Reflections on Two Wan Li under the Sea
Jules verne (1828.2.8. 1905) was born in Nantes, a western French port city. He lived and studied on Fayed Island by the Lauard River, which was a part of the city until he graduated from middle school. My father is a successful lawyer, and he is bent on his son's inheritance. But Verne loved the ocean since he was a child and longed for sailing and adventure. 1 1 years old, he volunteered to go aboard as an apprentice and sailed to India, only to be found by his family and taken home. For this reason, Verne was severely beaten. He lay in bed with tears and vowed, "I will only lie in bed and fantasize about traveling in the future." Perhaps it was this childhood experience that objectively prompted Verne to gallop in fantasy all his life and create so many famous sci-fi works.

/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, he went to Paris to study law at the behest of his father, but he had no interest in law, but fell in love with literature and drama. Once, Verne left early from a party, and when he went downstairs, he was suddenly childlike and slipped down the handrail of the stairs, not wanting to bump into a fat gentleman. Verne was very embarrassed. After apologizing, he casually asked each other if they had eaten. The other party replied that they had just eaten Nantes scrambled eggs. Verne shook his head and claimed that there were no authentic Nantes scrambled eggs in Paris because he was from Nantes and did a good job. The fat gentleman was overjoyed and invited Verne to perform at his door. From then on, their friendship began. They once wrote plays together, which created favorable conditions for Verne to embark on the road of creation. The fat gentleman's name is Dumas. After graduation, he devoted himself to the creation of poetry and drama. To this end, he was not only severely reprimanded by his father, but also lost financial support. He had to struggle in poverty and enjoy reading. He worships Hugo, Balzac, Dumas and Shakespeare in England. In Paris, he wrote 20 plays (unpublished) and some romantic poems.

Later, Verne collaborated with Dumas to create the drama Broken Straw, which was put on the stage, marking Verne's initial success in the literary world. In the process of continuing his creation, Verne felt that literary creation seemed to lack a way out. He found that people in the literary world were trying to find a way out and tried to integrate knowledge from other fields into drama. For example, Dumas integrated history into literature, Balzac integrated social ethics into literature ... then Verne discovered that only geography had not developed.

So Verne spent a year experimenting and created works such as Winter on the Glacier, but none of them were published.

1856, Verne came to the northern city of Amiens by train, met a beautiful widow with two children, fell in love at first sight and proposed, and then got married. Then Verne moved in and began to write seriously. He is 29 years old.

After Verne wrote "Five Weeks in a Balloon", 16 publishing house ignored him, threw himself into the fire angrily, was rescued by his wife, and sent it to 17 publishing house for publication. The editor who appreciated this book was Heckel, and Verne met his bosom friend and made a lifelong friendship with him. Hegel signed a contract with Verne to publish two science fiction novels every year.

After the publication of Five Weeks in a Balloon, Verne's creation entered a period of exploration in many aspects. He tried all kinds of writing methods and explored in all directions, but he couldn't accept them. He also wrote a series of science fiction adventure novels, numerous and numerous, which were included in the series of Strange Travel. Two Wan Li under the Sea is the second part of Verne's famous trilogy, which is preceded by Captain Grant's Children and followed by Mysterious Island. He publishes two books every year, and all his works are included in one book. The total title is Strange Travel, including Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Around the Moon, Two Wan Li under the Sea, Mysterious Island and so on. Covering land, sea and sky ... The author has rich imagination, exquisite writing and ingenious conception, and his works are both fascinating and educational, suitable for all kinds. Moreover, Verne's fantasy is not whimsical, but has scientific basis; Many of the tools he foresaw later became real things in real life.

Verne's works are full of knowledge, but he himself is a mystic of the universe and has a mysterious worship of the world. In his novels, sometimes the thinking is not deep enough and the theme is often repeated. After that, the exploration stopped, began to mature and entered a period of steady development, and he created excellent works such as Around the Earth in Eighty Days, Adventures in the Solar System (Chinese translation of Raft) and Two-year Vacation. With the increase of popularity, Verne's wealth is also growing rapidly.

