In the four thousand rooms of the Centre the four thousand electric clocks simultaneously struck four.

中心四千间屋里四千座同时敲了四点。

But inexorably, every thirty seconds, the minute hand of the electric clock above his bed jumped forward with an almost imperceptible click.

但无可改变是，他床头分外每三十秒就要发出几乎听不见一声“嗒”，前一步。

He stayed in the big room a long time listening to the buzz of the electric clock, listening to time.

他在大房间里久久地听着嗡嗡声， 听着时间。

The big electric clock in the lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started again at 5: 25 this morning. It was almost on time.

曼哈顿市中心华尔道夫酒店大堂大今天早上5点25分再次准时响起。几乎准时了。

Electric bells and speaking-tubes afforded communication with the lower stories; while on the mantel stood an electric clock, precisely like that in Mr. Fogg's bedchamber, both beating the same second at the same instant.

里头还装着铃和传话筒，可以跟地下室和二层楼各个屋联系。壁炉上面有个挂，它跟福克先生卧室里挂对好了点。两个准确地同时敲响，一秒也不差。
