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

中心四千间屋子里四千座电同四点。

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，他床头电分外每三十秒就要发出乎听不见一声“嗒”，跳前一步。

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电子声， 听着间。

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.

里头还装着电铃和传话筒，可以跟地下室和二层楼各个屋子联系。壁炉上面有个电挂，它跟福克先生卧室里挂对好点。两个准确地同响，一秒也不差。