However, Verne was not very happy in his later years, and his creation decreased and he entered a period of weakness. His Carpathian Castle is autobiographical, showing the unknown side of life.

March 1905, Verne was hemiplegic, lost consciousness on 24th, and died at 8: 00 on 25th.

1905 On March 28th, a grand funeral was held, and the whole world sent telegrams to mourn this great science fiction writer.

Verne's story is lively and humorous, full of fun, which can inspire people, especially teenagers, to love science and yearn for adventure. Verne is an important founder of modern science fiction. So it has been welcomed by readers all over the world for more than one hundred years. According to UNESCO, Verne is one of the top ten famous translators in the world.

Verne is an excellent writer of popular novels. He has the ability to make his illusion touchable, and his feelings are all-round, conveying some human enthusiasm from plain literature. However, the characters in Verne's novels are all the same except a few. It seems that he can't create more important characters. The characters are pure good guys and bad guys, and there is no psychological activity. From the single gender of the characters in his works, we can also see his prejudice against women, which vaguely reveals his mentality of suffering. In addition, Verne's works are full of obvious social tendencies. He is a patriot (French is the best), a national liberator (supporting the oppressed national struggle), an anarchist to some extent (showing disorder in some works), and finally a galactic imperialist (with the desire to create a cosmic empire).

But on the whole, Verne's attempt was great. Although all his works are trivial, they still excite us after reading them. As the Pope said when he met Verne in 1884, "It's not that I don't know the scientific value of your works, but what I cherish most is their purity, moral value and spiritual strength."

[Edit this paragraph] Introduction

The story is not complicated: it happened in 1866, and the Frenchman Arona Cox, a biologist, was invited to the United States for a scientific investigation. At this time, a monster appeared on the sea, causing great chaos in the world. After the expedition, the biologist was preparing to pack his bags and return to France, but he was invited by the United States Admiralty, so he changed his course and boarded a destroyer to participate in the activity of "removing that monster from the ocean".

After many hardships, the "monster" has not been removed, but the destroyer has been hit hard by the "monster". The biologist, his servant and a whaler specially invited to the destroyer to get rid of the "monster" have all become prisoners of the "monster"! It turned out that "Monster" was an unknown submarine named "Nautilus".

Submarines also give preferential treatment to prisoners; However, in order to keep his secret, the submarine captain Nemo never allowed them to leave. Arona Cox and his team had no choice but to follow the submarine around the ocean. 10 months later, the three men finally escaped under extremely dangerous circumstances, and biologists were able to make this underwater secret public.

The story begins at 1866. Pierre Aronnax is French. He is a natural historian. He is studying a big monster at the bottom of the sea. At that time, the massager of this monster was traveling all over the world. After the investigation, he will come back from abroad, and then he received an invitation from the US Navy. So he climbed up the American hunting beast and made this monster extinct.

Sadly, the monster didn't die, but Pierre Aronnax and his servant, a whaler, became prisoners of the monster-no one knew about it-a submarine called Nautilus.

They didn't stay there badly, but Captain Nemo wouldn't let them leave. They needed to keep a secret. Ten months later, they ran away and told everyone the truth.

[Edit this paragraph] Knowledge link

"Two Wan Li under the Sea" is mainly about their ten-month experience. There have been many Chinese versions of Two Wan Li under the Sea, and "Two Wan Li" has become a conventional saying. In fact, the "Li" here refers to Guri in France, which is divided into land and sea, with an ancient sea of about 5.556 kilometers and an ancient land of about 4.445 kilometers; Since it's an undersea tour, the two Wan Li here should be 20,000 nautical miles.

