 Chapter 78 Cistern 1 and Buckets 第七十八章 水槽和水桶


Nimble as a cat, Tashtego mounts aloft; and without altering his erect 2 posture 3, 塔斯蒂哥轻捷如猫地往上爬去,身体仍然非常笔挺,
runs straight out upon the overhanging mainyard-arm, to the part where it exactly projects over the hoisted 4 Tun. 直爬上那向外撑出的大桅桁臂,到了桁臂吊着大桶的突出的地方。
He has carried with him a light tackle called a whip, consisting of only two parts, travelling through a single-sheaved block. 他随身带有一只只有两样零件,靠一种小辘轳转动的小滑车。
Securing this block, so that it hangs down from the yard-arm, 他把这只小滑车缚在桁臂下面,
he swings one end of the rope, till it is caught and firmly held by a hand on the deck. 于是把绳子的一头一甩,由甲板上一个水手把它抓牢。
Then, hand-over-hand, down the other part, the Indian drops through the air, till dexterously 5 he lands on the summit of the head. 接着,这个印第安人就双手互换地、顺着桁臂的另一端从空中落下来,熟练地降落在那只鲸头的头顶。
There—still high elevated above the rest of the company, to whom he vivaciously 6 cries, 他在那地方——高高在上地耸立在众人头顶,对大家兴高采烈地叫喊,
he seems some Turkish Muezzin calling the good people to prayers from the top of a tower. 有如土耳其寺院里的报时者,在塔顶上通知善男信女去做祷告。
A short-handled sharp spade being sent up to him, he diligently 7 searches for the proper place to begin breaking into the Tun. 下边的人递给他一支锐利的短柄铲子,他就谨慎地找个适当的位置,着手打开那只大桶。
In this business he proceeds very heedfully, like a treasure-hunter in some old house, sounding the walls to find where the gold is masoned in. 他在做这事情的时候,十分小心在意,有如一个在什么古屋探宝的人,细心察看墙壁,看看黄金究竟埋在哪儿。
By the time this cautious search is over, a stout 8 ironbound bucket, precisely 9 like a well-bucket, has been attached to one end of the whip; 等到这番小心的探索工作告个段落,人们便把一只跟吊水桶一模一样的、箍着铁圈的结实的桶子缚在小滑车的一端,
while the other end, being stretched across the deck, is there held by two or three alert hands. 两三个机警的水手则拉住小滑车另一端那根伸到甲板上的绳索。
