”一样，只要把他的眼镜摘下来，在我面前他就像绵羊一样服服帖帖。一天下午，哥哥要洗头了。他吩咐我给他拿肥皂换水。我得意地想：哼！我先给你跑跑腿，然后再治你。一会儿，哥哥伸长了脖子，把肥皂沫打得满头满脸都是。我一看时机到了，就悄悄地把哥哥的盆拿走了。哥哥搓完后去洗头，一捧水，捧了个空。他忙去找，可刚一睁眼，肥皂沫就杀得他直流眼泪。他像盲人摸路一样，东摸摸，西摸摸，好容易才摸起了毛巾，把眼一擦，可眼睛还是模糊的，就去找他的眼镜。
5、等她走近，我才有机会仔细地打量了她一番：只见她齐耳的短发，一双眼睛大大的，嘴角还带着笑。上身穿一件红色衣服，别着“苏州十中”的校微。她温和地对我说：“小妹妹，坐我的车吧！”说着，她把自行车推了过来。
6、二哥是卖海产品的，他一年四季风里来雨里去，起早贪黑，非常辛苦。他个子不高，长相也不怎么太好，有时让人看了不像好人，但他卖的货下得快，周围的商贩都佩服他。
7、车厢里，一位高挑个儿的姑娘，依窗眺望。她结实，健美。微微卷曲的黑发拢在脑后，扎成两绺，轻巧地垂挂着。深红色的运动衫领子，悄悄地露出深蓝色的外套。可以感觉到，这个姑娘的身上充满着青春的活力和蓬勃的朝气。
8、我的叔叔二十来岁，是个码头工人，长方脸，脸色黑里透红，个儿挺高，长得很结实，叫人一看就知道是个身强力壮的小伙子。
9、在老妈妈的左边有一位秀丽端庄的姑娘，斜倚在椅子上。她一头美丽的金发，一条大辫子一直拖到背部。一身黑裙更衬托了她白净柔美的脸庞。她低着头朝前面望着什么，眼神中流露出悲愤和关怀。手中的绷带已经卷好，却忘记丢入筐中。
10、这是个二十岁出头的姑娘，圆脸蛋润润的，眉很赤，细长的双眼闪动着爽直的、热乎乎的目光；老是未言先笑，语言也带着笑，像唱歌似的。她走路时把身子的重心放在足尖上，总像要蹦跳、要飞。一眼就可以看出，她是个纯真而欢乐的女孩子，奇怪的是她那过分素净的打扮，与她的性格很不相称，也和那些爱漂亮的缫丝姑娘迥然不同：蓝布棉袄，黑粗呢短大衣，草绿色长裤，脖子上的纱巾是白的，扎小辫的头绳是根黑毛线。
11、我哥哥刚满二十岁，五大三粗的身材，劲鼓鼓的。头发又黑又硬，一根根向上竖立着，两道浓眉下衬着一双大眼睛，瞪起眼看人就像小老虎。特别是那双大脚板，穿上42码的球鞋，走起路来蹬蹬响。
12、表姐刚来的时候，身穿一件方格衬衣，补了几块补丁，脚穿一双沾着泥土的白凉鞋，走路说话都不敢大声，我们都说她土里土气。可是现在，我们不敢说表姐了。你看她穿一件漂亮的上衣，一条紧身牛仓裤，一双锃亮的高跟鞋，脖子上戴着闪光的金项链，肩上披着长长的黑发，显得神气大方。回到家里又说又笑，像生活在蜜糖中一样。
13、说她是阿姨倒不如说她是大姐姐，她顶多不过二十岁，穿一件褪色的素花格上衣，短短的小辫齐到肩头。她总是笑眯眯的，一会儿清晰地报站名，一会儿迅速地点钱、售票，耐心地回答外地乘客提出的种种问题。她那热情、和蔼的语言，使车厢里充满了春意，这春意温暖着每个乘客的心。
14、星期天，我去排队买米。在我前面的是一个男青年，他算不上胖，但也够健壮的了。圆圆的脸庞上，两道细眉，一双大眼睛，配上稍小了点的鼻子，也还算匀称。就是嘴唇厚了点，像非洲人似的。
15、哥哥只有二十多岁，一头黑发，中等个子，身材匀称。他说不上很漂亮，但是五官端正，从他眼睛里可以看出他是个聪明而有精力的年轻人。他给人安静与和善的感觉，而且脸上还带着孩子般的稚气。
16、哥哥在我们村农机队开拖拉机。他个子高高的！身体很魁梧，黑红的脸上有一块块伤疤，每当我抬起头看到这些伤疤的时候，脑海里便浮现出了一位拖拉机手给我描述的动人故事……
17、姐姐十八九岁。由于奔跑和焦急，圆圆的脸上渗出了汗珠儿，仿佛一个沾着露水的熟透的苹果。她的两只眼睛像黑宝石一样，亮晶晶的，闪耀着聪敏、慧巧、活泼和刚毅的光芒；秀长的睫毛，好像清清的湖水旁边的密密的树林，给人一种深邃而又神秘的感觉。乌黑的长发，即柔软又纤细，随着河风在脑后飘拂着。
18、这时候，一个高个子青年人匆匆忙忙地朝了钢口跑去。他头上戴着鸭舌帽，鸭舌前吊着一副蓝色的眼镜，满脸通红，流着汗水，脚穿帆布袜子和厚鞋，手上戴着帆布手套。
19、一个十七八岁的姑娘，坐在旁边的一块石头上。黑红的脸颊上沾满了灰尘。她并不像有些小贩那样起劲地吆喝，只是等有人来问时才答上几句，说起话来总是低着头，显得有些腼腆。
20、看他年纪不过二十来岁，脸色苍白，像没有睡好觉似的皮泡脸肿。他老是皱着眉头，不大说话。笑纹几乎在他的脸上是绝了迹似的。他穿着一个褪了色的蓝布大褂，好像永远是穿着这么一个一样。清瘦的下巴壳，亮耸的肩膀，显得很没生气。
