 May be not, taking out a stick and whittling 1 a toothpick, but I rayther guess you'll be done brown if that ere harpooneer hears you a slanderin' his head. 你也许不是,他掏出一根火柴棒,把它削成一支牙签,不过,我却认为,如果那个标枪手听到你在讲他的头的坏话,那你可要变得焦黄了。


I'll break it for him, said I, now flying into a passion again at this unaccountable farrago of the landlord's. 那我就要打烂他的头,我说,店老板这番莫名其妙的混帐话,引得我又冒起火来。
It's broke a'ready, said he. 已经给打烂了,他说。
Broke, said I-broke, do you mean? 打烂了,我说...打烂了...是你说的吗?
Sartain, and that's the very reason he can't sell it, I guess. 当然啦,我想,这就是他卖不出去的道理。
Landlord, said I, going up to him as cool as Mt. Hecla in a snowstorm-landlord, stop whittling.  老板,我说,就象风雪交加的赫克拉山一样冰冷,走到他跟前去...老板,别再削火柴棒吧。
You and I must understand one another, and that too without delay.  我跟你应该把话说清楚,而且也是刻不容缓的事。
I come to your house and want a bed; you tell me you can only give me half a one; that the other half belongs to a certain harpooneer.  我来到你店里,要个铺位;你对我说,只能给我半个铺;说是还有一半是个什么标枪手睡的。
And about this harpooneer, whom I have not yet seen,  至于说到这个标枪手,我还没有看到他,
you persist in telling me the most mystifying and exasperating 2 stories tending to beget 3 in me an uncomfortable feeling towards the man whom you design for my bedfellow-a sort of connexion, landlord, which is an intimate and confidential 4 one in the highest degree.  你就唠唠叨叨地给我编排了这些希奇古怪.最惹人冒火的故事.存心要惹我对那个你指定要做我的睡伴...一种就关系说来,可以说是极端重要而非常亲密的人产生恶感。
