1 And now, how can I look back upon the impression left upon me by that walk under the waters? Words are not enough to relate such wonders! Captain Nemo walked in front, one of his men following some steps behind. Conseil and I remained near each other, as if an exchange of words had been possible through our metal cases. I no longer felt the weight of my clothes, or of my shoes, of my air supply, or my thick helmet, inside which my head shook like a nut in its shell.

2 The light, which lit the soil thirty feet below the surface of the ocean, astonished me by its power. The solar rays shone through the watery mass easily, and consumed all colour, and I clearly distinguished objects at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards. Beyond that the colours darkened into fine shades of deep blue, and gradually disappeared. Truly this water which surrounded me was but another air heavier than the Earth’s atmosphere, but almost as clear.

Above me was the calm surface of the sea. We were walking on fine, even sand, not wrinkled, as on a flat shore, which keeps the impression of the waves. This dazzling carpet, really a reflector, drove away the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity, which accounted for the vibration which passed through every atom of liquid. Shall I be believed when I say that, at the depth of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight?

Do the two words hold the same meaning?
How do you understand this sentence?
本句出现了两个but,第一处 but为副词,表示“仅仅”;第二处but为连词,表示“但是”。
真的,环绕在我四周的水仿佛不过是一种气体,比地球的大气更稠密,却几乎一样透明。
