前　　言

儒勒·凡尔纳（Jules Verne，1828—1905），法国著名作家，现代科幻小说的奠基人，被誉为“世界科幻小说之父”。他一生共创作了六十多部充满神奇与浪漫色彩的科幻小说，这些小说被译成世界上几十种文字，并无数次被搬上银幕，在世界上广为流传。
　　1828年2月8日，凡尔纳出生在法国西部海港南特。他自幼热爱海洋，向往远航探险。他的父亲是一位事业成功的律师，并希望凡尔纳日后也以律师作为职业。18岁时，他遵从父训到巴黎攻读法律。可是他对法律毫无兴趣，却爱上了文学和戏剧。1863年，他发表了第一部科幻小说《气球上的五星期》，之后又出版了使他获得巨大声誉的科幻小说三部曲：《格兰特船长的儿女》、《海底两万里》和《神秘岛》。凡尔纳的科幻小说是真实性与大胆幻想的结合：奇幻的故事情节、鲜明的人物形象、丰富而奇妙的想象、浓郁的浪漫主义风格和生活情趣，使之产生了巨大的艺术魅力，赢得了全世界各国读者，特别是青少年读者的喜爱。他的作品中所表现的自然科学方面的许多预言和假设，在他去世之后得以印证和实现，至今仍然启发着人们的想象力和创造力。

　　1828年2月8日，凡尔纳出生在法国西部海港南特。他自幼热爱海洋，向往远航探险。他的父亲是一位事业成功的律师，并希望凡尔纳日后也以律师作为职业。18岁时，他遵从父训到巴黎攻读法律。可是他对法律毫无兴趣，却爱上了文学和戏剧。1863年，他发表了第一部科幻小说《气球上的五星期》，之后又出版了使他获得巨大声誉的科幻小说三部曲：《格兰特船长的儿女》、《海底两万里》和《神秘岛》。凡尔纳的科幻小说是真实性与大胆幻想的结合：奇幻的故事情节、鲜明的人物形象、丰富而奇妙的想象、浓郁的浪漫主义风格和生活情趣，使之产生了巨大的艺术魅力，赢得了全世界各国读者，特别是青少年读者的喜爱。他的作品中所表现的自然科学方面的许多预言和假设，在他去世之后得以印证和实现，至今仍然启发着人们的想象力和创造力。 
　　凡尔纳的科幻小说有两大特点。第一，他的作品是丰富的幻想和科学知识的结合。虽然凡尔纳笔下的幻想极为奇特、大胆，但其中有着坚实的科学基础，这些作品既是科学精神的幻想曲，也是富有幻想色彩的科学预言，他的许多科幻猜想最后变成了现实。例如，他不仅在小说《从地球到月球》中用大炮将探月飞行器送上太空，甚至还将发射场安排在了美国佛罗里达州，这正是“阿波罗登月计划”的发射场；他在小说《海底两万里》中虚构了“鹦鹉螺号”潜水艇，在该小说出版10年后，第一艘真正的潜水艇才下水；在《征服者罗比尔》中有一个类似直升飞机的飞行器，数十年后人类才将这一设想变成了现实。此外，他的小说中还出现了电视、霓虹灯、导弹、坦克和太空飞船等科学技术应用概念，而这些后来都变成了现实。第二，他的作品中的主人公是一些鲜明、生动而富有进取心和正义感的人物，他们或是地理发现者、探险家、科学家、发明家，他们具有超人的智慧、坚强的毅力和执着不懈的精神；或是反对民族歧视、民族压迫的战士，反对社会不公的抗争者，追求自由的旅行家，在他们身上具有反压迫、反强权、反传统的战斗精神，他们热爱自由、热爱平等，维护人的尊严。凡尔纳所塑造的这些人物形象，他们远大的理想、坚强的性格、优秀的品质和高尚的情操已赢得了亿万读者的喜爱和尊敬，并一直成为人们向往的偶像和学习的榜样。 
　　1900年，儒勒·凡尔纳的第一部中译本小说《八十天周游地球》被介绍给中国的读者，直至新中国成立之前，陆续又有梁启超、鲁迅等文化名人将凡尔纳的作品翻译出版。20世纪50年代后期，凡尔纳的科幻小说又开始为国内翻译界和出版界所关注，20世纪80年代，凡尔纳的作品再次受到读者的青睐，国内许多出版社相继翻译出版了凡尔纳的科幻小说，一时形成了“凡尔纳热”。时至今日，凡尔纳的科幻小说仍然显示出旺盛的生命力。基于以上原因，我们决定编译凡尔纳科幻小说中的三部经典作品：《神奇的地下之城》、《从地球到月球》和《环月旅行》，并采用中文导读英文版的形式出版。在中文导读中，我们尽力使其贴近原作的精髓，也尽可能保留原作的风格。我们希望能够编出为当代中国读者所喜爱的经典读本。读者在阅读英文故事之前，可以先阅读中文导读，这样有利于了解故事背景，从而加快阅读速度。同时，为了读者更好地理解故事内容，书中加入了大量插图。我们相信，这些经典著作的引进对加强当代中国读者，特别是青少年读者的科学素养和人文修养是非常有帮助的。 
　　本书主要内容由王勋、纪飞编译。参加本书故事素材搜集整理及编译工作的还有郑佳、刘乃亚、赵雪、左新杲、黄福成、冯洁、徐鑫、马启龙、王业伟、王旭敏、陈楠、王多多、邵舒丽、周丽萍、王晓旭、李永振、孟宪行、熊红华、胡国平、熊建国、徐平国、王小红、李新生、傅建平、熊志勇、蔡红昌、马莹莹、曹隽、张镇、张文绮、彭勇、傅颖等。限于我们的科学、人文素养和英语水平，书中可能会有一些不当之处，衷心希望读者朋友批评指正。

