Sir Francis watched the procession with a sad countenance, and, turning to the guide, said, " A suttee" .

柯罗马蒂先生注视着过往的人。他脸上露出了很不自在的神色，转身对向导说：" 那是殉葬？"

It was quite unlikely that he should be arrested for preventing a suttee.

为火葬的事抓我们？那绝对不可能！

All dressed up and mooning around like the prologue to a suttee.

打扮得漂漂亮亮的， 就像苏蒂的序幕样。

Phileas Fogg had heard what Sir Francis said, and, as soon as the procession had disappeared, asked: " What is a suttee" ?

福克先生已经听见了柯罗马蒂说的话。游行队伍刚走完，他就问：" 殉葬是怎么回事？"

" The suttee, did you say" ? " I'll thank you to keep a civil tongue in your head. Here. Now lay him down" .

里，把他放下吧。"

" A suttee, " returned the general, " is a human sacrifice, but a voluntary one. The woman you have just seen will be burned to–morrow at the dawn of day" .

" 福克先生，" 旅长回答说，" 殉葬就是用活人来作牺牲的祭品。可是种活祭是殉葬者甘心情愿的。您刚看见的那个女人明天天亮就要被烧死。"

" I have always thought, " he said reflectively, " that the system of mourning, of immuring women in crepe for the rest of their lives and forbidding them normal enjoyment is just as barbarous as the Hindu suttee" .

" 我常常想，" 他沉思，" 服丧制度，让女人披着黑纱关在屋子里度过她们剩下的生，简直就像印度**殉夫样的野蛮。"
