THIS BRUTALLY EXECUTED capture was carried out with lightning speed.
像闪电一般炔，他们粗一暴地把我们架进这只潜水船中。
My companions and I had no time to collect ourselves. I don't know how they felt about being shoved inside this aquatic prison, but as for me, I was shivering all over.
我的伙伴和我，简直连辨明方向的时间都没有。他们走进这浮动的监牢中，心中会有什么感觉，我可不知道：但我自己却不禁打了个寒战，感觉皮肤都冰凉了。
With whom were we dealing? Surely with some new breed of pirates, exploiting the sea after their own fashion.
我们跟谁打交道呢?无疑地是跟一些新型的横行海上的海盗打交道。
The narrow hatch had barely closed over me when I was surrounded by profound darkness.Saturated with the outside light, my eyes couldn't make out a thing.
我们一进去，上面狭小的盖板立即关上了，四周是漆黑的一一团一。从光亮的地方，突然进入黑暗中，我的眼睛什么也看不见。
I felt my naked feet clinging to the steps of an iron ladder.
我感到我的光脚是紧紧地踩在一架铁梯上。
Forcibly seized, Ned Land and Conseil were behind me.
尼德兰和康塞尔，被人们抓得紧紧的，跟在我后面。
At the foot of the ladder, a door opened and instantly closed behind us with a loud clang.
铁梯下一面一扇门打开了，我们走进去以后，门就立即关上，发出很响亮的声音。
We were alone. Where? I couldn't say, could barely even imagine.
关在里面的，现在单单剩下我们了。在什么地方呢?我说不出来，甚至也猜不出来。
All was darkness, but such utter darkness that after several minutes,
只见一片漆黑，竟黑到这么一种程度。
my eyes were still unable to catch a single one of those hazy gleams that drift through even the blackest nights.
在几分钟后，就是通常在最黑暗的夜间浮来浮去的那种模糊光线，我的眼睛也一点没碰到。
