Benares was Sir Francis Cromarty's destination, the troops he was rejoining being encamped some miles northward of the city.

法兰西斯·柯罗马蒂先生要在这里下车，他的部队就驻扎在城北几英里以外的一个地方。

But he did not hesitate, and he found in Sir Francis Cromarty an enthusiastic ally.

福克先生简直是要拿他的生命去冒险，或者至少说是要拿他的自由去冒险，其结果当然也就是拿他这次旅行的成败去冒险，可是，他并没有犹豫，而且他相信柯罗马蒂还能做他的得力助手。

Phileas Fogg and Sir Francis Cromarty also saw that nothing could be attempted in that direction.

福克、柯罗马蒂跟向导一样地明白，要想打这边进去，那是办不到的了。

Normally Cromarty did read the books that he was going to be responsible for rejecting.

通常情况下，Cromarty 确实阅读了他将负责拒绝的书籍。

When an author had regretfully to be turned down it was on account of Cromarty's intransigeance.

当一位作家遗憾地被拒绝时， 那是因为克罗马蒂的顽固不化。

Mr. Fogg and Sir Francis Cromarty, after searching the village from end to end, came back without having found anything.

福克和柯罗马蒂找遍了全镇，什么也没雇着，只好空手而返。

This was Sir Francis Cromarty, one of Mr. Fogg's whist partners on the Mongolia, now on his way to join his corps at Benares.

他是从苏伊士到孟买途中跟福克一道打牌的配手。如今他要回到驻扎在贝拿勒斯附近的部队里去。

Soon after, Phileas Fogg, Sir Francis Cromarty, and Passepartout, installed in a carriage with Aouda, who had the best seat, were whirling at full speed towards Benares.

过了一会儿，福克先生、柯罗马蒂旅长和路路通已经坐在一节舒适的车厢里，艾娥达夫人占着一个最好的位子。火车飞快地开往贝拿勒斯去了。

The next day Sir Francis Cromarty asked Passepartout what time it was;to which, on consulting his watch, he replied that it was three in the morning.

第二天，10月22号，法兰西斯·柯罗马蒂问是什么时候了。路路通一面看着大银表，一面回答说是早上三点钟。

Phileas Fogg looked at Sir Francis Cromarty for an explanation; but the general could not tell what meant a halt in the midst of this forest of dates and acacias.

福克先生看着柯罗马蒂，柯罗马蒂显然也不明白为什么要在这片乌梅树林里停车。

Just at the moment that he was about to urge Kiouni forward with a peculiar whistle, Mr. Fogg stopped him, and, turning to Sir Francis Cromarty, said, " Suppose we save this woman" .

但是，当他正要吹起专用于赶象的口哨叫大象开步走的时候，福克先生止住了他，一面向柯罗马蒂说：" 我们去救这个女人，好吗？"

He had been doing quite well for himself as Cormac Ross, as far as anyone could judge, and there seemed on the surface no reason to rope in a partner; more especially a partner as colourless as Cromarty.

据任何人判断，作为科马克罗斯，他一直为自己做得很好，而且表面上似乎没有理由拉拢合伙人；尤其是像 Cromarty 这样无色的合作伙伴。