21、我的哥哥大方，热情，开朗，大大咧咧，莽莽撞撞，长得像头小牛犊似的，打篮球是中锋；打排球是主攻手；游泳，更是“浪里蛟龙”，十岁时就横渡长江，成为当年横渡长江队伍中年纪最小的选手，照片还登上了《长江日报》。不到十五岁，个子也长得一米七六，大伙儿都说这是块运动员的料子。
22、靠近东窗，坐着一个年轻的解放军战士。被汗水浸透了洗得发白的军衣，紧裹着他那健壮而匀称的身躯。他那白中透红的清秀的面孔，像涂了油彩似的闪闪发光。两条漆黑的、细长的眉毛，有力地向上扬，将到顶端时，才弯成形。一双像熟透了的葡萄一样又黑又大的眼睛，机灵地、警觉地扫视着充满汗味和传出鼾声的车厢。他的右手，很自然地伸到衣襟下面，汗湿的手掌，轻轻握着腰间的小手枪。
23、这个二十多岁的女司机，倒是有股生龙活虎的劲头，那短短的头发，那裹在脖子上的手巾，那被太阳晒和汗水渍得褪色的花布衣服，表明她常在露天的环境中工作。她没有那种职业女司机戴着墨镜洒脱高傲的神态，看那架势，好像是开“东方红”或者“铁牛55”的。
24、这时，一阵热烈的掌声打断了他的思绪，他猛的一抬头，看见肖大名正从讲台上走下来。他立马又紧张起来。他的目光四处移动，似乎在搜寻什么，他是那么的不安，甚至不敢接触任何人的目光。然后他又把头低下去，好像怕被别人看见似的。他的十个手指头不停地搓来搓去，一会儿便被汗水打湿了，滑滑的。
25、“怎么办呢，该不该上去呢？”唐明贼似的看看四周，比先前更紧张了，两腿在桌底下直发抖。“去，一定得上去，这是最后一个竞选项目了，为了以后同学们能对我另眼相看，我一定要竞选到这劳动委员。……可是……”唐明深深地咽下一口口水，头低得快贴到桌上了，呼吸更急促了。“李华一下来，我就上去……”他这么想。
『陆』 英语好段摘抄
A great many people, when they speak of home, tend to associate it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings, and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.许多人在谈到家的时候往往将它和某种气氛,某种环境及内心的某些情感态度联系在一起.这种对家的依恋情感古已有之,代代相传.许多现代人不再有了,我认为这是件好事.In the old days life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could summon the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men. Only the bravest went beyond the small family area. Even in the Middle Ages only the most daring went to lands beyond sea. The human pursuit of security conditioned men to love their homes. I am sure that this feeling must have been very strong among the early settlers of the United States who were obliged, by famine and oppression, to take the plunge and go to the new land where they knew no one and where they were subject to Indian attack. We can see this even today in the attitudes of minority groups who, because of a feeling of insecurity, still preserve cohesive family ties.在遥远的过去，人们生活十分艰难．敌人可能会攻击你，杀害你或抢动你的财富，而你却毫无还手之力．人们并不住在可以锁门闭户的构造坚固的房子里．他们没有一支有组织的警察队伍的保护，也不能随时打电话报警．这些怎样影响人们对于家的感情呢？小小家庭的成员紧密团结，聚在一起，共同抵御野兽和敌人．只有最勇敢的人才离开小小的家族管辖区．甚至在中世纪也只有最勇敢的人才敢涉足海外．人类对安全的追求决定了人们对家的热爱．我相信，美国的早期定居者对此一定深有感触．他们被饥茺压迫得走投无路，只好毅然决定冒险来到这个举目元亲．易爱印第安人攻击的陌生的地方．甚至今天，我们从少数民族团体的态度也可以看出这一点．由于缺乏安全感，他们仍然保持着富有凝聚力的家庭纽带．Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized societies, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents’ homes and lived in dwellings of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word home been altered by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.今天，由于有了现代交通和组织良好的社会，成千上万的人们愿意并且渴望离开他们出生的环境．而且，他们离家外出越频繁，对出生的环境的情感就可能越少．我曾经在英国，他们只需拿起电话，要求一家房地产经销处提供一幢房子或一个套间，那就是他们的家了．家这个词的意义是如何被这种行为改变的呢？家对于那些经常流动，从一家旅馆到另一家旅馆居住的人们或家庭成员又意味着什么呢？我认为，家对他们来说是一个离群独外不受干扰的地方．This idea of home as being a place of privacy is emerging in my country, Saudi Arabia, where the young are abandoning their parents’ homes to live their own life. As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment. Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. At the moment it is a room in Eaton Hall. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother sobbed and wept. My father, however, indicated that he understood how I felt. “Son,” he said, “I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time.在我的国家沙特陈拉伯，年轻人放弃父母的家去过他们自己的生活．这种把家作为私人独处这地的看法正在我的国家形成．我对父母居住之地的气氛，环境没有眷恋的情感．家就是一个我能关起门来独处的地方．现在我的家就是伊登宿舍的一个房间．几年前当我离开父母时，我没有恋恋不舍，巴不得快快离开．你也许会觉得这是无情无义，然而那确实是我的感受．我离家去美国寻卫，祖母呜咽，泪流不止．但我的父亲却表时他能理解我的心情．”孩子”他说”我对于你的离去并觉得悲伤．我只希望你能充分利用时间．” Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
·第二篇： Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如给我三天光明（节选）
Three Days to See
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.
The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in alt life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time ring his early alt life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
·第三篇：Companionship of Books 以书为伴（节选）
Companionship of Books
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting procts of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad procts; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.
Books introce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.

