Next morning Stubb accosted Flask. 隔天早晨,斯塔布走上来对弗拉斯克说: Such a queer dream, King-Post, I never had. You know the old man's ivory leg, well I dreamed he kicked me with it; 这样一个怪梦,中柱呀,我可从来没有做过
When Stubb had departed, Ahab stood for a while leaning over the bulwarks; 斯塔布走后,亚哈靠着舷墙,站了一会儿; and then, as had been usual with him of late, calling a sailor of the watch, he sent him below for his ivory stool, and als
Damn me, but all things are queer, come to think of 'em. But that's against my principles. 该死,只要你一想,万事都是古怪的。可是,这是违反我的原则的。 Think not, is my eleventh commandment; and sleep when you can, is my twelf
You would almost as soon have expected him to turn out of his bunk without his nose as without his pipe. 你简直别想在他下床的时候,会先看到他的鼻子而看不到他的烟斗。 He kept a whole row of pipes there ready loaded, stuck i

For several days after leaving Nantucket, nothing above hatches was seen of Captain Ahab. 离开南塔开特好几天后,甲板上仍然不见亚哈船长的影踪。 The mates regularly relieved each other at the watches, and for aught that could be

Nevertheless, the old sea-traditions, the immemorial credulities, popularly invested this old Manxman with preternatural powers of discernment. So that no white sailor seriously contradicted him when he said that if ever Captain Ahab should be tranqu
Not a word he spoke; nor did his officers say aught to him; 他一句话也不说,他的那几个头目也不跟他说一句话; though by all their minutest gestures and expressions, they plainly showed the uneasy, if not painful, consciousness of b
