I have sat before the dense 1 coal fire and watched it all aglow 2, full of its tormented 3 flaming life; 我坐在塞满煤炭的火炉前，瞧它烧得通红，饱含它那熬煎的炽烈的生命；
and I have seen it wane 4 at last, down, down, to dumbest dust. 我也看到它最后熄下去，熄下去，熄成一堆无声无色的灰烬。
Old man of oceans! of all this fiery 5 life of thine, what will at length remain but one little heap of ashes! 海上的老人呵！你这个火一般的生命，到头来还不是只剩一小堆灰！
Aye, cried Stubb, "but sea-coal ashes — mind ye that, Mr. Starbuck — sea-coal, not your common charcoal 6. 喂，斯塔布嚷道，"请记住，只剩一小堆海炭灰，斯达巴克先生，是海炭，不是普通那种黑炭。
Well, well! I heard Ahab mutter, 'Here some one thrusts these cards into these old hands of mine; swears that I must play them, and no others.' 唔，唔，我听到亚哈在自言自语了，'噫，有人在我这双衰老的手里塞进了这几张牌；还赌神发誓地说，我必须单独玩下去。
And damn me, Ahab, but thou actest right; live in the game, and die in it!" 不过，亚哈，你干得不差，活在赌博里，死也死在赌博里！"
