英語聽書《白鯨記》第120期

Holloa! he breathed at last, who be ye smokers?

嗨，你們，你們是誰?

Shipped men, answered I, when does she sail?

水手。船什么時(shí)候開?

Aye, aye, ye are going in her, be ye? She sails to-day. The Captain came aboard last night.

噢，你們是這條船上的水手?船長昨天夜里上了船了，今天就開!

What Captain?—Ahab?

船長?亞哈船長?

Who but him indeed?

當(dāng)然，沒有別的船長了。

I was going to ask him some further questions concerning Ahab, when we heard a noise ondeck.

我剛想繼續(xù)問下去，甲板上卻傳來了腳步聲。

Holloa! Starbuck's astir, said the rigger. He's a lively chief mate, that; good man, and apious; but all alive now, I must turn to.

聽，這是大副斯達(dá)巴克，他可是個(gè)好人，身強(qiáng)力壯、心地善良。他起床了，我也該干活兒了。

And so saying he went on deck, and we followed.

索匠邊說邊走上了甲板。

It was now clear sunrise. Soon the crew came on board in twos and threes; the riggersbestirred themselves; the mates were actively engaged;

太陽升起來了，船上的人們開始了最后的忙碌，

and several of the shore people were busy in bringing various last things on board.

大副、二副、三副指揮著水手們幫著從岸上把最后一批家什運(yùn)上船來。

Meanwhile Captain Ahab remained invisibly enshrined within his cabin.

船長還是沒露面，他在船長室里。
