Audiobook Dictation: “It seems to me as if…”

It seems to me as if my companions, the moment they touched me, would receive a severe shock like that from an electric eel.

我覺得，同伴們一碰到我，就會像碰到電鰻一樣受到猛烈的電擊。

At ten in the morning the symptoms of storm become aggravated.

上午十點，風暴的徵兆愈發明顯。

The wind never lulls but to acquire increased strength; the vast bank of heavy clouds is a huge reservoir of fearful windy gusts and rushing storms.

風稍一平息，便又積蓄更大的力量；那一大片沉重的雲層，猶如一座裝滿可怕狂風與暴雨的巨大水庫。

I am loth to believe these atmospheric menaces, and yet I cannot help muttering:

我不願相信這些天象的威脅，卻還是忍不住喃喃自語：

The Professor made no answer.

教授沒有回答。

His temper is awful, to judge from the working of his features, as he sees this vast length of ocean unrolling before him to an indefinite extent.

看他面部肌肉抽動的樣子，眼見這片遼闊的海洋在面前無邊無際地鋪展開去，他的脾氣可想而知有多糟。

He can only spare time to shrug his shoulders viciously.

他只顧得上惡狠狠地聳一聳肩。

"There's a heavy storm coming on," I cried, pointing towards the horizon.

「一場大風暴要來了。」我指著地平線喊道。

"Those clouds seem as if they were going to crush the sea."

「那些雲好像要把大海壓垮似的。」

A deep silence falls on all around.

四周陷入一片死寂。
