repetition of mystery, ominous feelings I went below-not without a full presentiment of evil 我回到舱房——心中不无一种大祸临头的预感 I went as passenger-having no other inducement than a kind of nervous restlessness which haunted me as a fiend 我这次旅行只有一个原因,那就是我感到了一种像是魔鬼附身似的心神不定。 I went below-not without a full presentiment of evil.
