 But this insult is whittled 1 down to a point only.' But now comes the greatest joke of the dream, Flask 2.  而这种侮辱不过是一点点而已。不过,弗拉斯克,现在这个梦的最大的玩笑来到了。


While I was battering 3 away at the pyramid, a sort of badger-haired old merman, with a hump on his back, takes me by the shoulders, and slews 4 me round.  正当我在乱踢那金字塔的时候,来了一种长满獾毛的老人鱼,背上长着个驼峰,抓起我的肩膀,把我团团转地拖了一通。
What are you bout 5?says he. Slid! man, but I was frightened. Such a phiz! But, somehow, next moment I was over the fright. 你在干什么?他说。我滑倒了!老朋友,我可吓坏了。这么一副相貌!不过,不知怎么一来,过了一会,我又不害怕了。
What am I about?says I at last.And what business is that of yours, I should like to know, Mr. Humpback? Do you want a kick? 我在干什么?我终于说道。那么,你是干什么的,我倒想知道,驼背先生?你可要挨一脚?
By the lord, Flask, I had no sooner said that, than he turned round his stern to me, bent 6 over, and dragging up a lot of seaweed he had for a clout-what do you think, I saw? 的的确确,弗拉斯克,我的话还没有说完,他已经屁股一转,弯下腰去,拉起他当破布片用的一团海藻...你想我看到什么...
why thunder alive, man, his stern was stuck full of marlinspikes, with the points out. Says I on second thought,I guess I won't kick you, old fellow. 哎哟,老朋友,他的屁股尽是一些穿索针,尖端都戳了出来。我再一想,就说,我想我还是不踢你吧,老头儿。
Wise Stubb,' said he, 'wise Stubb;' and kept muttering it all the time, a sort of eating of his own gums like a chimney hag.  他说,聪明的斯塔布,聪明的斯塔布;他就这么不住地嘟哝下去,直象是一只烟囱似的八目鳗在嚼着它自己的齿龈。
Seeing he wasn't going to stop saying over his 'wise Stubb, wise Stubb,I thought I might as well fall to kicking the pyramid again.  我看到他并不打算停止他那'聪明的斯塔布,聪明的斯塔布,,我心想,还是再踢那个金字塔吧。
But I had only just lifted my foot for it, when he roared out,Stop that kicking!Halloa,says I,what's the matter now, old fellow? 但是,我刚把脚一举,要踢出去的时候,他就吼了起来,别踢!喂,我说,现在又怎么啦,老头儿?
Look ye here,says he; 'let's argue the insult. Captain Ahab kicked ye, didn't he?' 'Yes, he did,' says I--'right here it was. 你听着,他说,'什么叫侮辱,我们来辩一辩理吧。亚哈船长踢了你,可不是吗?是呀,他踢了我,我说...就正踢在这地方。
Very good,says he-he used his ivory leg, didn't he?Yes, he did,says I.  很好,他说...他使的是那只牙腿吧,可不是吗?不错,是这样,我说。
Well then,says he,wise Stubb, what have you to complain of? Didn't he kick with right good will?  那么,他说,聪明的斯塔布,你有什么可埋怨的呢?他可不是好心好意的踢吗?
