英語聽書《白鯨記》 第122期

And, as for Captain Ahab, no sign of him was yet tobe seen; only, they said he was in the cabin.

法勒和比勒達(dá)從船長室里走了出來，法勒對大副說：

But then, the idea was, that his presence was by nomeans necessary in getting the ship under weigh,and steering her well out to sea.

怎么樣了，斯達(dá)巴克，亞哈船長剛才說不需要什么東西了，你把大家集合起來吧! 好啦，斯達(dá)巴克，執(zhí)行使命吧! 比勒達(dá)幫著腔。

Indeed, as that was not at all his proper business, but the pilot's; and as he was not yetcompletely recovered—so they said—therefore, Captain Ahab stayed below.

這兩位語氣強(qiáng)硬、威風(fēng)凜凜，儼然是船上的最高指揮官。可真正的指揮官—亞哈船長到現(xiàn)在也沒露面。

在船長室里和自己的親人做著告別的交談，直到親人們坐上小艇和領(lǐng)港人一齊離開大船為止。

Aft here, ye sons of bachelors, he cried, as the sailors lingered at the main-mast. Mr. Starbuck,drive'em aft.

嗨，斯達(dá)巴克先生，讓他們到船梢兒來，這些狗娘養(yǎng)的!
