Any way, for the present, I'll quit Pip's vicinity. 总之,我暂时还是跟比普隔得远些好。 I can stand the rest, for they have plain wits; but he's too crazy-witty for my sanity. 其他的人我还受得了,因为他们都有清楚的神
Chapter 100 Leg and Arm 第一百章 臂和腿 The Pequod of Nantucket, Meets the Samuel Enderby, of London 南塔开特的裴廓德号遇到伦敦的撒母耳恩德比号 Ship, ahoy! Hast seen the White Whale? 船呀!可看到白鲸么? So cried
But here a curious difficulty presented itself. 可是,这当儿,却碰到了一个希奇的难题。 In the excitement of the moment, Ahab had forgotten that since the loss of his leg he had never once stepped on board of any vessel at sea but h
It so chanced that the doubloon of the Pequod was a most wealthy example of these things. 裴廓德号上这块杜柏仑,想不到竟成为这些东西的一个包罗万象的标本。 On its round border it bore the letters, REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR:
Now this doubloon was of purest, virgin gold, raked somewhere out of the heart of gorgeous hills, 且说这块杜柏仑,是用最纯净、没有搀杂的黄金做成的,黄金是打大山底里挖出来的, whence, east and west, over golden sa

Yes; and many is the time, when, after the severest uninterrupted labors, which know no night; 不错,往往就有许多时候,在他们不分日夜、连续不断干了九十六小时最辛劳的工作后; continuing straight through for ninet
Hands go diligently along the bulwarks, and with buckets of water and rags restore them to their full tidiness. 大家都在舷墙边勤劳地干活,手里拿着水桶、抹布,把舷墙恢复了它们本来的干干净净的面目。 The soot is
The smoke rolled away in sullen heaps. To every pitch of the ship there was a pitch of the boiling oil, which seemed all eagerness to leap into their faces. Opposite the mouth of the works, on the further side of the wide wooden hearth, was the windl
So seemed it to me, as I stood at her helm, and for long hours silently guided the way of this fire-ship on the sea. Wrapped, for that interval, in darkness myself, I but the better saw the redness, the madness, the ghastliness of others. The continu
Convulsively my hands grasped the tiller, but with the crazy conceit that the tiller was, somehow, in some enchanted way, inverted. My God! what is the matter with me? I thought. Lo! in my brief sleep I had turned myself about, and was fronting the s
With books the same. The truest of all men was the Man of Sorrows, and the truest of all books is Solomon's, and Ecclesiastes is the fine hammered steel of woe. All is vanity. ALL. This wilful world hath not got hold of unchristian Solomon's wisdom y
Chapter 97 The Lamp 第九十七章 灯 Had you descended from the Pequod's try-works to the Pequod's forecastle, where the off duty watch were sleeping, for one single moment you would have almost thought you were standing in some illuminated shrine
Chapter 98 Stowing Down and Clearing Up 第九十八章 装舱和打扫 Already has it been related how the great leviathan is afar off descried from the mast-head; 前面已经讲过了:大鲸是怎样老远就被桅顶上的人发现; how he is
At length, when the last pint is casked, and all is cool, then the great hatchways are unsealed, 最后,待到装完了最后一桶,所有的油都冷却了的时候,就打开许多大舱口, the bowels of the ship are thrown open, and down g
Removing the fire-board from the front of the try-works, the bare masonry of that side is exposed, penetrated by the two iron mouths of the furnaces, directly underneath the pots. These mouths are fitted with heavy doors of iron. The intense heat of

The timbers beneath are of a peculiar strength, 下边用的是负荷力特别大的木头, fitted to sustain the weight of an almost solid mass of brick and mortar, some ten feet by eight square, and five in height. 足以支撑那个简直是用砖
That office consists in mincing the horse-pieces of blubber for the pots; an operation which is conducted at a curious wooden horse, planted endwise against the bulwarks, and with a capacious tub beneath it, into which the minced pieces drop, fast as
And an idol, indeed, it is; or rather, in old times, its likeness was. Such an idol as that found in the secret groves of Queen Maachah in Judea; and for worshipping which, King Asa, her son, did depose her, and destroyed the idol, and burnt it for a
