英语听书《白鲸记》第1030期

（单词翻译）

And as mechanical, muttered Ahab. Then as the men went forward, he muttered on: "The things called omens¹! And yesterday I talked the same to Starbuck there, concerning my broken boat. Oh! how valiantly² I seek to drive out of others' hearts what's clinched³ so fast in mine! — The Parsee — the Parsee! — gone, gone? and he was to go before: — but still was to be seen again ere I could perish — How's that? — There's a riddle⁴ now might baffle all the lawyers backed by the ghosts of the whole line of judges: — like a hawk's beak⁵ it pecks my brain. I'll, I'll solve it, though!"

还象木瓜，亚哈喃喃道。接着，在大伙儿都向前走去时，他又喃喃着：“竟然有预兆这东西！我昨天跟斯达巴克在那边谈到我那只破艇时，就谈到这个。啊！我多勇敢，竟想打别人心里挖出那个在我心里贴得多紧的东西！——那?教徒——?教徒！——没啦，没啦？他竟不得不先走啦！——不过，在我完蛋以前，还是会再看到他的——这是怎么回事？——这个难解的谜，这会儿，也许会把那些有一长串鬼神的法官做后盾的律师们都难倒吧：——真象只鹰喙在啄我的脑子。可是，我一定，一定要来解这个谜！”

When dusk descended⁶, the whale was still in sight to leeward⁷.

这时，暮色拢来，还看到大鲸在下风的地方。

So once more the sail was shortened, and everything passed nearly as on the previous night; only, the sound of hammers, and the hum of the grindstone was heard till nearly daylight, as the men toiled⁸ by lanterns in the complete and careful rigging of the spare boats and sharpening their fresh weapons for the morrow. Meantime, of the broken keel of Ahab's wrecked⁹ craft the carpenter made him another leg; while still as on the night before, slouched Ahab stood fixed¹⁰ within his scuttle¹¹; his hid, heliotrope¹² glance anticipatingly gone backward on its dial; sat due eastward¹³ for the earliest sun.

于是，又再一次收缩篷帆，一切都跟上一天晚上差不多；只不过听到阵阵的锤子声和咿咿唔唔的磨刀石声，快近天亮才止息，因为大家都借着灯笼，有的忙着把备用的小艇仔细装配停妥，有的在磨他们的新刀枪，以备明天使用。与此同时，那个木匠正在用亚哈那只破艇的龙骨给亚哈再做一只腿；低挂着帽子的亚哈，则还是象昨天夜里一样，一动不动地站在小舱口中；他那遮盖着的反射器似的眼睛，有所期待地望着后边的罗盘面板，那只罗盘朝正东方摆在那儿，迎接晨曦降临。
