Why, blast your eyes, Bildad, cried Peleg, thou dost not want to swindle this young man! he must have more than that. 不不不,比勒达,你对这小伙子有点不太公平了!法勒船长说。
Seven hundred and seventy-seventh, again said Bildad, without lifting his eyes; and then went on mumbling—for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 七百七十七分之一!
I am going to put him down for the three hundredth, said Peleg, do ye hear that, Bildad! The three hundredth lay, I say. 不,三百分之一!我写上了,三百分之一,听见了没有,比勒达?
Bildad laid down his book, and turning solemnly towards him said, 比勒达终于放下了手中的《圣经》,抬起头来说:
Captain Peleg, thou hast a generous heart; but thou must consider the duty thou owest to the other owners of this ship—widows and orphans 1, 法勒船长,你确实很慷慨,可你有没有想到这船的其他股东呢?他们可大都是些孤儿寡母啊!
many of them—and that if we too abundantly reward the labors 2 of this young man, we may be taking the bread from those widows and those orphans. 你把钱给了他,就等于从那些孤儿寡母嘴里抢了面包啊!
The seven hundred and seventy-seventh lay, Captain Peleg. 七 百七十七分之一,法勒船长!
Thou Bildad! roared Peleg, starting up and clattering 3 about the cabin. 该死的比勒达!
Blast ye, Captain Bildad, if I had followed thy advice in these matters, 我不能按你说的办,
I would afore now had a conscience to lug 4 about that would be heavy enough to founder 5 the largest ship that ever sailed round Cape 6 Horn. 否则我的良心就会沉重得足以让船在风平浪静中彻底沉没!法勒来回奔走着、叫喊着。