《海底两万里》是一部科幻小说，于一八七0年问世，暨今已逾百年，而仍能以多种文字的各种版本风行世界，广有读者，仅此一端，即可见其生命力之强，吸引力之大。主张书不及百岁不看的读者，是大可放心一阅的。 书中人物寥寥，有名有姓的只有四个半——“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号驱逐舰舰长法拉格特，只在小说开头部分昙花一现，姑且算半个；内景只是一艘潜水艇。但就是这么四个半人，这么一艘潜水艇，在将近一年的时间中，纵横海底两万里，为我们演绎出一个个故事，展现出一幅幅画面；故事曲折惊险，引人入胜，画面多姿多彩，气象万千。这样一部小说，读来既使人赏心悦目，也令人动魄惊心。 故事并不复杂：法国人阿罗纳克斯，一位博物学家，应邀赴美参加一项科学考察活动。其时，海上出了个怪物，在全世界闹得沸沸扬扬。科考活动结束之后，博物学家正准备束装就道，返回法国，却接到美国海军部的邀请，于是改弦更张，登上了一艘驱逐舰，参与“把那个怪物从海洋中清除出去 ”的活动。经过千辛万苦，“怪物”未被清除，驱逐舰反被“怪物”重创，博物学家和他的仆人以及为清除“怪物”被特意请到驱逐舰上来的一名捕鲸手，都成了“怪物”的俘虏!“怪物”非他，原来是一艘尚不为世人所知的潜水艇，名“鹦鹉螺”号。潜艇对俘虏倒也优待；只是，为了保守自己的秘密，潜艇艇长内莫从此。永远不许他们离开。阿罗纳克斯一行别无选择，只能跟着潜水艇周游各大洋。十个月之后，这三个人终于在极其险恶的情况下逃脱，博物学家才得以把这件海底秘密公诸于世。《海底两万里》写的主要是他们在这十个月里的经历。 《海底两万里》已经有几种中译本，“两万里”也就成了个约定俗成的说法；究其实，这里的“里”指的是法国古里，而古法里又有海陆之分，一古海里约合5.556公里，一古陆里约合4.445公里；既然是在海底周游，这里的两万里，理应为两万古海里。如此说来，他们在海底行驶的路程，就应该在十一万公里以上了。这是要说明的。 十一万公里的行程，是个大场面，一路所见，可以说无奇不有。谁见过海底森林?谁见过海底煤矿?谁见过“养”在贝壳里、价值连城的大珍珠?当了俘虏的阿罗纳克斯和他的朋友们都见到了，而且曾经徜徉其间。他们在印度洋的珠场和鲨鱼展开过搏斗，捕鲸手兰德手刃了一条凶恶的巨鲨；他们在红海里追捕过一条濒于绝种的儒艮，儒艮肉当晚就被端上了餐桌；他们在大西洋里和章鱼进行过血战，一名船员惨死；这些场面，都十分惊心动魄。此外，书中还描写了抹香鲸如何残杀长须鲸，“鹦鹉螺”号潜艇又是如何杀死成群的抹香鲸的，那情景也十分罕见。 阿罗纳克斯是个博物学家，博古通今，乘潜艇在水下航行，使他饱览了海洋里的各种动植物；他和他那位对分类学入了迷的仆人孔塞伊，将这些海洋生物向我们做了详实的介绍，界、门、纲、目、科、属、种，说得井井有条，使读者认识了许多海洋生物；阿罗纳克斯还把在海洋中见到的种种奇观，一一娓娓道来，令读者大开眼界，知道了什么是太平洋黑流，什么是墨西哥暖流，飓风是怎样形成的，马尾藻海又是什么样……我们知道珊瑚礁是怎样形成的吗?知道海洋究竟有多深吗?知道海水传播声音的速度有多快吗?这一类知识，书中比比皆是。 “鹦鹉螺”号也曾遇险，在珊瑚礁上搁过浅，受到过巴布亚土著的袭击，最可怕的是，在南极被厚厚的冰层困住，艇内缺氧，艇上的人几乎不能生还。但是，凭着潜艇的精良构造和艇长的超人智慧，种种险境，均被化解，终于完成了十一万公里的海底行程。 凡尔纳时代，潜水艇刚刚面世，还是一种神秘的东西；“鹦鹉螺”号艇长内莫又是个身世不明之人，他逃避人类，蛰居海底，而又隐隐约约和陆地上的某些人有一种特殊联系。凡此种种，都给小说增加了一层神秘色彩。既是小说，人物当然是虚构的，作家给“鹦鹉螺”号艇长取的拉丁文名字，更明白无误地指出了这一点——“内莫”，在拉丁文里是子虚乌有的意思。但这并没有妨碍作者把他描写成一个有血有肉、让读者觉得可信的人物。 本书作者儒勒·凡尔纳(1828—1905)是法国科幻小说家，现代科幻小说的重要奠基人。他出生在一个律师家庭，很小的时候就产生了强烈的探索欲望和丰富的想像力。他博览群书，厚积薄发，第一部科幻小说《气球上的五星期》，一炮打响，引起轰动，使他成了个家喻户晓的人物。他后来一发而不可收，又写了一系列科学幻想冒险小说，卷帙浩繁，不下六七十种，被收入一套名为《奇异的旅行》的丛书。《海底两万里》是凡尔纳著名三部曲的第二部，前有《格兰特船长的儿女》，后有《神秘岛》。作者想像力丰富，文笔细腻，构思奇巧，其作品既引人人胜，又很有教育意义，适合各种年龄的读者。而且，凡尔纳的幻想不是异想天开，都以科学为依据；他所预见到的很多器械，后来都变成了现实生活中的实有之物。
