Go for the locksmith, there's one about a mile from here. 离这儿一英里有个锁匠，把他叫来—不，等一等！
But avast! putting her hand in her side-pocket, here's a key that'll fit, I guess; let's see. 她把手伸进自己的口袋，迅速掏出一把钥匙来，这回一定能开开！
And with that, she turned it in the lock; but, alas 1! Queequeg's supplemental bolt remained unwithdrawn within. 然而，魁魁格把里面的保险闩也锁上了。
Have to burst it open, said I, and was running down the entry a little, for a good start, when the landlady 2 caught at me, 不行，只有撞开了！ 我叫了一声，向后退了几步，准备运足力气撞下去。
again vowing 3 I should not break down her premises 4; but I tore from her, and with a sudden bodily rush dashed myself full against the mark. 可老板娘又拦住了我，说什么也不让毁了她的房产。我不顾一切地甩开她，没命地冲向那扇门。
With a prodigious 5 noise the door flew open, and the knob slamming against the wall, sent the plaster to the ceiling; and there, good heavens! 哗啦啦！门开了。 天哪!
There sat Queequeg, altogether cool and self-collected; right in the middle of the room; squatting 6 on his hams, and holding Yojo on top of his head. 魁魁格一丝不动地坐在房间的正中央，盘腿闭目，双手放在约约的头顶上。
He looked neither one way nor the other way, but sat like a carved image with scarce a sign of active life. 对于冲进屋来的这一群人他不闻不问，泰然不动，好像什么也没发生，完全像一尊雕像。
Queequeg, said I, going up to him, Queequeg, what's the matter with you? 魁魁格，你怎么啦？
