The big lensman's query was skepticism incarnate.

大镜头员质疑就是怀疑化身。

You may be right, ' the lensman pondered, his fingers drumming quietly upon his desk.

“你可能是对，”那位透镜师沉思着，手指着桌面。

If the lensman was surprised at Cloud's sudden reappearance in the laboratory, he did not show it.

如果那位透镜人对于克劳德突然在实验室现身感到惊讶，并未表露出来。

The lensman and the observer helped him into his cumbersome, heavily padded armor.

镜头师和观察员协助穿上了那件笨重且厚实防护甲。

You'll die of old age then, son, the lensman assured him.

那时你将寿终正寝，孩子，领航员向保证道。

If you take off at all, you'll take off in a suit, inside a one-man flitter, the lensman interrupted.

不管你起飞与否， 一旦起飞，你将穿着宇航服，坐在单人飞行器内， 那位透镜人插话道。

If you do that, it's apt to drop to a minimum and stay there, the lensman reminded him.

镜头师提醒，要是那样做，很可能会降到最低点并停留在那儿。

And a nurse led the visiting lensman to Cloud's bedside.

一名护士引领着来访师走到了克劳德床边。

Can't say that I have, the lensman frowned and thought.

我说不准，这位透镜人皱眉思索着。没有相关数据。

Significant enough to the initiated of the importance of this laboratory is the fact that it was headed by an unattached lensman.

对于知情者而言，这一实验室重要性不言而喻，其关键在于它由一位未隶属任何组织透镜师领导。

The lensman and the armored cloud both knew that every one of the dozens of instruments upon the flitter's special board was right to the hair.

镜头员和装甲云都清楚，飞艇特制仪表板上那数十个仪器，每一个都精准无误。

The lookout station, instead of being some such ramshackle structure as might have been deduced from the lensman's casual terminology, was, in fact, a fully equipped observatory.

瞭望站并非如镜头侠随意用语所暗示那般破旧不堪，实际上是一座设备齐全观测台。

But the instruments— The lensman was thinking not of the instruments themselves, which were valueless in comparison with life, but of the records those instruments would make.

但那些仪器——镜头人所想并非仪器本身，与生命相比， 它们毫无价值，而是这些仪器将记录下数据。 那些记录是无价之宝。
