"Thou hast outraged, not insulted me, Sir; but for that I ask thee not to beware of Starbuck; "你刚才不光是侮辱我，而且是对我施暴行，先生，不过，我请你不必提防斯达巴克；

thou wouldst but laugh; but let Ahab beware of Ahab; beware of thyself, old man." 你只消一笑置之得啦；可是，请亚哈当心亚哈，当心你自己吧，老人室。"

He waxes brave, but nevertheless obeys; most careful bravery that! murmured Ahab, as Starbuck disappeared. 他变得勇敢起来了，不过，还算听命令；这才是有谋之勇！斯达巴克一走，亚哈喃喃道。

"What's that he said—Ahab beware of Ahab—there's something there!" "他刚才说些什么——亚哈当心亚哈——其中一定有文章！"

Then unconsciously using the musket for a staff, with an iron brow he paced to and fro in the little cabin; 于是，他不知不觉地竟把那支滑膛枪当拐棍撑着，面色铁青，在那个小舱室里踱来踱去；

but presently the thick plaits of his forehead relaxed, and returning the gun to the rack, he went to the deck. 可是，他前额的密集的皱纹立刻又平服了，他把枪放回网架上，走上甲板。

Thou art but too good a fellow, Starbuck, he said lowly to the mate; then raising his voice to the crew: 你真是个太好的人，斯达巴克，他低声下气地对那个大副说后，就提高嗓门对水手们嚷道：

"Furl the t'gallant-sails, and close-reef the top-sails, fore and aft; back the main-yard; up Burtons, and break out in the main-hold." "把上桅帆卷起来，把前前后后的中桅帆都收紧；装上大桅下桁，吊起复滑车，把主舱打开来。"

It were perhaps vain to surmise exactly why it was, that as respecting Starbuck, Ahab thus acted. 亚哈究竟为什么要这般做法，斯达巴克也许是无从猜测的。
