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

中心的四千间屋子里四千座电钟同敲了四点。

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

但无可改变的是，他床头电钟的分外每三十秒就要发出几乎听不见的一声“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电子钟的嗡嗡声， 听着间。

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的大电子钟今天早上5点25分再次起。几乎了。

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.

里头还装着电铃和传话筒，可以跟地下室和二层楼的各个屋子联系。壁炉上面有个电挂钟，它跟福克先生卧室里的挂钟对好了钟点。两个钟确地同敲，一秒钟也不差。
