At last , having seen the parsee carnival wind away in the distance , he was turning his steps towards the station , when he happened to espy the splendid pagoda on malabar hill , and was seized with an irresistible desire to see its interior 事实是这样的：路路通一路上看完了这场帕西人的节日仪式，就向车站走去。可是当他路过玛勒巴山，看见那座美丽的寺院的时候，他忽然心血来潮，想到里面去看看稀罕。
He seemed about to give up all hope , when he espied , anchored at the battery , a cable s length off at most , a trading vessel , with a screw , well - shaped , whose funnel , puffing a cloud of smoke , indicated that she was getting ready for departure 可是就在这时，他发现离他至多有十分之一海里的地方有一艘带有机轮装备的商船，停在炮台的前边。这条船样子很俐落，烟筒里正冒着大团的黑烟，说明它就要出海了。
Mr fogg and aouda , who were seated on deck , cast a last glance at the quay , in the hope of espying passepartout . fix was not without his fears lest chance should direct the steps of the unfortunate servant , whom he had so badly treated , in this direction ; in which case an explanation the reverse of satisfactory to the detective must have ensued 这时费克斯心里可真有点害怕，因为他怕那个被他耍花招整垮了的倒霉小伙子，也许真的正好这时候就在这个码头上出现，那时，他的西洋镜就会全给拆穿了，那他就会陷于非常不利的地位了。
