Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World — Page 4
正如弗雷德里克·施莱格尔所言，"现代学者的研究越深入、越全面，他们对希罗多德的敬重与推崇便与日俱增。"巴克尔说："他关于埃及和小亚细亚的详尽记载，已得到所有地理学家的认可。"
Now, in the language of Frederick Schlegel, "the deeper and more comprehensive the researches of the moderns have been, the more their regard and esteem for Herodotus has increased." Buckle says, "His minute information about Egypt and Asia Minor is admitted by all geographers."
曾几何时，法老奈科派遣船队环航非洲一事备受质疑，原因是探险者声称，当他们航行至某处时，太阳竟位于其北方；这一当时令人生疑的现象，如今恰恰证明了埃及航海者确实已越过赤道，并比瓦斯科·达·伽马发现好望角早了整整两千一百年。
There was a time when the expedition sent out by Pharaoh Necho to circumnavigate Africa was doubted, because the explorers stated that after they had progressed a certain distance the sun was north of them; this circumstance, which then aroused suspicion, now proves to us that the Egyptian navigators had really passed the equator, and anticipated by 2100 years Vasquez de Gama in his discovery of the Cape of Good Hope.
倘若我能成功论证本章开篇那些颇为惊人的命题，唯有借助众多现代学者在不同领域的研究成果，将千条汇聚的光线集中照射于亚特兰蒂斯这一问题之上，方能实现。我相信，未来进一步的探索与发现，将印证我所得出结论的正确性。
If I succeed in demonstrating the truth of the somewhat startling propositions with which I commenced this chapter, it will only be by bringing to bear upon the question of Atlantis a thousand converging lines of light from a multitude of researches made by scholars in different fields of modern thought. Further investigations and discoveries will, I trust, confirm the correctness of the conclusions at which I have arrived.
