英语听书《白鲸记》第1034期

（单词翻译）

Steering¹ as she had done, the wind had been somewhat on the Pequod's quarter, so that now being pointed² in the reverse direction, the braced⁴ ship sailed hard upon the breeze as she rechurned the cream in her own white wake.

船一转了向，风也好象在“裴廓德号”的船尾了，所以，这会儿，一掉了向，这艘迅速作好追击准备的船便重新搅泼起原先在船尾的白浪，吃力地顶风前进了。

Against the wind he now steers⁵ for the open jaw⁶, murmured Starbuck to himself, as he coiled the new-hauled main-brace³ upon the rail. "God keep us, but already my bones feel damp within me, and from the inside wet my flesh. I misdoubt me that I disobey my God in obeying him!"

他现在正顶着风，要驶到那大张着的嘴巴那儿去，斯达巴克一边把刚拉过来的转帆索绕在栏杆上，一边暗自嘟哝着。"愿上帝保佑我们，可是，我已经感到浑身的骨头都发潮了，而且还打里头直湿到了我的肌肉。我担心我听从了亚哈，就是违反上帝的意旨！"

Stand by to sway me up! cried Ahab, advancing to the hempen⁷ basket. "We should meet him soon."

来把我晃上去呀！亚哈一边向着那只麻绳篮走去，一边嚷道。"我们不一会就要跟它会面了。"

Aye, aye, sir, and straightway Starbuck did Ahab's bidding, and once more Ahab swung on high.

是，是，先生，斯达巴克立即遵命照办，又把亚哈晃了上去。

A whole hour now passed; gold-beaten out to ages. Time itself now held long breaths with keen suspense⁸. But at last, some three points off the weather bow, Ahab descried⁹ the spout¹⁰ again, and instantly from the three mast-heads three shrieks¹¹ went up as if the tongues of fire had voiced it.

现在已整整过了一个钟头，金光灿烂的太阳已经偏斜了。时间老人本身现在也提心吊胆地屏息了好久。不过，最后，亚哈在距上风舷三个方位的地方，又看到了喷水，三支桅顶也立刻象火舌似的发出了三声尖叫。

Forehead to forehead I meet thee, this third time, Moby Dick! On deck there! — brace sharper up; crowd her into the wind's eye. He's too far off to lower yet, Mr. Starbuck. The sails shake!

莫比－迪克，这第三趟，我可跟你面面相对了！赶快准备起来！——转帆索再扯高来！把船完全顶着风。斯达巴克先生，它还隔得太远，无法放艇。风帆在晃喽！
