That's true, that's true—yes, both true enough. But you must jump when he gives an order. 说的不错，千真万确，可是，可是他一声令下，你就会跳起老高来！
Step and growl 1; growl and go—that's the word with Captain Ahab. 他走一步，咆哮一声；咆哮一声，走一步，
But nothing about that thing that happened to him off Cape 2 Horn, long ago, 而你呢，你不得不一步步向后退！
when he lay like dead for three days and nights; nothing about that deadly skrimmage with the Spaniard afore the altar in Santa? 在别人眼中亚哈船长就是这样一个人，可你还不知道他在合恩角曾经像死人似的躺了三天。
Heard nothing about that, eh? Nothing about the silver calabash he spat 3 into? And nothing about his losing his leg last voyage, according to the prophecy. 当然，你就更不知道他把吐沫吐到银葫芦里的事了，还有上次航行中他丢掉的那条腿的故事。
Didn't ye hear a word about them matters and something more, eh? 你们都不知道吧？
No, I don't think ye did; how could ye? Who knows it? Not all Nantucket, I guess. 是的，没有人告诉你们，全南塔开特也没几个人知道。
But hows'ever, mayhap, ye've heard tell about the leg, and how he lost it; aye, ye have heard of that, I dare say. 不过，那条腿的事很多人都知道，一条大鲸鱼吃了他的腿！
Oh yes, THAT every one knows a'most—I mean they know he's only one leg; and that a parmacetti took the other off. 朋友，你讲这些是什么意思？你的脑子是不是出了点小毛病。你刚才讲的亚哈船长失去一条腿的事，我们很清楚。