In this way, the distance they traveled on the seabed should exceed 1 1 10,000 kilometers. This is to be explained. 1 1 10,000 km journey is a big scene, and what you see along the way can be said to be full of wonders. Who has seen the undersea forest? Who has seen a submarine coal mine? Who has ever seen priceless pearls "raised" in shells? Pierre Aronnax, a prisoner, and his friends met him and once wandered around. They fought with sharks in the Pearl Farm in the Indian Ocean, and the whaler Ned Lan killed a fierce giant shark. They hunted an endangered dugong in the Red Sea, and the meat of the dugong was served on the table that night. They fought a bloody battle with octopus in the Atlantic Ocean, and a crew member died tragically. These scenes are very thrilling. In addition, the book also describes how sperm whales kill fin whales and how the submarine Nautilus kills groups of sperm whales, which is also very rare.

Arona Cox is a biologist, knowledgeable and well-informed, sailing underwater by submarine, which makes him appreciate all kinds of animals and plants in the ocean. He and Conseil, a servant fascinated by taxonomy, gave us a detailed introduction to these marine life, describing the world, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species in an orderly way, which made readers know many marine life. Arona has also seen various wonders in the ocean, one after another, which has opened readers' eyes, knowing what is the Pacific Black Current, what is the Mexican Warm Current, how hurricanes are formed, and what is the the sargasso sea ... Do we know how coral reefs are formed? Do you know how deep the ocean is? Do you know how fast the ocean travels sound? This kind of knowledge can be found everywhere in books.

Nautilus was also in distress, lying too shallow on the coral reef and being attacked by Papua aborigines. The most terrible thing is that people on board can hardly survive because they are trapped by thick ice at the South Pole. However, with the excellent structure of the submarine and the captain's superhuman wisdom, all kinds of dangers were resolved, and finally the submarine trip of 1 1 10,000 kilometers was completed. In Verne's time, the submarine just appeared and was still a mysterious thing; Nemo, the captain of the Nautilus, is a man of unknown origin. He escaped from human beings and lived in seclusion at the bottom of the sea, but he vaguely had a special connection with some people on land. All these add a layer of mystery to the novel.

Since it is a novel, the characters are of course fictional. The Latin name given by the author to Captain Nautilus clearly points out this point-"Nemo" has no meaning in Latin. But this does not prevent the author from describing him as a flesh-and-blood figure, which makes readers feel credible.

[Edit this paragraph] Commentators

Captain Nemo in Two Wan Li under the Sea is the main character in the novel. The knowledgeable engineer has a cool head and is calm and witty. He is not a scientist who can't stand the wind and rain in his study and greenhouse, but a national aspiration who grew up in the fire of anti-colonialism struggle. He collected gold and silver treasures at the bottom of the sea and supported the just struggle of the oppressed nations. When the motherland became a colony, he led a few like-minded people to dive into the seabed, and supported and awakened the oppressed people's struggle against colonial rule with rebellious actions and dissatisfied remarks. Verne condemned the brutal expansion of colonialists in the Indian subcontinent through Captain Nemo.

On the surface, Captain Nemo seems to be a lonely hermit with a dying heart. But from his deep heart, generate's passionate feelings show that he is a scientific soldier who always pays attention to the world political situation. Captain Nemo longed for not money and wealth, but personal freedom and happiness. He once shouted: "I don't recognize any master in the sea. I am completely free in the sea." This is Captain Nemo's heartfelt words, which truthfully expresses his strong dissatisfaction with colonial rule and embodies his pursuit of freedom. He values freedom more than anything else. In order to be free, he didn't even "go near" an inch of dirty land. He lives on the bottom of the sea, and all the necessities of life are taken from the sea. He would rather dedicate and bury the scientific achievements carefully studied for many years in the sea with his own body than serve the barbaric colonial rulers. Captain Nemo portrayed by Verne is a typical figure in the rising stage of capitalism, with humanitarianism and democratic thoughts. Under the historical conditions at that time, he represented the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie. Through his personality, we can see the enterprising spirit of the bourgeois representative in the rising stage.