The purely scientific attraction was suddenly intensified by
thefollowing incident：
　　We have seen what legions of admirers and friends
Barbicane‘sproject had rallied round its author.There was，
however，one singleindividual alone in all the States of the Union
who protested againstthe attempt of the Gun Club. He attacked it
furiously on everyopportunity，and human nature is such that
Barbicane felt morekeenly the opposition ofthat one man than he did
the applause of allthe others. He was well aware of the motive of
this antipathy， theorigin of this solitary enmity，the cause of its
personality and oldstanding， and in what rivalry of self-love it
had its rise.
　　This persevering enemy the president of the Gun Club hadnever
seen. Fortunate that it was so，for a meeting between the twomen
would certainly have been attended with serious consequences.This
rival was a man of science， like Barbicane himself，of a
fiery，daring， and violent disposition； a pure Yankee. His name was
Captain Nicholl，he lived at Philadelphia.
　　Most people are aware of the curious struggle which
aroseduring the Federal war between the guns and armor of
iron-platedships.The result was the entire reconstruction of the
navy of boththe continents；as the one grew heavier， the other
became thicker inproportion. The Merrimac，the Monitor， the
Tennessee，theWeehawken discharged enormous projectiles
themselves，after having been armor-clad against the projectiles of
others.In fact they did to others that which they would not they
should do to them that grand principle of immortality upon which
rests the whole art
　　of war.
　　Now if Barbicane was a great founder of shot，Nicholl was a
great forger of plates；the one cast night and day at Baltimore，the
other forged day and night at Philadelphia.As soon as ever
Barbicane invented a new shot，Nicholl invented a new plate；each
followed a current ofideas essentially opposed to the other.Happily
for these citizens，so useful to their country，a distance of from
fifty to sixty miles separated them from one another，and they had
never yet met. Which of these two inventors had the advantage over
the other it was difficult to decide from the results obtained. By
last　 accounts，however，it would seem that the armor-plate would in
the end have to give way to the shot；nevertheless，there were
　　competent judges who had their doubts on the point.At the last
experiment the cylindro-conical projectiles of Barbicane stuck like
so many pins in the Nicholl plates.On that day the Philadelphia
iron-forger then believed himself victorious，and could not evince
contempt enough for his rival；but when the other　afterward
substituted for conical shot simple 600-pound shells，at very
moderate velocity，the captain was obliged to give in. In fact，these
projectiles knocked his best metal plate to shivers.
　　Matters were at this stage， and victory seemed to rest with
the shot，when the war came to an end on the very day when
Nichollhad completed a new armor-plate of wrought steel.It was
amasterpiece of its kind， and bid defiance to all the projectiles
of theworld. The captain had it conveyed to the Polygon at
Washington，challenging the president of the Gun Club to break it.
Barbicane，peace having been declared，declined to try the
experiment.
　　Nicholl，now furious，offered to expose his plate to the shock
of any shot，solid，hollow，round，or conical.Refused by the
president，who did not choose to compromise his last success.
　　Nicholl，disgusted by this obstinacy，tried to tempt Barbicaneby
offering him every chance.He proposed to fix the plate within two
hundred yards of the gun.Barbicane still obstinate in refusal. A
hundred yards？ Not even seventy-five！
　　“At fifty then！”roared the captain through the
newspapers.“At　twentv-five yards！ And I’ll stand behind！”
